Mr. CEO's Mistress

Chapter 02



Chapter 02

ALICE'S POV

Getting to the hotel, I met the receptionist who was a young girl named Melissa. We knew each other

well, because I have been working at the hotel for almost six months now.

“ Hey! You are soaked. You will get sick ” Melissa's worried voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I

shook my head, smiling “ It's nothing. Don't worry! ” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Moving past her with the fake smile still plastered over my lips, I sighed out and shivered slightly.

Melissa was right, I could catch a cold and I did not have any money to treat myself The thought

seemed awfully funny to me.

With the money still in mind, I changed my clothes into my usual red and white uniform and started

cleaning the rooms one by one. My hair dried up on their own, but I felt sticky and gross to even myself.

Castillo Hotel was one of many hotels that fell under Castillo chain of hotels. Castillo's were currently

the most rich people in the country with a wealth that everyone dreamed off. They had everything.

Fame. Power. Money. And all Undescriable pleasures of life.

I had heard that Martin Knight Castillo who was the CEO of all the Castillo Corporation handed that

position over to his twenty nine year old son, Damien Knight Castillo, who came back from abroad

recently. No one had seen him at the hotel yet, but I heard the rich people talking about how

handsome, cruel and heartless he was.

He was called a double edged sword among people. If cultivated in the right way, it could tear the

enemy apart and if used in the wrong way, it would leave the one holding it, shredded. I did not

understand what they meant by it at all and I was not hoping to find out either. The chance of meeting

someone like Damien Knight Castillo was zero out of ten for me. He was not someone of my league.

Everyone badmouthed him and often repeated an incident, that happened a month ago. They used to

say that an employee tried to talk back to Damien Knight Castillo in a meeting and he beat him to death

in front of everyone. After that, the employee went missing and even his body was not found yet. A

shiver ran down my spine and I shook my head at this thought crossing my mind again.

Leaving the trolley, I decided to go to Melissa to ask for some free coffee. I did not have money to buy it

for myself.

When I approached the reception, Melissa was talking on the telephone “ Ofcourse, Sir! I will make

sure of it. ” Saying this to whoever was on the other side, she placed the receiver down. I have

observed her expressions, that screamed seriousness “ Is everything alright? ” I asked in a worried

tone and Melissa smiled at me, sheepishly.

“ Everything is alright. Just an event down in the basement hall today. We staff people are restricted to

go there. ” Explaining to me, Melissa gulped and clenched her hands into fists. “ Let me guess! You

came to ask me for coffee again. ” Rolling her eyes, Melissa picked up the receiver when I smiled

leisurely.

Everyone would think of me as shameless, but I was helpless to the point, I did not care about terms

like dignity, shame, self-respect and honour anymore. I was desperate and desperation can make

humans do anything. Anything they could and could not do.

Lost in my thoughts, I missed out on what Melissa was saying. As the telephone ringed, Melissa picked

it up hastily “ WHAT?! I am sorry, Sir. I am really sorry, Sir. I will fix it somehow. Believe me. ”

I frowned as I noticed the sweat that started forming on Melissa's forehead and the fear that clouded

her eyes. Putting the receiver on its place, Melissa's shoulders slumped down.

“ Is everything...alright? ” I inquired with the same question again, while rubbing my hands together

awkwardly. Why did Melissa look so scared and hysteric? I was failing to understand it.

Hearing my smooth and small voice, Melissa's eyes brightened up with an idea. It was not good and it

was not right what she was about to do to me, but it was necessary if she wanted to live herself.

“ Alice?! ” Melissa moved around the reception counter and stopped in front of me. Lines of worry

etched upon my forehead because of the look in Melissa's eyes. Melissa was staring at me like the

world was ending and only I could save her.

“ You are a virgin, right? ” The weird question made me gulp, wondering where this conversation was

even going. “ What does it have to do with you, Melissa? ” I shook my head, getting irritated by all of

this now.

“ Do you want to earn some quick money? ” The next question almost made my eyes pop out of their

sockets.

Now, it was my turn to look at Melissa like she was my saviour. I have not heard words more sweeter

than this in my whole life. Even Archer's ' I love you ' did not sound this good. My head moved up and

down rapidly on its own.

Yes. I needed money. And lots and lots of it right now. No matter what I had to do, I needed money.

It was scary what desperation could turn a person into.

“ Are you willing to do something that's immoral? ” Melissa's next question made me fall deeper into the

pit of confusion. “ What do you mean by this? Please tell me clearly. ” I let out and dragged my tongue

across my lower lip, before nibbling on it due to nervousness.

“ Are you willing to sell your virginity? ” It was like a bomb was dropped over my head. A scoff left my

lips and I shook my head. Melissa was not serious right? But the look on her face screamed dead-

serious.

Seeing this, I could say only one thing “ WHAT THE FUCK! ” I screamed out and turned around to

move away from Melissa, who looked like a creep to me now.

“ Alice. Alice, listen! ” Before I could run away, Melissa grabbed my wrists and held me in my place “

You need money and you will get it. You just need to spend one night with someone and you will get a

huge amount of money. ” She tried to woo me, but I pulled my wrists away with a jerk “ You are stupid

to think that I will do something - something like this. ” The look of pure disgust was present of my face,

as I tried hard to stay rooted on that place even for a moment more.

Sneering at Melissa who glared at me, I stormed away from there. My heart was beating faster and

cold sweat coated my body. What was wrong with Melissa and all this selling virginity thing? Placing my

hand on my heart, I stared out of the glass wall of the hotel. The lights were shining so brightly outside

that it mesmerised me for longer than it should have. I wish, I could just stand here and stare at those

bright light for the rest of my life.

' You just need to spend one night with someone and you will get a huge amount of money. ' The words

echoed in my mind and I had to close my eyes and inhale deeply to get rid of these weird thoughts.

Suddenly, the phone inside my pocket vibrated and my body jumped up with my eyes going wide.

Cringing, I took out the phone and saw the caller Id, before picking up the call “ Yes, Mom. ” My voice

was dead tired with the inner conflict taking a toll on me.

“ The hospital staff is asking me to take your father home tomorrow morning as we haven't paid the

room's deposit. ” Claudia's robotic voice informed me as I slumped down against the wall.

' You just need to spend one night with someone and you will get a huge amount of money. ' The words

taunted my condition again and I hanged up the call.

Sitting there, I stared at the wall in front of me for a while before pushing myself off the floor.

If fate was messing around with my life, I should mess around with my own life even more.

Stupid, right? But always plausible. The best way to comfort yourself.

Pursing my lips, I rushed back to Melissa “ How much money? How much money are we talking about?

” Just like that clean and straightforward, I threw the question at Melissa who smiled at me sultrily.

This was wrong, my mind screamed but I pushed that thought away.

This was not about wrong and right. It was about money. And money was never wrong or right. It's just

money.

And just like this, for the next hour, what Melissa told me shocked me to the core. This made me realize

that what I agreed upon, was not just a simple one night trade. It was not just a prostituition deal. It was

something far more sinister than that.

It was an auction where many men were going to place their own price on my pure - untouched body.

It was an auction that was held at the Castillo Hotel's basement today.

Standing a few floors above, I never knew what happened underground behind the curtains of the rich

society.

But today, I was going to find out.

And I was going to find everything out in the most horrible way possible.
