Her mother's scheme granted her a wild one night stand with a stranger. But as soon as the sun rose, her family's debts were paid off, and everyone disappeared on her. At that time, she found herself miserably abandoned. Five years later, she had already become a famous painter once she returned to hold a low-key art exhibition in town. Meanwhile, he was the most successful man in the city, a big shot in the business world. She thought she had nothing to do with him but was forced into his life. The moment she showed up with the child, he remembered the shy girl from five years ago. He had been looking for her since that night and wasn't willing to let her go this time.
Tina Lian was standing in front of the presidential suite, looking tensed than ever.
Her mind darted to the thought of Jason Lian in the hospital. If she didn't get into the suite, she wouldn't get the money and her beloved brother would die.
Although she had a lot of hesitation, she took a deep breath after a while and opened the door.
The interior was dark. Light came through the hallway.
She still couldn't believe how in the world a mother could be so heartless to sacrifice her daughter to save her son and family.
"Miss Lian, please come in!" After signing the contract, Nathan Qiao, the assistant to the president of the Xiang Group, was waiting for Tina Lian in the suite.
Tina Lian observed the assistant carefully, who was operating the phone in his hand. Maybe he was transferring the money to her mother's account since she was already here. He gave her a quick glance before sending a text to the CEO to report the situation.
"Is it you?" Tina Lian knew she shouldn't have asked that, but she couldn't help it.
It took her a lot of courage to take this step and come here. If she didn't even know who the man she was going to sleep with was, it would be worse than death for her.
"No." There was no need to explain anything to her. So, he reached for her hand, grabbed it and pulled her further into the suite.
He might look slim, but his strength was not by any means little. Leaving her confused and flabbergasted, he walked out of the suite and closed the door behind him. All of it happened so quickly that she barely got any time to react.
The door closed with a soft thud and locked itself. A moment later when she came back to senses, Tina Lian quickly went to the door and tried to open it, but to no avail. She couldn't believe that he had locked her in the dark room.
"Why did you lock me here? Hello? Anyone listening to me?" It didn't matter if the CEO was rich and powerful, he just couldn't do this to her. She couldn't do this anymore.
But there was no answer from the other side. All she heard was a terrible silence surrounding her. She slammed on the door frame countless of times, but it was useless.
"Bastard! Don't leave!" As the room was already dark, the minimum light that was coming through the hallway was blocked once the door got closed.
"Since you're here now, why don't you just sit quietly, take your time and think about tonight?" Nathan Qiao muttered to himself not caring what she said. Then he disappeared from the spot with a satisfied smile on his face.
He had been searching for a girl who his boss might be interested in. It had been a long time now.
Although he didn't know if his boss would like Tina Lian, he had to take the shot.
Without a room card, she couldn't go out of the room, and there was no other password to crack it.
After a while, she got tired of banging on the door numerous time.
She collapsed on the floor, pulling her knees closer to her chest and leaned on the door hopelessly as a whimper left her. "Jason, your sister is useless." She just wanted to escape from here, but she couldn't.
Meanwhile, Eric Xiang, the CEO of the Xiang Group, had been drinking in the club till eleven o'clock.
He was still sober even after drinking so much.
After having another round of drinks, his bodyguards escorted him to the elevator. They reached the presidential suite and Eric Xiang motioned for the bodyguards to open the door. A bodyguard took out the card and swiped it before Eric Xiang stepped forward and pushed the door. But it didn't open.
He frowned at first, then realized the reason and sneered.
With a stronger force, he pushed the door. A loud noise of something falling on the floor came.
"Mr. Xiang!" The bodyguards wanted to go inside and to have a look.
But Eric Xiang waved a dismissive hand gesture, trying to convey that the situation was in his control. They need not go and see.
Eric Xiang understood that there was no other person in the suite but a stupid woman.
The bodyguards took the hint and took a few steps back. They just stood at the door, guarding the suite.
They knew that the consequences wouldn't be good if they dared to break Eric Xiang's rules.
"Who are you?" It was not until Tina Lian woke up from her sleep that she realized she was being carried by someone. The person didn't respond.
Before she could ask anything again, the person threw her on the bed. She fell on the bed with a loud thump.
Eric Xiang pulled on to his tie impatiently and irritably. She was not heavy, but she was stupid!
The effect of alcohol started kicking in and he felt hot. It made him a little palpitating. He needed to vent the heat radiating from his body immediately.
Watching his absurd actions, Tina Lian, who was half-lying on the bed, frowned severely. "Ahh!" Now, she was completely awakened by this strange man's presence.
So, this was the man she was meant to sleep with? He leaned forward towards her ear as his warm breath fell on her bare neck. She could distinctly smell the scent of strong alcohol from him. This compromising gesture made her tremble visibly.
"Woman, do you like this?"
Eric Xiang was both slightly annoyed and amused at her stupidity. How could she fall asleep at the door? Was that one of her stupid habits? He was amused that he could accept a stupid woman like her. It was a rare case that he liked her.
Eric Xiang wasn't even horny but he wanted to play with her some more.
"No, no! I...I haven't taken a shower!" Tina Lian stammered and tried to cover herself more modestly by pulling on the old T-shirt she was wearing.
Tonight, he was in a good mood, but didn't mean his physical needs weren't there. It became too obvious as he clutched onto her worn out T-shirt and ripped it away from her skin.
She screamed, "No!" Tina Lian felt flustered and angry that she couldn't struggle against the strong man who was now behind her.
His sharp black eyes shone in the darkness. She was indeed different from all the women who took the initiative before.
"Please,
don't do this to me. I'll pay you back, I promise! Let me go!" Tina Lian now felt threatened and at this man's mercy. She would rather borrow a loan than face this man.
However, He was having none of it.
"It's too late!" Eric Xiang muttered. His patience was running out.
Mia's life is spiraling out of control. Abandoned by her mother, bullied mercilessly at school, and thrown into a household of four dangerously attractive stepbrothers, she's desperate to find her footing. "You look absolutely edible," Sean growled, his eyes devouring her. Mia felt a rush of heat between her thighs "Oh, you think so?" she purred, turning to face him. She reached out and traced her fingers along the ribbon that wrapped around his waist. "Well, I've been waiting for this all day. And I'm starving." Sean's smile grew into a predatory grin. "Then let us feast," he said, and in a flash, the ribbon fell away, exposing his rock-hard length. He stepped closer, and Mia felt the warmth of his breath on her face as he whispered, "You're going to take every inch of us tonight, aren't you?" With Rolex's teasing smirk and Sean's quiet, hot stares, Mia doesn't know where to turn-or who to trust. Every glance, every touch leaves her breathless, confused, and craving more than she should. Will Mia survive their games, or will she lose herself in a dangerous world of secrets, seduction, and forbidden desire? One house. Four brothers. Endless temptation.
