Unexpected ties: Arranged Marriage. Chapter Thirty Two.
“Help, help! He’s trying to rape me” Mia grasped the door frame and shouted desperately. Sam held her wrist tightly and dragged her into the room. Despite struggling with all her might, helpless tears rolled down her cheeks as she screamed until her voice grew hoarse. However, no one responded to her pleas. Then, a flicker of hood ignited in her heart when she caught a glimpse of a waiter pushing a dining cart down the corridor in the distance. Hoping against hope that the waiter could help her, she shouted with all of her might, “help! This man’s trying rape me! Please help me! Please help me! Call the police! Please!” The waiter paused and glanced at her as she desperately called for his help. However his eyes were cold, and then he proceeded to walk away as though he hadn’t seen or heard anything, disappearing behind the corners of the corridor. “Shut up already, people here don't meddle in our business even if they see it. After all, they’ve seen too much of it. So be a good

Darren led Mia into the elevator. She kept her head down and her haves were clasped tightly together. She was still trembling. Her breathing was also faster than normal. All of a sudden, Darren lifted the black cap he put in her head. Mia looked up in a panic. Warm tears had already welled in her eyes. Her long lashes were wet and shiny. This made her look pitiful and beautiful at the same time. “Are you hurt?” A faint gleam of pity flickered in his eyes as he checked her body. He pinched her cheeks and stared at them for a while. Next, he reached down to lift her clothes with the intentions of checking waist. Mia quickly held her clothes down with both gave. Her face flushed and she shifted uneasily. “Please don’t do that I’m fine. Don’t worry about me,” she said in a low voice. Afterwards, she kept silent again. She looked depressed with her head lowered. Darren sensed her uneasiness and fright. To put her ease, he wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly.

Just as Darren was about to walk out of the bedroom, Mia, wearing nothing but bath towel, came out of the bedroom and met his gaze. The two looked at each other wordlessly for a moment. Darren then slipped one hand into his trouser pocket, while the other hand was holding a mug. Nobody spoke for what seemed like an eternity. Darren, truth be told, was stunned speechless. His Adam’s Apple bobbed as he gulped excitedly. He was much taller than Mia, so he could clearly see cleavage peeking from above the bath towel. When Mia realized what he was looking at, she blushed a bright red and tried to rush into her room, intending to pretend that nothing had happened. But the corridor wasn’t that big. It only took Darren two steps to grab her by the wrist and pull her into his arms from behind. The woman’s skin was smooth and supple subconsciously making him want to caress it. “Honey, you shouldn’t dress like this and walk around,” he teased in a low voice, deliberately poking fun of

The next day, Mai went to work. Her stomach churned with unease the entire time. She knew that Sam wouldn’t spare her for what happened last night. As soon as she arrived at her desk and sat down, Sam stormed out of his office and threw a stack of documents on her table. “You are fired! Pack your things and get out of here now!” Mia picked up the documents and looked at them. They were all designs drafts she had previously submitted. “May u know why you’re firing me, Mr. Sam?” She asked calmly. There was still a band aid on the bridge of his nose to cover the injury he had suffered last night. His eyes were blazing with rage. Mias words reminded him of the way he was humiliated last night. “You’re incompetent for your current position!” He said venomously. “Pack your things and get out if the Preston group. You’re just a graduate. I’ll make sure you don’t flourish in the fashion field, ever. As long as I’m in the industry, you won’t be able to get a job, let alone succeed in your c

The video clearly proved that Sam had assaulted Mia and attempted to rape her. He knew nothing would save him now. His leg grew weak, and he slumped on the chair beside him. Micheal signalled his assistant to take away the laptop. “The evidence says it all. Sam, you are fired from the Preston Group ok account of sexually harassing a fellow employee. Sam looked at Mia with resentment, thinking about how to take revenge on her. A group of police officers then came and dragged Sam away. David walked to Mia and said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have let Sam take you away yesterday. Did he hurt you?”Mua shook her head, smiling. Then, she put her design works on the table. “It’s not your fault, David. I told you not to get involved in the issue yesterday. I thought it was just a casual dinner with clients. He was stupid I was. Fortunately, someone saved me in time yesterday, so nothing happened.”“Well, that’s good. Thank God you don’t have to leave Preston Group now. I wond

As soon as Mia pressed her lips against his, Darren felt a surge of frenzied passion. He picked her up in his arms and put her on the sofa. He wrapped his arms around her and pecked on her lips. “You’re too naive.” He smiled. Mia was startled. The man pressed her against the sofa and deepened the kiss, swallowing her screams. The room was silent, except for the tickling of the click and rustling of clothes. “En….enough…Ethan!” Mia grasped Darren’s and looked away, intending to escape. She didn’t expect a small peck to turn into something this wild and passionate. His tongue explored her mouth with aggression as if he was going to devour her. Darren pressed his forehead against Mia’s and stared into her eyes, gleaming with inexplicable emotions. He cupped the back of her neck with his palm and gently nippled her bottom lip. Then, he grasped her pert bum and pressed it against his hardness. His body had turned hot and stiff. All of a sudden, Mia’s eyes sprang up. She quickly pu

Thinking the client was unhappy, Mia quickly sent a message. “I’ll finish the design. I promise. I’ve brought my laptop to the hospital. You don’t have to give me an extra day. I’ll finish it today, I promise.” Rich party A replied, “I don’t need it for the time being. Don’t worry. You’ll still get the payment.Mia clapped her hands excitedly as her heart swelled with gratitude. She quickly typed, “I’m grateful and moved. You’re the best client in the world.” Ethan turned off his phone and walked into the bathroom, holding his clothes. A small smile stretched across his lips as he recalled what happened in the living room. It was Friday and the weather was relatively hotter and humid. It felt as if the entire city was set ablaze. Everyone was sweating profusely, and the scent of sunscreen wafted in the air. After work, Mia took the bus back home. And gazed out the window, listening to music and watching the scenes whizzing past. Suddenly, her ringtone blared, interrupting the mu

Seeing that Mia was dead serious, the maid went into the house and told Lydia about what Mia had said. “Did she really say that?” Lydia was enjoying her strawberries. Her hand stilled when she heard that. Her gentle face reddened with rage. She looked at Frank, who was sitting next to her. “Mia had gone too far. How could she talk to her parents this way? After all, we adopted her. Although she is not close to us, I wish she at least showed us some gratitude for the things we have done for her. Do you remember what I said back then? Your parents insisted on letting us adopt her. It was unnecessary, wasn’t it? Look at what trouble it had brought us. Now, she is blackmailing us. What do you think we should do?” The memories of the past made Lydia hate Mia even more. She pulled a tissue from the box and wiped her fake tears. Seeing Lydia cry again, Frank shook his head helplessly. “No, Mia is not that kind of a person. She would never do that. It was all your fault. Why didn’t you j

Mia picked up the design draft she had submitted and carefully examined it. “The design is in complete accordance with the requirements they asked for. I’m surprised they had rejected it. Maybe because I’m too inexperienced to understand where I had gone wrong, Ma pls give me some advice, or perhaps just choose someone else's designs.” Not only Mia, the director was also equally surprised and confused. She looked at the design and shook her head, “ I can’t give you any advice, I think this draft design is also good. That's why I chose it and presented it to the client. Well frankly, if a client is not happy with our design, they can reject it right away. They usually ask us to modify it based on their requirements. I can’t believe they rejected our design without giving a proper explanation this time.” “Then what do we now?” Mia asked hesitantly. “Since we can’t figure out the reason, let’s go to their company and ask them why they rejected it. It would be better to talk to them

“Wow,” Mia said breathlessly. “It’s beautiful….and it looks expensive.” All of a sudden, she sighed. “Don’t tell me you spent a fortune on me again” “Don’t worry, it didn’t cost much. I got it from a friend.” Darren said affectionately, lying as easily as breathing. As he spoke he ran his fingers across the woman’s slender waist restlessly. It never occurred to her that the gem in front of her was a real diamond. And how could it be real? If it was, Darren had to be extremely rich. Eyeing her twinkling gemstone, she said awe, “ Technology these days must be amazing, it looks like a real diamond.” Darren looked at her cute face and had to hold back a smile that kept tugging at the Corner of his lips. Lowering his head so she couldn’t see his face, he took the diamond ring out of the bottom and slipped it onto her index finger. Her fair, slender finger made the diamond pop out even more. Delighted, he nibbled her neck and whispered “you’re right. It does look real.” “Ouch! Hey!” M

It was July now, and the first and the first wave of scorching summer heat rolled over seacisco. The days were longer and the sun set later. Mia came home one day just as the sun was sinking in the horizon. The warm yellow light flooded the apartment, illuminating everything in a hazy glow. In the kitchen the man was cooking something that smelled delicious. “Why are you home early?” Mia hid her surprise as she walked to the kitchen slowly. Piping hot dumplings bounded on the pot as Darren flipped them over with the light flick of his wrist. Afterwards, he turned off the gas and transferred the dumplings to a plate, then fetched a pair of bowls and chopsticks. “Have dinner with me, why are you just standing there?” “Okay.” Mia said without protest. As Darren set the table, she sat down hesitantly. Staring at the steaming dumplings in her bowl, she commented in surprise, “you can even make dumplings?” Darren pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her. In the setting sun, his us

The next day, Mia went to the company early in the morning. Darren couldn’t sleep well that night. When he went to brush his teeth the next morning, he looked at himself in the mirror and found three red marks on his forehead. He could neither cover it with a mask, nor did he have long hair to hide it. He had no choice but to go out this way. There was a meeting for the senior executives in the Preston group today. Everyone was well prepared for the meeting with a solemn look on their faces. Micheal sat down on the left, idly rotating a pen on his fingers. Just then, the room of the meeting room flew open. Darren walked in, wearing a dark blue suit, followed by his assistant James. Who was carrying a laptop and the necessary documents for the meeting. He excluded his usual majestic aura. However, the red marks on his cold face seemed to catch everyone’s attention. Everyone stared at Darren with bated breath as if they had seen a ghost. They wondered who had scratched the CEO of

Darren’s nose cringed. He felt the urge to trash away the books into the garbage, but after a moment of hesitation he picked one and read it. His knitted brows didn’t loosen until he put it down. The content of the books were even more shocking than their titles. Darren felt the need to wash his eyes after reading it. But perhaps the books were t completely useless. There were common themes in all the books. Whenever the hero and heroine quarreled, they would solve the problem by making passionate love. The hero would always push the heroine down forcefully and kiss her, and things would escalate until they made it to their bed. Then all their problems would be solved.Darren frowned slightly wondering if he should also give it a try. At night, Mia wore her headphones and sat on the chair, with one leg under her bum, and began working on her designs. Her elegant fingers had a way of their own with the pen, she painted at ease, drawing bold, confident strokes. The window was open,

“Do you have the flower shop's phone number? Ask if the flowers can be returned.” After clearing the petals on the floor, Mia laid a pile of flowers on the dining table. Darren painstakingly removed all the candles from the floor and made a call to have his men take the flowers away. It was already midnight by the time they finished cleaning. Exhausted, Mia leaned against the sofa. “I was able to get this much back from the flower shop.” With one hand in his pocket, Darren walked over to Mia and put a wad of cash next to her. “Why are you giving it to me? It’s your money.” Mia looked tired, but her tone was as cold as it was that morning. As she spoke, she dumped the money on the coffee table and then got up to walk to her room, before closing the door behind her, she stole one last glance at the man. Truth be told, she was delighted to have received flowers from Darren. She had never seen so many flowers before, let alone the fact that they were from Darren.But the most impo

There was a woman nestled in Micheal’s arms. He squinted sleepily and spoke in a voice that didn’t sound completely sober. “You can’t do this to me. It’s seven o’clock in the morning. Even servants should have time to rest.” “I’m not joking. Hurry up and find a way to help me. I can’t sleep until this problem is solved.” As he spoke, Darren sullenly stared at the scenery framed by the window. “Okay, okay. Just give me a minute, will you?” Micheal struggled to climb out of bed and lumbered to the bathroom to splash his face with cold water. Then, when he was fully awake, he returned and said “buddy, I can tell from just a glance that your wife’s a little tricky. I’ve seen her a couple of times. She looked gentle and easy going, but I could never tell what was on her mind.” Darren sneered with disdain. “Don’t talk about her like that. Do you want to die Micheal?” Micheal smiled sheepishly. “Well anyways, my point is since money does not work, then you need to change tactics. Try woo

The bar looked dim except for the occasional neon lights that flashed from time to time. The loud music vibrated through the floor. Seeing Darren walking into the bar, Micheal quickly drove away the beautiful women clinging to him and straightened his clothes. After hearing why Darren was here today, Micheal burst out laughing. “I can’t believe you’d come to me one day for such a thing.” Darren slowly picked up the glass. The dim lights softened his features, making him look more handsome. He leaned against the sofa, stretching out his long legs. “Mind your tongues. Unless you don’t want to have weekends this month.” Micheal cleared his throat and swallowed the rest of his words. He picked a glass of wine and sat beside Darren. “Do you want me to be single all my life? My eighteenth girlfriend is waiting for me to take her on a date this weekend.” “Didn’t you say that your seventeenth girlfriend was pregnant? Don’t you want to get married?” Darren frowned and took a sip of the w

The three sides of the interrogation room were made of dark grey glass. People outside would have a clear view of everything inside. Darren was standing outside the glass door. His shiny leather shoes looked spotless, and his dark eyes narrowed at the dazzling emerald ring he held between his slender fingers. His fingertips rubbed against the initials carved on the inner wall of the ring he looked dangerous. The coffee in Jane’s hands had turned cold. He cautiously handed it to Darren again. “Boss, we found the woman. Well bring her in for interrogation right away. I’ll make sure she confesses everything.” Darren nodded and looked at the interrogation room. The shop manager was brought in. She was no longer arrogant and domineering as before. She looked around and found men clad in suits staring at her. “Where did you get this ring?” James pounded the table. He sounded just like a fierce detective. The shop manager rubbed her hands nervously. Judging from their clothes and
