At the age of 20, Yolanda Taylor borrowed a lot of money for her father's illness. She worked hard to save money, and found the debtor Baron Yeates with gratitude. "Mr. Yeates, thank you for helping me. I will pay you the money with interest." "Pay the money?" Baron smiled slightly. "When did I lend you the money? That was the gift money for marrying you. Don't pay it back." "Marry, marry ... marry me?" Yolanda was shocked: "I'm only twenty!" Baron continued to laugh: "It's a coincidence that I've passed the legal age for marriage, so let's get a certificate."
So cold .......
An inexplicable chill broke the already difficult dream world.
Yolanda Taylor opened her eyes to see the strange room and the strange bed.
But what really frightened her was that she was naked.
She snapped back to what had happened last night!
After an engagement party, Yolanda Taylor, who was only nineteen years old, became the fiancee of 'mysterious tycoon' Baron Yeates.
She didn't have an idea of who Baron was at all.
But when she learnt that the hospital where her father was treated, was actually bought by Baron and her father still owed more than a million dollars in medical bills, she had no other choice.
She only wondered why a rich man like Baron would need to use money to 'recruit' a wife. Didn't he has enough charisma to harvest a love for his success in his career?
It was only at the moment of meeting Baron that Yolanda understood.
He was human but not like a human, not a ghost but like a ghost.
"You're awake?"
The cold voice came from the direction of the balcony.
Accompanied by a cool morning breeze, a tall, imposing man returned to his bedroom from the balcony.
"Mr. Yeates......."Yolanda struggled to control her voice not to tremble.
But she really couldn't do it.
After only looking at Baron's face for a few short seconds, Yolanda was already sure that she was having another nightmare tonight.
There was a world of contrast from Baron's face to his international model's perfect figure, and half of his face was like the devil's!
The right side of his face, with an eye area less than half the size of a palm, was fairly normal. The eyes were also like a clear spring, however, they were the only place where Yolanda dared to gaze.
The mouth, nose, left eye and most of the skin on the face were the scene of a disaster left after a blazing fire!
The scorched skin had melted and been reborn, the incurable scars were so hideous and stubborn. Staring at Baron's 'ghost face' was enough to strike fear into anyone's heart.
"Mr. Yeates?" Baron seemed to be dissatisfied. "I will invest tens of millions in medical costs for your father, and you call me Mr. Yeates?"
"I...I know!" Yolanda hurried to apologize. "But we're only engaged, can we wait until after we're married...and then I will, I will call you..."
Marriage, still for a long time.
Yolanda was actually a freshman in college. She entered school at the age of eighteen, for her father suddenly fell ill, she had to take a year off from school to stay with him in the hospital.
Now with Baron's support, she was planning to return to school after this summer vacation.
The feeling of grief exploded in Yolanda's mind.
Her father was finally going to be saved, but there would be no more joy in her life.
This ghost-like man, no matter how you look at him, couldn't give her the husband tenderness. And the 19-year-old girl was completely unprepared for marriage at all.
Yolanda moved her body.
Huh?
What happened?
Generally speaking, wasn't there supposed to be residual pain in the body after the first sex?
In fact, Yolanda can't remember what had happened last night .
But the whole time she first met Baron, she just stood there like a commodity, letting Baron glance and pick until he nodded in satisfaction.
After the engagement dinner, her stepmother Eva Wild left in a hurry, and Yolanda had to stay overnight and share the bed with Baron.
All she remembered was that she had poured a few glasses of red wine, hoping to get through the night drunk. But it seemed that nothing happened.
Indeed, nothing happened!
Yolanda was sure that, apart from a slight headache from the hangover, there was definitely nothing wrong in her body.
Could it be that besides that ghostly face, Baron had some other hidden diseases in his body.......
Yolanda laughed bitterly, really not knowing whether this was a blessing or a curse to herself.
"You're overthinking." Baron's gaze seemed to pierce through everything. "I didn't touch you because of my lack of interest in 'chunks of meat' that didn't respond."
"Then my clothes......."
"So you don't know that you have a habit of taking your clothes off drunkenly?"
Huh?
The girl blushed, surprised, curled up in the quilt, and began to dress in detail.
Baron pressed closer to the bed, stopping her dressing movements.
"Even if it's a deal, you should have some sincerity, my money is never spent in vain. Now that we're awake, let's make up for what we missed last night?"
