The moment he set his eyes on her, a burning desire lit up inside of him. Gregorio couldn't care less for any woman, but once his gaze met Chloe's at her birthday party, he knew he wanted her all to himself. Out of jealousy, Chloe's sister and stepmother decided to set her up. Groggy and drugged, she suddenly bumped into a mysterious man. The woman in front of Gregorio had a wild aroma, clouding his mind with desire as he approached her step by step. Holding his prey in his arms, he opened the door and whisked her away. After the wild and passionate night they spent together, she found herself trapped in the claws of possessive love.
Chloe Chu's snow-white body remained buried in warm water. The condensation of water had turned the bathroom foggy. Suddenly, she wanted to have a petal bath.
"Miss, are you done? The party is about to begin," said Yvonne Ye, her maid, as she nervously stood outside the bathroom. She didn't know why ladies of rich families were so troublesome. Chloe Chu had already had her makeup done. But being a cleanliness freak, she had announced she needed a bubble bath.
Being her maid, Yvonne Ye had no choice but to pander to her every whim.
"Yvonne!" Chloe's soft voice came from inside the bathroom.
"Yes! Miss, do you want something?"
"Yes. Would you bring me some rose petals?"
"Okay!"
Yvonne Ye turned around to look for the petals, but the spare petals in the room had been used up. She quickly ran to the garden and plucked some.
Once she was gone, a slightly fat figure sneaked into Chloe's room. Looking around, she made sure nobody was present.
Lucia Chu's eyes fell on Chloe's gorgeous evening dress that remained splayed on the bed.
A sinister smile appeared on her face.
"Ha-ha, I'll make your day memorable! People won't stop talking about you!" Determined to put her vicious thoughts into action, she moved towards the bed.
Her big fat hands mercilessly broke the thread of the button around the chest area of the dress. The thread was not completely broken, so that Chloe Chu wouldn't find out. But after she wore the dress for a while, the thread would break completely and reveal her breasts. 'That will do, ' she thought with satisfaction.
A complacent smile appeared on her face.
"Can't wait to see you in this beautiful dress," she muttered under her breath.
Before Yvonne Ye returned, Lucia Chu slowly walked out of Chloe's room.
"Miss, hurry up. You forgot to put on your necklace," Yvonne Ye said, busily readying Chloe Chu for the party.
It was Chloe Chu's birthday party, but Yvonne Ye seemed more nervous than her. She took several sets of jewelry and asked Chloe Chu which one she liked best.
The truth was, Chloe Chu had no interest in parties. If it was up to her, she would have cancelled it. But her father, Nicolas Chu, insisted on holding this party. He said her 22nd birthday was important. As his oldest daughter, it was her duty to hold a magnificent party to entertain the Chu family's relatives and friends.
Chloe Chu lazily looked at herself in the mirror. After she changed into the evening dress, she was a sight to behold. This dress accentuated her waist, hugged her hips, and flared out a bit. She looked as beautiful as a Barbie doll.
"Miss, you'd better wear this. This necklace suits your fair skin," Yvonne Ye said, pointing to a necklace.
After taking a glance at the necklace, Chloe Chu replied, "Okay." Then Yvonne Ye quickly put the necklace on her neck. The shining diamond necklace was like a cherry on the top, making her even more elegant.
This necklace was a gift from his father, Nicholas Chu. He had brought it from Italy when he had gone there for a business trip. It was made of dozens of crystal diamonds from South Africa. And now it was shining brightly on Chloe's neck.
"Wow, miss, you look breath-taking today! If you show up like this, you will undoubtedly be the spotlight of the day." Yvonne Ye couldn't her but clap her hands with excitement.
Chloe was glad to have Yvonne Ye by her side. Even though the maid was quite talkative, she often showered her with compliments. She didn't expect that the maid's words would hit the nail on the head.
Tonight's birthday party was livelier than her previous ones. The Chu family had invited almost all the important people of the city to witness Chloe's birthday. People from all spheres of life were present. Some were businessmen whereas others were politicians. Even some celebrities took time out of their busy schedules to be here.
For the Chu family, this was not an ordinary birthday party. Instead, it held both commercial and political value.
Nicholas Chu had made up his mind to take advantage of this birthday party by negotiating some cooperation matters. So tonight's banquet had to be held in a decent and magnificent way, making every guest feel at home.
"Nicholas! How old is your daughter?" Nicholas' friend asked, teasing him.
"Twenty-two years old," Nicholas Chu replied and smiled proudly.
"Ah, how time flies! In the twinkling of an eye, that girl of yours has grown. I even hugged her when she was a child," said his friend.
"Yes, it's time to find a suitable man for her. If you know someone, please introduce him to me." As her father, Nicholas Chu worried a great deal about his daughter's marriage.
"Wow! Your daughter deserves an excellent man. And I can't think of anyone who deserves her," his friend replied.
After a while, the lights in the hall became dim. Soon, the focus turned to the stairways.
The host of the banquet announced, "Dear guests, the protagonist of our banquet tonight is making her grand entrance. Welcome our protagonist, Miss Chloe Chu."
After hearing that, the audience applauded. Their loud applause resounded through the hall.
Chloe Chu moved gracefully, appearing in front of the eager guests.
Fluttering her long eyelashes, she smiled at everyone present. Her elegance was incomparable. The high bun made her look more royal than a noble princess.
Her snow-white neck, elegant collarbone and charming chest were partly hidden and partly visible. This gorgeous dress made her as charming as a princess walking out of an ancient castle.
The violinists in the banquet began to play elegant minuet. Catching her dress gracefully, she reached the end of the stairs. Her presence had brought pin-drop silence to the hall.
Nobody was interested in talking any more. They looked at her with all their eyes.
Among these admirers, there was a pair of sharp eyes that looked at Chloe intently, ever since the host announced her arrival.
His eyes were like that of a cheetah's, glued to her plump breasts.
The moment he saw Chloe Chu, he felt he was so thirsty. So he gulped down his wine.
However, his eagle-like eyes had no affect Chloe Chu. She simply walked down the stairs, oblivious of his stare. Chloe Chu lowered her eyes, giving everyone a better glimpse of her long eyelashes.
'Oh c'mon! Fall off already!' Lucia Chu thought to herself. She and her mother, Madeline Bai, snuggled up in the corner and watched Chloe Chu. They wanted Chloe Chu to be humiliated in front of the guests.
