Dominic Knight walk out of the party, rather than get into the black car parked in front of him, he bring out a cigarette and light it up.
As he is about to take a smoke, he sense her luscious scent as she appear behind him, a scent that reminiscent of warm honey, dripping with golden goodness and drop the cigarette.
"Let's go" his stoic voice said, not glancing at her and he enter into the car.
Bellamy, his secretary, nod her head and get into the front seat while the car drives out. Silence fall upon the car as they head to his penthouse.
"The Barrett sign the contract" Bellamy inform as her phone chimes.
Dominic nod his head plainly, a distant look in his unfeeling eyes. He rest his fingers on his temple trying not to lose it as her scent seem strong today than usual.
Three years of working with her, he has learn to suppress it after finding out it's not some tactic of hers to seduce him like others before her.
He was baffled at how a human could have such strong intoxicating scent but he has gotten used to it. However, this night, he feel a bit sensitive.
The car stop and Bellamy did not hesitate to unbuckle to get out but his voice stop her and she turn back to meet his gaze. He orders the driver out of the car and Belle feel a bit perplexed wondering what he is about to say to her.
"I have a deal for you" he said.
For thirty years of his life, she is the only woman he has been able to tolerate this long which makes her perfect for the job.
'What is it Sir?" Bellamy asked, holding her breathe as she waits.
"I need you to bear my child" he said, his eyes keeping her under survey.
Bellamy stare at him dumbstruck and eyes widen at him."What?" She let out after minutes not sure she heard that right.
Dominic keep his gaze on her unwavering, perhaps he should explain better seeing how shock she is.
"For five million dollars" he adds and Bellamy gulped down anxiously, seeing he is not kidding.
"I'm sorry Mr. Knight but I can't" she let out, hoping he won't be upset.
"I am getting married tomorrow" she reveal and a bit of a frown appear on his forehead but disappears quickly.
His eyes look restrain at her not sure if he should believe that, he has been working her to her bone for the past three years.
How on earth did she have the time to date? His eyes dash to her fingers and he sees a ring.
"You can go" he said dismissively and Bellamy did not hesitate, the car drives away as she glance at it still trying to process what on earth just happened.
".... bear my child..."
The words of her Boss chimes into her head again and Bellamy shudder feeling a rush of smoldering shiver.
She try to shake her mind off of it and focus on walking down the aisle not minding the rumbling sound in her stomach. Her cell phone chimes from her purse and she walk away from the mirror she has been standing for five minutes now to grab it.
As Belle slid it open, different pictures of her soon-to-be husband, Gabriel and Sophia, her cousin flows in all sorts of disgusting poses.
She is head blank for few seconds but recover and pull the veil down her head and proceed inside the hall where many guests are seated waiting for the bride.
Bellamy drag her dress as she walk down the aisle without a veil or bouquet looking fierce as she approach her groom, Gabriel Thompson frowns deeply seeing her approach in such manner. He approach her quickly wondering what she is doing.
"This wedding is off"
Belle spurt with a resolute tone and pull out the oversize ring that Gabriel has given to engage her without wasting a second, thrusting it at him.
Color drains from Gabriel's face as the ring hits his chest, he glare angrily at Bellamy not because she has just ended their relationship but because she has embarrassed him in front of so many people.
