C4 CHAPTER FOUR

**Annabelle**

I was in a very ironic situation. For starters, I had gotten all dolled and dressed up for a guy who didn’t even remember me. If that wasn’t enough, he wanted to hire me after our history together. I feigned confusion and he smiled. You know what? He had to be one very sick psycho if he thought for even one second I’ll pretend to be his girlfriend.

"Ava cleared her throat sensing the tension between us." This was more than tension. She didn’t understand why I couldn’t do it. She thought she just did me a favour but instead, she made it so much worse.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" I tried not to clench my teeth in fury. She nodded. We left Fallon to another part of the building.

"What are you doing? Firs, t you don’t want my money, I get you someone who will pay you extremely well and you won’t want have to sleep with him" I gulped at the tempting offer. Being closer to Fallon again is something I cannot afford.

"I don’t feel good about him." I shrugged and she glared hard.

"Annabelle, that guy in there will pay you a hundred thousand dollars every week for as long as it’s needed. All you have to do is pretend. Why did you give him a fake alias?" She asked, her lips twitched as she tried to figure it out.

"As I said, I don’t trust him. I don’t want him knowing my real name." I responded, she looked unconvinced.

"Annabelle, we’ve been friends for a while, first you act all weird when I mention him, then you give him a fake name and finally you don’t want to take this job when it’s perfect."

She exaggerated her words but raising her tone.

"Maybe that’s it, no job can be too perfect, and who knows if he wants something more?" That seemed to distract her. She reached out and held my arm.

"You know I would never put you in any real damage, it’s either this or you have to accept my money." She threatened and I scoffed. I battled internally. If I did this, I’ll have a chance to get close to him and make him pay. I’ll be getting paid at the same time. But what if he finds out who I am? I’ll just have to be careful, that’s the only thing I can do.

"Alright." I agreed and she beamed. We walked back and Fallon was in the same position as we left him.

"So, what do you say?" He sounded so formal.

"When do I start?" I responded in a hard tone.

"Come to my office tomorrow so we can finalize everything." He handed me his business card, I gasped because it was located close to the building I wanted to acquire.

"I’ll be there," I responded, he stretched out his arm, I took it giving it a firm shake. I tried to disengage but he let his linger for a second before finally letting go.

"Well ladies, enjoy the party." He offered one of his dashing smiles and walked away.

"He’s so cute……" She trailed off dreamily and I almost puked.

"Yup, he is…." I raised my brows but my voice was dripping with sarcasm.

"Let’s party!" She giggled and we walked in, she was pumped with excitement but my mind was preoccupied with other things.

~~THE NEXT DAY~~

After taking my bath, I held my towel on my chest and picked out my outfit. I went with a simple black skirt and a white blouse added with some black pumps. I got dressed and checked the time, it was just two pm and I decided to go see him so we can get everything over with.

I boarded a taxi with my bag on my arm, on my way to his company. On getting there, I was directed to his secretary.

"Am here to see Fallon Mitch, he’s aware I’m here." She offered a professional smile before checking her computer.

"You’re…." She trailed off waiting for me to tell say my name."

"Isabelle Jeremy." I gulped as she checked her computer.

"Mr Fallon was expecting you earlier. You didn’t show up so he went to his penthouse. However, he left a driver to take you there." She beckoned on someone and a middle-aged man showed up. I gave a nervous chuckle having him lead the way. I felt a little insecure that I was going to his house; I started this journey so I might as well get it over with.

I got into the car and he got into the driver’s seat, igniting the engine before driving off. We arrived there half an hour later and he pulled over.

"We’re here." He announced stopping the car.

I stepped down waiting for him to lead the way.

"Take the elevator, first room to your left." He said in a cold tone. I sighed when I realized he wasn't coming with me. Nevertheless, I took a deep breath and followed his directions. I got to the door and twisted the knob. My eyes popped out as I watched Fallon engage in hot steamy sex with some girl. It was like a live-action porn video, he plunged his member into her relentless, beads of sweat rolled down his body. I heard her screamed, begging him not to stop and he raised her legs and increased his pace.

"Fallon…." She moaned, I cringed my nose unable to take my eyes off them. I heard his grunt and I knew he was close. Seconds later, he fell on the bed and they lay side by side. She was the first to notice my presence, I gulped and she screamed. Fallon finally noticed I was standing there, I was transfigured, I couldn’t move. What did I get myself into!
