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?"

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer.

Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
