After eating, Eros dropped me back at home; this time, he didn’t get out of the car, and I think that’s a wise choice. Thanking him, I walked into the apartment. As soon as I got in there, Clara was waiting.
“You were gone all day!” She sits and smirks. I take off the jacket and place it down. “Well, boom.” She walks to me. “One, he bought you a dress worth thousands! Two, he used you well,” she laughs and looks at my neck.
“He didn’t use me!” I argue. I wanted it, I agreed.
“Look at you sticking up for Mr hotshot. You have been gone nearly twelve hours, Alexis!”
I nod and smile. “Okay, sit let me get a drink and explain,” I grab two glasses, filling them I sit with her. “So, before we even started, he got lost kissing me again,” I say, and she stares. She doesn’t know.
“Again? When did you two kiss outside of the contract?”
“Yesterday, he took me out to discuss the plan. Afterwards, he kissed me like some sort of feral beast. Ran away, then came back to my door to apologise and did it again,” I explain.

Her eyes widen. “He likes you,” she says, and my head shakes. “Come on, he kissed you goodnight, then came back to apologise and did it again?”
I get what she’s saying, but it’s not personal. It’s not like that at all.
“Then he kissed you again before you even began. Come on, spill the beans; I need every detail.”
Sitting, I drink and tell her everything, from me hiding in his bathroom to us going well over the hour and me refusing to let him pay more. Then I explain about the lovely Olivia and how much she hates me. Then I explain our late–night dinner.
She sits listening, and I can see she has a lot to say and a lot of questions. She’s bouncing in her seat and like some crazed
woman.
“Sit still; you’re not on a dick,” I laugh, and she joins in.
“I’m sorry, but how can you act like he doesn’t want your butt full–time?”
My eyes roll at her. “Just say ass. Butt sounds wrong,” I laugh. “Look, he’s nice and everything, but this was never anything more than a business deal, Clara, I argue.

laughs. I know I did, and he did say it was personal, but I refused to let this become more when he paid me for an hour.
“What he said about Elon, have you considered it?” Clara asks.
“I’m not sure, yeah I do think he’s being fucking me over, but the ones who are paying him, are his contacts, he has the power to block my career, to censor me in some ways.”
It’s a fact that no company will hire me or give me an hour of work if Elon gets involved. Then what?
“Mr Pierce has already told you he can give you a position,” Clara explains. “Under him,”
“Stop!” I laugh at her.
“Sorry, but I have to. You hadn’t even got him in bed, and you got that guy hooked.”
“I’m going to take a few weeks to consider it. Look into who Elon has contracts with and see if the price works out,” I explain.
“Eros is right. You could go it alone. Legally, you could buy yourself out of the contract and be your own manager!” She smiles and hugs me.
“What about you?” She joined after me, and I have always kept

her close to me and looked out for her. Me buying myself out means leaving her behind and alone.
“Forget me. When you get a chance like that, you take it. Don’t consider me. I’ll be fine. I have been for life,” she smiles, but it feels wrong to leave her behind. I know when she first began, she was quiet and didn’t dare to speak up for herself.
Her not swearing outside of filming really says who she was when she began. I don’t like leaving her and knowing there is a high possibility the assholes will use her and push for her to forget her limits.
“I swear, I’ll be fine, Alexis.” She hugs me, but it isn’t easy to walk away and know I’ve left her behind. We spend the night talking and fall asleep together while we do.
Standing with the robe wrapped around my body, I glare at Wesley. Today just fucking confirmed that I shouldn’t leave Clara behind.
“You’re going to be bitch Bunny Wild, don’t waste your energy,” he laughs and sits back.
“A bitch! I’m going to cut your dick off and feed it to you!” I shout back, and he laughs.
“Enough. Missy Spinx knew what she was getting herself into, and she agreed,” Dale argues. Clara knew, but that didn’t make

it right.
“Of course she did; she needs fucking money for her mother’s medication. Someone that desperate for money will ignore their limits, which is why they shouldn’t be mentioned!” I glare past Dale to Wesley.
“Calm it! If you care so much for her, go see her. You’ve got no one here to back you up this time,” Dale argues with me.
He means Mr Pierce, he is pissed off that the other day he got shut down by My Pierce and was silenced and now, he’s making a point of ensuring I know I’m alone.
“I don’t need a man to fight my corner, stop bringing up her limits and offering her cash,” I shout and walk back through to the bathroom.
Walking in, Clara is sat with a towel wrapped around her.
“It’s my fault Alexis for agreeing, I thought I could handle it,” she whispers and I hug her.
“It’s not your fault. They shouldn’t even suggest something on your hardlist! How much do you need to get out of this?” I ask.
“Thirty thousand, but I can’t. I need money for my mum’s medication,” she looks at me.

“Let me figure it out,” I say. I can’t ever leave with her stuck in this, so before I get out, she gets out. I will do it.
“If I sort it out, promise you won’t come back.” I look at her.
“Don’t sort it out. I need the money,” she argues.
“You can’t stay here. Let’s get dressed and leave. You’re done for today, right?” I look at her, and she nods. That’s good. I need to see if I can pay off her buyout and give her enough for a few months until she gets a stable job.
