Hotel London

Nagising si Amber na hubad at walang maalala sa isang prestihiyosong hotel sa Milchester. Pero isa lang ang alam niya, hindi simpleng tao ang nakasiping niya kagabi. Si West Lancaster o King of Hell, kung siya'y tawagin ng kanyang mga trabaho. Ito ay dahil wala ito ni isang kaso na hindi naipanalo. At kung sino man ang nakakaharap nito sa korte ay siguradong magdudusa pagkatapos. Wala itong kinatatakutan. At ngayon ay nagising itong may iilang piraso ng isang libo pagkatapos ng mainit nilang pinagsaluhan. Ano nga ba ang naghihintay kay Amber matapos niyang tratuhin bilang isang bayaran ang batikan at kilala sa kanyang ginagawa? Mauuwi ba ang isa sa hindi inaasahang kasunduan na maglalapit sa kanila o sa walang katapusang bangayan na sisira sa kanilang dalawa?

Hasta que, durante una misión de rescate en un hotel en llamas, descubrí lo equivocado que había estado.

My name is Audrey, and I'm the adopted daughter of the Bailey family. Four years ago, the Bailey family faced a devastating financial crisis. Just when bankruptcy seemed inevitable, a mysterious benefactor emerged, offering salvation with one condition: a contract marriage. Rumors swirled about this enigmatic man—whispers claimed he was hideously ugly and too ashamed to show his face, possibly harboring dark, twisted obsessions. Without hesitation, the Baileys sacrificed me to protect their precious biological daughter, forcing me to take her place as a pawn in this cold, calculated arrangement. Luckily, in those four years, the mysterious husband never asked to meet in person. Now, in the final year of our arrangement, the husband I've never met is demanding we meet face to face. But disaster struck the night before my return—drunk and disoriented, I stumbled into the wrong hotel room and ended up sleeping with the legendary financial mogul, Caspar Thornton. What the hell am I supposed to do now?
