Chapter 3 Isn't She Too Young?
- A young chestnut-haired girl with curious blue eyes entered through the doors of Lorraine Esthetique to take the required exams that her "Sugar Daddy" had demanded. She didn't know if she should call him that, it still sounded wrong to her, no matter how she looked at it.
- “I'm Noelia Richards, I come on behalf of Mr...” Before she could finish the sentence, the receptionist interrupted her and didn't let her continue speaking.
- “We were expecting you, Miss Richards, please go to consultation room three.”
- With just one sentence, everything became real, curiosity gave way to the fear of doing the right thing. The image of her mother every night trying to balance the accounts without finding any solution was all she needed, that and clenching her fists to gather courage before taking the first step.
- She was barely aware of the people bumping into her as she walked on autopilot until she reached door three, and just as she hesitated, pretending to leave, the door to the consultation room opened.
- “Please come in.”
- “I think... I got lost.”
- "No, you're right in consultation room three, Miss Richards. Please come in."
- "Whatever is going to happen, happens." She thought as she entered and felt that by closing the door, she was leaving her past behind. From that moment on, everything would be different, she would be different, especially because she felt like she was selling not only her body but also her soul to the devil - a devil with blond hair, gray eyes, and an irresistible French accent.
- The doctor observed her hesitantly from head to toe and then smiled kindly, perhaps in an attempt to make the sight easier for her.
- "I need you to undress from the waist down and lie down on the examination table... I need to check your..." Even for the doctor, it seemed somewhat humiliating to have to verify the girl's virginity.
- "Well, you know what I need to check, that and to make sure you don't have any infections or diseases." He explained, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with the situation. Undoubtedly, Noelia wasn't the first girl he had examined or monitored due to Mr. Lorraine's whims, but she was the first one who was a virgin and seemed confused, even a little scared to be there.
- "Have you been to a gynecological consultation before, Miss Richards?" The doctor asked.
- It wasn't Noelia's first visit to a gynecologist, but it was the first time they were going to check if she was a virgin. She found it somewhat embarrassing to have an exam to prove that she was a virgin. Goodness! It was already the 21st century, although it was also true that the man was paying a large sum of money for it, and even though she hated that someone doubted her word, it was also true that he didn't know anything about her.
- "Yes, my mother took me right after my first period, and I've been going periodically every year for check-ups. Although my gynecologist told me it's not necessary since, well, I haven't had sexual intercourse until now," Noelia replied.
- "I understand. Now try to relax, please." The doctor requested, covering her with a sheet to make her feel less exposed and helping her position one leg in each stirrup. Then she sat on a stool and proceeded to examine between her legs.
- "Hymen intact." The doctor announced the result briefly while thinking to himself, "Poor girl. Did she know what she was getting herself into, and especially with whom?"
- Noelia was very embarrassed, too embarrassed to say anything. She simply nodded in agreement with everything the gynecologist said.
- She didn't want to be there; having her legs open like this was too much. But she needed the money. Having that money would make things easier for her and her mother. Especially her mother.
- "I..." Noelia nervously uttered.
- "You can get dressed now, beautiful." He said.
- He waited for the girl to finish and sit down in front of him before he continued speaking.
- "Now the nurse will take a blood sample and give you a contraceptive injection that will be effective for the next three months. After that time, you will have to administer it again, but since we will be seeing each other every month, I will remind you myself."
- Noelia nodded again as if she were an automaton.
- Once the man left, she allowed herself to cry a little, although it was only a couple of tears, before she had to wipe them from her face and smile at the nurse, who approached her with a kind and embarrassed expression.
- How many women had they already attended to like her? Was that why they looked at her with pity?
- In An Office
- Despite being a French nobleman, Marius enjoyed spending long periods of time in New York. He would usually spend half of the year in the old continent and the other half in America. That was one of the reasons why he sought a new girl every time he returned, someone to live with during the six months he would stay in the city. He didn't have time to waste pretending interested in several girls until he found someone he liked as much as she liked him. He would go on dates and before he knew it, he would have to return to his country, losing contact and starting over.
- Another reason why he liked to pay for companionship was that nobody knew him there. Perhaps some of the beautiful models and actresses he had operated on were famous and had a certain reputation among the elite for his excellent work as a surgeon. But undoubtedly, he was not a public figure and could move around with young and beautiful girls without appearing in any gossip press. There, he didn't have the shadow of his last name, nor did his mother remind him that he had a title to honor as if his last name hadn't been tarnished enough by his ancestors.
- "Sir, your lawyer is waiting for you," his thoughts were interrupted by the voice of Angelica, his secretary, who spoke to him through the intercom on his desk.
- "Let him in."
- A couple of minutes later, the door to his office opened and Matthew Philips, his lawyer, entered to bring the documents he had urgently requested that same morning in his office.
- "Review the contract in case I missed something." Marius requested a man with black hair and eyes of the same dark tone. The lawyer may have seemed too serious, but he was the best at his job and, over the years, had also become a good advisor and friend.
- Matthew placed a black folder in front of him and sat patiently in the armchair, waiting for his approval. The Frenchman skipped the first few pages where there was only pure bureaucracy to read the part that interested him, the terms and clauses.
- It was clearly specified that the contract was for six months and the young woman would have to live with him, being able to spend one night away from his company per week with prior notice. The contract could be restricted to a two-week trial period without any obligation or penalty for the girl, and he would have to pay $50,000 for her studies.
- In addition, she would have an expense account for the entire time she stayed by his side, linked to a credit card that she could use to pay for clothes, grooming services like hair salons and nails, or any expense related to her image, food, and various whims.
- It was also specified that at the moment he took her virginity, he would be granted $400,000 and something that had not been agreed upon with her but seemed fair to her, an additional $50,000 for each month she stayed by his side, as well as several unspecified unexpected benefits. She had to give a 15-day notice if she intended to leave him, otherwise she would be penalized with returning the $50,000 she would have received for the last month.
- In return, she committed to being reachable for him when she didn't have class and to respond to his call as quickly as possible. She could have a full day off per week or more if required for final exams, study reasons, or in case she fell ill.
- She also agreed not to disclose anything that happened between them and to keep their business relationship a secret, risking having to return double everything discussed until the end of the contract.
- The last clause made it clear that after the 2-week trial period, any condition could be changed or modified to the convenience and mutual agreement of both parties.
- Then there was an extensive list of toys and sexual practices that she had to accept or reject, some of which added an additional amount to the specified monthly payment and would be deducted if rejected. There was an exclusivity clause in which the contract would be terminated if she had sexual relations with another man, and finally, the specification of the necessary medical check-ups every month at a center chosen by the contractor.
- Marius smiled as he confirmed, “Perfect,” Marius said.
- “It couldn't be otherwise,” Matthew assured, then looked at Marius hesitantly as if he didn't know whether to say what was on his mind. “Isn't she too young this time? She's almost a child, she's not even old enough to drink in this country.” Matthew finally spilled out his concern.
- "DING", Marius' phone lighted with a notification.
- The gynecologist had just sent the report, warning him of the girl's tightness and the importance of preparing her fully for the first time.
- The Frenchman looked up to observe his lawyer with a simple smile, "I would have her anyway."
