Emma stood up when the door opened, her worst nightmare was here, it was time to embrace her fate, but she was left stupefied when she saw the person that entered was a young handsome man.
His square-shaped face made him look like an action actor in blockbuster movies. His muscles were well refined and they perfectly outlined his shape. Emma's throat was suddenly dry. He was beautiful no doubt. She could already see herself doing some nasty things with him.
Emma froze as she stared at Zane, however she noticed he wasn't looking at her directly in the eyes, his eyes were somewhere, only then did Emma remember what she was putting on. She was completely exposed!
Emma's heart skipped twice, she had no idea the man was looking at her body, with full concentration!
She quickly covered her chest with her hand, but it only revealed more of her lower body. Emma didn't know what to do, she wished she had put on something else.
Didn't the maid say this was Mr Connor room, why was this young man here, or could this be Mr Connor son.
They didn't look alike, but they could be relatives.
Emma finally summoned the courage to voice out. She stammered.
"Your father..... I mean Mr Connor.... I think I am in the wrong room."
Emma didn't know what to say, she couldn't bear the humiliation anymore so she ran to the doorway. Her breast was juggling as she made her way to the door and she noticed the man's eyes were on them.
She ran past Zane and wanted to make it to the door when Zane cleared his throat. It felt like the walls vibrated when he did, and Emma halted like a car behind him.
"Where do you think you are going."
Emma stammered.
"The... The... other room.... to..."
Zane cuts Emma off.
"I am the master of this place. Mr Connor is one of my servant here."
Emma heart misses a beat when she heard that, she couldn't believe this young man was the boss of Mr Connor. How could this be possible, and to think a young man like this was involved with ruffians and crimes, which never ends well was pitiful.
Zane turned to face Emma, this time his eyes were not on her bosom, he was looking directly into her eyes, with a serious, yet poker expression.
"I suppose you know you have been used as collateral for the money your family own, be it was your step family or not, but you have been used as collateral!"
Zane folded his hands across his chest and continued.
"How do you plan to pay back the ten million dollars."
Emma was surprised to hear this, so she could pay the money without being forced into selling her body. She immediately gained her voice back.
"I will pay. I have a shop downtown and it fetches me $30,000 monthly. I will give you everything until I pay completely"
Zane's expression darkened when he heard that. He roared.
"Nonsense!"
This vibrated Emma's entire body. Zane continued with a deep voice.
"$30,000 monthly, that would take you approximately thirty years to provide the money completely. Who knows what would happen before then, incomes are not static, something bad could happen and you would lose everything."
Zane's expression darkened as he completely threw Emma's suggestion into the waste bin.
"Do you think I would wait for thirty years just so you could pay me ten million dollars."
Emma was lost completely, she was stunned by Zane's fast calculations, she said the words, but she didn't do any calculation on how long it would take, regardless of that, it was the only thing she got.
"I could turn this around and earn a higher monthly income. Something good could happen, you never can tell."
It didn't matter how long it would take, as long as she doesn't get to sell her body to fork out the money, she would be thankful, and she was confident that she could earn higher, now that she needed to make money, she would naturally put more effort in the sales of her bookshop.
Emma's words made Zane had a enough of it.
"Nonsense!"
He sounded again, this time it was evident that he was angry, and his voice somehow shook the surroundings.
Emma stepped backwards in fear, it seemed there was no escape for her after all.
She continued to step backwards until her back hit the wall close to the door.
Her bosom raised up in a sexy manner, she was exposed completely. Her heart was racing seeing her back hit a wall, and Zane's eyes were on her.
'What is going to happen to me now, although he looks handsome, I don't want to sell my body off'
Emma wanted to plead once more, but Zane took one step forward to her which seized the words she was about to say.
Zane approached Emma and stopped inches away from her. His voice was almost like a whisper.
"I don't gamble with my assets."
He moved his face closer to Emma's face, Emma was swallowing deeply now, she couldn't stand his face. Her breath was vibrating heavily which was making her bosom go up and down, but Zane eyes weren't on them. He was looking straight into her eyes.
"Marry me."
He whispered in her ears.
