Chapter 1

The king-sized bed in the presidential suite was a mess.

The man’s face was divine, and yet there was bloodlust in his eyes and coldness that chills the bone.

He was clenching on a woman’s wrist as he viciously swung her out of the room.

“You tricked me! Get the hell out of here if you want to live!”

“Ouch!” Tina Lynd gasped in pain.

Glaring red marks appeared over the delicate skin on her wrist, and her tears were streaming.

Her whole body was shaking, and she was so afraid she could die.

The man before her was Samuel Langford, the most ruthless tyrant of Freesia.

Rumor had it that his methods were so brutal, any living being that provoked him would soon vanish from the grid, as if they had vanished into thin air…

But today, Tina had come to die!

In fact, that was not all she was going to do here—she wanted to make it known to the whole city that she slept with Samuel Langford, and have her whole family buried along!

Sniffling, she restrained the terror she felt even as her legs went limp.

Throwing herself at Samuel, she wrapped her arms around his slim yet muscular hips, her tender hands trembling even as she took off his shirt…

Over twenty years, Samuel had never once shown interest in women—one might even say he feels disgusted towards them because of a rare condition.

Therefore, never could he have imagined that with this woman’s deliberate teasing… he actually felt something different!

She came, throwing herself at him to help his condition!

Laughing icily, he said, “Didn’t you want to jump me? Fine, you’ll have your wish tonight!”

Rip—

Tina’s eyes widened even as the sound of clothes echoed in the room.

No way! He should be muddled, so what was giving him the strength?

And before she realized it, Samuel had bitten down viciously on the fair skin of her shoulders.

In the next instant, with his long fingers restraining her dainty chin, he pressed his lips over hers before she could even think.

All at once, a domineering force akin to an avalanche engulfed and invaded her.

Even as her very breath was encroached upon, Tina’s mind was reduced to a puddle.

As night eventually became day, she sneaked away before Samuel woke up, cutting a miserable figure even as she left the hotel.

She returned to the Lynds’ mansion at East Hill.

***

There was a group of people in the backyard, where an outdoor party was held.

The members of the Lynd family were each dressed brightly and dazzlingly as they gathered for a lively chit-chat.

Still, one of the guests soon noticed Tina’s presence.

“Eh? Why are you here, Tina? And dressed like that, too!”

As a matter of fact, Tina’s clothes were in pieces, and people would have thought her a beggar if it wasn’t for her beautiful face.

Nonetheless, she cut through the crowd and stared at the rest of the Lynds, all of whom were scowling uglily.

This was the family who readily kicked her into hell.

Using the excuse that they had raised and supported her for ten years, they sold her off for a million dollars to the geezer named Mr. Wallace, who had tormented and murdered countless girls

They did not expect her to return alive, did they?!

Not only did she survive and made her way back, she brought her family a present… by offending Samuel Langford!

Her adopted father strode towards her then, snapping in fear and shock, “How did you make it back, Tina? How dare you come back?!”

“Why wouldn’t I?” Tina sneered. “Worried about the one million dollars from Mr. Wallace after you sold me off? What a shame—your plans have been foiled!”

“You ingrate! We’ve raised you, and now that it’s finally time for you to repay us, you’re talking to us with that attitude?!” Ellen Golding, Tina’s adopted mother, shot back in disbelief.

Her adopted daughter had always obeyed her every word, but now she was talking back at them in public!

“Just look at her, dressed in rags… There’s no telling how many men have touched her! Leave, you’re an embarrassment—don’t cause our family any further embarrassment!” Pearl Lynd, Tina’s adopted younger sister, showed a look of utter disdain.

To everyone else, the Lynds were simply gathered together and discussing something in private.

None of them were aware that it was a conspiracy to murder!

Every last one of the Lynds were dressed impressively and spoke grandly, but they were all forcing Tina to her death.

She had always remained stoic and given everything for her family, only to suffer a most tragic betrayal.

Biding her time and then mounting a successful escape, she swore that she would not let these animals get off scot-free!

That was why she had banked on her last ounce of courage and provoked the terrible Samuel Langford, and now she just had to wait for him to descend upon them with his divine wrath and crush the Lynds!

Now, Tina felt neither misery nor fear, because those stinking mouths before her were already walking corpses, their doom decided.

“You won’t have the chance to hurt me anymore. Just give up.”

With those calm words, Tina turned to leave.

Ellen immediately reached out—her embellished nails were as sharp as they were long, and she wanted nothing less than to stab Tina to death.

“Trying to run, ingrate? Dream on! You’re going back to Mr. Wallace right this instant!”
