Chapter 1: Truth or Dare

The atmosphere in a party is really noisy and bustling. Young masters wear colorful and cool clothes, while young ladies wear charming and attractive mini skirts. Loud music makes everyone excited.

"Regina Lynne, it's your turn. Truth or dare?" A crimson girl with red lipstick pointed her finger at Regina.

"Oh, I'm not in this game." Regina hastily waved her hand in refusal.

"Everyone has to play, if you don't play, you will be punished. You don't want to jump in the pool naked, do you?"

“I…” Regina was confused, however, her friends were all staring at her. "Okay, then... dare."

The sexy girl glanced at her friend sitting next to her with a meaningful look, then she pointed at a man.

"Regina Lynne, I dare you to kiss him."

Looking in the direction that the girl was pointing, Regina Lynne saw a man in a white shirt, his hair was neatly combed but his collar was wide open attractively. Just looking at his relaxed cross-legged posture, Regina felt that this man was not simple.

After a moment of bewilderment, Regina made up her mind and walked towards the man. Just a kiss, right? That's how she reassured herself. That man sat among his friends, however, he was the most prominent and handsome.

Regina took a huge sip of wine, which made her throat sting, tears welled up in her eyes and her head started to feel dizzy.

Thanks to that, she gathered the courage and went straight towards the man.

To everyone's surprise, she grabbed his collar and forcefully kissed him on the lips. The music was still lively, but everyone froze and stared blankly at her and the strange man kissing. In her head, she counted to three, then let go of his collar and was about to leave. However, she didn't expect that he would suddenly hold her waist, easily grab her neck with his hands, and leaned down to kiss her lips.

Contrary to the fleeting kiss just now, his kiss was much more passionate and rough. Regina felt her lips being devoured by him painfully, the man's soft tongue sliding deep into her warm mouth, playing with her small tongue. Regina's breathing slowed down, she felt the air around her getting less and less.

Fortunately, the man finally decided to stop.

He still held her in his lap, his enigmatic green eyes narrowed slightly, looking at her appraisingly. Then he leaned close to her ear and whispered.

"You're so brave, do you know who I am?"

She shook her head and looked at him with bewildered eyes. However, he didn't say anything else but just let her go, then casually took a sip of wine as if nothing had happened.

The girl with red lipstick is Julia, she is the one who challenged Regina to kiss Darryl Rider. Julia assumed that Darryl would definitely get angry and humiliate Regina. Unexpectedly, he seemed very interested in Regina, even kissing her for a long time.

"It's strange, is the rumor about Darryl Rider wrong?" Julia turned to look at her best friend.

"I'm not sure either. Obviously everyone says that Darryl Rider is a very scary man, he has killed a lot of dangerous people and destroyed a lot of enemies. He is considered cold-blooded and unselfish to any enemy. Until now, he has never paid attention to any woman, even treated them with a cold and indifferent attitude." Julia's best friend replied.

Originally, they wanted to play a dirty trick on Regina, but they didn't expect Regina to be so lucky. The ladies lost interest in the game of Truth or Dare and left the party.

This incident shocked everyone, and sometimes people still talk about it.

A week later...

Regina Lynne looked at herself in the mirror. Her face was pale, her body was thin, her expression was tired and she no longer had a gentle and loving appearance. Her family's company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Her father, Joshua, listened to her stepmother, Anne, and together they came up with a solution.

They forced her to marry an old millionaire in the hope that he would invest in Lynne's family business. The old man's wife had just passed away, and he was desperate for a beautiful young woman who could take care of him.

Regina Lynne vehemently opposed the marriage but failed.

Now, Regina was already drunk, she knew that the old man purposely got her drunk to force her to sleep with him, anyway they will go to register their marriage tomorrow. But Regina wasn't willing to give up her future like that.

She made up her mind and walked out of the toilet. When she returned to the table, the millionaire was grinning at her.

"Regina, you must be very tired, right? I've booked a room here, come with me."

"I don't want to."

"What did you say? Don't be stubborn, Regina. Your family needs my help."

The old millionaire grabbed Regina's hand, he hugged Regina's small body with all his strength and tried to smell her sweet scent.

"No... stop... I don't want to..."

Regina struggled weakly, she screamed in despair, but their dining room was soundproof. No one could hear or know that she were in danger. While waving her arms and legs, she grabbed a bottle of wine. Without hesitation, she slammed the bottle of wine into the old man's head.

Shards of glass shattered, blood flowed from his head and red wine mingled.

"Ah, my head. Damn whore! How dare you do that to me?"

The old man let out a scream of pain and clutched his head, blood running through his fingers and dripping onto the ground.

Taking that opportunity, Regina quickly rushed out of the hotel's dining room. However, she was unlucky when the old man's bodyguards were numerous. When they saw her running out with her clothes in rags and tears in her eyes, they froze for a few seconds and quickly chased after her.

"Catch that whore for me." The billionaire roared at the bodyguards and urged them.
