Chapter 52: Sleepless

&#lt;p&#gt;&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Can I see him, please? Even if it's just from afar, I just want to see him once!" She begged, all she
wanted was to see her her child was, he wanted to see how he grew up, if he was adorable, if he was
happy!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Even if you don't want this money, I don't have the obligation to have you see him!" Mr. Fox said,
smiling behind his mask, he was mad when he saw the savings account, so mad that his hand which
was holding the cigarette was stiff.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Why did she not use it? This woman was so stupid!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Sir, lam begging you to please understand me as a mother!" Sherry's eyes reddened.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yeah, if you wanna see him, that is doable, but..." He paused intentionally, his deep dark eyes were
staring at her face.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"But what?" Sherry was grabbing tight onto her bag, she had no idea what requirement he will request.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Are you nervous?" Mr. Fox snipped on his cigarette, his gaze was still fixed on her, "Are you willing to
do anything I ask?”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She came to realize something.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Forget about it, you should go, I can see that you are not willing, but I am still going to be a nice man
and tell you, he is fine, he has people taking care of him, and he looks adorable, that's it, you can go
now!” Mr. Fox was still staring at her when saying word by word, "You already know everything about
him..”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;His voice was very deep, but very clear, Sherry felt as if someone grabbed her heart, she was not
satisfied with the outcome, no! She had to see her child.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Sir, please, I am begging you, what do I have to do to see him?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Are you willing to do anything?" He asked again.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She bit her teeth, and nodded, "Yes, anything!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Stay with me tonight?" He asked, he voice was weirdly hoarse.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;".... Whoosh,
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry felt as if a bomb exploded in her head, "Sir, can you think of something else instead of this?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Five years ago she lost her virginity to save her brother, did she have to pay with her body again five
years later to see her
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;son? She hadn't even seen his face.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Forget it, you can go, I will not force you!" He voice sounded relieved, as if he was betting on her not
to agree, she understood that this man was having all control in his hands.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry bit her lips, she was struggling hard inside, “Can I please see my child? Just briefly!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"No!" Mr. Fox was looking at the woman sitting in front of him, she looked very pitiful in that moment,
even he couldn't feel
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;something upon seeing her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt; &#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Mr. Fox's gaze went blur, then he took a deep puff of his cigarette, as if he was trying to smoke away
his emotions.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry was trembling all over, after a while, she looked at him, "If I agree, will I really see him?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yes!" His voice was deep and hoarse, “Don't you want to see him?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Will I see him after tonight?” Sherry needed to make sure.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"That depends on your performance, to be honest, that's not quite settled!" Mr. Fox's eyes looked as if
he was smiling, “Three
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;months, be my woman for three months!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You..” She was stunned.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"This is very fair, you can choose not to do so, nobody is forcing you! But then again, I guess you will
never see your son
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;again, if this is what you can live with!”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;When she heard his words, she felt suffocated, her head went blank, "You are blackmailing me!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Miss, this is a deal, not blackmailing. I am a business man, do you think a business man would run
any deals at loss? Am I right?” Mr. Fox leaned forward, his eyes fixated on hers.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;".. She was speechless, she wanted to rip off the mask from his face.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Miss, if you don't want to take the deal, you should leave!" Mr. Fox was getting impatient, "I still got
other things to do, I don't
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;have the time to waste here!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry felt humiliated, and turned her face to the side, not allowing herself to cry, "I won't take the deal,
but I want to see my
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;child!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She said helplessly, "tf you don't let me see him, I will follow you everywhere!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt; &#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Why would you do that?” He giggled, "There is nobody in this house except for you and me, aren't you
afraid I might do something to you if you follow me?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You!" Sherry knit her brows, his words made her blush. She stared at him, his mask was just as
hateful as the person under it!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You hate me?" He raised his brow.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yes! I do, I hate you!” She yelled.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Alright, go ahead!" He laughed.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry lowered her head, she could feel scorching hot eyes on her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Get over here!” He demanded, and patted on the couch next to him.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry's heart trembled, and she shook her head.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt; &#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Alright, then you can stay here, I will leave!” Mr. Fox got up, "I will give you one day to think about it,
tomorrow night, if you cannot give me an agreement, then I won't be so sure to see you again!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;When he said that, he turned to leave.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry was scared, and yelled behind him, "Sir, please don't go, I want to see my son!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;But, he had already opened the door, and left without looking back.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The villa was covered in silence, Sherry ran after him, but the Bentley had already left.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry felt as if someone ripped her heart out of her chest, and then filled the hole with ice.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She cried.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She felt the overwhelming emotions of helplessness and pain, and she finally couldn't control herself
anymore, she cried out
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;loud, why was it so hard for her to see her own child? Why was he humiliating her?&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry didn't know how she got back, and this night, she had insomnia again!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;In the office.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Coffee!" The deep voice came thought the phone.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry shook her head to catch her own thoughts again, she in no mood that day, still thinking about
Mr. Fox's words from the
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;night before.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She brewed the coffee and brought it to William, as she was about to leave, she heard him ask, "Didn't
sleep well last night?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Hm!" Sherry trembled, and chose to keep quiet, but he seemed to be more interested.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Why didn't you sleep?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt; &#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry raised her eyes to look at him.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Her eyes were hurting, she had cried too much last night, and sat alone on the mountain road for too
long, it took her forever
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;to find a taxi home, and when she got Sherry froze, she almost forgot to breath, she didn't expect for
William to give her half the day off, he was always very strict, why was he so nice today? She said
immediately, "Mr. Rowland, there is no need, it won't affect my work!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Go home! If you do something wrong, the company will have to pay for the losses!" He said coldly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“There is really no need, I can do it!" In her previous position, she used to work a lot, it was almost
normal for her to only
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;sleep two or three hours a night.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Sherry, are you purposely annoying me?" William raised his brow, he sounded impatient.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“No, I am not!" She said, then took a step back, she was too close to William, even though they had
kissed a few times, but &#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;he was still her boss. She wouldn't overthink it, but when he came over worried about her, she was
thankful to him.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;William saw her step back, and smiled, but he didn't notice it himself, "Then go home and sleep it off!
Do as I say!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;His gentle words were alarming, but Sherry felt a twitch in her heart, she decided to resign from the
position after the WVL
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;deal.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;William saw that she was drifting off, he looked at her with mixed feelings, "Go home and rest!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Thank you Mr. Rowland, I will leave now!” Sherry said very thankful, turned and left.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;William squinted his eyes as he watched her leave, a smile on his face, and his eyes lit up.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry couldn't sleep though, she was tossing and turning the whole afternoon, then she called the
kindergarten again to tell &#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;them she won't be able to pick Daniel.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;That night, she was going to see Mr. Fox again, she knew, that she couldn't run anymore.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She knew that she couldn't hide, and she knew that night, she would lose herself again! She felt her
heart sink.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;At 9 o'clock in the evening.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry went to the same address as the night before, and knocked on the door, when it opened, the
same man with the same
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;mask appeared, only in a different suit.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry followed him inside.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Mr. Fox sat on the couch and lit a cigarette, he looked elegant like a prince.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After a while of silence, she finally said, "I will take the deal, if you promise I will see my son”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Three months, if you do it well, you will see him! All depends on yourself!" His deep voice said, but his
words, were stinging
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;like knives in her heart.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry bit her lips, and nodded.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“And another thing, in these three months, you are not allowed to be close to any other man, I like my
women to be clean, do
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;you understand?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She was still biting her lip, without saying anything. She had never had a man, except for William
kissing her, and this Mr. Fox.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Say yes!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Okay, I won't!" She replied, her voice hoarse, almost about to cry.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt; &#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He heard her voice, and stared at her lowered head, "Come here!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She took a step forwards, very slowly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He then grabbed her and pulled her to him, she screamed out in surprise, and landed in his arms, she
looked up to him, while
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;he looked down at her, through his mask, he fiercely stared into her eyes.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He saw her red swollen eyes, blood vessels were covering them, tears ran down her cheeks.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Why are you crying?" He asked annoyed.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Her face was leaned against his chest, he felt the pain rising in her, and Sherry couldn't control her
sobs anymore.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“I hate you, I hate you!" She cried, then she turned, and bit Mr. Fox in his shoulder.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She was filled with pain and humiliation!&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She bit hard, but Mr. Fox showed no reaction, he said nothing while carrying her to the upper floor. She
felt a deja vu as if she
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;was back in that night five years ago, when she was just as helpless.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She finally tasted blood, the she let go of him crying, on his shirt she could see the bloody marks of her
teeth.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
