“Leave me alone!” Chloe went hysterical. She was trying her best to get free from two women dragging her to a room in hotel.
“You filthy bitch, you know how much effort we made to persuade Richard to help our family! How can you refuse to do such favor to all of us! You dirty prostitute!” Jessica, one of the dragging women, slapped Chloe heavily and spit at her to ease anger.
Vivian, the other woman, followed Jessica’s voice, “Think, you are one of our family members, you should sacrifice a little bit to secure our family. Richard has already promised to help us only if you flirt with him. It is not a big deal.”
Hearing these, desperation filled with Chloe’s heart.
At only one night, all changed. Beginning in that night
when her parents died of car accident, then her family business collapsed as other shareholders sold their stocks as soon as possible and at the same time hounded her family to take their money back. The family business run well in the past, but suddenly in huge trouble. When Chloe was frustrated to deal with all these matters, her relatives, instead of giving a hand to her, sold the corporate assets secretly, and even tried to make a profit by selling her body.
And the relationship among the three women is: Jessica is Chloe’s aunt, and Vivian is her cousin.
What made Chloe more distressed, it was the conflict triggered by Jessica and Vivian that needed Chloe’s parents to handle, exactly at the process of which, her parents passed away. It was caused by them, how dare they!
But she failed to wrench herself free. Chloe finally was pulled to the room, and her head was hit before she falling.
“Richard, here is that bitch,” saying Jessica to flatter that round-belly guy in the room.
Chloe raised her head and found in the room there was not only Richard, but also several guys showed lust for her.
“She deserves the name of Beauty in Edinburgh,” commented Richard with pleasure. He walked towards Chloe, placing his fat hand to touch her face.
Seeing his hand approaching closer, Chloe felt sick and disgusted. She couldn’t help but push his hand away at the moment when his hand touched her. She stood up, staring at others vigilantly.
“What a tough girl,” Richard said, and burst into laugh together with other men. Obviously, they thought that panic, desperate and gorgeous look mixed perfectly on Chloe’s face, which aroused their desire to conquer.
“Richard, enjoy your time!” said Vivian with a fawning smile, then she pushed Jessica out in hurry.
Chloe screamed for help. She could not bear it.
A sneer look on Vivian’s face, and she turned to Jessica, “Mom, a surprise. I didn’t know Chloe’s body get so much paid.”
“Goddamn her! What a coquette!” Jessica was dissatisfied after hearing her daughter’ words, thinking the money was a praise for Chloe. But then she concentrated on listening what was going on inside the room, wearing a sneering look.
“Mom, I remember this bitch has a fiancé. What if……”, something popped into Vivian’s mind, and she felt unease.
“You mean Shawn, I know that guy, but he has been abroad for many years. No one knows where is he. It is impossible for him to clean up this mess. Their engagement doesn’t count. Who would marry a bitch?” Jessica contemptuously answered.
Inside the room, Chloe was forced into a corner. Her hair disheveled, she was desperate. Several men were approaching closer and closer to her, fondling her especially in her private parts. Dirty smile, erotic words, and unstoppable lust permeated the room.
Bang!
The door was open, kicked by a man from outside. This startled the men inside. Richard turned his head, scolding, “Bastard! What the fuck, why the door is open!”
A man in a suit stood at the door, with ten bodyguards. Wearing a stern look, the man walked into the room step by step. Jessica and Vivian realized the big trouble was coming and ran away instantly. Other men were also afraid, but on second thought that they could benefit a lot from Richard, they all grabbed chairs and prepared to fight against these unexpected men.
The man had an angular face and deep eyes, looking extraordinary and yet exuding coldness. Chloe was shaking at the corner for fear of what happened now. She trembled and narrowed her body trying to avoid other’s notice. She thought, who was the man? Why did he come here?
The man ignored Richard’s men, walking straight to Chloe instead. Richard furiously walked to the man but was heavily kicked off the ground by this man. Richard suffered extreme pain and cried.
The man still wore a serious look. His bodyguards acted quickly and within minutes all Richard’s guys were subdued.
The man gazed at Chloe at the corner. He seemed feel pity for her, but only after a second, these face expression faded and returned to normal.
He approached to Chloe quickly, and took off his suit to cover Chloe. Then he gently helped Chloe stand up.
“God damn it! Do you wanna die?” shouted Richard while rubbing his belly.
“Stop it, you are not the ruler in this place!” said the lobby manager. But seeing Richard’s guys were lying painfully on the ground, he got sweaty. He told himself this man was tough though, Richard was in charge of this region, I’d better stand by Richard.
“Get out!” the man said in an impassive tone. His eyes were penetrating, threatening the manager to step back. The manager was scared, moving back unconsciously. But the manager stepped forward anyway as he got Richard’s hint, and shouted, “let him go!”
“Who dare!” yelled another man, who rushed to there from the opposite site of the corridor. Regardless of his cold sweat, he kicked the manager away, and then flattered the man in suit, “Sorry, Shawn, I didn’t know you come back today, please forgive me.”
Shawn? Chloe looked up the man holding her, who, from her view, exuded dignity and coldness.
Shawn turned his head to the just-arrived man, and ordered, “You know how to deal with the event. Do it well!”
After his words ended, he left hotel holding Chloe in his arms, went to his car, and settle Chloe gently in the passenger seat.
Danger was over. Chloe watched Shawn but her mind was empty, and it took her some time to regain her presence of mind, and asked, “you are……Shawn?” And then she regretted to ask, because there was only one influential person named Shawn. But, “Isn’t Shawn abroad? He seemed to disappear from the world since he left Edinburgh five years ago.”
“Yes,” answered Shawn in the same tone.
Hearing this, Chloe relived and finally could soothe her nerves. And then she fainted.
