Chapter Nine

I stared at the document in my hands. Slowly, I opened it–I hadn’t even realized I was holding in a breath.

I skipped the introduction and began:

I paused, about to ask how he knew my full name, but after one look at those cold eyes, I continued. “The duration of this contract is a year (twelve months), if agreed by both parties.” I paused again. “A year is more than I can handle I whispered. A lot could happen in a year. The thought that he would have control over me for a whole year sent a chill down my spine. I never really considered what would happen if this went all wrong and things could easily ‘very wrong“. “Three months,” I say, and I hated how shaky my voice sounded.

His jaw tightened; it was such a small movement, but I noticed it. Thane didn’t like the fact that I was bargaining; I knew what was written down was only there to make me feel like I had a choice–a say in this, even if I didn’t.

“Nine months,” he says, and maybe I should give in.

“Six months,” I said instead.

The small smirk on his lips wasn’t at all settling.

Agreed. Move on”
