Chapter 9

"What is the meaning of all this Dawn?"

"Hmmm," Dawn lazily stretched on the bed. She had fallen asleep while reading the content of the contract, it was so detailed that she took her time reading it looking for loopholes but there was none.

Every plans of rejection came with grave consequences and she didn't know what the hell this grave consequences could be.

She turned with sleepy eyes staring at Olivia who was still dressed in her gown, her eyes looked teary. Was she crying before?

She was holding the card in her hand waving it.

Dawn jumped up at the sight of it and jerked the card away from her, she scanned the room immediately and thanked God she had hidden the contract under her bed, but she had been too sleepy she didn't bother with the card.

"What is going on? First you leave me alone in the club, and then this stupid invitation to a hotel."

"It's not what you think," Dawn muttered slowly cleaning the little sleep left in her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Then explain it to me, are you sleeping with Stephan? Was that why you came back here?" Olivia couldn't believe this nonsense.

"What?.. no.. of course not, like I said it's not what you think." How would she fly all the way looking like a mess just to hook up with Stephan. Olivia of all people should know her better. " We kind of met before, he is part of the reason I am here."

That didn't come out the way she wanted it to. She stared at Olivia who was fuming in rage.

"Stephan is mine, he is not up for grabs."

"You said what you had with him wasn't serious."

"So you are admitting to this nonsense."

"No, you are misunderstanding me." Dawn said sitting up straight on the bed.

"Explain it then to me then," Olivia barked

Dawn remembered that she couldn't share the content of the contract, it was stated there but this was her sister.

How was she going to put it to her that she was in a sexual contract with the man she was doting on?

Her silence was giving Olivia the wrong impression which she noticed.

"I don't have anything to do with Stephan okay, plus he is not a good person. I can't even believe you would be doting on that bastard. You are bigger than that"

"What?"

"You can't just trust him like that and open your legs to him. He is the one chasing after me and...."

Smack.

Olivia slapped her without remorse, how dare her call Stephan a bastard? and talk to her like that.

It was painful enough that back at the club Stephan had rejected her after banging her in the bathroom. He had taken her from behind so aggressively resisting any touch from her.

'Who was the lady you brought?'

He had asked her in between and Olivia had answered honestly thinking they were having a normal conversation but he had kept on talking about Dawn and wanting to know her.

How could he do that during such a intimate time?

He had just left the bathroom when he was done, not even saying a word to her.

She had washed up hurriedly and when she came back to the booth. Sarah informed her that Stephan and Matteo had gone home.

Dawn couldn't believe her sister slapped her right now. She couldn't remember the last time her sister laid her hands on her.

The impact of the slap was so hard, she nearly fell on the bed.

"You slapped me!" She sobbed.

"And I will do it again, do you really think I am going to buy your stupid story. I know you came here because of Stephan and for Stephan alone. The only thing was that you didn't know you would see him at the party."

"Oliv...."

"And you have the audacity to tell me I am opening my legs, are you now calling me a slut?"

"I didn't mean that Olivia, it came out the wrong way." Dawn didn't mean to insult her but for her to slap her because of Stephan.

She placed her hand to her face still feeling the sting from the slap.

"You..." Olivia gritted her teeth pointing her finger at her. She was so mad right now she didn't want to say more, she didn't know what she would do if she did.

She stared at Dawn and how terrified she looked right now holding her cheek.

She shouldn't have poured out all her annoyance on her.

"I...I..am..sorry." Olivia stuttered putting down her hand. "I am sorry, I didn't mean to... Its just the way it was, I mean with the sheer bra..." She sat on the bed beside Dawn. "Am sorry"

Dawn kept staring at her, she could hear the sincerity in her voice.

Olivia opened her arms for a hug and Dawn caved in. They hugged for some while sobbing slowly.

"Am sorry." Olivia said again as they let go of each other.

"It's not okay Olivia," Dawn replied, because really it wasn't. How could she slap her because of Stephan or was there more to it. "He isn't worth it."

"Then why are you sleeping with him." Olivia couldn't believe she was apologizing and Dawn was back to this nonsense or was she just trying to get rid of her.

No woman in their right sense would resist Stephan Klar. Apart from his wealth, he was a handsome man.

"I am not sleeping with him for goodness sake, we had a deal."

"What deal? Stephan doesn't make random deals."

Dawn sighed, she explained the whole incident that had happened over the week and the contract but she tried to twist the words in a way that she didn't get to mention that it was a sexual contract.

Olivia nodded at interval, listening closely to the details.

"So Matteo is aware of this?"

"Yes, where did you even meet Stephan?"

"You have to reject the contract."

"I can't."

"Can't or won't?"

"Look I don't want any part of this."

"That's what you have been saying, if truly you don't want any part of this then reject the stupid contract," Olivia said. She didn't know why Dawn was being stubborn about the whole situation.

"Fine, I will reject it," Dawn replied. She didn't want to keep upsetting Olivia by prolonging the discussion. It seemed the more they talked, the more Olivia got angry.

Dawn concluded that when Olivia was calmer, they would talk about it. Dating Stephan was totally something she wasn't planning on encouraging Olivia to do, not out of spite but for the fact that Stephan didn't look one bit like the serious type.

If Olivia was planning to fall in love for the first time, it wasn't going to be Stephan, and she would make sure of that.

"Good," Olivia was relieved to hear that. If Dawn rejected Stephan, she knew Stephan would be hurt and then she could use the opportunity to convince Stephan to take their friendship a step further.

"But, I don't know how to go about it, I don't want to get kidnapped again or get..."

"Leave it to me," Olivia interrupted her. She had a plan already, Dawn just had to play along and everything would be back to normal. Just her and Stephan.

"I still...."

"I don't want to hear it Dawn, you already said you don't want anything to do with Stephan."

It was a busy day in 'Klar', Stephan was exhausted from attending all the meetings, not that he participated by talking but their little talks annoyed him.

Talks about what was next for 'Klar' , since their designs were loosing it relevance, alongside news of the upcoming events and if people did attend it.

He knew this was all Jerome Grey's handwork, he was waiting patiently, allowing Jerome think he had the higher ground.

He went through the files on his table, he noticed the hotel card.

Dawn Hemlocks.

He loosened the tie on his neck and leaned into his chair lost in thought.

He knew there was more to her baggy clothes, but what he saw last night was just wow...

The way the cloth hug to her body, her tits, her butt, he couldn't get his eyes off her. The image still remain stuck on his head, and that her lips. He couldn't resist his desires.

For the first time he wanted to kiss her, he wanted to rip that cloth off her body, to see her naked body.

Stephan still couldn't believe that Olivia was Dawn's sister, how could an ugly duckling be Dawn's sister? She had been all over him, not even concerned about the fact that her sister just ran away.

Women!

He was disgusted by women who craved his attention in such a possessive manner.

He wasn't going to resist the attention thou, I mean she was also a hot cake. He had taken her to the bathroom, bent her over and given her what she wanted.

Then Sarah had called him to inform him that she wasn't pleased by them leaving her friend behind.

Vibrate!

He stared at his phone on the table, a call from Matteo. He picked it and placed it on loud speaker.

He remembered he had invited Dawn to the hotel. He knew she did never turn up after the little package he sent her, and even if she did , she did be fuming in rage, but now that Matteo was calling him.

Did she actually show up at the hotel to see him?

"You better get your crazy ass right to the penthouse this minute," Matteo yelled over the phone. "Am not gonna keep babysitting two women."

Two women!

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"The crazy pyscho, Olivia."

What? Why was Olivia at the hotel? Did Dawn inform her about the contract?

"The receptionist called to report that some lady is trying to get into your pent house and just slapped one of the bodyguard for denying her entry," Matteo explained and heard Stephan burst into laughter. "You better go handle the situation, I am in the middle of a meeting and don't have time for nonsense."

Matteo disconnected the line as Stephan logged into his laptop, he typed in some code as surveillance of the hotel lobby came up.

He could see Olivia pacing around and fuming at the bodyguard. He zoomed in but couldn't find Dawn anywhere, he wondered where she was at the moment. Probably she was at home but why was Olivia here instead of her?

He dialed the receptionist number, placing it on loud speaker.

"Hand the phone to her," he ordered sternly.

"Yes Sir," the receptionist replied. He could see her yelling at Olivia on the surveillance camera to come to the phone.

"My love."

Love?

"What do you want Olivia?"

"I came to see you, but they won't let me in. They said you are at work."

"And that is why you had the audacity to slap one of my men."

"Am sorry, I didn't mean to. He was refusing to let me in. You really need to tell this people who I am."

"I am busy at work and the last thing I need is this."

"Am sorry my love, I didn't mean to upset you." She sobbed over the phone. " It's just the way you were yesterday, I thought maybe I offended you."

"How long have you been there?"

"30 minutes."

"Alright, wait for me."

"Really," he could see her smiling on the surveillance.

"When will you be here?"

" I told you to wait for me, and you are still questioning me."

"Am sorry, I will wait for you."

He disconnected the call. Still watching the surveillance, he saw her telling the secretary something. He assumed she was warning her as she went back to sit in the lobby.

Wait for me dear even if it's till tomorrow.
