Early in the next morning, Sotiria was awakened by her own ringtone.It was a call from Renata, so she answered it. “Rena, why are you calling me so early in the morning? Don’t you know that I wake up at seven every day?”“Sigh! I invited you to lunch at Oishi Seafood yesterday, but Ms. Connor and Melina messed it up. I feel bad, so I want to have another meal with you today.” Renata’s voice sounded extremely apologetic.“Hah! That’s it?” Sotiria laughed out loud.“What’s the matter with you, Rena? I’m your best friend, not to mention that what happened yesterday wasn’t your fault. Why are you being so polite to me?”“No! Tiria, I called you so early because I was worried that you might make other lunch appointments. Moreover, we haven’t seen each other for so long, and I want to catch up with you too. So that’s it, you’ll eat with me today at noon!”In order to not take a no as an answer, Renata hung up without waiting for a response from Sotiria.After sending Naomi to the kin
“Ms. Green, are you feeling warm, empty, and lonely now? Do you urgently need a man to help you relieve the burning sensation in your chest?” The voice coming from above sounded hoarse and rough, with a vulgar aura in his bones.Sotiria wanted to raise her hand to wipe the layer of cold water that was blurring her vision, but she realized that her hands were tied. She could only blink her eyes vigorously, and only then could she see that the man standing in front of her was an extremely crude and untidy man. Although a sloppy and thick beard covered his entire face, it was still not enough to conceal his hideous face...She opened her chapped lips with difficulty. “Are you the one who knocked me out in the bathroom? Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?”“Because you’ve provoked someone that you shouldn’t have offended, and that enemy of yours wants you to experience hell.” The bearded man raised his hand and pointed to his right. “Therefore, the enemy that you’ve offended has
Zachary, who walked by the door of Suite 902, could not help but stop when he heard the noise and screams coming from inside the room.Manager Zimmerman, who was by his side, responded respectfully in an instant. “Hehe, Mr. Connor, it’s very common for men and women to come to our hotel and have fun here. You won’t know what tricks some prostitutes can pull out of their sleeves in order to attract more customers.”There was a trace of disgust in Zachary’s gloomy eyes.Seeing that Zachary continued to move forward, Manager Zimmerman did not let down his guard at all.He was the owner of this hotel, but he had been losing money every month because of poor management. Fortunately, Mr. Connor had the intention to purchase this business and premises. Mr. Connor was here today to visit the site.‘That was unfortunate!‘Although I cannot read and understand Mr. Connor’s emotional changes, Mr. Connor, the cold and indifferent CEO, is notoriously difficult to appease. Although Mr. Connor
The man was thoroughly flustered. His vicious face was drenched in blood, while his eyes were glowing red.The other tall and thin man looked a little strange. He had an old-fashioned sort of face and dull-looking eyes. He pulled out a syringe when he received the unshaven man’s order and gave it to the man who was strangling Sotiria’s neck.The man waved the syringe in front of Sotiria. The sharp, pointy end of its needle flashed with an ice-cold light.“The person who wants revenge on you says that you’ve lost your memories and that you don’t remember what an addict you used to be. It’s been more than four years, and you haven’t taken any more drugs. However, this dose will help you remember who you are… These drugs are the purest, most euphoric, and most addictive latest products. Once administered, you’ll never be able to quit, no matter how strong your willpower is. You’ll become a slave to these drugs forever. I wonder if Mr. Larson will still marry a useless thing like you th
‘Zachary!’He was clearly as cold as an ice mountain.However, when he held her in his arms, she felt his incomparable security and warmth, as if all of the danger and evil in the world could never hurt her.Sotiria closed her eyes and relaxed, then lost consciousness.Zachary instantly felt a tremor in his heart when he felt her losing consciousness. He had never looked closely at Sotiria before…At this moment, he lowered his gaze and looked at her. He saw how red and swollen her face had become from the beating. The corners of her lips were stained red with blood. He felt as if a sharp knife had pierced through him. Even he, a man as cold and icy as a glacier, displayed hints of heartache in his icy pupils.‘D*mn it! Sotiria! She’s clearly a wh*re of loose morals!’He was perfectly fine with using her as a tool for his revenge against Garrison and was trying to seduce her against his will. So why did he feel such sincere agony for her?That heartache made Zachary feel strang
‘Why?’Zachary had only ever felt this way with Charlotte!Why did he feel this way about a wh*re?‘No! Only Charlotte is worthy of sparking this kind of affection in me! Sotiria Green does not deserve it! No woman in this world, except that woman, deserves it!’Zachary icily pushed Sotiria’s lips away from his face at the thought of this.“Go away! Miss Green, have some self-respect!”Sotiria slowly awoke.At first, she felt a throbbing pain on her cheek and a severe headache.Then she realized that she was sleeping on a couch.She looked around. This was a large 1,000 square meter living room. The interior was contemporarily luxurious. The white marble spiral staircase that connected the first floor to the second floor felt like a relic from a fairytale.‘Whose house is this? It’s beautiful! Wait! Have I been here before? Before I lost my memories? Why does everything in this home feel so familiar?’“You’re awake, Miss Green.” The maid, Janet Plain, emerged from the kitche
Sotiria paused in her footsteps and curled the corners of her lips disdainfully.“How would you like me to thank you, Mr. Connor? Would you like me to be your lover, just like the last time you saved me at that bridge?”Zachary gently raised his dark shapely brows. “Sure.”“Heh.” Sotiria couldn’t contain herself from releasing a chuckle. She turned around and looked at the regal Zachary, yet she looked at him as if she were staring at a wretched villain. “You have a reputation, Mr. Connor. I’ve heard that you may be a formidable living devil, but you’re loyal and have principles. You would never cross the line in order to achieve your objectives. However, the more I understand you, the more I realize that whoever said that about you doesn’t understand you at all. You’re just like those shady businessmen who prioritize profit. You’ve resorted to so many filthy tactics just to achieve your objective.”Zachary, who had arrived in front of Sotiria, had a sunken look in his eyes.“St
Zachary squinted his eyes. He gently raised his dark brows.“Just because you outwardly deny it doesn’t mean that you don’t want to, deep down.”Sotiria wanted to cry, but no tears would come. She was about to explain when Zachary’s large hand firmly placed itself on her chest.“Don’t you feel it, sweetheart? Your heart is in my hands now.”If anyone else had touched her like that, Sotiria would have slapped him long ago. However, at that moment, Sotiria did not slap Zachary.It wasn’t because Zachary was holding her firmly in his arms, and she couldn’t move her arms. It was because the intent to slap him hadn’t occurred to her at all.Sotiria had no idea what was wrong with her. Garrison was a perfect, flawless giant among men. She was still perfectly capable of remaining sober when facing Garrison. But once she faced Zachary, her strong defenses would instantly crumble. She had lost all strength for resistance, even if Zachary drew her even closer to him.“Mummy!”A childish
