Chapter 308
As Kathy helped Greg out of the taxi, it was clear that the man was really drunk.
Unlike before, the alcohol he had tonight seemed especially strong… even stimulating.
Kathy had no money, so he had to pay for their room.
Once inside, she made a show of helping him to bed, and said, “You should rest, sir-”
Grey suddenly caught her wrists.
Feigning surprise at first, Kathy resisted just a little before yielding to his advances, and what happened soon after was simply water under the bridge.
After the deed was done, Kathy was clutching at the sheets as she sat by the headboard, her eyes welling with miserable tears.
Greg was left staring at the blood staining the sheets in silence for a long while, before breathing a lengthy sigh. “I didn’t know that you were chaste… but I’ll definitely take responsibility for what I did.”
Kathy appeared afraid, and was averting her eyes.
However, the reason she bled was because Stan had her undergo a hymenorrhaphy at a hospital.
He told her that Greg would love and cherish her all the more if he found out that she was a virgin, and that had certainly been proven true now.
However, even as her fingers clenched on the bed sheets, all she felt was burning spite toward Quincy, who was the reason she lost her chastity in the first place.
That had also lost her Isaac’s favor, and she therefore vowed to get back at Quincy-which was what she was doing right now, by stealing Quincy’s husband!
As she lowered her head shyly, Greg reached out to caress her cheek.
“How nice it is to be young, such smooth skin…” he murmured, and then asked, “Do you have family? Is there anything I could help with?”
They had just met, but he was now acting like a longtime acquaintance after sex.
Stan had told Kathy to make her story as miserable as possible, so that Greg would love her all the more. “My parents died very early,” she said, and it was no lie.
“I was just a child back then, and I had to live with my grandfather. We were poor, and we only had each other. That’s why I had to borrow from those loan sharks when he was sick… But I just borrowed a grand, and after just a week, they told me I have to pay a 700 dollar interest! I couldn’t get the money in time- that’s why they were chasing me. They would have eaten me alive if I didn’t run into you…”
Greg patted her hand assuringly. “Yeah. They would definitely have done their worst with someone as beautiful as you. Well, it’s fortunate that you’ve run into me-I’ll take care of you now.” “…B-But aren’t you married?” Kathy asked gingerly. “I don’t want to cause trouble for your family…”
