Clairessa’s POV

Chapter 15: Fighting Off The Monster

“Call me Marco,” he urged, his voice harsh as he stood in front of me. “I’m about to sink millions of dollars into your app. What do I get in return for my kind gesture?”

“Sir, the terms of your compensation will be detailed in the contract,” I said, trying to keep my voice professional as I took a few steps back. “You can’t be in the restroom with me. Please leave now. Your presence is making me uncomfortable.”

He closed the distance and leaned in, his breath hot against my skin, making it crawl with disgust. “I know girls like you. You act innocent at first,” he sneered, his hand brushing against my cheek. “But for the right price, you’d open those sweet thighs.”

Fury surged through me. “Mr. Marco, I’m not a prostitute, and I couldn’t care less about your money. If you’re here to collect some kind of repayment for your offer, you can fuck off,” I spat, my eyes meeting his now furious gaze.

“I love a good fight,” he smirked, his cold hands caressing my neck inappropriately. Panic rose within me. “Please stop, Mr. Marco,” I demanded, slapping his hands away firmly.

That action made him angry, and his smirk turned into a frown. His hands gripped my neck tightly, almost choking me.

“From the moment I saw you, I knew I would do anything to make you mine. I’ve watched you throughout your stay, and I know you want me to,” he growled, tightening his grip, making it hard for me to breathe.

“No, I don’t,” I gasped, revulsion surging through me as his tongue ran across my face. I tried to fight him off, but he was too strong.

“Please stop, Marco! I’m begging you!” I cried, using all my strength to push him away, but he overpowered me.

“No one is coming to save you,” he mocked. “This restroom is secluded, and Gabriel’s in a long meeting. By the time he returns, I’ll be done.”

His words terrified me. The confidence in his voice told me this wasn’t the first time he’d done something like this. I summoned all my strength and shoved him, trying to run, but he quickly caught me and pinned me against his body, yanking my hair painfully as he forced me against the vanity top.
