“Then if that's the case we can set you up for another location.” He tried to make me change my mind.

“Appreciate your efforts. I'm still going to pay you for the stress,” I promised. “But I don't need the house anymore.”“I understand ma'am, thank you,” he said before ending the call.

I had never been comfortable staying in the manor. The only reason I could tolerate it was because of Lucas and Sebastian. Kate, who had invited me, acted like I was her enemy. James the owner of the house was a creep. Lucas, to whom I had recently opened my heart, indirectly called me a gold digger because of my past.

Who knew when Sebastian would change? I for one was not waiting around to find out. I decided to pack my things and return to Chicago, but first I needed to formally resign.

I arrived at the hospital in my most casual clothing to show off that I wasn't there to work.

“Olivia, thank God you're here,” one of the nurses said. “Do you mind helping us out? We need more hands at the children's ward.”

It was easy to tell her no and go submit my letter to HR.

“I don't have a lot of time today, so I'll help you briefly,” was the response that flew out of my mouth.

Stupid little…

I joined the nurses at the children's ward and helped them, following their instructions. I was going to miss the kids; most of them had become my friends so leaving might make some of them cry. I was convinced that they wouldn't even notice I was gone.

“Thank you so much,” the nurse who had called me thanked me.

“It's fine,” I replied.

“By the way, I wasn't going to ask at first, but why aren't you dressed for work?” she asked as she checked out the mini dress I was wearing.

“Like I said I didn't plan on staying here long for today I have to leave,” I explained.

“Oh, you must have a trip, good luck then,” she said and turned to leave for work.

“No, I mean I'm….”

Never mind.

Kate

Last night, I was asleep. Great way to start I know, but bear with me. Anyway, while I was asleep, I woke up to the sensation of someone touching me. I opened my eyes and found James behind me. His dick was already hard and was rubbing it against my ass.

“What are you doing?” I asked. “You shouldn't do that while I'm asleep.”

“You and Olivia keep talking like I can't do whatever the hell I want,” he complained as he used his fingers to start touching my pussy. He pressed me the right way, but I found it hard to get turned on because of how scared I was.

Wait did you just mention Olivia?

“Stupid little bitch, punching me in the face,” he grumbled.

“Wait did you try making a move on Olivia?” I asked.

“I didn't she was the one who seduced me and then hit me when I refused,” he replied.

“Olivia seduced you?” It sounded so unbelievable that he actually thought that lie would work on me.

“Right in the wine bar, the maids were there to witness,” he continued the lie as he undressed me.

When I returned from the spa treatment, he was in the wine room. I wasn't in the mood talking to him, so I went straight to the room and fell asleep. He took off my clothes wanting to have his way with me while spreading lies about my best friend.

Olivia was right. What kind of life would I be leaving if I ended up marrying this man? A life filled with panic and fear? All for what his wealth? He kept on trying to touch me, but I wasn't turned on in the slightest.
