"I expected to hear your about your engagement to Kaden in the news last week." Albert told Skylar who was kneeling down,wearing nothing, with her hands tied behind her.

"Kaden said he would announce it during my party." Skylar replied.

"He didn't even attend it,did he?" Albert walked around her with a riding crop in his hand.

"No."

Albert hit her back with the crop. "No what?"

Skylar gasped. "No,sir." Tears filled her eyes.

"Better." He stopped in front of her. "I need to bring Mckade down. And what is this news I hear about 'Cinderella from downtown and Playboy billionaire from uptown?'"

"I am already working on it."

Another strike.

"Working on it?" Albert strikes her lap with the crop. "I told you to ensure that son-of-a-bitch and all I'm getting is you are working on it?"

"Albert--" Skylar whimpered when her strikes her again. "Sir,I promise to get him for you."

"I give you three weeks Submissive." He threw the crop aside and pulled her up until she was standing before him." I give you three weeks to make him marry you."

"Yes,sir." Tears rolled down her face.

"Aww baby,don't cry." Albert kissed her tears away." I'm sorry for hitting you. It's just that you make me so mad at times."

Skylar let him hug her to his chest. Her mind was filled with hatred towards him, Kaden and that blonde Cinderella from downtown.

She swore to get revenge on everyone of them.

Starting from Cinderella.

Cassie signed on the small note pad and collected the large box from the delivery man. After thanking him,she walked back inside the flower shop.

It's been three hours since William left and there was no sign of Josie who said she'd be coming in five minutes. And no customer either.

So it's was a blessed distraction when the delivery man finally knocked on the door to give her the large box package from an anonymous sender.

Cassie could only think of one person who would send her a gift to surprise her. So with a smile on her face,she set the box on the plastic table before attacking the wrapper. She opened the lid and set it aside.

"Wow." She breathed when she saw what was inside the box. Three things were inside the box.

A laptop with the Mckade eagle head logo on it, an Infinix hot-x, and finally a white office file. Since there was no note inside the box,she took the office file and opened the first page.

The smile on her face dissolved when she saw, 'THE CONTRACT' written on the first page.

Where had she seen this before?

She opened the next page and what she saw made her face turn red with anger.

A five year contract between Kaden Mckade, CEO of Golden Homes & Cassandra Milton(manwhore fan), owner of Milton's flower shop.

Cassie snapped the file close,then replaced it in the box.

Kaden Mckade had chosen the wrong person to tango with.

Kaden turned his swivel chair around and smiled when the door opened to reveal Cassie,who looked like a vengeful goddess about to go to war.

He got up from his chair when she banged the box on the large black polished desk. Her deep blue eyes shot daggers at him.

If looks could kill...

"What's the meaning of this?" She opened the box and withdrew the office file.

"I've been expecting you."

Cassie was taken aback by his words. He had been expecting her? What did he mean by that?

"Expecting me?"

"Yes. And I think you need to sit down," he sat down on his high leather swivel chair. He smirked when she didn't sit down. "Trust me,you'll need it."

"I prefer to stand,thank you." she banged the office file on the table. "And I repeat my question, What is the meaning of this?"

"what is the meaning of what?" His expression changed into an innocent one.

"Don't act all innocent with me." Cassie growled. "I want to know the reason why you think I'd work for you for five years."

"Have you browsed through the contract?"

"No. I see no reason why I should when I clearly won't take the job." She pointed to the box. "I don't want that too. And by the way I thought you deal in estate only. When did you start making laptops?"

"My older brother is the gadgets genius. So I simply got it from him." Kaden drummed his fingers on the desk. "And you will be taking it."

"You can't force me."

"I won't have to Cassie."

"It's  Miss Milton to you." Cassie sighed in exasperation. "And what do you mean by that statement?"

"Check the last page of the file."

Cassie threw him a dirty look before picking the office file. She flipped to the last page and did a double take,when she saw her signature at the end of the page.

Her knees went weak all of a sudden. She sank,not so gracefully,into the chair he had offered her earlier.

How is this possible? She did not even remember signing anything that had contract written on it.

"You forged my signature,didn't you?"

"And why would I want to do that when I have many ways to make you do so?" He snorted. "You signed yourself."

Cassie tried to remember who or where she signed for this week. She didn't sign any papers for anyone except.... Realisation finally dawned on her.

"Josie." She whispered to herself.

Now she clearly remembered that contract she signed for Josie without going through it. And to think that Josie pleaded and almost cried for her to sign on it. Cassie would have gone through it if not for the fact that Ella had said she was about to leave just when she was about to open the next page. Cassie gasped. her hand flew to her mouth as she put two and two together.

Ella deceived and betrayed her as well as Josie.

And to think that Josie had been working for Kaden all along while pretending to be her friend at the same time. Cassie,a fool that she is, played right into their hands.

"Josie works for you,right?" Cassie glared at him.

"Who is Josie?" Kaden frowned in confusion. "Am I supposed to know her?"

That bastard had the grace to look confused?

"Oh please,spare me the pretense. I know for a fact that she was the only one who made me sign for her which I did,under the impression that she applied for job and yada!,yada!! Yada!!!"

"I don't know anyone who goes by the name Josie."

"How then did you get a hold of the contract?" Cassie pushed the chair back as she surged to her feet.

"I suggest that you go home and read the contract." Kaden got up too,he walked around the table and he stopped before her." If you don't adhere to the contract rule,I'll have my lawyer file a case and you know how ugly that would be. And don't even think about tearing it,I've got ten more copies."

"Ten copies?" She stared at him as if he was mad. "Are you searching for a lost archeologist for you to print ten copies? Do you even have any idea of much much ink and paper is?"

"Whatever I do with my paper and ink is my business not yours." He moved closer to her.

Cassie didn't back down. The last thing she wanted him to think is that he intimidated her. She would not give him that satisfaction.

"If you are done crowding my space,you can step aside." She said offhandedly.

"You are not afraid of me?"

"Should I be?" By now his breath was fanning her face.

Cassie moved back only to find herself trapped between the desk and his body. She swallowed.

Wrong choice of words.

"You're really not afraid?" His eyes had gone a bit darker and he placed one hand on the small of her back, then he pulled her closer so her chest pressed against his.

Cassie gulped. "N-no." Red stained her cheeks." Why should I be?"

Wrong choice of words. A-fucking-gain.

"Because of this."

His lips captured hers in an earthquaking kiss.

Cassie's whole body felt as if it had been torched. Every hormone in her body was suddenly awake and was pushing into overdrive. A very sensible part of her brain warned her to push him away from her and she listened.

Her hands grabbed the lapel of his suit jacket and...wait,why was she pulling him closer instead of pushing him away? And why was she kissing him like some sex starved hussy?

This is so wrong. This is so fifty-shades like wrong. This shouldn't be happening.

But it was happening and she couldn't stop it.

Kaden reached behind her to push the box aside,it was only when he was sure that the desk was free did he lift her up and place her on the desk. Kaden smiled inwardly when he saw that she was wearing a flared skirt,which allowed him to step between her legs.

His fingers went to work. He unbuttoned her shirt and was about to unclasp the hook of her bra when fate decide to play a joy-killer at the moment.

The office door flew open and Skylar walked in with a panicked Amelia right in her step when she took in the sight before her.

"How dare you!"
