Lust Contracts novel Chapter 21

***Back to the Present***

“Listen, I’m tired. Can we discuss this again tomorrow or another day?” I whined.

“Sure…” my mother replied.

“Everything should turn out just as we expected anyways so there’s not much to discuss…” father said with confidence.

“I’m going to my room…” I said softly as I slowly got up from my seat.

My bedroom was on the second floor. It was the same room that I had since the first day that I moved into the house all those years ago. I used that room up until the day that I married George and moved out of the house. Of course, during university I moved out for a bit to live closer to the university but that was about it.

“Sleep well daughter dear! When you wake up, you’ll be a billionaire!” my mother called cheerfully after me.

I rolled my eyes, knowing that they wouldn’t be able to see my reaction with my back turned towards them. Without bothering to turn around, I continued on my way to my bedroom. Their sounds of joyous laughter haunted me all the way until I reached the base of the stairs and ascended up to the second floor.

Those two are going to experience the shock of their lives tomorrow when they find out the truth. Let’s see who’s going to be faster. Me waking up and telling them or the news report in the morning.

Finally, I arrived at my bedroom. Quickly, I opened the door and marched in before closing and locking the door firmly behind. This room just feels like a tiny world on its own where I could hide away from the chaos and everything else that was going on in the world outside. Reality was harsh for me and for a while, I just wanted to hide away in this room just like I did when I was a kid.
