All Chapters of That Beauty Salon: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Caleb Galen was a pro at teasing women. Soon, he led me into ecstasy. Right when we were about to hit the home run, Liam's face flashed across my mind. I couldn't bring myself to cheat on the man I would marry soon.With that in mind, I bit my lower lip, sending pain coursing through my head. I sobered up and gathered my energy to throw Caleb off the bed. Grabbing a facial tool from the side, I aimed it at him and croaked, "Do not come any closer!"Shocked by my sudden response, he put on a cold look. Then, he announced somberly, "Daphne, you can always say no. We're an entertainment establishment, but we won't do things against your will."I fought my way out of my dizziness and grabbed a blanket to cover up. Gritting my teeth, I hissed at him, "I was here for a facial. I had no idea you had these unscrupulous dealings behind the business. Let's forget everything that happened today. You will put this behind you as well."Grabbing my bag, I took out a few hundred dollar bills an

While speaking, Caleb knowingly lifted an eyebrow. My expression immediately fell. I yelled at him, "What do you plan to do?""Nothing. I just like you a lot, Daph. I want to—"I scoffed. "Let's get to the point. Just tell me how much you want."It dawned on me that Caleb wasn't satisfied with the few thousand dollars I offered him yesterday. He wanted more money in exchange for his silence. That was the reason behind his lipstick delivery today.A problem that could be resolved by money was no problem at all.His expression shifted, and his hold on his coffee cup tightened. He asserted, "I'm not doing this for money.""What are you doing this for, then? You looked into my contact and my company address. Are you seriously telling me you're not doing this to blackmail me?""Daph, believe me or not, I won't harm you. You need to reconsider marrying your boyfriend." Caleb had left a bad impression on me, but my attitude softened after he repeatedly addressed me by my nickname. I

My mind went blank when I realized that my boyfriend had cheated on me with my childhood friend. Sadly, I couldn't gather the courage to confront them, as I believed I, too, had cheated on Liam. Technically, I didn't sleep with Caleb, but we did everything else in between.Caleb put away his phone after I stopped watching the clip. "See that, Daph? Why bother saving yourself for your boyfriend when he's already cheated on you?"He reached out to take off my clothes. I knew I had to turn down his advances, but I couldn't help subjecting myself to his charm.Perhaps, I was too burdened with the knowledge of Liam's betrayal and self-blame. My mind was too muddled to make a decision to push Caleb away.Before long, Caleb and I were undressed. He pulled a blanket over us. Right when he was about to start pleasuring me, someone kicked the door open.I jumped in shock and peered in the direction of the door. There, I found Liam and Tanya standing side-by-side.Before my brain could proc

My dad was a conservative man. At that moment, he cast a stern look my way. He demanded to know. "Daph, what's all this?"I reined in my grief and told him everything that had happened amid Liam and Tanya's looks of disbelief. Tanya almost asked me how I knew the truth, but she shut up when Liam shot her a warning look.Liam growled at me, "Daphne, do you not realize your mistake? How could you blame everything on Tanya and me just to clear your name? You've changed!""Right, Daph. You shouldn't slander me and Liam. Does our friendship mean nothing to you? How about you show me the evidence?""You want evidence? Here you go."I played the recording on Caleb's recorder. Tanya's voice, distorted by envy, echoed in the silent hall. "Yeah. I'm jealous of Daph. She's nice to me, but I can't stand the fact she has everything. I want everything that belongs to her—her family, her parents' love, her boyfriend."Here's 300 thousand dollars if you can get Daphne to be with any of your gu
