John offers her a deal.

“I…”

Sabrina struggled to form a sentence as words seemed to be struck in her throat. Her hands trembled and she almost dropped the phone. She later had the thought about breaking the phone, to erase all evidence but it was too late as John had already taken it back from her hands.

Sensing her gaze, John reassured her.

“Now, now, don’t be so nervous.” He then added, waving the phone in his hand. “And do you really think I would not have made any backups or copies? There is no point in breaking my phone so stop thinking about that.“

“Here, drink some water and loosen up.”

Sabrina reluctantly took the offered glass of water and downed it in one gulp. After calming down, she felt like she could finally speak.

“What do you want from me?”

After the shock passed, it was replaced by fear, and then when even the fear had passed, it was replaced by something similar to hatred.

Her eyes stared at the man sitting leisurely in front of her, more accurately, at his never changing smile. That was the thing which had deceived her earlier, no more now. She could see through it now.

“Haha, don’t be so passionate, staring at me like that. We will have plenty of time later for that.” John laughed but that only made Sabrina even more restless and annoyed. She could not predict how this man in front of her would act.

“Stop joking around and tell me what you want.”

She almost shouted the ending of that sentence.

‘Good, she’s getting agitated. I was worried over nothing.’

John, who had succeeded his purpose that easily rebuked himself. He was a little surprised at how easily Sabrina managed to calmly collect herself, despite the relaxed environment he deliberately provided. However, that did not seem to be the case.

John leaned back, and started speaking slowly, “Well, since you are in such a rush, here’s the deal…”

Sabrina braced herself, ‘This is it.’ while John continued after a pause.

“I can promise you these photos and videos won’t ever see the light of the day. But you have to do one thing. — Until the end of summer break, you will do anything I say.”

Although she already knew, she still asked, hoping otherwise. “What do you mean by anything?”

“Exactly what it sound like. Anything. Ah, of course I won’t ask you to deal any physical harm to you.”

Horrified, that was the most appropriate word to describe her feeling at the moment. Of course she knew what it meant by ‘anything’.

She instinctively shouted, “N-No! I haven’t even had my first…!”

‘As I thought.’ John smiled, “Okay then, I won’t touch your virginity. How does that sound?”

“….Huh?”

Sabrina was stupefied at the sudden compromise she had gotten out of nowhere. She still could not read the man’s expression which only added to her confusion.

It was then she heard the urging of the man, “I don’t have all day to be here. Why don’t you decide faster? Whether you agree to the deal or not…Or could it be that you don’t mind if all the world, including your loved ones saw you like this?”

“Ah, don’t worry by the way. I won’t go back on my words.”

‘I…What is this?

If, if he doesn’t go back on his words, I already got a really good leeway…

It’s only going to be until summer ends…

It’s not like I have a choice…’

After thinking for a while, she reluctantly nodded, “…Okay. Don’t you dare go back on your words.”

John looked at her hatred filled eyes and was pleased with the developments happening per his expectations.

“Alright, we have ourselves a deal.

How about we sigh the deal now?”

Sabrina had a feeling this was not going as she would have liked, but she asked, “How?”
