Sinful Bargain
She stared at the man inside the room which was supposed to be hers, her face perplexed and hurt, “I don’t understand a bit of all you said mister. Can you please excuse me out of my room?”, she asked the stranger who was standing in front of her smiling with his teeth visible. “Excuse me, did you hear a single word I said?”, she asked him again. “Sorry miss, I think you might have gotten it all wrong.
