Chapter 1

Millie Jordan was about to experience what a woman would go through if she were abducted by a group of perverted kidnappers.

A dark cloth was tied over her eyes and her mouth was taped shut. She shivered in a corner like a frightened animal. Her body was littered with cuts and bruises all over.

The rope around her neck was only less than three feet long. If she moved any further forward, the rope would tighten around her neck, making her unable to breathe.

She'd tried struggling many times before, but she always ended up breathless and blue in the face. Her voice was hoarse, and her throat hurt. She simply couldn't get away.

She could hear the abductors angrily cursing at her outside the door. They had tried forcing themselves on her just now, but she fought back and bit one of them harshly in the throat. She'd bitten him so hard that his laryngeal bone nearly broke and she nearly killed him.

That was the reason why she was beaten half to death and tied up in a corner like this. They had even drugged her.

She didn't know what was going on outside the door. The boat she was on suddenly crashed hard against something, and she was thrown to the ground in a heap from the impact.

There were loud gunshots and people screaming. Finally, everything fell eerily quiet.

The door was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang. Millie could hear the sound of heavy boots slowly approaching her.

She curled into a fetal position. She knew what was coming next. She was going to lose her mind and turn into a bitch in heat as she begged the person to take her, over and over again, no matter what kind of person he was.

But she couldn't do that. She couldn't do such a thing behind Stefan's back.

Just then, the tape on her mouth was torn off. She could finally talk.

"D-Don't touch me! S-Stefan won't forgive any of you! I'm his girlfriend… He's already on the way, he'll come and save me, he's coming very soon!"

"Stefan won't be coming."

The newcomer's voice was deep and hoarse. It was different from the other abductors who had brought her here. Maybe this was their leader.

"No, he will be coming! He won't leave me behind!"

Stefan had been abducted first. Millie was the one who came alone with the ransom for his release. However, the abductors had only agreed to release him if she took his place instead. And because she wanted to protect the person she loved, she agreed to take the risk.

When Stefan left, he told her to wait for him to return with help and bring her home safely. He'd even warned the abductors that if they dared to harm a hair on her head, he and his entire family would never forgive them.

That was why Millie firmly believed that he would return to save her.

The leader of the abductors didn't say anything. Instead, he played a recording for Millie.

"I gotta hand it to you, Ste, I never thought that Millie would exchange herself for you. I've transferred the bet of ten million dollars to you."

"We all know that Millie is Ste's lapdog. Sure, Ste got abducted for real, but he doesn't need her to save him. They'd never actually dare to harm him."

"Alright, alright. It's Wanda's birthday. Let's not bring that woman up."

The last line was from Stefan Leach. His voice was soft, gentle, and melodious as ever.

Millie always thought that Stefan had been gentle to her, but now she learned that he could be ten thousand times gentler than that.

"That's right. It's Wanda's birthday today, and Ste booked out the entire club, especially for her. What a romantic gesture indeed!"

"Ste, aren't you going to save Ms. Jordan?"

"It's your birthday today. There's no rush. Come on, birthday girl, make a wish. I'll make sure to fulfill it no matter what you want."

"Really? Then, I want to be with you forever!"

Stefan seemed to go quiet for a short while. Then, he said in a doting voice, "Of course. I'd love that more than anything in the world."

He'd love that more than anything in the world?

Millie felt her body getting hotter and hotter. However, her heart felt as if it'd just been plunged into an ice bath.

However, she still harbored some hope. Maybe it was just a faked recording made from various clips combined together. This was none other than the abductors' plan to get her to listen to them.

"It's fake… The recording must be fake…"

"You're stupider than anyone I've ever met."

The leader's voice was as cold as ice. He then grabbed her chin and squeezed it.

As soon as he got closer to her, Millie felt her breathing start to get ragged.

She swallowed a lump in her throat subconsciously. Her heart felt empty. She was feeling the primal lust starting to overtake her senses.

"Do you know what they drugged you with? If you don't have sex with a man now, you're going to die."

"I don't care if I die… Even if I die, I'd never betray Stefan!"

"If he really loved you, he wouldn't want you to die even if you were already tainted. But if he doesn't love you, and yet you gave up your life for him, you'd have died in vain.

"You just have to deal with me alone. Then, I'll let you go. I'll be the only one to touch you, and no one else, but you'll get to stay alive. The choice is up to you."

The man then let go of Millie's chin and reached for her torn collar.

Millie was already on the verge of tipping over, and his touch was enough to send her completely over the edge. She didn't have any energy left in her upper body to reject his touches.

Of course, her mind also flew out of the window as soon as he touched her.

She didn't know if she was desperately grasping onto straws to live or if she was simply succumbing to the side effects of the potent love drug.

The ropes were unwrapped from her body. The man picked up Millie's weak body and hooked her legs around his waist as he supported her back.

Then, he pierced into her, wrapping her legs even tighter around him for better purchase.

"Ah…"

He forced his way into her, tearing her last defenses into shreds.

"Wait, you were still a virgin? Didn't you say you were Stefan's girlfriend?"

The man seemed surprised.

The pain seemed to have brought Millie back to her senses. She was deeply ashamed when she heard him say that. How could she have given her body to an abductor because she wanted to survive? And to think that this was her precious first time she'd been saving?

Even if Stefan forgave her for this, she didn't think she was good enough to stay by his side anymore.

Tears rolled down her face as the thought invaded her mind. However, the man suddenly bent down and kissed the corners of her eyes.

"Relax. Otherwise, it's going to hurt even more for you," he whispered in her ear.

So what if the man seemed to be gentle with her? She hated him with her entire being. She hated him for abducting her, for taking her virginity, and for trying to get between herself and Stefan.

As soon as she was rescued, she was going to report him to the police and have him imprisoned!

With all the hatred stirring up within her, Millie bit the man harshly on the shoulder until the metallic taste of blood invaded her mouth. The man grunted in pain.

Millie scrunched up her eyes, anticipating him to hit her, but the pain didn't come. Instead, he thrust even more deeply into her.

Even though Millie couldn't see, she could still touch him. He was tall, built, and had a muscular body. He was most probably someone who worked out or did sports a lot. As she felt the tense muscles beneath her fingertips, Millie started to get frightened.

She thought that it would be easier if she only agreed to have sex with him alone. However, the man ravished her over and over again for what felt like hours. She could no longer tell whether it was the man or herself who was influenced by the love drug.

In the end, she passed out from exhaustion. Before she went out cold, she could still feel him taking her body repeatedly as he fucked her on her back. Millie felt as if she was going to die.

She finally blacked out completely. When she woke up again, she realized that she was still in the same boat. However, she was the only one there.

She was completely naked, but her cuts and bruises had all been tended to. Clean clothes in her exact size were placed on the bedside table.

Millie walked out of the cabin and didn't see a single soul anywhere about. It was as if she was on a haunted ghost ship. She desperately wanted to tell herself that everything that happened had been nothing but a nightmare.

However, the teeth marks, hickeys, and the pain in her lower body told her that everything was real.

Millie got off the boat and hailed a cab.

She knew that she should be heading home to give Stefan a surprise. He must be scratching his head in despair as he thought of a way to save her.

But for some reason, another address appeared in Millie's mind instead.

"Sir, please take me to Verdier Club."
