Chapter 24
|| VALERIA's POV ||

" Madam! Are you okay? Do you need anything?"

It was the lady caretaker who asked me these questions. I had been splashing water on my face over the past hour literally. The nightmares came back again. When I woke up in my empty cold bed, I was sweaty all over. Probably, I didn't ever cure myself.

I waved my hands dismissively,
" I am fine! Thanks for your concern. Just give me a coffee!"

The lady caretaker nodded before leaving. She didn't look convinced by my answer. Probably, his sick torture reached all ears. The caretaker was the only person who cared for me in the house. I came out of the washroom groggily. It was late at night and I didn't see Gideon for the rest of the day. But the pain in my ass reminded me of what he had done to me today.

I walked to the bed to sit down leisurely. It was even more difficult to move around with my sore butt. The caretaker returned with the coffee in her hands. She placed it in front of me and offered me an ointment without further questioning,
" Here! This ointment.. It's a herbal one, Madam! You will feel good."

I gave her an awkward look but the kindness in her eyes was pure. Besides, I was grateful that she didn't ask too many questions. I smiled after accepting the medicine,
" Thank you! Like really..At least you cared.."

The lady caretaker smiled big not before turning her tone into a serious one,
" Madam! Sir isn't that big.. It's just...he went through a lot these years. You will understand him more gradually. When you understand him, you will begin to care for him too."

She left without staying further. I kept staring at her back speechlessly. I knew Gideon even before the lady but her words seemed to carry a hidden message.

" Good Morning, Miss Addams!"

" Good Morning!"

I came alone to the office the next morning. Honestly, I didn't know how to deal with him after what he did to me yesterday. The ointment worked and I was a little less sore today. At least, I could sit down comfortably.

When I entered my department, a serious discussion was going on among my colleagues. One of them came to tell me excitedly,
" Gosh! Valeria! Did you hear that? We are going abroad for our next project. The boss is picking the staff. Aren't you interested?"

Abroad with him? No thanks! He had gotten enough on my nerves!!

I faked a big smile, sounding uninterested,
" No, thanks! I haven't even finished my work here. So, I will just stay here. You guys have fun."

She looked a little surprised then shrugged before walking away. I released a sigh of helplessness. I badly wished to get pregnant and leave his trap as soon as possible. Sitting back on my chair, I started working on my laptop until his secretary showed up with an announcement. Apart from me, the whole department pushed back and forth to come forward. His secretary voiced out loudly, glancing around with a smile,
" I have an announcement to make everyone! Our boss has picked up who is going with us."

I kept my gaze down, giving all the attention to my work. But still, his loud voice found me,
" Rosa, Miss Haythan & Miss Valeria!"

My gaze shot up to flash him a glare. Everyone looked surprised as well because I was a newbie in his office. In no way, I was qualified to join this project. I mean, I had no fucking experience.

Why did he do that to make me awkward?

I cleared up my throat before sitting uncomfortably. Looking at my astounded colleagues, I excused myself from there,
" Sorry! I didn't know! I have to talk with the boss."

" I am not fucking coming with you!"

I barged into his office room, his secretary chasing after me. He waved his hands to dismiss the guy before setting his attention on me. He asked casually, leaning against the chair,
" Why? Is it because I will be there?"

I rolled my eyes hard at his sarcastic remark. Restraining my anger, I replied like an obedient employee,
" I have plenty of unfinished works here, Boss. I hope you can consider, keeping me out of this trip."

His deep eyes laid on me for a while. After a short silence, he got up from his chair to walk over to me. Gideon came in front of me to ask me for those glaring eyes,
" I am your boss, Valeria! I make the rules! But..I might reconsider if you offer me a sweet deal."

I asked, narrowing my eyes at him,
" What's the price?"

His eyes burnt into me as he asked, pursuing his lips together,
" Bend over the desk!"

His voice was now strained, full of temptations. My nipples almost turned hard from the way he demanded. I asked him back, crossing my arms over my chest,
" Don't tell me that you want to fuck me in your office?"

His lips pulled up into a smirk as he looked straight at my breasts that had popped out of my polo shirt.

Pervert!!!

I cursed in my head and heard his answer,
" Bend over the desk, Princepessa!!"

Now, his tone had changed into a serious one. I knew that he wasn't kidding. Stumping on my feet, I went over to bend down on his desk. I just wanted to cancel this trip no matter what. Besides, if he wasn't in town, it would be easier for me to find out what my father was trying to do exactly.

I felt his majestic presence behind me. His hands crawled down to push the skirt up. I sucked a deep breath as soon as the cold weather bit my skin.

God! I never imagined getting fucked in an office room but my body seemed to like the temptation! Probably because it was him?

Instead of dragging my panties down, he gripped one of my ass cheeks to make me growl in pain. He muttered, asking into my ears,
" Does it hurt still?"

I almost jerked my head to shoot him a questioning look because he sounded like he cared. Letting out a sad chuckle, I replied in a voice of mockery,
" Please! Don't sound like you fucking care? In case, you have forgotten, you did this to me."

He exhaled from his mouth, growling his response out,
" Why are you fucking stubborn?"

I shrugged, looking around to distract my mind,
" I thought, I was always like this. Rich.. spoiled..brat.. like you said..now come on.. fuck me and seal the deal. I don't want to go abroad with you, Gideon!"

He pushed my panties down this time, his voice coming out as growling,
" Give me a valid reason! Is that only because you don't want to be with me?"

I nodded my head without a second thought. The following moment, he pushed a finger inside my core. I let out a frustrated groan to feel him smiling. I couldn't help but bark this time, gripping the edge of the desk hard,
" I don't understand you sometimes..like fuck...you hate me..then why do you want me.. now and then..."

He remained silent for a few seconds as if he were looking for a perfect answer to destroy me. After a long silence, he replied with a dark face,
" Consider yourself as my fuck whore, Gideon! There's nothing else between us..not anymore... Remember...if you aren't falling pregnant within a year, the torture will continue for the rest of your life..."

The truth cut me deep one more time. I knew the truth already but hearing from his mouth broke me always. Fighting with my tears, I told him breathlessly,
" Yes, Boss! There will be nothing between us like you said!!"
