Chapter
SKYLAR
I laid In bed that night lost in thought. I was so confused about what to do.
The door opened, I turned to see Taylor breathing hard.
"Hey, I thought you were going to spend the night with your dad.."
She closed the door behind her and plop down on her bed.
"How could I..when I left you alone with that hot stuff earlier?"
I sighed and laid down back.
"Uh..are you okay? Why was he here?"
Oh jeez, should I tell her?
I need to get that money before next week.
I took a deep breath and explain everything to her.
She raised her brows"There's no way in hell Conner will need that money, he's a freaking multi Billionaire. I'm sure he has other intentions towards you cause he knows you wouldn't be able to afford it."
Hmm, what could he possibly have in mind?
We've only met once for Christ's sake and he knows much about me.
"How much did he say it is?"
"One million dollars," I said and her mouth formed an oh.
"Oh jeez, Sky what are you going to do now? I can't give you that much, my dad's gonna question me.
I can only give two hundred thousand dollars, I'm so sorry I wish I could help."
I got up from bed and went to hug her"Oh my God Tay, you're such a darling.
I'm going to come up with something"...
#One_week_later
Oh jeez, it's one week already and I still haven't raised half of the money.
I only raised fifty added to the one Taylor gave me.
Even after the part-time jobs... it's still wasn't enough.
What am I going to do? I just hope he has forgotten about it.
Lectures were over that day, I was walking out of class about to go home when I saw some men standing in black suits.
My heart skipped, oh God... don't tell me they're here for me.
I used my book to cover my face and tried walking past them. I heard...
"Hello Miss"
Oh damnit! Not now.
I kept on walking but someone stepped in front of me.
"Ma'am, our boss would like to have a word with you"
I sighed"Um...Are you sure I'm the one? You must be mistaken"
"Yes Ma'am, you're Skylar right?"
I shook my head" I'm sorry no, my name is Paige"I lied
I became speechless when he brought out a picture of me. He gave me a look that said"Really?"
I had no choice but to go with them.
Thirty minutes later, we arrived at a big company. I stepped out of the car with my mouth hanging.
Oh my God!
Is this a company or paradise?
It's so big and beautiful, made of glass.
The building was so tall...
"This way miss"
I followed the man to the elevator.
There was a beep when we got to the last floor, the elevator door opened and we both stepped.
"That way" he pointed at a door and left.
I was about to knock when the door opened.
A lady stepped out adjusting her extremely short dress, she had disheveled hair and a just Fu*ked look.
She scoffed when she saw me and brushed past me.
I raised my brows and opened the door only to see Conner shirtless, adjusting his belt.
Hmm.. he's a flirt.
I didn't know I was drooling until he spoke up"When you're done staring, you can have a seat" he said with a smirk on his lips.
I glared at his back as he went behind a door and went to sit on the chair.
Oh, Skylar, this is it.
Just tell him to give you more time so I can complete his money.
"So Skylar, I'm hoping my money's ready now," he said coming out from the door, his shirt was on.
"Um... it's not completed yet... if you could please give me more time to... "
"An ah... I don't know about Miss Skylar, I need to get that glass fixed"
I huffed"You have enough money to do that why do you want me to pay?" I muttered and cleared my throat"Um.. what I meant was.. I'll appreciate it if you give me more time"
He tsk"I'm afraid I can't do that Skylar, there are other means you could pay though... "
I sat upright at that"Really? How?"
"Yeah.. the problem is... if you can do it"
He crossed his arms and leaned back on his chair.
"Tell me what it is sir, I'm sure I'll be able to do it"
He smiled"Very well Skylar.. the only thing you could do to pay for the glass is a baby"
My heart stopped, I blinked and gave him a look"What?"
"Yes Skylar, I want a baby from you"
I opened my mouth and closed it several times, completely speechless.
Does he want a baby from me?
For how much?
A million dollars?
I shook my head and got up"I'm sorry Connor, I can't give you that"
I picked up the bag and was walking out of the office when I heard...
"I heard you were on Scholarship Skylar"
I paused"You wouldn't do that" I muttered turning to him."You can't do this to me!!"
He shrugged"I'm being fair Skylar, a baby since you can't pay for the repairs"
He smirked"So, what do you say?"
