Chapter 7

• Chapter 7. An imminent fear
• Madison Point of View
• It was the first night in Maximilian's mansion, I was having a hard time falling asleep, all the eccentricity of the place, the loneliness, but above all the idea of a marriage contract with him was giving me chills.
• He was a stranger to me, I had seen him only a couple of times, and because of the immense desires for revenge against my ex-fiancé, I was about to commit something crazy, I have no idea who Maximilian is, if he is a good man, if he is a real businessman as he says, or if he is a serial killer.
• The only thing I can admit is that the man is too handsome, his presence is spectacular, and his intriguing personality is breaking me to the bone.
• I left the large room that I had been assigned to live, everything in the mansion was in complete darkness, I did not know where the light switches were located, I turned on the flashlight of my phone and with all the fear of the situation, I began to slowly go down the stairs, it was impressive how cold I felt and I was only dressed in small pajamas, a Bermuda shorts that barely covered my buttocks, and a top, who could think of it?
• I arrived at the living room and wanting to drink a glass of water, I went to the kitchen, I felt dread, it was as if the paintings in Maximilian's living room took on a life of their own and looked at me.
• I went through the kitchen door, and the same situation: Where was the stupid light switch? However, with the little clarity that my phone gave me, I was able to pour the glass of water and left quickly, but I felt that my heart froze, when suddenly a shadow in the middle of the darkness headed towards me, emanating a smell between musk and rum.
• "Shit!" I screamed terrified, dropping the glass on the floor, I started running in the middle of the darkness, trying to find a shelter, but some large and icy hands, but at the same time soft, caught me, I felt that my heart was going to jump out of my chest, I began to struggle and cry, thinking that I was in danger.
• "Help please!" Let go of me! Don't do anything to me! "Tears began to come out of my eyes, at that moment I thought it was my end, suddenly my hands let go and gave two applause, the light came on and I quickly ran out to seek shelter, but a voice already familiar stopped me.
• "Madison: Madison, it's me, Maximilian!" Hold on
• I felt a lot of mixed feelings, it was normal that I had been scared that way, I was in an unknown house, with an unknown man, what could I expect?
• "You scared me," I screamed in the middle of my crying, but the man remained silent with his gaze fixed right on my chest, I could notice how his cheeks blushed, I lowered my gaze to know what was bothering him and my surprise came when I realized that I had the top pulled down and my breasts, They were naked in the air.
• I pulled up my blouse quickly and looked at him with contempt.
• "Were you looking at me?" Maximilian please!
• The man immediately covered his face and with all the embarrassment of the situation shook his head.
• "Madison excuse me, I feel very embarrassed with you, really, I didn't want to bother you, I didn't want to scare you, much less see you, eh see your s... " he stuttered — but it was a simple reflex when I saw you running away, besides, what were you doing in the dark? An accident could have happened.
• "Well, because I don't know how to turn on the lights in this house, you only left me here for your employee to give me instructions, but she only gave me the keys to this room and left, I was left alone.
• "Yes, Dennis doesn't always stay, I can't keep her here," he replied without giving much importance to what happened before, he was drunk, I could feel it, because from his mouth, only a horrible smell of alcohol came out, and that scared me, I didn't want to face the drunkenness of a man and much less that I didn't know.
• "I'm reconsidering the contract," I replied without further ado, crossing my arms over my body to cover my breasts.
• "What?" But if you've already signed it, Madison, is it because of what I just saw? Look, excuse me, it was a mistake, I didn't want to bother you and much less look like I was who knows what kind of pervert, that doesn't happen again, besides, I didn't know that was going to happen please.
• I was not at all bothered that he had seen me, for a strange reason, something in the middle of my legs dilated a little when I saw his penetrating gaze pierce my bare chest, the worst thing is that he noticed that my nipples were raised involuntarily, as a sign of excitement, however, That did not take away from the tedious nature of the situation.
• "I'll go to my room!" I exclaimed, ran up the stairs, and quickly closed the door with a loud bang behind me, I made sure he had a double key, although what a guarantee it could be, if he surely had a copy.
• I lay on the big bed, the air was getting thick as I breathed and my chest was rising and falling, I spent the night blank, just thinking that he could do something wrong to me, but it was something too confusing, deep down I didn't want to be the victim of someone who could abuse me, but, on the other hand, thinking about Maximilian's physique, his deep gaze, and all the lustful feelings that the man made me have, made me lose control.
• I liked his outlined face, his muscular body, his fleshy mouth, his lock-like beard, and above all his damned sexy voice, which, to tell the truth, was harmony to my ears, the deepest sensation that a woman like me, spiteful and unwanted, could feel.
• But he was a simple stranger, my ex's uncle, an irremediable situation that made everything between the two of us completely crazy. As soon as I saw the sun come through the bedroom window, I got out of bed, took out a suitcase and packed the little I had, it was a shit to be convinced that a fake marriage contract and being married to Maximilian, was the solution, just because my ex had not loved me, what kind of woman was I becoming? Money would be fine, but dignity cannot be bought.
• I went down quickly, I didn't even shower, but to my surprise, the gentleman was sitting in one of his large armchairs, with a cup of coffee in one hand and a newspaper in the other.
• He looked up from his glasses, closed the newspaper, and put it on the table.
• "Good morning, Madison, where are you going so early?" He rebuked me with the question
• "I'm leaving your mansion, if you want to enforce the clause of the contract for non-compliance, you can do so, but I can't marry you Maximilian."
• Maximiliano slowly got up from his seat and slowly approached me, he cursed, it seemed that with the days he became sexier.
• "Tell me, was it because of last night?" If you want you can go live in one of my apartments while we get married, and of course we take the time to get to know each other, Madison this is only a marriage contract, obviously nothing is going to happen between you and me, at this very moment I am not interested in a relationship and even less if it is not consensual.
• The man's words were inspiring confidence in me, but no, I had to get out of there.
• "Thank you very much for the offer, but no, with permission.
• I opened the door of the mansion, taking with me, not only the small suitcase, but also the intoxicating perfume of Maximilian, which impregnated my nostrils, when I crossed the threshold and the large door closed behind me, a terrible chill ran through my being, where was I going to go? If I didn't have money in my pocket, the worst, my friend couldn't receive me in her home and she didn't have a job.
• I walked the streets of Manhattan trying to think of a single solution that would get me out of that predicament. I checked my phone a lot of times to see if I had any calls from Maximilian, but I didn't have the slightest message at least, I didn't understand why that was affecting me so much, if leaving his mansion was the best decision I could have made.
• The hours went by, and with them, hunger and cold took over my being, at that moment I confirmed that, due to a stupid relationship with Francisco, my personal life had gone to the tobacconist's shop, I had no friends, I had no family, a social life and much less a charitable soul to extend me his hand was so alone in the world that it seemed that Maximilian, it was the only thing I had at that time, but I refused to accept it.
• I took my phone, I called my friend many times, but she didn't answer, I was doing an important test to go to college just that day, it was logical that she couldn't help me at that moment, I lowered my head and put it between my knees, I snuggled myself to give myself the comfort I was so desperately needed, Life was putting me to hard tests, but it only had me, I would sleep on the street, I was cold, sleepy, in pain, however, the next day with the clarity of dawn, I would look for what to do, for now, I only had to sleep on the street.
