CHAPTER 4
Anthony couldn't believe his ears. This timid, seemingly modest woman was offering her body to save herself from going to prison. He had never realized she could be this shameless.
This wasn't the first time he had received an offer like this. But it was under a different circumstance by someone stark opposite of Faith.
Anthony never accepted. He didn't have time for such a trifling matter. He didn't like to date or mess around like some spoiled billionaire playboy. Time was money, and he didn't like to waste it by chasing after women. He agreed to be engaged to his business partner's daughter, Malcolm Sevirno, simply because he wanted to strengthen their business relationship. There was no love between them.
But Faith's sudden boldness piqued his interest. He was seeing her in a different light. This mousy woman stood her ground and agreed to his ridiculous term just to save herself. How desperate can you get!
Sure, why not. Let's see how long she will keep up with this game, he thought. He knew there was no way she would follow through, and he was willing up test her limit.
He came closer and harshly grabbed her face. "Sure, Faith, I'll play your game. You don't particularly stand out among the other women I've been with, but you caught my interest with this ridiculous offer, so I'll take it. I am willing to forget about what you did after you spend the night with me," he said and grinned. He was sure she would get scared by his cruelty and back out.
Faith stared at him for a moment and nodded. "Tell me where and I'll be there."
Anthony was shocked. This woman was something else. So full of surprises. He let go of her face and stepped back.
"My driver will pick you up after work and take you to a hotel. I expect you to be ready before I get there," he said gruffly. He looked her up and down. "I don't like the way you dress."
"Sir?" Faith looked at him with those big brown eyes that he used to think were innocent.
"Your clothes. They are ugly. If you want to please me, I want you to dress like a high-class whore," Anthony's lips curved into a twisted smile.
"Works for me," Faith said and strode away. Anthony smiled. You will regret this, Ms. Williams, he thought to himself.
He didn't know why he bothered to entertain this situation, but something about her made him want to try it. She had an air of mystery around her. Something told him she wasn't all that meek and powerless. He wanted to see what she would do if he pushed her over the edge. He wasn't a sadist, but he could use some entertainment in his life.
In a few hours, Faith made it to the hotel room. She felt sick to her stomach as she put on one of her best dresses that she had saved for a special date in the future. A black car arrived at her house and picked her up just as Anthony promised.
Faith sat in the hotel room and patiently waited for Anthony. She managed to remain calm so far, but she could feel fear creeping up inside of her. What kind of man was Anthony? Would he be gentle, or would he hurt her? She had no choice but to endure everything.
The door opened, and Anthony walked in. "So you showed up after all, huh?" He said while taking off his tie. "Thought you would change your mind by now," he smirked.
"I won't break my promise as long as you keep yours," she said calmly. Her insides were twisted into knots.
"I see. Then what are you waiting for? Take off your dress," he ordered.
He is jumping right into it! He'll hurt me, Faith felt her body stiffen with fear, but she didn't argue. She unzipped her dress and let it fall on the floor. Her body felt hot with embarrassment.
Anthony scanned her body. His face was neutral. He must be used to seeing more voluptuous women, she thought.
"Not bad, Faith. Who would've thought you are hiding that sexy body under those baggy dresses," he commented.
Faith blushed despite her situation. No one ever described her as sexy before. She always thought of herself as plain and boring.
He came closer and stroked her arms. His fingers gave her goosebumps all over her body. He suddenly pushed her on the bed and roughly kissed her. There was no warmth or tenderness in that kiss. He sucked her nipple and lightly bit it. A moan escaped from her throat before she could stop it.
No, I can't enjoy this. This is a business transaction, not sex between two people who care about each other! she thought to herself.
He pulled off her panties and turned her around. Wait...is he just going to go in like that? She wasn't ready! It was as if he didn't want to treat her as a person. She was just an object.
He leaned over and whispered in her ears. "I'll give you one last chance to back out of this, Faith. Say no, and I will leave you, and we can deal with the matter properly," he said.
Properly as in, she will get fired and possibly go to jail. She can't let that happen.
"NO! I want to do this. This was the deal," Faith said. She tried to control herself from shaking. Must not show him fear, she thought.
"Very well, if that's what you want. I am afraid you aren't the type of woman I am attracted to, so I don't want to look at your face. Raise your ass so I can fuck you from behind," he said.
Why does he have to be so cruel? Do I really deserve this? She sobbed silently and did as she was told.
Pain shot through her body as he thrust into her. She gripped the sheets tightly and tried to endure them as much as possible.
"Fuck...you were a goddamn virgin?" he said as he pumped into her, breathing heavily.
She didn't answer and just closed her eyes. She pretended he was someone she loved. I did this to myself, she thought.
After he was done, he laid down beside her. "Why didn't you tell me this was your first time? Why would you offer your body to someone like that? Don't you have any self-respect?" he asked.
"But you accepted it," she whispered.
"I thought you were some loose woman who did these types of things to get what she wanted. You are unbelievable. You can keep the damn job just don't come in front of me unless you have to," Anthony snarled.
"I...yes sir," she whispered.
"Clean yourself up. My driver will drop you home," he said and stepped away.
