Scott’s POVMy eyes are fixed on Vincenzo and Christina as I watch how well they converse like they’ve known each other forever. She does it with such ease that it leaves me wondering if I’d misjudged her in the past, regarding the case of her relations with her personal guard, Dexter, and my step-brother, Marvin. Watching her with my grandfather has made me realize she’s a natural when it comes to effortlessly relating with people. It is more like an inborn skill but it seems she lacks it when it comes to me.I nodded my head at something Vincenzo directed at me in the course of their conversation but I paid no mind to what he actually said. Thoughts of my strained relationship with Christina were all I could think about. She’s never been as kind to me with words as she’s been with others. Whenever she had to address me, there was always an air of hostility about her that kept me at bay. Although it seemed to have toned down a bit since our visit to Vincenzo, I wasn’t a fool. I under

Christina’s POV“I’m sorry I made you feel that way,” His eyes burrowed into mine as he said the words and I could see the sincerity in them. Deep down, I truly wished he was being genuine this time. He reached for my palm that was resting on the bench and covered it with his. “I’m willing to work on myself to make things work, if you can give me another chance,”“This would be the last,” I tried to sound stern just to get him to understand and see that I wasn’t playing around.“Thank you, my lady,” He mimicked a slight bow and a smile slipped onto my face.Since our arrival, I’m beginning to see that he had a wholesome personality when he wasn’t being an asshole. So yes, maybe we could make things work and I had a good feeling about this one.“Wanna see something else?” a wry grin stretched his lips, and I narrowed my eyes at him, wondering what else there is to see in this property. It seemed we were already at the end and it definitely couldn’t get bigger than this, could it? He r

Christina’s POVI woke up to a strong arm wrapped around my waist and the heat of his warm body sipping into mine. At first, I felt a bit lost until all the previous night's events began flooding into my head and I realized what I’d done. I’d given in to my desires at long last. I’d given myself to him just like he’d predicted and I’d done it without caution. I’d willingly let him plant his seed in me.With so many thoughts crowding my head all at the same time, all I wanted was to bolt out of bed and be far away from him. I needed to handle this. I had no idea what to do. Was this even in the plans? I allowed pleasure to blur the lines between what I truly wanted, my plans to escape, and giving into this sick plan of his with my father. My heart squeezed painfully at the thoughts of giving up and playing into this sick fantasy.What was wrong with me?I was only meant to put up an act for the weekend and I let him get the best of me. Now he’d be able to mock me with it. Bile rose in

Christina’s POVTen minutes earlierI stepped out of the stall, ready to head back to the party, despite my nerves still reeling from the embarrassment of the little show Scott and I had unintentionally put on for the audience. A wry smile crossed my face as I stared at the mirror while washing my hands. My makeup was still in place and so was my hair. I playfully winked at myself and turned away, ready to head back but before I could take a step, soft moans of pleasure sailed into my ears and I was frozen in place.I stood there, silently hoping I’d heard wrong but then they came again, this time a bit louder, followed by a throaty moan. My head instantly whipped in the direction they were coming from, the first stall. It was five stalls away from where I was but that didn’t stop their moans from reaching me. I couldn’t help the giggle that slipped out of my lips but I quickly slapped a palm over my mouth to not alert them of my presence.It felt like I was in high school all over ag
