"From now on you're mine, Natalia," Lucas said, breaking the silence between us. Suddenly, I turned to him with a look of protest. "No! You got what you wanted last night, didn't you?! So the business between us is over," I pointed out, not wanting to make any business happen between us. I turned back towards the highway outside the window. "You think so? Unfortunately, I am currently your owner and you already agreed to that before you went on stage last night, right?!" Lucas said again, "There is no choice for you, Mrs. Alexandra but to agree to your contract with me." ** Lucas Cassano, Alpha, is known as the cold-hearted man. His reputation is impeccable, and he is wealthy and handsome, but no woman has ever managed to melt his heart. Even though he has Abigail as his Luna, he has never given his heart to any woman. Natalia Alexandra is a smart young woman who is struggling with the cost of caring for her comatose mother in the hospital. One night, she doesn't expect to go to a women's auction and end up in the hands of Lucas Cassano for two million dollars. The two agree to a secret relationship when Natalia discovers she is pregnant with Lucas' child. Can Natalia melt the Alpha's heart and change the destiny between them, or will Natalia's fate end like other women who tried to conquer the Alpha's heart, unrequited?
My heart was pounding like a wild horse running in a vast meadow. My palms are starting to sweat, and I've been nervous since half an hour ago. I squeeze the bright red dress I'm wearing tonight at the thighs as I sit on the edge of the king-size bed. I'm waiting for someone I don't know when to arrive in the luxurious suite of a downtown hotel, hoping that person can improve my career at the office soon.
I needed a promotion to better fund my life, and my assistant manager at the office was offering me that opportunity. I looked at the clock on my cell phone. It was eight o'clock at night and ten minutes, which was more than the allotted time for me to wait for the person who would negotiate with me and help me take some tests.
"Where is that person? Have I been tricked?" I restlessly asked myself. The dress I wore tonight was quite revealing. The assistant manager who offered me this opportunity said I should look stunning in front of the person giving me this fantastic opportunity.
Tired of being alone in this luxury suite, I explored the place. I knew that the nightly price of this luxury suite was equivalent to a few months, maybe even a year's salary. Being a contract employee in a big company was nothing to be proud of, as my employment status could be relinquished at any time, and I also had a short contract deadline.
Meanwhile, I had a mother who was in a coma in the hospital and needed medical money. I exhaled loudly, thinking of all the burdens I had to bear at 27.
The cold night wind made me reluctant to approach the balcony; I stopped a few steps away from the balcony door and then heard the door to this room open. I turned around and waited to see who would emerge from the bedroom. I was surprised by a handsome man with a sharp gaze that locked onto my movements.
Was he the man who would give me that good chance?
My common sense didn't answer, but my instinct told me he was the one.
"Congratulations, Miss Alexandra. You have the opportunity to have an unforgettable experience with me tonight. I will make you sweat tonight." The man stepped closer to me, each step setting off alarm bells in my head.
I was shocked by his vulgar words. I took a small step back to avoid the danger coming my way. This man's gaze seemed to strip me naked and made my body feel hot.
"I'm here to-"
"We're going to have fun tonight, darling; you don't have to doubt I'll fulfil my promise." The man managed to arrive before me without giving me a chance to go further. We were only an inch apart, and I could inhale the scent of his musk, which teased my nerves. An unfamiliar sensation ran through my body when his hand touched my waist and brought my body closer to his.
I couldn't avoid the kiss between us, but when his hands were about to undo the straps of my dress, I quickly moved away and created some distance.
No! It is wrong; this is not what I want.
"I'm here for the deal my boss told me, not for anything else." I stared at the man seriously without trying to blink. The man furrowed his brow momentarily, and I caught him not understanding what I was saying.
"A deal? Look, young lady, I'm also here because of a 1 million dollar deal with your boss. So, don't waste my time talking about unnecessary things, refusing for example." The man stuffed both hands into the pockets of his fine trousers, matching the slim fit suit that fit his body perfectly.
A figure full of charisma, strength and power capable of captivating any woman, but I didn't come to be the umpteenth woman for him. I was surprised by the value the man mentioned.
1 million dollars? What an asshole!
I couldn't escape his reach because I was shocked by the man's words. That quickly grabbed my body and carried me to the bed.
"Hey, put me down! What do you want? I didn't come here to sleep with you! I'm here to-"
My lips were again silenced by a kiss that damn well left me speechless for several minutes. The touch of the man's hand beneath my dress was intoxicating, making my heart beat rapidly, and my blood sing in my veins as I welcomed this unfamiliar sensation.
When I had the presence of mind to stop this man from stripping me, I inched back from him on this spacious bed and pulled the covers up to cover my already half-exposed body.
"The deal is not like this. But if you want to talk again about my offer I'm willing." I looked at the man with an earnest gaze, confused and also scared.
We were silent for a moment, staring at each other. I waited anxiously, holding the blanket in front of my chest.
"Alright, then, let's renew the deal. I'll give you 2 million dollars and 3 requests from you, but in exchange, you have to give birth to a child for me, and that child will be mine." The man looked at me with a sharp gaze. My heart seemed to want to jump out at the crazy offer.
But 2 million dollars?! That's a lot of money, and it can solve my mother's medical problem in no time at all; plus, there are three requests I can make. However, bearing a child for him was impossible unless I was foolish enough to give myself entirely to this man I did not know but felt familiar with.
"How about it, young lady? That is my best offer to you. If you refuse, there will be consequences." The man was cheating, and I, who this situation had trapped, had to try to get out in one piece.
"What are the consequences?"
The man smiled with a smile that contained cunning.
"You have to reimburse one million dollars from the deal I made with your boss because you rejected me." So quickly and calmly did the man say it, and my body instantly stiffened. I didn't know how much money I would ever accumulate with my current job.
I swallowed compulsively. It wasn't fair, but I was here now, and the only choice I could make was to accept the new deal, as I couldn't recoup one million dollars.
I wanted to cry, but my tears couldn't come out; I could only stare at this blanket blankly.
"What if it turns out that I can't give you a child later?" That question suddenly popped into my mind, and I wanted to ask it.
The man inched closer to me, and I tightened my grip on the blanket, which covered my body even more.
"We haven't tried it yet, Young Lady, but if it happens later I will give you half the money from this deal and I will let you go." The man's words were like a whisper from the devil, seducing me not to reject this offer. My mind was in turmoil, and our intimate closeness made me lose control in an instant.
"I, Alpha Lucas Cassano, never break a promise, Young Lady. If you agree to our deal, you will be under my protection, and you will not be able to leave unless I want you to." This man is mighty, and I don't have enough guts and strength to resist him.
Lucas grabs my lips and kisses them again. It's a deep kiss, and I'm instantly lost in his charm and power. The name is familiar to me, but my mind is in a stupor and unable to think any further after Lucas manages to make me lose myself in his touch and kisses on my body.

On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them.
