A glass of wine sent her straight into the devil's trap. To save her friend, Carol got herself into trouble when she fell into the hands of a group of gangsters. However, once enraptured by her beauty, the mysterious CEO, Sebastian, decided to protect her. After all, he didn't want to lose such a fetching prey. But while he thought he would be the winner of the game of love, as he always was, jealousy was quick to prove him wrong. Undoubtedly, Carol had nowhere to run now.
In Las Vegas, the night was beautiful. A full moon shone brightly in the dark sky, which was sprinkled with stars, lending an ethereal glow.
When Carol Qiao walked out of the building, it was already dark outside.
She looked up at the stars shining in the sky. It was only after she stepped out of office did she realize how late it was. She had a long day at work because she encountered a difficult case. Carol Qiao thought to herself, 'But it's okay. I am an intern. It doesn't matter if I have to work hard.' Being born in a police family, she knew the demands of the job before joining the police force. She couldn't discredit her family. The Peace Apartment where she lived was not far from here. If she walked, it would only take about half an hour. But she still drove to work every day, because it was easier to catch bad guys in a car.
'I'd better head to the underground garage,' Carol Qiao thought. She located her car, opened the door and got in. The engine of the limited edition yellow Lamborghini roared to life and the car zoomed off into the night, sleek as a panther.
Suddenly, Carol Qiao's phone rang. She tapped her earphone to answer it, and Lisa's anxious voice came on the line. "I've got a difficult situation down here. Please help me! You are my only friend. I didn't know who else to call."
"Where are you?" Carol Qiao asked sharply. Her friend sounded terrified.
"At the bar where I work." Then she hung up the phone.
Carol Qiao immediately turned the car around and rushed to the bar where Lisa worked. Lisa, her friend and classmate, came from a poor family, so she worked as a part-time waitress through college. Carol Qiao had always warned her that it was a shady bar but Lisa would wave off her concern saying she knew well how to protect herself. With an exasperated sigh, Carol Qiao revved the engine and sped up.
A pungent smell hung in the air at the bar. A gorgeous woman was standing amid a crowd of dissolute men. Her seductive looks got her a lot of attention from the men.
This was a place for all kinds of debauchery. One could not expect any ethical behavior here! It was a watering hole for all kinds of immoral elements.
As soon as Carol Qiao entered the door, she spotted Lisa surrounded by a group of people. Carol despised the lax security here. The bar worker was surrounded by rowdy people, but no one came forward to take care of it.
"Hey, let her go. She's a waitress, not a barmaid. Do you hear me?" Carol's authoritative voice made them turn their heads. When they saw her beautiful face, they were stunned.
"Hello! How are you?" The gang leader snickered as he greeted her in English. Carol rolled her eyes at once. 'He is Chinese. It's so awkward to speak a foreign language.'
"Miss, is she your friend? Relax! There must be some misunderstanding." The leader of the group immediately signaled his lackeys to let go of Lisa and stared at Carol without blinking. She was breathtakingly beautiful. Her white skin was so delicate that it looked like porcelain.
The leader of the gang, Mike Wang, drooled. Seizing the opportunity, Lisa quickly scuttled away from the group and stood beside Carol.
"Miss, you are so beautiful. I would like to be friends with you. How about this? If you drink this glass of wine, I will let you go, okay? But if you don't, I will come back here to harass your friend next time,"
said Mike Wang with a lecherous smile. He took a glass of wine from the table and handed it to Carol. Surprised at how easily this was going to get sorted, Carol asked, "Really? If I drink this wine, you will let us go." 'I'm not good at fighting. Even if I was, I would be no match for them. It's good that they let us go,' she thought, thanking her lucky stars.
After contemplating his offer for a while, she took the glass and drained it quickly. "Great!" Mike Wang clapped his hands, with a smug look in his eyes.
After a while, everything went blurry for Carol and she fainted. She then was placed on the table. Seeing this, Lisa was scared stiff. She wanted to call her brother but Mike Wang noticed her reaching for her phone and immediately snatched it from her. He narrowed his eyes, giving her an unspoken warning to stop meddling.
The gang of thugs was watching her closely. There was no way she could call for help now. She was so frightened, but there was nothing she could do. She watched helplessly as Mike Wang carried Carol away to his box. 'Oh, Carol! I should have never called you here. I would rather let them take me instead of you,' Lisa thought in despair.
Sebastian Ouyang turned heads wherever he went. His handsome features, combined with his arrogant and cold attitude made him attractive but also untouchable to women.
Therefore, even though women would do anything to be his mistress, they would never dare to anger him. Girls would learn about his habits and hobbies, just so that they could be with him for a long time.
Ignoring all the fawning females, Sebastian Ouyang strode regally into the private elevator that took him straight to the VIP suite of the bar.
After entering the room, he immediately turned on the swanky wide-screen LCD TV and then casually tossed the remote control aside. He sprawled out on the plush leather sofa. In this relaxed position, he appeared less intimidating and more human. The bar belonged to him and he would often drop by to check on things. He had a habit of looking for his next prey on the security cameras. Usually, he would browse through all the videos within half an hour.
He zeroed in on desperate girls who were dying to do it. The affair would never last more than a week. He did not like to force girls, but those who were favored by him would always agree thanks to his status and sex appeal.
