Even arranged for him to meet Marcy Davenport, eldest daughter of Richard Davenport, one of the richest and most influential families in Westwood. He loved his freedom he was twenty-six for heaven sakes. So, James being the rebel he was, promised himself to marry the first woman he runs into who didn’t know him from a bar of soap, just to shut the old men up.

He's Just Using You

DESTINY

I couldn’t sleep, rolling around on the bed, twisting the covers around my legs. Eventually I just gave up. James was in my head. Damn him! I was such an idiot! Every time he looked at me, I just caved in.

What was I going to do? I got myself into this mess by agreeing to his stupid contract in the first place. Because I felt I owed him. But he looked after me, like no one else had in my entire life. He was the only one, despite his selfishness. And I was in love with him. The simple truth.

“Oh, Destiny, you are so pathetic!” I told my reflection. “Just because he looks after you, doesn’t mean he loves you. He is using you. Like everybody else.”

But still…

I fell back onto the bed and pressed a pillow over my face. So, now I am considering giving him a baby. My child. Am I worse than my mother? She left me for a rich man to be raised by an alcoholic father.

James said he won’t let me abandon my child. How can I believe him when all he does is lie?
