*kathryn's POV*

Flashing a saucy grin at the doorman, I sauntered through the foyer of Court's apartment block. Entering the lift, I pressed P for penthouse on the panel and waited while the elevator took me up to the top floor.

Using the key that one of Blaine's guys had gotten me, I opened the heavy wood door to Court's apartment and walked in. The apartment was empty, just like I had expected it to be. Excellent. Court was going to get a hell of a surprise when he came home.

Making myself comfortable on the plush leather sofa, I waited for Court to return. Before long, I heard the key turning in the lock, and Court came in.

"Kathryn," he exclaimed, a mixture of surprise and elation on his face.

"Hi Court," I purred. "No welcome kiss for me?"

A smile spread across his face and he came towards me. Pressing my mouth against his, he began to kiss me, his tongue exploring my mouth hungrily. But before he could go any further, I pushed him away and stood up.

"That's enough,Court. I want you to do something."

"Anything Kathryn, anything you want is yours. Now can we pick up where we left off?"

"No." The bastard was in dire straits and he could still promise me anything I wanted? Fucking liar, I sneered inwardly.

"A very reliable source that has informed me that you're running pretty low on finances. I have a proposition for you. I want you to help me take my revenge on Cecile Caldwell and once I've destroyed her, the money is yours."

A superior smirk crossed his face. "And if I say no?"

"You won't, Court. From what I hear, you owe some rather nasty guys a tidy little sum. My guess is if you don't pay them back, you'll be lying dead in a ditch somewhere, and I don't think you'd like that to happen would you?"

"All right, I'm in," he said, sighing in defeat. "But how will I know that you'll pay me after I've helped you?"

"You don't. But in the meantime, this should tide you over for awhile." I tossed a cheque in his lap and headed for the door. "See you Court, I'll be in touch."

***************************************************************

Sitting on the chaise lounge of our hotel suite, I smirked in satisfaction as I watched Cecile and Court going at it on the TV screen. Just then, Cecile let out a deafening scream as she rode Court to what appeared to be an earth shattering climax.

Rolling my eyes in disbelief, I wondered how on earth that was possible. Court was the lousiest fuck in Manhattan. Believe me, I knew.

It had been three weeks since I paid Court that visit in his apartment and everything was going smoothly. That boy was holding up his end of the bargain pretty well. If everything went according to plan, I would have Cecile Caldwell exposed as the slut of Manhattan and thrown out on the streets by her mother by the end of the month.

Aside from the six figure donations that I made anonymously to various charities, there was also the money I was paying Blaine's men and Court. Not to mention the people I had to have bought off. Revenge was going to be costly. I wondered fleetingly if I had enough. Correction, if Sebastian had enough. My mother had cut me off when I had fallen from grace. Just another thing to make her pay for, I thought to myself.

Then I dismissed the thought as quickly as it had appeared in my mind. Sebastian had assured me that he had enough money in his Swiss bank account that rivalled the annual turnover of some of the most profitable companies in the world. And once I had gotten my revenge, I would have more money than I could spend in my lifetime.

Suddenly, the door opened and Sebastian walked in. "Back so soon? I thought you'd gone to have lunch with the board of directors in your dad's company."

"I changed my mind. I'd much rather stay in and fuck you senseless."

I grinned. Watching Cecile and Court, however unimaginative they were, had begun to turn me on.

"I'm glad of that," I purred as Sebastian took me by the hand and led me to the room.
