"Oceanview Hotel Room 808. Help me spend the night with the man inside, and I'll give you one million dollar to pay for your dying mother's medical treatment."
"Claire Boyd, you better think it over. If you don't agree, I promise no hospital in Rivertown will dare admit your mom."
The voice of her half-sister, Roxanne Boyd, is still echoing in Claire 's ears.
Claire's delicate face is pale as she tightly clutched the room key card.
Thinking of her suffering mother, she took a deep breath and opened the door.
The room is pitch black, so dark she couldn't see her hand in front of her face.
Claire 's heartbeat quickened, and her palms were slick with sweat.
"Is...is anyone there?" she moved forward in the dark and asked tentatively.
Before her voice could even fade, a heavy breathing sound came from beside her.
She is suddenly yanked into a scorching, solid embrace.
The burning touch from the man made Claire gasp. The next moment, her lips were captured in a searing kiss.
The fierce, domineering kiss overwhelmed her senses, leaving Claire with no choice but to endure the man's storm-like plundering.
"Don't worry, woman. I'll compensate you," the man's deep, husky voice murmured in her ear as she slipped into unconsciousness, her last sight being his strong, chiseled features.
"Don't—"
When Claire awoke, it is already deep into the night.
The man, exhausted, lay with his back to her, breathing evenly.
Claire's whole body ached. She winced as she moved, drawing a sharp breath.
She glanced at the time in a hurry. Not daring to delay any longer, she gritted her teeth to endure the pain, dressed quickly, and slipped out of the room in the dark.
"Why did it take so long? Is it done?" Roxanne blocked her the moment she stepped out.
Roxanne's face is full of displeasure at Claire's disheveled appearance.
She had been waiting outside the whole time with her legs nearly numb.
After all, the man inside had promised to make her famous if she spent the night with him.
She couldn't afford any mishaps.
"Yes." Claire nodded, raising her gaze coldly. "What about your end of the deal?"
Roxanne smirked, pulling out a card and waving it in front of her, confirming, "Are you sure he didn't see your face?"
"No." Claire's eyes stayed fixed on the card in Roxanne's hand, her mind only on her mother waiting for surgery in the hospital.
Roxanne, satisfied by Claire's miserable look, finally handed over the card. "You better keep tonight's events to yourself, or I'll make sure you regret it."
In the face of Roxanne's threat, Claire did not respond. She took the bank card and left without looking back.
After Claire left, Roxanne dared not delay.
She groped her way into the room and quickly stripped off her clothes and lay beside the man.
Once tonight is over, she would be famous.
With that thought, she couldn't help but turn up the corners of her mouth.
Thinking about it, Roxanne reached around from behind and embraced the man.
But in the next moment, the man who had been lying still suddenly opened his eyes.
In the darkness, his ink-black pupils glowed with a fierce storm. His hand clamped onto Roxanne's, his voice icy, "Did you save me?"
Roxanne paused slightly when she hearing a strange voice, suddenly realizing something and stammerring in a panic, "W-What, I…"
With a snap, the light in the room turned on. Stung by the piercing light, Jiang Click— The lights snapped on. Blinded by the sudden brightness, Roxanne shielded her eyes, and the man turned to face her.
It is then that Roxanne saw the man's face clearly.
The man before her had sword-like eyebrows and bright, starry eyes. His features were deep-set, and his gaze is sharp, exuding a murderous aura. His entire being radiated an air of noble aloofness and coldness.This wasn't the scruffy old man she had expected.
After a brief shock, Roxanne recognized the man.
It is Phyllis Austin!
Claire Boyd had slept with the wrong man and ended up with Phyllis Austin, the heir to the richest family!
