I'm Julie Michael

I went with my father to a luxurious restaurant in New York, but I never left with him.


On a lower floor of a world that doesn’t exist on any map, I discovered the truth:


I wasn’t abandoned by accident.
I was sold to Robert Cross, a billionaire who buys people for the joy of breaking them.


But I refuse to break under his hands. 

In Robert Cross’s world, everything has a price tag. I was his most expensive purchase, and I intend to be his most dangerous mistake.

"You bought my body, but you will not buy my submission," Julie spat.
Robert leaned in, his voice a dark hiss:


"Commodities don't need to like their masters, Julie... It’s enough that I took a liking to you and bought you, sweetheart."

Julie stomped the floor with her foot, and agitation was clear in the tone of her voice, which rose slightly as she pointed at my face: 


"You ran your thumb over your lip! You're hinting to me... hinting that I kissed you!"



My composure didn't budge; instead, I tilted my head to the side and looked at her with a gaze shrouded in mischief, then said with utter simplicity: 


"And what is the problem with that? It was just a kiss."

--------------------

She waved her hand with bitter irony: 


"Are you the one who's going to protect me from him?"


 I nodded, confirming: 


"Yes."



A low growl escaped her, and she said: 


"You are worse than him."

Then I asked her in a confident tone that made her cheeks burn: 


"Then why were you burying your face in my chest, with your fingers digging into my shirt?"

I entered Nyara's room, and as soon as her eyes settled on me, she rushed toward me with a trembling body, gripping my arm with cold fingers while panting: "Olivia! I died of terror... I thought Mr. Robert would discover the plan!"


I pushed her hand away from me coldly and adjusted my stance, looking at her with a sharp gaze that made her take a step back, and said in a low and reassuring voice: "Don't be afraid... I think he was convinced by your words."


She swallowed with difficulty and intertwined her fingers in agitation, asking: "But why did you make me give her the drugs?"


My features tensed, and I approached her slowly, saying in a commanding hiss: "Nyara... knowing this is none of your business!"
