Chapter 5 One million or you leave

Both walking side by side,alone talking about a lot if things trying to cheer up the intense moment between them.

"Yunno,i was thinking if we could host a party and invite friends from college"She started.

"A party?"He shook his head and said "if that's a good idea or not,i don't know because I'm not a party person besides i don't have friends....

"But i do,i'll invite my friends both Theresa and Phoenix "She pouted her lips cutely.

Collins smiled and faced her.

"What?you can invites Kingsley and Charlie,they're your friends afterall"She suggested and he nodded.

"Kingsley is a sure thing but you see Charlie,i don't think he'll attend the party"Collins muttered.

Kingsley,Charlie and Collins,are three bestfriends well known in college,they're all good looking in the same way that you won't be able to choose the most handsome among them.

"Right,Charlie can be so cold sometimes...."Collins cleared his throat and she hit his arm.

"C'mon,i didn't say anything"He giggled at her reaction.

"I don't feel anything for him again,what we had was highschool,and i know he's still madly in love with his late girlfriend so don't stare at me"Cassandra said in a way of defending herself.

Collins smiled,he could see it in her eyes that she's still in love with Charlie,her reaction says it all,it's not that easy to unlove someone you once cherished.

"Hey,am serious "Cassandra screamed at him.

"I know "He answered with a grin.

"Good"She rolled her eyes,hiding her feelings,she promised herself not to think about Charlie but her brother made it impossible for her.

[KINGSLEY'S PLACE]

"Yes,it's a goal!"He screams out overjoyed,his team just scored a goal.

Kingsley Norman lives alone in his rented apartment,he's only staying in the united states to study,and leaves once it's holiday time.

Luckily,he has a female bestfriend who treats him like a brother and wouldn't let him feel lonely at all,sometimes he wished he could stay there till he's done studying but his family won't permit him especially his father.

Phoenix brought a glass of milk for him,she's also a fan of soccer but different team.

"I warned you not to bet with me"Kingsley winked at her.

"Just a goal,this is just thirty minutes,the match isn't over"She retorted.She's a fan of Arsenal and he's a fan of Barcelona.

"I will win that's for sure"Kingsley laughed,he concentrated on the screen watching while she sipped out of her milk also watching.

"C'mon,what rubbish are they playing,goodness"She gritted and Kingsley laughed.

Her eyes widened when she saw the ball going straight inside the net,another goal.

Two-Zero.

"Yesssss!"Kingsley laughed.

"Darn,those losers"She cursed.

"Just give up already,and agree to live in my house till the end of this semester"Kingsley laughed and she threw a pillow at him.

"Fvck off!"

Kingsley laughed more,he's pnky teasing her and hopes that she would live with him,they can create more memories together.

[Gilbert's Estate]

As big as the estate is,it's always silent,not because it's empty. Years back when,the Gilbert family was still like a family,Charlie,Mina and Gilbert himself,it's filled with joy and happiness.

Mina was sitting in the small garden,as usual lost in thought,recalling memories she used to have with her son.

Then Gilbert strolled behind her and embraced her,she jerked herself from his touch immediately.

"Sweetheart,i understand you love Charlie...

"And i understand you're only selfish because of your career,you're not thinking about the well being of your son"She retorted,wiping a tear from her eyes with the back of her hand.

He sighed and cupped her red cheeks with his palm and she jerked his hand away again pushing his chest.

"Money,power,fame,we have it already,but happiness,the family,i dreamt to have you worked to have is falling apart,and you're responsible...

"Mina!what are you talking about?"He raised his voice.

"I am saying that this family is not HAPPY,there's no bond no joy nothing,Charlie..."A tear dropped from her eyes.

"He looked straight into my eyes and tell me 'I HATE YOU'. He hates us,especially me and he's going astray yet you keep giving him the support that's not even needed"She shouted.

"He's not going astray!"He muttered.

"Sweetheart,you're just being emotional about this,you're being sensitive to the situation,Charlie will be fine,he'll ....

"Disgusting"She breathed out and ran inside the mansion.

He shook his head and sighed,when will she understand his point. Charlie is growing his political and he's also developing a reputation for himself.

He waltzed back inside to pet his sensitive wife.

*NEXT MORNING*

Charlie is known for his striking features and captivating appearance, characterized by a chiseled facial structure, defined jawline, dark eyes, and cold, delicate features.

Fully dressed in a black suit,his tie black everything on him black,he caressed the tip of his hair,his pink lips enticing,his well crafted nose,his eyes,gawd,his beauty is something to write about,looking handsome devilishly.

His phone rang,at first he didn't want to answer it then he made his way out of the room.

Annabella opened her eyes,the soreness in between her legs,the kiss bruises on her white chest,her red nipples brought back memories of last night. She stared at the empty space beside her,then sat up straight holding the duvet covering her chest.

Now,it's gone,her virginity is gone,She did it for her mother and nothing else.She crawled out of the bed to take her bath.

Minutes later she walked out,dressed in a short flare gown,he got her a new gown since he tore her dress last night.

Her hole hurts a lot but it's bearable for her,as long as she get paid and she clears her mother's hospital bills.

Charlie already in the room,waiting patiently for her,sipping his coffee.

"Good Morning"She greeted him with a bow,he dropped the coffee glass and stood up from the couch.

Charlie's eyes traced from her eyes down to her hot legs,hoping to get in between them and fvck the hell out of her.

Uncontrollably,he pulled her waist and a light gasp escaped her lips.

"Mr Gilbert...

Charlie pushed her against the wall,pinned her hand and buried his face on her neck.

She bit her lips so hard to suppress her moan,she can't resist his touch not when he's svcking on her neck.

"I'll double your payment if...

"Mr Gilbert,i need to go please"She blurted out and managed to get out of his grip.

"Did you just reject me?"He asked with a smirk unbelievably to him.

"It's just a night,please make the payment and let me go"Annabella muttered in a low tone.

Charlie grabbed her neck and pushed her on the bed roughly.

She bounced on the bed,his hand gripped her neck before smashing his lips on her own.

"Uhmm"She struggled in his strong arms,hitting his chest fistly,his tongue rolled inside her mouth,moving his lips on her own fiercely,his hand pressing her right breast,she's not wearing a bra,he could squeeze her perking nipples.

"Uhm"She grabbed his hair and forcefully pushed him off.

"I'm not a bitch,i did this for money,to pay my mother's hospital bills,pay me and let me go!"She shouted at him.

Charlie smirks at her reaction and stood up straightening his shirt.

A million?"He asked.

"Five...."He smirked,his lips stretching in light smile which immediately faded.

"Five million?for?"He questioned her,he didn't have her the whole night and she's asking for that much.

"One million or you leave"He blunted and she swallowed in tears already.
