| No Happy Endings Summary: Court gets a surprise at work thanks to Kathryn. Chapter 3: Delicious Revenge "No it's fine, I'll just get one of the little office drones to cover. I'll meet you on the coarse in an hour." "Keeping busy?" Court looked up from his desk and saw Kathryn standing by the door with a small smile on her face. He was surprised to say the least. After the previous night he was sure Kathryn would never go near him again, but here she was standing in his office wearing one on her short little skirts. "Kathryn, this is a surprise. I thought you would be pissed after last night." She walked over to the chair across from him and sat down. "Oh I was but I got over it. I understand that you really weren't yourself." Court smiled, surprised by her change in attitude. "I knew you would understand. You know I didn't mean what I said Kat I was just thrown by you marring Valmont. I would never guess in a million years that you two would get together." "Yes it came as quite a shock to everyone." "So what brings you by today?" "Well I missed you Court and I thought maybe we could have lunch or something today" she replied in a sexy voice. Kathryn got up from her seat and slowly walked over to the desk and leaned against it. As she stood next to him Court got a good view of just how short her skirt was and how soft her legs where. He could feel his dick growing as he thought of all the things he use to do to her and all the things he wanted to do. He wondered if she was still easy. Probably. Valmont was most likely boring her all ready and she was looking for a good time. Well he would be more than happy to give her one. "I missed you too Kathryn." He placed his hand on her thigh and massaged it. He was surprised when she didn't attempt to move his hand away. "Lunch?" He grinned at her "why don't we eat in?" Before Kathryn could answer Court's secretary Margie burst into the room. Court glared at her angrily "what the fuck do you want?" "Sir, Mr. Phillips and the board just called an emergency meeting. They said it was imperative that come right away." "Fine" Court groaned as he got up. He didn't want to go and leave Kathryn especially when she was so willing to give into him, but this was business. "Can you wait here? I'm sure this will only be a few minutes." "Sure I'll be waiting" * * * * * * "You can't fire me! I'm the CEO!" After several minutes of politeness the board had finally disclosed the real reason they had called this meeting. They were letting him go because apparently the stocks hadn't been progressing the way they had hoped. Like that was his fault. No way was he leaving without a fight. "Court we have been discussing this for sometime. The company isn't where it should be. And we have reached a consensus that it would be best for everyone if we replaced you." "But I'm in charge. You can't just vote me out!" "Yes we can if we have enough votes. I'm sorry Court." "I can sue! My father is one of the top lawyers in the country. You can't just drop me because you don't like the work I'm doing. I haven't even been at this job that long." "Court I think you know the real reason for this." "No I don't. What's the real reason?" "It has to do with your little problem. It's getting out of hand." "What little problem." "The drugs and alcohol. It's been getting worse. You were completely drunk at the Valmont party the other night and I even overheard you attacked one of the guests. You're lucky they didn't press charges. If this got leaked to the press it wouldn't look good for the company and I think your father would agree. I'm sorry Court but we would like you to leave right away." Court's head was reeling form all of this. His little problem? He drank only as much as the next guy and who exactly did he attack? "This is bullshit. I don't have a drinking problem and I don't do drugs. I don't know where you're getting this. And I certainly didn't attack anyone at that party. They're lying." "We heard it from a very reliable source." "Yeah right. I'm going to fight this" he walked out of the room and headed to his office. He wouldn't let them get rid of him so easily. When he approached his office he noticed that the door was wide open which was strange because he never left it open. When he stepped inside there were about five people in there moving his things. "What the hell do you think your doing?' A young guy about his age looked up at him "we were told to remove your things." "By who?" "That would be me" Kathryn who had been sitting in his chair facing the wall, swung around to face him. He had almost completely forgotten about her. "Baby, what are you talking about? Why would you have them get rid of my things?" "Jesus, you're a moron. No wonder you got fired." "How did you know I got fired? And why did you tell them to move my stuff." "Because I don't want it in MY office." "Your office?" "Yes Kathryn is our new CEO" Phillips said as he came up behind him. "What! You're replaying her with me?" "Yes" replied Kathryn as she got up from her seat and walked up to him. "Before my father passed away it was always his dream that I take over where he left off." Court snickered "you don't know anything about running a company." "Actually my father taught me everything I needed to know before he died. Remember how I use to come to the office with him once a week? He used the time to show me how things work. I learned pretty fast and I was helping him run things right up until his death. I was always planning on coming back as soon as I finished school." "You bitch! You knew about this the whole time! Coming in here apologizing for last night-" "Apologizing?" Kathryn interrupted "Why would I apologize? You're the one who attacked me. Court have you been drinking again?" "Drinking?" It suddenly dawned on him where the board had gotten the idea that he was a drunk. She had done it. Kathryn had done it all, even telling them he had attacked her. They had of course believed her because she was the almighty Kathryn Merteuil. Perfect in every way, she who could do no wrong. She was the reason he was fired and she was the reason he would be humiliated Monday morning. "You goddamn bitch!" Court screamed as he lunged for her. "You did this to me! You lying, whoring, cunt!" Before Court could get his hands on her he felt two strong sets of hands on him, pulling him away. Court recognized them as belonging to security. Kathryn backed away from him quickly wearing a horrified expression on her face. "Court I'm sorry I never meant to hurt you" she replied softly. "I'm going to get you for this, you and your fucking husband! Your dead understand me?!" "Court that is enough" Philips replied. "Take him out of here now and Court I don't want to here about you harassing her or else I'll involve the police in this." "Fuck you! I mean it Kathryn you're fucking dead!" As Court screamed obscenities at the newly appointed CEO he was dragged from the office and thrown out. * * * * * * As Kathryn arrived home she was nearly giddy with delight. Her day had gone even better than expected. She arrived early at the company for the secret board meeting. She had announced to them her intentions to take her fathers place and also causally mentioned Court and his drinking problem. They were more than willing to vote her in as CEO especially when she let it drop that Court had attacked her last night. They had bought every last word of it. Kathryn has then gone to Courts office and apologized for turning him down the other night. Fucking idiot was more than willing to believe that she still wanted him. Thank god the board had called the meeting when they did she didn't think she would be able to handle Courts hands on her one moment longer. When Court was away Kathryn had called the office assistance's in to take out his stuff. His reaction when he returned had been priceless. It took him forever to figure out what was going on and when he finally did it had been worth it. The asshole had completely lost it! Screaming, swearing, threatening her. He had even tried to take a swing at her with other people present no less. She should really consider suing him for that. It would be fun to kick him when he was down. Kathryn now had everything she wanted. The job, the husband, the house, everything was falling into place. As she entered her new home she asked one of the maids if Sebastian was in yet but they said he had called and told them to tell her he would be running late. That was perfect for what she had planned. Kathryn was in such a good mood that she decided she would give Sebastian a little welcome home surprise in the form of her in a little black nighty. Kathryn went to her bedroom and quickly changed into the nightgown and put on a small robe over it. She went to the kitchen to get some wine and when she returned there was someone waiting for her: Court. "Hey, cutie. We need to talk." - to be continued No Happy Endings Summary: After Court and Kathryn have a violent confrontation, Sebastian decides to seek revenge. Chapter 4: Surprise Attacks "What the fuck are you doing here? How did you get in?" When Kathryn returned from the kitchen she was more than a little surprised to find Court in her bedroom. Actually angry might be a better word. He was lying on her bed like he belonged there wearing a cocky grin. Staring at the phone next to the bed, she wondered if she could call security from there. "We need to straighten a few things out first. Like how you set me up today." "It was business Court get over it. My father always planned on leaving the company to me and you know it." "Actually" he said as he got off the bed "I believe he was going to leave it to you only if you married me. I wonder what daddy would say now if he heard you decided to marry your brother instead." "Fuck you! It's mine deal with it and get the fuck out!" Court laughed at her and even though they were at least five feet apart Kathryn could smell the alcohol on his breath. She really didn't like dealing with him when he was drunk. She decided if he wouldn't leave she would and she turned for the door. Although he had been drinking Court was still pretty fast and he managed to get to the door before her, blocking her way. "I don't think so Kat" he said with a sneer as he closed the heavy door behind him. "We're not finished here just yet." Kathryn backed away slowly from him. She refused to be intimidated by him but part of her was a little scared. She knew what he was capable of when he was drunk and it wasn't pretty. "What do you want Court?" "Oh I think you know what I want." He slowly began to approach her. She laughed harshly "do you really think that's going to happen?" "Look at you Kat, you look scared. Don't worry it will only hurt for a moment." Kathryn was fed up with his intimidation tactics and ran to the door. Court quickly grabbed her and pulled her back to him, then pulled her into a kiss. She tried to push him away the best she could but he was much stronger than her. She could taste the alcohol on his breath and it was starting to make her sick. When he finally pulled away Kathryn hit him in the face and yelled "get away from me!" Court responded by backhanding her hard across the face. It hurt like hell but Kathryn refused to cower away. She quickly got up and spat in his face. "You bitch! I'm going to teach you not to fuck with me." Court grabbed her and threw her on the bed. She struggled underneath him but it was no use. He outweighed her by a hundred pounds and he pinned her wrists underneath her. "Just hold still and you'll enjoy it." Court's free hand went under her nightgown and into her panties. He roughly began to finger her. "Get off of me! Stop it Court, I fucking hate you!" "Be quiet, we wouldn't want anyone interrupting us would we?" Court began to unbutton his pants and pull his small but hard dick out. Kathryn knew what was coming and realized she had to do something quick. She let out a loud piercing scream right next to Courts eardrum. "Shut up!" He pulled his hand away from her wrists and slammed it against her mouth. Kathryn quickly bit his hand and he screamed in pain. She used the opportunity to push him off and ran to the door. She escaped the room and ran down the stairs screaming for one of the maids to call the police. Court came down the stairs after her, zipping up his pants. "Hey there's no need for that" "Get the fuck out of my house now! If you ever come near me again I'll have your ass in jail so fast-" "Ok, ok I'm leaving. I'll see you around Kat." He walked by her with a cocky smile and exited the house. After he left Kathryn walked over to the bar and poured herself a drink. She was still shaking from what happened and she needed something to calm her down before Sebastian returned. "Are you all right madam?" Kathryn looked up and saw one of the maids staring at her with concern. She could just imagine what this all looked like. "I'm fine" "Would you like me to get you some ice?" She was confused at first what she was talking about until she remebered the stabbing pain coming from her cheek. Kathryn brought her hand to her now bruising face and wondered how bad it looked. What the hell was she going to tell Sebastian? * * * * * * Sebastian returned home ten minutes later. He had a busy day at work of dealing with annoying temperamental models and there agents. All he wanted to do was curl up with his wife in there bed. As he entered the living room one of the maids handed him his mail. He was sifting through it when another came in. He asked "is Kathryn home?" "Umm yes. Sir I think you should know there was a young man here earlier. I'm not sure how he got in but he went to talk with your wife. I think they got in an argument and he might of...umm...hurt her." "What?" Sebastian asked in disbelief. "Who was he?" "A young man, about your age. Tall with dark hair-" "Where's Kathryn?" He asked as he dropped the mail and ran upstairs. He heard the maid yell something at him about her not letting them call the police but he really didn't care. All he cared about was helping his wife. As he threw open the bedroom door, he saw Kathryn sitting on the floor next to the bed. She jumped at the noise but quickly relaxed when she saw it was him. He ran to her "what happened? Are you ok?" "I'm fine. Which one of them squealed?" Sebastian put his arms around her and held her close. "They said he hurt you" "No, it's nothing" Sebastian pulled her hair away from her face and saw the red mark that was starting to bruise on her face. "Oh shit, he hit you? I'm going to fucking kill him. Tell me everything that happened." Kathryn smiled slightly "I was elected CEO. I think he was a little pissed about that." Kathryn laughed a little and touched her face "or maybe he was very pissed." "How did he get in?" "I'm not sure. I went to the kitchen and when I got back he was in our room. I told him to leave and we fought, he hit me then..." "Then what" Sebastian probed gently. He had a terrifying feeling about what came next. If Court did what he thought he did he would kill him. "He umm...threw me on the bed and tried to...I mean he didn't...he just grabbed me and stuff then I got away." "What do you mean by stuff?" She sighed "I don't want to go into it, but he didn't get a chance to do what you think so calm down." "I won't calm down! He hurt you Kathryn, he's not going to get away with this." Kathryn stood up suddenly "of course he won't, but I don't want you treating me like I'm some sort of victim. I can handle myself." Sebastian got up from the floor "I know you can baby. It's just that I hate the idea of him hurting you in some way. I'm not going to let him go near you again." Sebastian hugged her and kissed her forehead. After a minute he asked "do you want me to call the cops?" "No!" Kathryn said as she pulled away from him. "That's the last thing I need. I don't want anyone else finding out about this I mean it Sebastian. I just got this job and if people find out what went down with me and Court I would be humiliated." "Fine, but I'm not letting this go." Kathryn gave him a worried look "what are you going to do?" He wiped the hair out of her face "handle it. Don't worry about how. Are you tired? You must be, you had an exhausting day." She smiled up at him and nuzzled his neck "I'm not too tired. I was just about to take a nice relaxing bath. Want to join me?" Sebastian wanted to but he knew there was something he had to take care of first. He put his head out the door and yelled to one of the maids "run Kathryn a bath." "Right away sir" she told him as she went into the bathroom. He turned back to Kathryn who was looking at him expectantly. "I would like to do nothing more than climb in the bath with you and your gorgeous body, but there something I have to do first. I won't be long and when I return we can celebrate your victory, ok?" Kathryn pouted a little "fine, just promise me your not going to do anything stupid." "Of course not" "Can you at least help me get undressed first?" "Sure" he said with a smile. Sebastian slowly lowered the straps of her silky black nightgown and it fell to the floor silently. He admired her beautiful full breasts and let his hands trace over them gently, making her shiver. His hands then slowly made there way down to her lacy black underwear. He got down on his knees and pulled her underwear down with him. Letting his finger wander down her slit, he was happy to find her wet. Sebastian pushed her gently back onto the bed and opened her legs. He began licking and sucking on her swollen clit as his fingers moved quickly in and out of her. "Sebastian" she moaned softly as he replaced his fingers with his tongue. Knowing exactly what she liked, he made her come almost instantly. As her breathing resumed normally she asked "do you really have to go now?" He really didn't want to but he had to do this now or it would be bothering him all night. "I'll be back in a hour at the most." He realized the water had stopped running so he picked her up off the bed. He loved the feel of her small body in his arms. When he thought about what Court almost did to her it made him want to kill something, or someone. They got to the bathroom and the bathtub was full almost to the top. Sebastian slowly lowered his wife down into the hot water, not caring that his shirt was getting wet in the process. "I'll be back soon" "Ok, be careful" "I will, I love you" "I know" * * * * * * Sometime later Court was starting to sober up. After his meeting with Kathryn he had come home to have a victory drink. He had finally done it, he had managed to bring the ice queen down a notch. She had been so afraid, her little body shaking. He made her realize she wasn't invincible. After tonight she would understand that she couldn't fuck with him anymore. Court wasn't really worried about her telling anyone about what happened. It wouldn't look good to her society friends if they found out. They might start suspecting she deserved it, which would be right. It occurred to him that she might tell Valmont but what did he care. He could take Sebastian if he had to drunk or not. Instead of having another drink Court decided instead to go out. He was sure his father heard the news by now about his replacement and he was afraid he might call. He really didn't want a lecture right now from him telling him what a fuck up he was. What Court wanted to do was get even more drunk and maybe get laid. Leaving his apartment he was sure to lock the door and he headed down to the parking garage to pick up his car. He was fumbling with his keys when he thought he heard someone behind him. Court didn't bother to turn around, if he had he might of seen the two large men behind him before he was knocked to the ground. All Court remembered was the cement floor as his body hit it. The next thing he knew two sets of hands picked him up and held him in place. His vision was a little blurry from the hit but he could still make out the approaching figure. It was Valmont. He walked slowly and deliberately towards Court and said "hey, Reynolds. We need to talk." Court tried to struggle out of the grasp of the two large men's hands but couldn't. "Let me the fuck go!" "Oh like you did my wife? Did you let her go when she pleaded with you to? NO I don't think so" Sebastian then hit him hard in the gut making Court stumble back a little. The two men snickered. "Did you really think I was going to let you get away with that you piece of shit. You hit MY wife, you forced yourself on her. Tell me did you really think you were going to walk away from that?" "She was asking for it." That was the wrong thing to say. Valmont hit him once more in the gut and then again in the face. Court could feel the blood trickle off of his face. He once again tried to break the grasp of the two other men who held him but he couldn't budge. Sebastian grabbed him by his hair and forced him to look at him. He spoke in a menacing voice "listen to me asshole. You come near her again. I mean even look at her funny and I'll kill you. Understand? Now what these two gentlemen are about to do to you, this is just so you don't forget. If you do come near her again I'll have them finish the job." "What you can't take me yourself?" Sebastian hit him once more then laughed "I'd love to but you see I have a beautiful women at home who hates it when I keep her waiting." Sebastian hit him once more in the face then smiled. "I'll see you around Court. You guys have fun." Court's vision was starting to blur again as he watched Sebastian climb into his jag and drive off. He wondered if maybe her could make some sort of deal with the two men who were holding him. "Look guys I could pay you much better than Valmont-" Before he could get the sentence out one of the men hit him hard in the gut. His hit was much worse then Valmont's had been. The tall, black guy looked down at him and laughed "I don't think so. We're going to teach you it's not nice to hit little girls." That was the last thing Court remembered before he passed out. * * * * * * Meanwhile in a small house in Kansas Annette Hardgroves anger was building. In three days she was being sent back to that nut house that they called a hospital. The judge had granted her a small leave of absence to care for her ailing father. It had done no good, he had died two days ago of Cancer. They wouldn't even let her attend the funeral. Annette was now completely alone in the world. All of this had helped her anger grow more and more. The newspaper was what had pushed her over the edge. Her father had always got the New York papers delivered to the house ever since he took ill. He wanted to be caught up on everything there just in case he ever got better and returned. Annette always read them looking for possible sightings of him. She never saw one until that day. It was his wedding announcement. The article told of his elopement and the party that his father threw in honor of him and his new bride. A large picture also accompanied the article. It was of him and his new wife and the caption underneath it read: Photographer Sebastian Valmont and student Kathryn Mertueil were married in Barbados over a month ago. They are said to be very happy and look forward to a long life together. Annette wanted to rip the picture up but she couldn't. She still loved him and didn't want to ruin the only picture she had left of her beloved Sebastian. She knew she should hate him for leaving her for that bitch, but she couldn't. She still loved him and she knew they would be together someday. Maybe even someday soon. It was after reading that wedding announcement that Annette decided to escape. She couldn't just get up and leave because of the guards that were watching her 24/7. No if she wanted to leave she was going to have to find a legal way to do it. Since she didn't have the means to do it she would need a partner and she thought she had just the man for the job. After searching for a while she finally found his number and dialed it. She was disappointed when she got his voice mail but she decided to leave a message anyway. "Hello Court, this is Annette Hardgrove. We need to talk about some mutual friends." - to be continued |
