Celia, born with a silver spoon in her mouth, suffered poverty because of her family's bankruptcy. Hogan, the powerful CEO, looked down upon everyone in the world. An accident started the gear of their fate. She was trapped with this bossy devil. His limitless adoration finally won her heart. She thought she would have lifetime happiness, but there was a storm brewing. He was the one she loved, but also the one who hurt her the most. Tempted by devil's whispers, she had to pay for the price.
Inside the Emperor Hotel, Terrell Su was a little nervous. The palms of his clasped hands under the table were already sweaty.
Sitting opposite him was Hogan Yin, the man who owned this most luxurious hotel in the city.
Terrell Su wouldn't underestimate the other man because he was so young.
He knew that behind Hogan Yin's handsome face hid his dark personality. His ability to almost control the lifeblood of the business world in Asia was far beyond his age.
But Terrell Su had been waiting for this opportunity for five years. He must convince Hogan Yin to cooperate with him for the successful transformation of his S Group.
"Go on," Hogan Yin said coldly.
"I've already presented to you everything. So, what do you think?" Terrell Su replied.
He was beginning to lose confidence because of Hogan Yin's brief words. "By the way, I prepared a gift for you. I hope you'll like it."
He then stood up and left the room.
Hogan Yin was so unpredictable that Terrell Su found it difficult to figure out what he was thinking. Even the expression on his face had never changed since they started to talk.
But Terrell Su was hoping that Hogan Yin would like the gift he prepared for him and give him a positive response later.
Without looking at him, Hogan Yin turned around and walked to the bathroom.
When he was walking along the corridor, Terrell Su saw Celia Su striding towards him. "Dad!"
she called out with an anxious look on her face. "Go to the hospital now! Mom had a car accident."
Terrell Su felt like he was struck by lightning. After a few seconds of being stupefied, he said, "Celia, go to Room 108 and get my bag."
All his cash and credit cards were in his bag. He needed them to pay for his wife's medical expenses.
Celia Su nodded and walked towards Room 108 while Terrell Su ran to his car.
Since the door was not locked, Celia Su just pushed it open and came in. When she was about to pick up Terrell Su's bag, the bathroom door opened, and she heard footsteps behind her.
She turned around, and her eyes met with a pair of cold deep-set black eyes that were staring at her as if she was prey.
Hogan Yin raised his eyebrows. He wondered if this was the gift that Terrell Su was referring to.
He just went to the bathroom, and when he came out, the woman was already in the room. He didn't expect that a person like Terrell Su would offer such a beauty.
The corners of his mouth curved up. Actually, he intended to leave after coming out of the bathroom. But now, he seemed to have changed his mind. He got interested in the woman in front of him.
Celia Su was about to leave, but a hand grabbed her arm.
She raised her head and looked at the strange man in front of her in surprise.
"What are you doing?" she shouted.
Her face turned pale with fright in an instant. She tried to push him away, but she failed. Hogan Yin held her wrist tightly, pushed her to the bed, and pressed her down.
She kicked and struggled hard to avoid his hands that started to wander around her body. But he was so strong that she couldn't get rid of him.
She began to feel pain, so she shouted in panic, "Go away! Let go of me!"
"Let go of you? Aren't you prepared by Terrell Su for me?"
Hogan Yin stopped what he was doing and looked at Celia Su coldly. "It's the reason why you're here, isn't it?"
He then tore up her blouse and pressed his body against hers.
Celia Su got more terrified as she gasped for breath.
Unfortunately, Hogan Yin found her frightened look very attractive. So, he tore up her skirt as well.
He found her naive expression amusing and she looked more appealing to him. He was about to take her in when the door opened.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Hogan Yin's room?" A coquettish woman stood at the door and stared at the bed blankly, mouth agape.
She was sent here to entertain Hogan Yin. Why was there another woman in his room?
"Fuck off!" Hogan Yin roared. He despised the sudden interruption of his pleasure. The coquettish woman trembled with fear, so she quickly closed the door and ran away.
Celia Su got more frightened by his voice, but Hogan Yin didn't mind her. He turned back to her and continued what he was doing.
After a long time, he felt satisfied, so he finally let go of her.
Staring at her beautiful face, he took a deep breath. Her body was so soft and beautiful that he lost control just now.
Seeing that her shoulders were trembling while she was still lying on the bed, Hogan Yin reached out his hand, wanting to pull her up.
But he remembered that she was a prostitute. It was her job to entertain men for money.
With this thought, he sneered and put his hand on her shoulder.
But before he could say anything, Celia Su yelled, "Fuck off!" She turned and stared at him, her eyes full of loathing. Disgust was written all over her face. "Bastard! You are so disgusting!"
Hogan Yin's face darkened at once. He was the CEO of the Yin Group.
How dare this woman scolded him so harshly!
The hatred in her beautiful eyes made him angry. He looked down and stared at her, his expression was cold and arrogant. "How much did Terrell Su pay you? Don't you know that he used you as a bargaining chip so he could win my favor to collaborate with him?"
"You..." Celia Su gritted her teeth in silent fury. She took a deep breath and was about to argue with Hogan Yin, but he already put on his clothes and walked out of the room without looking back.
He slammed the door shut. Celia Su only caught sight of his back while he was buttoning up his shirt unhurriedly.
Celia Su was left fuming on the bed. She grabbed the quilt and sobbed for a long time.
Her whole body was so weak, and she felt like her heart was cut into pieces.
Deep inside her, she kept on shouting, 'I'm not a bargaining chip. My father will never use me for business. No way!'
