The Price of His Dignity

To scrape together the money for my sister’s treatment, I became Vivian Grant’s contracted lover for three years.

For three years, I came whenever she called and threw away every last shred of dignity.

I thought that as long as I was obedient enough and knew my place, I would eventually warm her heart.

Until that charity gala, when I heard her chatting with her best friend, her voice full of contempt.

“Liam Reed?”

“He’s just a little toy I keep around with money, nothing more. He’s very obedient. Give him some cash and he’ll go away.”
