The Wicked Mrs. Gastrell (English version)

Flashback

“Huh??” The only thing that came out of my mouth when I heard what he said.

He leans forward on the chair and folds his arms. His eyes flashed with a mixture of anger and lust.

“You heard what I said. Are you that stupid to not understand? Fine, I’ll translate it for you. Take off your clothes. Now.”

My face felt like it was soaked in vinegar when I heard him. It seemed like all my blood pooled over my face and neck as he repeated the words again and again when I didn’t move. My body was suddenly numb with shame.

If he is not so cruel, he will know that what he is doing to me now is more than the things I can do.

It’s easy to take off the clothes but the way he looks at me, it’s like he’s digging into my soul. I’m afraid of what he will do next.

“Why are you holding a cellphone? Are you going to record me? Are we going to make a video? Please Cholo, this is not what I agreed with,” I cried.

We were both stunned when I mentioned his name.

He smiled sarcastically at me after throwing the cellphone he was holding onto the bed.

“So you know me?” He laughed insultingly.

“Right, who in this town doesn’t know the Gastrells. If you know my family then you must have also known about my mother, my poor kind mother. She had no idea that she was being fooled with you and my father.”

He looked at me. “You’re too beautiful to be an old man’s mistress. Leave my dad alone and be my woman instead.”

I felt like I swallowed my tongue with what I discovered. It blasted revelations after revelation that I couldn’t even blink.

Mr. Gastrell has a mistress? But everyone in the whole town thought that the couple’s marriage was very ideal. In the eyes of the many, they love each other so much that I can’t believe that the man will commit such a thing.

What’s even worse is that Cholo mistook me for his father’s mistress, which is very unlikely to happen because first, I have never even met his father. Second, I have no intention of destroying the family that I admire and look up to. I’m not that kind of girl.

Except maybe this time.

“You’re wrong if you think I’m your father’s other woman,” I said in a low voice.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

I tried to meet his burning gaze but I couldn’t. I can’t help thinking that the anger on his eyes is for me. My heart is broken by the fact that my image for him is broken.

I never even dreamed that he would like me because I knew that possibility was very impossible.

My mind is on the ground so I just looked at him from afar, from the high gate of his university or on the rare occasions when I see him strolling in the mall with his girlfriend for that month.

I never thought that I would be given this kind of destiny to share the same room with the man. Maybe fate is telling me to stop my obsession with Cholo by putting me in the most compromising situation I’ve ever been in.

Cholo stood up abruptly causing the chair to fall over. The folding chair made a loud noise causing me to flinch in surprise.

“You’re good. You’re a thinking whore. Why would you even accept my offer if you can get more money from my father? So I want to make a deal with you, Karina. I’ll give a million pesos for you to cut off your ties with my father. In exchange, I won’t tell your father and brother what their very demure family member is doing.”

My eyes widened. Blood drained from my face and I felt like an impending doom is going to happen to me. I stood up and faced Cholo who was still staring at me angrily.

“D-Don’t… Please don’t. Have mercy on me, please… Don’t tell them what I’m doing. They don’t know. Please don’t Cholo. Have mercy. I’m begging you. My father will die if he finds out. Please don’t. ”

I rubbed my palms together and fell to my knees begging for him.

Just seeing my father’s hurt face felt like I couldn’t breath at all. I don’t think I can ever show my face to them if Cholo spreads the word about what I did today.

“We won’t have any problems if you will just follow what I wanted you to do. I don’t know how many fathers and husbands you stole away from their families with that face and body of yours but I won’t let you ruin my family, Karina. This has to stop here,” he concluded.

I was initially going to deny his accusation against me again but I didn’t. I’m sure he’ll just insist that he’s right.

A person blinded by anger does not accept reason. I’ll just let him believe whatever he thinks. After all, this is our first and last meeting.

I didn’t move. I just looked down and clenched my hands at my sides to stop them from shaking.

“Good pussy. I’ll take your silence as a yes. For now, I’ll make the most of what I paid you for this whole night. I’ll make sure I erase every memory you had with my father and all the other men you’ve been in bed with. I’ll make you taste how it’s like to be fucked hard, Karina. Now, strip.”

I just want to pass out on the spot because of a mixture of nervousness, fear, self-loathing, and shame because not only did I become a bad woman in front of him but I also became an accessory to his father’s affair that is a threat to destroy his entire family.

I just want the earth to open up and swallow me alive now.

“Your ears are working perfectly. You heard me earlier but why do are you acting like a deaf now. Strip. Now,” he repeated again in a hard voice.

“O-Okay. I-I’m going to get undressed.”

I swallowed my hesitation and slowly raised my hand towards the robe. I closed my eyes for a moment before finally untying it and letting it fall to the floor. My tears fell the same time that it hit the squeaky clean floor.

I heard a sound from the click of the camera but I didn’t bother to look at Cholo. I feel so ashamed knowing that I exposed my body to a man for the first time.

I gasped when Cholo suddenly pulled me and pushed me onto the bed then ran over me. My wet eyes glimmered against his grey eyes.

“Stop using your tears with me, Karina. I will not fall for it. Only a fool will cower before a dirt like you, slut.”

Before I could catch my breath, his face came down and kissed me passionately.

I closed my eyes and just accepted my fate. I just put in my mind that at least, I will surrender myself to the man I secretly adore.
