Chapter 8 – Vivian Stone
Jonathan had only ever had Lil in his mind and heart.
He never had any girlfriends or scandals, but even so, girls would find their way into his hotel rooms or his associates would send him ‘gifts’.
He had dealt with all of them harshly. But, they never stopped.
It was four years ago, he was in a business meeting when he met Vivian Stone.
He realized he had been drugged and locked himself in his hotel room.
But unfortunately, whoever had schemed against him that time had been prepared.
He was locked inside, the landline had been cut, his cell phone had no reception, there was no WIFI, and worst of all, there was no water in the bathroom.
He had thought he would die or get some serious mental deficiency other than kidney deficiency that day.
It was then a male voice had knocked on the door. It had sounded very much like his assistant and he had confirmed it.
When he was sure, he asked him to open the door using the master key that the hotel managers keep and take him to the hospital.
But when the doors were opened, it was Vivian Stone who had stepped in before locking it again.
She had come wearing lace lingerie which did not leave anything for imagination. Jonathan had been repulsed by the sight though the discomfort on his body was growing.
She had proposed a deal – she would be his on-call girlfriend, and get rid of all females around him. While he would support her family business and admit to the rumors regarding two of them.
He hated being coerced and had told her to fuck off.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
But she had sat by silently waiting for the drugs to override his rationale.
The last thing he remembered was passing out after hitting his head in the wall.
When he woke up again, he was naked in the bed with Vivian Stone. And there were reporters taking pictures.
The so-called agreement had his thumbprint.
He had left the phone recorder on ever since someone knocked at the door. But in the morning his phone was in pieces. He had no evidence to refute the rumors in a way that would not harm him or Smith Group.
He had fed her emergency contraceptives and left. She had, however, toed the line since then. So, he did not pursue the matter immediately.
He never slept with her or took her anywhere, but he never denied the rumors of Vivian being his girlfriend.
At least the flies that buzzed around him had stopped.
Since that incident, he had kept a habit of keeping some anti-dote on him whenever he went to social gatherings.
Jonathan was a vindictive person and he was never going to let Vivian off the hook. He had just delayed it as it served its means.
Now, it seemed the time had come for him to get even with her.
