Sinfully Yours by Mirah Selim (best e reader for manga txt) 📕

Cyrus had instructed her to not enter his office ever. He hates it when someone interrupts him during work. He was never a fan of office fuck. Even if it's in the office of his mansion.

"I-I am sorry master I--- AHH" A loud painful cry ripped out of her throat when Cyrus grabbed his gun and shot a bullet right towards her.

The bullet sliced the side of her arm giving a fresh and burning cut on her revealing arm. She instantly held her arm tearing up.

Her blue eyes looked up in his dark greenish ones who had no remorse for shooting her for such a petty mistake.

He stood up while playing with his gun making her step back. "M-M-Master I ---" Cyrus in a second cornered her against the wall and placed his gun on her lips making her freeze in her place.

"Shhh." He leaned his face down to her level before sliding his gun to her tear-stained cheek. He caressed her cheek with his gun before whispering.

"Do not I repeat do fucking not disobey or ignore my words again. Hmm because next time." He dug the knob of the gun in her chubby cheek making her shut her eyes.

She jumped in her place letting out a shriek when he pulled the trigger but nothing. The gun had only one bullet which he already shot at her. 

She snapped her eyes open when he started laughing loudly. His dark laugh echoed in the room as he stepped back. He patted her cheek using the gun.

"Cute. Now get out." She ran out without wasting a second making Cyrus chuckle out. 

He again went to his work and didn't even care for the blood that was scattered on the wall. It's not like it was something new. 

Suddenly his mind went to the girl who was going to marry him. A small sinister smile appeared on his lips as he stared at the gun placed on the table.

"I am getting a new playtoy. It will be fun to play with you." He mumbled staring at the gun like a psycho. 

Meanwhile,

"What did you just say?" Hazel said in pure disbelief. She stared at her grandmother like she had lost her mind.

"You heard me I got a good proposal for you. Your grandfather had betrothed you to his closest friend's grandson. You were two years old that time and at first, I thought that boy might reject you after seeing how ugly you are. But surprisingly he said he wants to marry you." 

"You know very well it's not a marriage. It's a deal. A contract. You are not marrying me. You are selling me." Hazel gritted out as tears were blurring her gaze. She never thought her grandmother can stoop so low.

"So what? Tell me so what? You are nothing but a burden on us. You are like a useless burden who does nothing just waste everything and now when we are finally going to have something and you are the reason you still wants to come out useless." Her grandmother ranted out.

The moment the man in a suit came to her and told her the offer. Her greediness took the best control of her senses. She was ready to sell her granddaughter after all she never really wanted to have a granddaughter from that woman.

Hazel stared at the woman with shocked eyes. Even her aunt glared at her mother in disbelief. "Mom that's enough you --" 

"Shut up don't you dare to come between us." The old woman snarled at her daughter who looked at her niece with sad eyes.

"It's just a year marriage and 6 months stay with him no big deal. Your one year with him can bring a lot of favor to us." Hazel gritted her teeth feeling a wave of humiliation in her body.

The woman in front of her had made her plans to sell her granddaughter without feeling a little bit of shame. She glared at the woman not ready to give up on her pride like this.

"Listen to me carefully. I will not marry him. I wouldn't let you sell me like a slave. I will not marry him!" Saying that she started walking out of the kitchen and climbing up the stairs. She heard her grandmother calling her but she ignored everything till.

"Wait, Ms. Astor." Hazel stopped on the third stair hearing a deep unfamiliar voice. She turned around only to meet with the cold eyes of a man who looked quite older than her.

"Hello, Ms. I am Carl. Boss has sent me to offer you the contract marriage." Hazel glared at the man before clenching her jaw.

"You can take a leave and tell your boss that I am not going to accept this offer of his. I don't want to marry him." Saying that she turned around to run to her room but froze hearing his next words.

"Don't you want your mother to recover?" Hazel stood on the staircase clutching the handle as the man continued his words.

"Boss is not only offering you a good amount of money but also is ready to offer your mother the best treatment. We will take her to the city and offer her the best treatment. And I can guarantee you she will be recovered sooner than you can imagine." 

Hazel's grandmother snickered displeased by the offer of giving treatment to that woman but also felt pleased by the way the man was manipulating the stubborn girl. Her aunt sighed seeing Hazel's expressions. She slowly turned around and looked at the man.

"What do I have to do? What's the meaning of this contract marriage?" She questioned making the man nod his head.

"As soon as you will sign these papers. We will take your mother to the city. And give her the best treatment. Your grandmother will get the promised money as well." Carl said making Hazel drop her head in defeat.

"But for that, you have to be his wife for a year. And the last 6 months of your marriage you will live with him under the same roof." The man said and Hazel understood his words. Indeed he was buying her, doesn't he? 

"I want to go with my mother to the city." She said looking at the man who shook his head.

"I am sorry mam but that's not possible. Boss doesn't want to reveal anything to you in the first 6 months. You wouldn't know who he is. what he does. or how he looks in these 6 months." He said making her aunt stare at the man with her jaw dropped. Her grandmother also frowned.
