No Turning Back
**Kael**
She jumped up from her chair, even knocking the chair behind her, and looked at me with genuine horror, something that, once again, wouldn't earn my sympathy.
"Your money is still deposited in your account. You won't lose anything! You can even use it to do whatever you want and, if you wish, find another girl on the app the same way you found me."
"I don't want another one," I said calmly, not getting worked up by her outburst.
"I don't understand!"
"You don't need to understand anything right now. What's done is done, and there's no chance of going back."
She made an expression of immense sorrow, and I believe she even managed to shed a solitary tear. I knew those tears were pure pretense. She should have rehearsed at least a sob that was a little more convincing.
"Are you done?" I asked, looking at the untouched plate on the table, but I was also referring to her amateurish performance.
"How can I eat, knowing what's going to happen soon?"
"Let's go inside now. It's completely unnecessary to keep insisting on this matter."
I stood up, and she followed, despite her doubtful expression. Her acting began to shake my determination because it was unpleasant to be with someone who didn't want to be there. However, she did everything on her own. She created a fake profile on the app, used her best photos, and described herself as someone willing to do anything for money by selling her virginity. She fell into my trap faster than I expected.
Not satisfied, she also got carried away by the idea of an apartment in an upscale neighborhood to pretend to have a status she no longer possesses. Instead of investing the money in something that could help her in the future, like her own business, she chose an apartment that she couldn't even afford the condominium fees for without a well-paying job.
Two million dollars were tempting for someone who had lost everything, but principles should prevail. Rachel didn't hesitate and moved forward. Now it was time to face the consequences. Shirley came up with the idea for the app, and I took advantage of the scheme and had it created specifically for this trap.
After walking through long corridors, we arrived at the luxurious cabin I had prepared specifically for that night. It was an extravagance for the ambitious Rachel, accustomed to wealth in her upbringing. I awaited her reaction as I opened the door.
To my surprise, she didn't care about the surroundings. Her posture was defeated, something strange for someone like Rachel. If I didn't know about her manipulation, I might have believed her attempt to appear humble, although she didn't understand the true meaning of that word.
Upon closing the door, I noticed she trembled, which intrigued me.
"For someone who dared to sell their virginity on an app, you seem quite nervous. You should know that when we sell something, we need to have it delivered."
"Regardless of my nervousness, I'm here to face the consequences of what I decided to do." Finally, she was reacting and showed her true personality.
"But you don't seem willing at all."
"The only thing that matters is that I deliver what I sold, not the willingness with which I do it."
**Sarah**
After I attempted dialogue with the arrogant man, I realized his pettiness and cruelty, reveling in his pleasure of mistreating others. He was completely mistaken about my lack of willingness to fulfill the agreement. I hadn't sold anything, and it was understandable that I didn't want to proceed, although he didn't know that.
Either way, I decided to put myself in Rachel's shoes. Even if I couldn't convince him to abandon that madness, I knew I had to move forward, albeit reluctantly, as he pointed out. I looked around, feeling even more uncomfortable with the obligation to submit to a man who didn't even have the courtesy to create a fictional name, choosing to remain anonymous.
I understood his desire to remain incognito, but I couldn't comprehend his aversion to being with me and yet still wanting to proceed. When he closed the door, I realized it was time to face the consequences of Rachel's hasty actions. I promised myself that I wouldn't take responsibility for her actions anymore.
This would be the last time.
"Take off all your clothes," he commanded in a cold and mechanical tone as if he were talking about something simple and mundane.
"Now?" I asked, alarmed.
I had preferred not to think about the moment when I would be in a room with a man I would have to have sex with, but it never crossed my mind that he would simply ask me to undress, so mechanically and without even some... foreplay.
"I believe this is the appropriate time. Don't you agree?" he interrogated with a voice dripping with irony.
Insecurity engulfed me as I had never been completely naked in front of others before, and it wouldn't have been easy even with my twin sister, let alone with a cold and insensitive stranger like that man was showing himself to be.
"You thought I could take your virginity with you while still dressed?"
"I didn't think about that," I vehemently denied.
"Then, what are you waiting for to do as I told you?" His voice was as hard as steel.
"I thought that..." I couldn't finish the sentence because I knew he would be even harsher if I said what almost slipped from my lips.
"You thought it would be an act full of love? That I would be gentle?" He let out a mocking laugh that made me feel disgusted with that horrible man. "You chose the wrong character to come here tonight, girl."
"I don't understand what you mean."
"I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about. It's time to show your true face."
"I'm not acting here!" I exclaimed indignantly.
"If you prefer to go down that path, so be it."
