The Arrangement (unenhanced Edition) by AnnaRCase (books to read now .txt) 📖

                “Perhaps now isn’t the best time for this conversation,” suggested Leo, “Perhaps we should leave it until both of you have had some time to cool off.”

                Leo still had a hand against Grayson’s chest, but Grayson wasn’t trying to physically harm Amberleigh. He was just furious as evidenced by his bulging neck veins and pacing around the marble floors. She didn’t feel scared of him. And got that the vibe, he wouldn’t try and touch her with anything other than his words.

                “It’s none of your fucking business you bitch! You had no right to trespass in my room and go through my shit! Besides you signed a fucking contract. So unless you want to make things really ugly, and really expensive for yourself Miss Dubois, you won’t say a fucking word to anyone about it.”

                She laughed, “It’s not about the fucking money you bastard! I just want to know why? Mr. Godwin, I want to hear it from your own mouth, why you would you risk having a child affected by it?”

                “I need an heir. I hired you to do the job Miss Dubois. Not ask fucking questions.  Or go through my private things. Or follow me and intrude on private moments of my life.”

                “Just tell me the truth. You wanted to save your precious companies reputation. Couldn’t have the investors knowing you and Daddy were sick. It’s about the money to you. Nothing else fucking matters…”

                “I guess you’ve said everything that needs to be said then Miss Dubois. I shall release you from your contract, save the confidentiality clause. I will wire money into your account for your time. Feel free to pack your things and I call a car for you.”

                And just like that, Grayson Godwin was dismissing her from his life as quickly as she’d come into it. In fact, the bastard turned his back on her and walked away. Nothing which had happened between them mattered. Not those pretty promises he’d made. Not the way their bodies had joined together only hours before, something beyond just a quick, no strings attached fuck. She didn’t matter to him.

                “Keep your fucking money and shove it up your pampered ass!  I don’t want it,” she yelled after him.

                Leo gave her an apologetic look as he stood in the hall. He seemed torn. But it came no surprise that the chef choose Grayson.  He followed after the billionaire and left Amberleigh standing all alone in the hall.
