Dominate me by Julia Romush (most read books txt) 📖

All the money and savings I had left after the exchange of the house and the money set aside from my salary was barely enough to "to feed" one of the members of the commission.  

Nervously, I started joking with myself about where I could sell - a) innocence, b) kidney. Or all together.  

I have three months.  

Ninety nonsensical days in which I had to find "Two million," Ms. Maria  voice settled in my head with a biting worm, "and this is ... just the beginning. You know that you lose a lot to other candidates. Honey, you need more convincing "arguments" ... " 

I clenched my teeth, clenched my fists so as not to scream with helplessness.  

Then everything was tested: loans from friends, bank loans, tearful pleas on my knees. A month of unsuccessful searches, which practically killed all hope for light at the end of the tunnel.  

Ms. Maria  was not penetrated by anything. Only the rustle of bills, which she, already with enraged impudence, completely lost the feeling of fear, began to demand for almost every visit.  

I almost lost hope when I had a situation with Artem.  

The man agreed to my condition, not even suspecting that I would ask.  
 

I could have asked for help, but I was going to take the money. I don't know why, but my whole being been reluctant to tell  why and for whom I was doing it.  

I was sure he wouldn't believe me. And if he did believe ... it's not a fact that he would agree.  

I'm not proud, no, and I don't want to be considered that way. Just like I don't want to be pitied.  
 

My presence in his life changed to the presence of his money in mine. Wonderful pleasure. 

And if for this purpose it was necessary to dress everything all that now hung before me in a fitting room, then ... it is not so terrible, to get the money I need.  

I looked at these sets with a condescending look, checked the size and decided to take ... everything . When I put them on for Artem, let it be a surprise for me ...  

Only I gathered my courage, grabbed a bundle of things when my phone rang. The phone number was unknown. 

I don't usually take such calls, but now I've decided otherwise.  

"Hello", I said carefully, like I was doing something wrong at the moment. 

"Are you done yet?". I vaguely recognized Artem's voice on the phone.  

I heard it for the first time, so it sounded so unnatural.  

"Yes", I nodded, even though he didn't see me, just at that moment, dumping everything on the cash register, "just ... " 
 

"Then I'll be waiting for you in half an hour", said the man in a steel voice that does not tolerate objections .  

"Where?". I was a little embarrassed. Judging by the tone, the man was dissatisfied. And I was scared that he was dissatisfied with me.  
 

"Alexander knows."  

And that's it. And disconnected.  

"You need to pay twenty-three thousand", the store consultant said with a mock smile.  

Shuddering at the amount I heard, I held out my card, hoping there was so much money in.  

But I was even more hopeful that Artem will do nothing with me for the fact that in five minutes I bought underwear for the monthly salary of the average resident. 

"We're waiting for you again", said the vile aunt through her teeth, clearly upset that the card had worked.  

"I'm definitely ... I won't come. All the bad to you", I smiled so that my cheekbones twitched, and I walked out of the boutique on my inflexible legs.  

On my way out, I felt my fingers numb. Excitement betrayed me with my head. And I still could not calm down, I was just thinking about where Artem will make me go? And, most importantly, why?!
