I thought all night how I could ‘submit’ to Maximo and nothing came to mind. Sex? Too easy. Begging and pleading? Again, too easy. It was finally daylight. I figured they would probably bring my breakfast up soon, so I pulled on a silk night gown over my naked body and went to brush my teeth.
When I was finished and walked back into the room, a large man was standing at the foot of my bed. “Breakfast, now.” I walked over to him and tried to grab the silk robe on the bed but he grabbed my arm and pulled me down the stairs.
“What the hell are you doing!” I yelled, trying to pull back my arm, but he was so strong.
“Breakfast.” He repeated dumbly while pulling me down the corridor to the dining room. He pulled me into the dining room and there he sat, smiling at my misery.
He looked me up and down, raising his eyebrow. “Sit.” He said dryly. I didn’t budge so the large man slammed me down into the chair and pushed it in tight to the table.
Maximo stood up and walked a plate of bacon, eggs, and toast over to me. He poured me a glass of water and orange juice and waited for me to pick up my fork. “Eat it all.” He pushed.
I began eating in silence. I didn’t dare look up at him. It was then when I noticed the two tall blonde girls being escorted out of the house by two bodyguards. I pursed my lips. Of course, he couldn’t be loyal, even when I was back under his roof. He tilted his head, “Problem, Fallon?”
“No, just think you should make sure you wash your sheets and dick extra well.” He laughed, loud and obnoxiously.
“I will do what I want, Fallon, with who I want.” He said with hungry eyes. I rolled my eyes and continued eating. “Do not roll your eyes at me.” He yelled. I looked up and met his gaze.
I repeated, “I will do what I want, Maximo” and smirked. His must have really pissed him off because he slammed his fists on the table and threw his water glass against the wall, shattering it. The maid hurried in with a broom and quickly cleaned up the mess.
I had finished eating and ignored Maximo’s unnecessary rage. I pushed my chair out to leave, but Maximo had gotten up and walked around behind the chair, pulling it out and looking me directly in the eyes. “Submit to me, Fallon.”
“Maximo, I don’t know how to submit myself any further to you. I married you, I loved you, and I came back in the end. I want you in your child’s life.” This seemed to please him. He helped me up and turned me around so my back was to him. His ran his hand up my thigh, hip, to my stomach. He rubbed it for a minute before letting me go.
I turned around and faced him before leaving the room. “Maximo, just tell me what I need to do to fix this between us.” He waved me out of the room and the large bodyguard led me back to my room.
“This may not be my place, Fallon, but maybe you should reciprocate with Mr. Hernandez.”
“Reciprocate? Reciprocate what?”
“A sexual relationship.” The man answered quickly. “You don’t know what it was like when you were gone. Just give him what he wants, which is you.” I looked at the man in disbelief. Did he really just say what I think he did.
“You want me to fuck him so he’s nicer to everyone else?”
“Yes, but mainly so he doesn’t kill you.” He said, “By the way, my name is Joe, I will be your security detail from now on.” Then he closed the door behind me.
What the actual fuck.
I pondered Joe’s words. Could this actually work for me? Did I really want to enter another sexual relationship with Maximo after all he had done to me.
It was close to 8pm. I decided to go talk to Maximo. I put on a lacy bra and panties and pulled my robe over my body.
I opened the door and was please that Joe was not standing there and that the door was opened.
I walked down the corridor and stopped outside of Maximo’s room. I waited for a moment to see if I could hear anything before I knocked.
“What the fuck do you want?” I heard growled behind the door, so I opened it. Maximo sat in his chair in the corner with a lap full of papers. “Fallon.”
“Can we talk?” He nodded and motioned for me to sit on the bed. “Can we start our relationship again?” He stopped reading his papers and looked up at me.
“What the fuck do you mean?”
“Can we start over? Like date?”
“You want me to forget what you have done and restart our relationship?”
“No, I don’t think either of us should forget what the other has done to us, but instead make the most of this situation and provide a united front.”
“Provide a untied front?” He snorted. “Everyone knows you ran off, Fallon, it will look very stupid of me if I just let you back into the business.”
“I am carrying your heir, I think those who mocked you would be dealt with.” I cocked my head to the side. “Wouldn’t you say so, Maximo?”
“Are you trying to play on my emotions here, Fallon?”
“Oh, god no, Maximo, how could I ever, you have no feelings, only rage.” I smirked and he threw all of his papers on the floor, jumping out of the chair.
“I’ll show you rage!” He yelled. I crossed my legs and leaned back on the bed, using my arms to hold me up.
“Please do.” I smirked again. He didn’t know what to do. He was so used to getting his way with people. He knew I was trying to get a rise out of him.
“Get out, Fallon.” He said in disgust almost. So, I got up and started to walk of out the room.
“I was willing to try, for you, Maximo.” I said before leaving the room and heading back to my prison. I knew now I would be locked in. I entered my room and locked my door from my side. At least if he tried to enter, I would know.
I laid down without taking off any of my clothes and fell asleep.
