But now, after just six months, he was asking if she wanted him to divorce.
What was he getting at?
Had he gotten bored of his new missus, used her up, and now figured his old flame was more fun in bed?
Jessie laughed, tears rolling down her cheeks.
She shoved him away hard, stumbling forward, not caring which empty private room she found herself in.
In the room, she spotted some booze and poured herself a hefty glass.
âJessie!â
Albertâs voice rang out, pained.
Jessie lifted her head, downing half the glass in one go.
As she lowered it, she stared at the rest of the golden liquid and murmured, âWhatâs the big deal? Itâs just s@x, right? Selling myself to anyone, itâs all the same, isnât it? Some guy just waved tens of millions and wanted a roll in the hay.
How much are you offering, Mr.
Waston?
Letâs haggle a price.
Iâll down a few more, or else I might not be able to stomach looking at your face, especially since weâre both fed up with each other.
â
âJessie! You think Iâm here just for s@x?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think I am?â
The glass slipped from Jessieâs grip, shattering on the floor.
Her face was a mask of cold beauty.
She shot back, âMr.
Waston, you spent three years in my bed, didnât you? If it wasnât just for the s@x, are you trying to say it was love? Iâm not giving myself away for free.
Whatâs wrong with wanting some perks? Back then, I wanted a real commitment, a lasting bond.
Now that youâre hitched, whatâs so wrong for me to go for some cash?â
Albert fell into silence.
He watched her quietlyâ¦
After a long pause, he strolled over to the liquor cabinet, fetched a bottle, and placed it in front of her.
âAlright! Iâll buy you for one night! Five hundred million! Knock back half this bottle and come with me to the villa!â
Five hundred million dollars for one night with her?!
Jessie stared at him, her eyes red.
Albertâs tone turned icy.
âWhat? Youâre not up for it? Didnât you just say you wanted to make a deal?â
Jessie scoffed.
âWell, isnât that something? I should be thanking Mr.
Waston for his generosity, giving me the chance to serve him!â
Albert handed her a glass of whisky and she downed it in one shot.
