deal concluded

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about my life. Nathan is becoming more and more greedy, and I fear that one day he won’t let me go. So I decided to take the first step and tell him that I wanted to end this relationship. I want to be free and reorganize my life.If my father ever found out that I was sleeping with other men, he would probably break my leg. He would never tolerate his daughter’s dignity—and therefore the family’s honor—being tarnished. He even believed I was still a virgin, because in his mind, I was supposed to lose my virginity with Perry since we were supposed to get married. The wedding never happened, and I broke up with Perry. My father probably assumed I was still waiting for the right person.On top of that, my parents had recently been urging me to get married. I was truly terrified they might one day discover my secret affair with Nathan. I had no choice but to face him and tell him the truth.As I was deep in thought, Nathan came out of the bathroom and lay

Complaining

Now I had to find a boyfriend in order to get rid of Nathan once and for all.Nathan: “Alright then. Deal,” he replied.After giving me a deep look, he lay down beside me and suddenly stopped looking at me. He had probably lost all desire. What I had said must have disturbed him—or so I hoped. He had come face to face with a different kind of woman, one who wasn’t running after him.Letting out a sigh of relief, I felt more at ease and began thinking seriously about finding a suitable marriage partner as soon as possible. Time was really running out, and I needed to move quickly. It wasn’t going to be easy to find a man, and the task would be both irritating and exciting at the same time.After finally confessing everything that was in my heart, I felt relieved and lighter. I quickly drifted into a deep sleep. It had been a long and chaotic day. So many things had happened one after another that fatigue eventually took over.When I woke up the next morning, Nathan was no longer in the

Appointment

Liliana was determined. She still didn’t want to give up and seemed quite confident about the man she had arranged for me to meet that evening. But I really wasn’t feeling well, on top of being exhausted from the long day. All I wanted was to rest and enjoy my night.“I really don’t feel like going. I’m so tired.”I tried to convince her to let me stay home and rest.Looking at Liliana with pity, I hoped she would feel a little compassion too. I even tried to give her a sad puppy-face look, almost forcing myself to cry. I really hoped she would spare me for tonight.Even though she tried to reassure me in every way possible, there was no hope left in my heart. I guessed all the good men in this world had already been taken, leaving me with the bad ones. I no longer believed in sweet lies, and I no longer believed that a good man even existed. The wound Perry had left in me hadn’t fully healed yet.“Irene, are you going or not? If you don’t, I’ll end our friendship! I’m tired of this,”

Love

I was so troubled by the idea that he was ignoring me like this. I kept thinking about him. I was lying on my bed, dazed, with my phone in my hand, hesitating to contact Nathan. It had been so long, and yet I hadn’t received a single call. Had he forgotten about me? I felt a bit depressed. What was even stranger was that Nathan had always been very clear—he only wanted sex with me. So why was my heart racing so much for a sexual predator?Thinking about it only made me feel more upset and confused. Now that he was no longer contacting me… wasn’t that what I wanted? Yet here I was, wanting to call him. Maybe I was losing my mind. I had clearly told him last time that I didn’t want our relationship anymore, and yet suddenly I found myself wanting him again.We had agreed that our arrangement would end as soon as I found a boyfriend.Now that I had finally found someone, our relationship was supposed to end. That was the deal between us. But I felt a wave of disappointment wash over me.

At the coffee

Love was a big word, but to me it no longer meant anything.I closed my eyes and forced myself not to think about such things. Then, since I had been extremely exhausted these past few days, it didn’t take long for me to fall asleep.I felt as though every passing day put my emotions to the test again and again. Still, tomorrow was another day, and I had to prepare myself to face it.The next morning, when I woke up, the sun was already high and shining brightly.However, it was the weekend, so I could sleep in today. I took full advantage of this morning because I didn’t get this opportunity every day.I glanced at the alarm clock on the nightstand and realized it was already ten in the morning. I stretched in bed, but I didn’t want to get up. It felt incredibly good; after working all week, having the weekend off was a real blessing.For most office workers, the most desirable thing to do during the weekend was to sleep in. To get to work on time, one had to wake up very early durin

familiar voice

Stephen: Miss Fletcher, I think we are made for each other. Perhaps we could give it a try. What do you think?To be honest, I already knew what he had in mind. When he spoke at that moment, I knew exactly where this would lead. Indeed, if I had taken part in blind dates, it was for no other reason than the prospect of marriage.So I knew perfectly well that this topic would come up. Although I had no feelings for him and he was a complete stranger to me, he met the criteria I was looking for in a man for marriage: he was very composed, gentle, decent, respectful, and also handsome.I hesitated nonetheless to accept his proposal, but in the end I resolved to do so. I had struggled a lot to find a good profile like his. Even though I wasn’t enthusiastic about the idea, I no longer intended to take part in endless blind dates. I had to make do with what I had.Me: My goal in going on blind dates is to find a marriage partner. If you share the same view as I do, Stephen, then we could in

He is my boss.

Nathan was standing beside a car, staring at me fiercely. He was looking at me with intense anger. I was utterly shocked, and since I hadn’t seen him for several days, I trembled at the sight of his sudden appearance. I lost my composure and almost ran away at that moment. It had been ages. His domineering aura began to affect me again, and I was terribly afraid.I curled in on myself, thrown off by his sudden appearance. I truly didn’t know where to put myself. It felt as if someone had aimed a revolver at me. I was in a state of total panic.Dazed, he stepped toward me, dominating me with a condescending gaze. He had always managed to overpower me, but this time the situation was even more frightening.“Dear Irene, who is he?” Stephen said, in an unprecedented state of shock.Stephen, who was standing beside me, understood that something was wrong. He frowned and looked at me suspiciously.I felt as if I were being swept into a whirlwind, as though everything were closing in on me a

you're pushing me to the limit

Nathan’s domineering behavior made me feel guilty. Now that I was on the verge of starting a relationship, I feared that Stephen might discover our shady escapades. If he happened to find out, I would cross us both off completely. I was at a dead end.Nathan: Irene, you’re pushing me to my limit! Nathan said. He sounded like a man speaking to his wife—yet that was far from our reality. We didn’t even have a serious relationship. He always wanted to have the upper hand, and his demands were like orders that had to be carried out immediately.Up until now, I had never refused one of Nathan’s requests, and he was clearly beside himself with rage. He greatly preferred me to be obedient, as usual. He couldn’t stand it when I stood up to him.Me: Nathan, I… I said in a panic.I looked into his dark eyes, feeling guilty, and tried to explain myself. But before I could even open my mouth, Nathan grabbed my arm and violently dragged me toward his car. It was a scene straight out of a movie. Na

Not now

Nathan: Upset? Irene, have you forgotten the relationship that exists between us? Have you forgotten our deal? What were you doing with that man over there? You dare break our agreement—on top of that, without even informing me.His eyes locked onto mine sharply as he questioned me. I was terrified by his overwhelming aura, yet at the same time deeply confused, because his words made little sense. What did he mean? And why had he tried to expose our relationship in public?Forced to meet his gaze, my heart pounded harder. I didn’t understand what Nathan was implying, nor his sudden burst of anger. For a moment, I even wondered if he had drunk too much. But despite the fact that he drank occasionally, I knew he wasn’t an alcoholic.So what was going on with him?Nathan: Irene, are you really that desperate to find a man? You told me you intended to look for a marriage partner. And in just a few days, you’ve already found one? You didn’t waste any time, I see, he said bitterly.When I d

you want to join him

He stood up to greet me with a light kiss on the cheek and pulled out my chair for me. Once I sat down, he went to sit across from me, on the other side of the table.I took the initiative and ordered two cups of coffee.He sat there facing me without saying a word. Usually, he was the one who started the conversation, but this time he simply looked at me. I felt a little uncomfortable, so I decided to speak first.Me: Stephen, I’m really sorry about last time. I had to leave because of an emergency at the office…I didn’t want to tell him everything about Nathan.I looked at Stephen nervously and explained softly, almost in a whisper, hoping he would understand easily and not ask too many questions. I knew deep down that he wouldn’t be fully convinced by my explanation—the scene from last time had been far too clear. Anyone could tell it wasn’t a work-related conflict, but something personal. I suspected he already had doubts about Nathan and me.Stephen: Irene, may I ask you a quest
