The day Irene was dumbed by her boyfriend was the same day that she got engaged. Drunk in sadness and alcohol, Irene found herself answering a tipsy "yes" to Aaron's invitation to marry. By the time she sobered up, she found herself whisked in a marriage with a man she barely knew. At first, each day felt like a honeymoon until, slowly, Aaron unveils his true identity.
"Irene, let's break up."
Irene Xiao remembered how his words hit her like tons of bricks. "What?" she uttered, lost for words.
The man pinched his nose as if it was draining for him to even explain it to her. "Here's the thing. We just don't fit. I mean, I love eating all kinds of things, and you," he continued, wrinkling his nose. "You can only cook noodles, and don't get me started on the... You get what I mean, right? Here's 200,000 dollars. Think of it as a compensation for the time we've spent together."
Irene Xiao sat on the side of the road, hands gripping over the edges of the pavement as she thought back to the moment he broke her heart. She took another swig of the beer she was holding, sniffling.
What the heck happened?
She remembered how in love she and Jonny Jiang were. They had been together for three years. Except for her body of course, she was willing to give everything to him. But what happened? She just got dumped!
Irene Xiao wailed.
However, it was only right that he did so...at least. Jonny Jiang's parents were government officials, and his family background was outstanding to say the least. As for her, her mother had a lowly job, and she had an equally troublesome sister.
They had different social statuses, so maybe it was just right that they broke up.
But still...
She blinked back the tears, wiping the ones that slipped down her cheeks.
Why the hell was he like this?
She remembered how much he loved her noodles, and how he'd said that he'd eat them for days if he wanted to. He'd even said that they'd go through all of his parent's disapproval and her family's background. "It'll be all right," he'd said, wrapping his arms around her.
It took three years for all those words to go to waste.
One can never really trust a man's word.
Her heart clenched. As much as she tried to hold back her tears, the barriers around her started to break. She found herself sobbing in the streets.
'200,000 dollars! As if that could buy back the time I wasted on you!' Irene Xiao thought, taking another swig of her bottle.
It couldn't,
but she found herself taking it out of cold blood in the end.
'This is my money anyway.
Wasting my time on that asshole!'
Just as she took another sip, a car stopped at the side of the road a few meters behind her.
Seeing the woman in such a state, Aaron Zhao wanted to open the door only to be stopped by Jackson Jiang.
"What do you think you're doing?" Jackson Jiang's voice was as cold as ice.
"I think I know what I'm doing," he replied, without a care in the world.
"You're declaring war on the Zhao Family if you did this," Jackson Jiang warned. "Consider that carefully. Do you really think that woman's worth it?"
"The Zhao Family is not worth mentioning at this point. And as for if she's worth it or not, I guess that's up to me, isn't it?"
Without another word, he swiftly opened the door and got out of the car. He strode over the pavements, bending down on Irene Xiao who was already very intoxicated at that point.
Carl Cheng snorted. He was sitting on the backseat the whole time, watching the scene unfold under his eyes. "I guess it's a start for love," he yawned out.
Jackson Jiang sniffed, "Love? Only the dead would believe that."
Aaron Zhao sat beside her. Seeing her in such a state, he couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. 'She must really love that jerk.'
"Are you all right?"
Hearing his voice, Irene Xiao raised her head in a daze, only to see her favorite actor. She blinked, shaking her head rapidly.
"Damn it!" she yelled outright, looking at him again only to see a familiar face. 'Jonny?
What is he doing here? Does he want to get back together? Or to make fun of me?'
she thought, scrambling backwards as if she just saw a ghost. Whatever it was, it was time to act fast!
She wiped her nose with the back of her sleeve. "Let me tell you, Jonny. I'm a very beautiful woman. If you want to take me back today, do it, if not I'll be taken away by another," she snapped, drawling out word per word.
Irene Xiao was already in such a daze. "I'm telling the truth! You have no idea how popular I am with the men." Aaron Zhao reeled back in disgust.
His forehead throbbed. He didn't know what was so good about Jonny Jiang that she wasn't able to give him up! Even in such a drunken daze, she still thought of him.
"Who am I?" he said calmly, trying to keep it together.
How ridiculous was this! Of course, she'd see Jonny Jiang!
She scowled. "Do you miss me?"
Before Aaron Zhao could respond, she continued, "I know you do, but you can't say it because of your dignity. Just admit it, Jonny. You still have me in your heart! Am I right?"

But as fate would have it, their paths crossed again. This time, Rena had another man by her side. Waylen's eyes burned with jealousy. He spat, "How the hell did you move on?

Now, if you want to date me, you have to wait in line." The next day, Rena received a credit alert of billions and a diamond ring. Waylen appeared again, got down on one knee, and uttered, "May I cut in line, Rena? I still want you."

"I will work for you till I pay back the amount in full.. I want to be a maid.. Please… I don't want to be a breeder" I started to plead once everyone left the ward.. He saw her begging but his stone cold heart didn't melt. "I never tasted a weak duckling Alpha.." He smirked and walked toward me.. I walked back with fear till I hit the wall. "I am not weak." I said in a low tone and tried to push him away.. But his solid body didn't move an inch.. I could not breathe properly because of his aura.. "I will make you beg me for pleasure…" His words disgusted me. I didn't talk back as his Alpha tone was overbearing.. I felt weak wherever he was touching me.. "You will be my toy till you get pregnant.." I turned my head away with disgust but he touched my cheek roughly and caught my chin. He made me look into his eyes.. His hand covered my neck and gripped it hard.. "I will come to you every night to f**k you.." His eyes became devilish as if he was looking at his prey.. Suddenly I felt scared of him more.. and my breathing became suffocating.. He is pressing my windpipe to make me suffer… My eyes become red while I shake my head slowly... "No… no.." I murmured and I forgot to breathe in his presence.. He was scaring hell out of me.. "Girl.. You will be lucky if you get pregnancy soon otherwise I will have my ways to f**k you.." I dropped my eyes not able to hear such f***y words.. Tears rolled down my cheeks when he loosened his grip.. I don't want to believe that my father sold me as a breeder.. I can't accept it.. "If you agree or not.. it doesn't matter.. spread your legs when I come to you.." He pushed me back again and the tip of his nose touched my cheek while I looked at him scarily.. He nibbled on the crook of my neck and kissed my sensitive places… "Remember I am your Alpha from now on and don't you dare to say no…" he said huskily and pushed me back fiercely.. His cruel and harsh words made me fall back on the ground..
