My father sold me out, I hate my family and hatred is slowly taking over my life. I was forced into a marriage that I didn't want with a billionaire. My pride couldn't bear his arrogance and cold-heartedness demeanor so I ran away wishing to not get caught. -"I might not want to be a part of this marriage but why don't you?" he asked in a husky voice. -"Why can you not want it but I can't, that is why I despise you, Shawn." I spat out. He grabbed my hand pulling me to his chest as he aimed for my lips, I wanted to back away but his firm grip wouldn't let me. He tried to invade my mouth but I didn't grant him entry so he bit my lip which caused me to yelp and that was his chance to deepen the kiss as he held my waist pinning me to his body.

Let me speak with you for a little bit about my life. I am Lily Anderson, daughter of the neighborhood gambler. I came from a poor family and I have a single older brother, my mom breaks my heart whenever I am reminded of her. She died from hunger; dad preferred to sleep with a prostitute instead of feeding her.I was 13 years old when I witnessed my mom's death, she refused to eat the food I brought her and insisted that dying would just be better, I begged her to reconsider as I didn't want to lose the only reason why I continue living. She did not listen to me nor care about me at all but I do not blame her for leaving me behind, after all, no human would want to live this way....

Chapter 2: Meeting him
I was sitting in the man's office, he ordered the maid to bring me a minted tea and I drank it slowly waiting for him to start speaking. A man entered the room and handed a document over to my kidnapper." Take this contract and read it carefully." he started.I took the file from his hand and started reading. My eyes grew wider by every written word, what is this bullshit? He wanted me to monitor his son while going to the same college as his and also push him to focus more

Chapter 3: Weird attitude
I was starting to lose my breath and I needed oxygen more than anything now. I gathered all my power and kicked his chest with my leg, which pushed him to take a step back. I was breathing heavily sitting on the ground with my hands placed on my neck glaring at him.He was fascinated but also irritated by my vicious attitude, which caught his attention. He glared at me from above and walked away as if he found satisfaction from looking down on me while I was trying hard to regain my breath. Fuck him, who does he think he is?

Chapter 4: An opportunity
I got down but found out that they had already finished eating; the cook gave me a toast to eat in the car since I would be late if I sat down and ate in the kitchen. I was sitting in the car, it is the first time that someone ever drives me somewhere and I have to say that it was a nice experience. The driver opened the car's door and I stepped out, the college was huge, I heard about its name before but it is my first time seeing it. My friends from my old college called me when I was passing the college's gate." Hey, Lily. Where are you, it is already past 7, the first section will start soon." Diana, my childhood friend stated." I won’t go for a while. I will meet with ya soon, we will talk then." " Okay."I doubted for some reason that my mobile could be hacked, I had that feeling and I did not want to risk saying something I should not have that would reach Gerald's ears. It seems that he hit the maid just to force me into

Chapter 5: His touch
There was a gap before the next prof enters so we took the chance and started choosing our topic for the debate. We gathered all 10 to choose a suitable one." What do you think of animal testing? It suits our field and it is a major topic." Alicia stated."No, I would hate the opposite group if they chose to be with animal testing," Penny said." Who told you that your own group would even be against it?" George joked." No, just choose something else for god's sake, I will cry a river if you chose that one," Penny argued." What about; gambling should be illegal." Shawn proposed. The word 'gambling' rang through my ear, which could not be a mere chance. I bet his dad already told him about how I got here. What a fuckin asshole!" I agree, I agree," Molly said and it was obvious that she only agreed because it was Shawn's idea." I don't mind." George and Alicia replied and we ended up choosing that topic. " Our group wo

Chapter 6: Ugly memory
As soon as his head got too close to mine, I head-butted the bridge of his nose which caused him to raise his head placing his hands on his nose as it probably stings by now, I quickly passed by him and got out of the room. " You know this is your room, right? You will eventually come back." He shouted. I decided to go speak with Gerald to see for myself what is he talking about. I headed to his office and knocked on his door, he granted me permission to go in and I stepped into the office then sat on the armchair facing Gerald who was immersed in some papers. " What do you need?" He asked coldly as he pushed the papers aside to focus on our conversation. I had a lot to ask but facing him like that made me forgot what I wanted to say, his aura is so dominating. I have to be careful from now on when dealing with him and choose my words carefully. " I heard that you might want to marry me off to your son," I stated honestly. " So?"

Chapter 7: He brings me trouble
A hand was holding mine, I opened my eyes slowly and spotted the maid from yesterday. It seems that she slept from fatigue due to looking after me.Looking after me? She was taking care of me. It is my first time being taken care of. This thought kept repeating itself in my mind again and again. I didn't want to wake her up by pulling my hand so I just admired her facial features as I waited for her to wake up. After a while, she woke up and yelled when she spotted my eyes wide open." Why did you shout?" I asked placing my hands on my ears from the sound." I am sorry... I was shocked, I am really sorry," she begged." Hey. Hey... No worries, I am not mad, I wanted to thank you for what you did."" No need, I am just a mere maid, it’s my job." She replied.I caressed her face and kissed her forehead. She flinched from my reaction but I could see a smile being drawn on her smooth lips." You are not a mere maid, you are the deci

Chapter 8: Catfight
What I forgot to tell you about myself guys is that I used to train in an underground fighting club, my coach was so strict and he taught me several techniques not to only defend myself but to also become an aggressive individual who permits no one to mess with him. I may look cute but I lost my feminine side a long time ago, I had to learn how to fight if I did not want to be killed, robbed, raped, or even have my organ extracted in my notorious neighborhood. My coach recognized that my petite body would not be convenient to me so he taught me another deadly technique that does not necessitate body strength.  I always walked with a sliver dagger that I won in one of the fighting contests but I lost it three days before I was kidnapped by Mr. Gerald. I have a hunch that my dad found it and sold it somewhere.  The guys standing around me were huge, I can't defeat them by mere force, I have no dagger and they outnumber me. I decided that the best opti

Chapter 9: Sexual tension
His breath was intoxicating, he kept licking my ear and stopped speaking, I think he is now focused on something else much more important due to his animalistic instinct." Shawn?" I moaned as he bit my ear just at the same time." If you call my name like that, would you think I will listen to whatever you will say next?" He asked in a husky voice that managed to turn me on at this point in time.I am no angel and his touch was doing thin

Chapter 10: My social circle
Lily's POV: I was still flustered even after a 20 minutes car ride, I was about to lose it back there, thanks god nothing happened. I would not have forgiven myself, I may not be able to understand how the rich people think but I do not care even if I did; he has a girlfriend and I should respect that. In addition, I don't want a stupid choice out of temporary feelings and an instinct drive to ruin my future. I never wanted an arrogant husband who
