The villa was built on the cliff, and the wind was cold.
Thunder boomed in the sky overhead, and raindrops crashed against the windows.
Lucille sat on the edge of the bed, her hands trembling as she buttoned up her shirt.
The mess on the bed and the red marks on her chest and neck were a sure sign that there had been some crazy sex.
Depression and anger were what Lucille was feeling.
Three years ago, she slapped this man three times on face, and left like a real princess.
But today, he was the only one she could beg for help... even the price was herself.
......
Bang—
The bathroom door was pushed open, and a tall man came over.
Lucille shivered as she buttoned the last button.
Then she raised her head.
The man who wore wearing a bath towel around his waist was lazily leaning against the French window.
He held a cigarette in his hand and stared at her with dark eyes, half smiling.
He had just taken a bath, and the drops ran down his muscles and slid into his towel.
This man was aggressively sexy.
This man was the Christian - a well-known and notorious business genius.
He was known as the best "sniper" in the business world. He gave consultation service that's worth millions of dollars.
For some, he was a Saviour who saved their companies from bankruptcy. But for others, he was the Death who killed their business with one sharp shoot.
Tycoons from all kinds of industries were lining up to beg him to work for them.
......
Lucille regarded him as her last straw. Two hours ago, she escaped from the Lin's Villa.
At that place, she was imprisoned by her stepmother Bianca and her husband Kevin. They stole Lin's company, abused her father to death and tortured her for one year.
While suffering, her father kept telling her, "Find Christian. Find him! He was our last hope!"
Christian.
Her teeth chattered as she said his name.
Lucille didn't dare to look at him again. She lowered her head and said weakly,
"Mr. Breslin, I gave you what you wanted. Please... help me get the Lin Group back."
"Look at you, Miss Lin. Didn't you used to be proud and arrogant?"
Christian laughed scornfully and took a drag on his cigarette.
"Did you forget how you slapped me three times and said—. You remember? Miss Lin. You said Doves don't mate with crows.
You wouldn't be with me even if you were broke."
"And then, you lay naked under me, begging me to help you. How ironic."
He looked at her through a haze of smoke. He looked casual, but his eyes were fierce.
Suddenly, he added, "You used to be a bit of a beauty, but what about you now? I feel like I'm losing out by having sex with you, and you even ask me to help you? Heh."
"..."
His sarcasm sent shivers down her spine and she subconsciously covered her face.
Her once beautiful face was now covered with countless scars, which made her no longer look like a 23-year-old girl.
It was all because of her stepmother and husband.
Lucille slowly rose from her soreness and knelt on the ground.
Knees and head, all on the floor.
Once again, she shattered her dignity and pride to please the demon in front her.
"Mr. Breslin, I'm really sorry for what I did to you. Please forgive me and help me. Please..."
Lucille slapped herself hard in the face as she spoke, her eyes as red as blood.
She must get Christian to help her.
She must make her stepmother and husband pay a heavy price!
Seeing this, Christian narrowed his eyes and his smile died.
Even her breath was trembling.
When she kowtowed, he could see her waist, slim and soft like a spring willow leaf.
She had been dancing since she was a child.
That made him feel thirsty.
The next second, he put out his cigarette and threw her on the big bed.
It was another round of sex.
Crazy and intense.
Outside the window, the storm was heavier, with the rumbling of thunder.
......
In the end, he stood up and was about to leave.
Lucille, who was lying on the bed, trembled as she grabbed his arm.
"Mr. Breslin, can you help me now?"
Hearing this, Christian bent over and pinched her chin, like playing with a toy.
He smiled coldly and said cruelly,
"Help? Miss Lin, I should get you a mirror. I had sex with you as a favor to you."
