It began with a deal with the devil. To pay off her mother's debt, Lesley had no other choice but to sell herself to Derek. She became his contractual lover, the envy of every other woman in the city. Derek was fascinated with her from the moment he laid eyes on her, but he didn't expect her to walk right into his trap. He thought he had gained the upper hand in this game of love, but the truth was that, faced with her innocence and her addictive sweetness, he had already lost.
The house was particularly quiet in the still of the night. Lesley Ye's ring tone suddenly reverberated around the room. As she heard it, her heart tightened. She had a sinking feeling when she answered the call.
"Lesley, come to the casino now. You have to save me."
The familiar voice at the other end of the line made Lesley Ye frown. She clutched her phone tightly, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "I'll be there soon. Just text me the address."
After getting the address, Lesley Ye rushed to the casino. She trotted over to the hallway and turned at a corner. But all of a sudden, a tall and straight figure appeared in front of her. She was too shocked to even stop, so she bumped into the man. Lesley Ye felt like she hit a brick wall, but the man did not move at all. Taking two steps back, she stared at him in awe.
"Miss, are you okay?"
A cold and pleasant voice rang out in her ears that made her come back to her senses. She rubbed her nose and said, "I'm okay. I'm really sorry. I was in a hurry."
When Lesley Ye got a chance to see the man's face clearly, a trace of astonishment flashed through her eyes. At that moment, there was only a sentence that subconsciously formed in her mind, 'You never forget a pretty face.' Maybe it was even an understatement. But she couldn't think of any other suitable words to describe the man. He was more than just a pretty face. She could say that he was the most handsome man she had ever seen on earth.
He had perfect facial features. The pair of eyes below his delicate eyebrows were as deep and charming as the top-grade dark gem. His nose was tall and straight, and his thin lips were pursed into a beautiful arc. Even his expressionless face made him look more attractive.
The well-tailored black suit that he was wearing made him look taller and well proportioned. He looked noble and elegant. Even if he would just stand in a corner, he would definitely stand out, and people would be delighted to see him.
Derek Yun also stared at Lesley Ye in front of him. She was only wearing an ordinary business suit, and she had a delicate face. However, he thought that her facial features were well-matched, making her look so attractive to him.
He noticed that her nose had turned slightly red, and her eyes were misty. Perhaps she almost cried because of pain. But instead of crying, she politely apologized to him. She didn't even scold him. With this, he thought that the woman was cute.
"I'm really sorry again. I have something else to do, so I'll leave now." After apologizing again, Lesley Ye left in a hurry, without even giving Derek Yun a chance to say anything.
Feeling a little surprised, he just stared at her receding back and sighed. 'She is the first woman I've met who left me behind. Some women even try to bump into me intentionally just to catch my attention. She's interesting, ' he thought inwardly.
Griselda Ye's eyes lit up the moment she saw Lesley Ye approaching. Griselda Ye, who was wearing a low-cut red dress, was about to stand up. But she was pressed on the shoulder by the man beside her.
The bald man sitting opposite Griselda Ye had a ferocious look on his face. His fierce eyes scrutinized Lesley Ye's body. Fortunately, his voice was in sharp contrast with his appearance. "Little girl, are you Griselda's daughter?" he asked gently.
Instead of answering the man's question, Lesley Ye said, "How much does she owe you? I'll pay for her." She stood beside the gambling table calmly without showing any signs of fear.
"Okay," the bald man said. He then cast a glance at his subordinate and ordered, "Give her the bill." The subordinate walked up to Lesley Ye and handed her a piece of paper.
Lesley Ye looked at the piece of paper and frowned. "One million dollars? Why don't you just try to rob a bank?" One million was an astronomical number to her. 'Does he really think I am a fool?' she thought to herself.
"Cut the crap, woman! You have to pay me back today." The bald man smiled grimly. "Otherwise, the two of you won't be able to leave."
Lesley Ye looked around and noticed that some men in black were surrounding them. When her gaze shifted to Griselda Ye next to her, she sighed and said to the bald man, "Well, I'll pay you back."
She was then forced to sign a promissory note that she would pay the one million dollars in full next month. After that, she left the casino with Griselda Ye.
Inside a private room on the second floor, Derek Yun witnessed everything that happened in the hall through the window. As soon as the two women left, he looked away and thought, 'That woman looks weak, but she's not afraid of the bald man at all. She's getting more and more interesting.'
Lesley Ye walked out of the casino quickly, leaving Griselda Ye behind. Her heart was already filled with anger. This kind of situation had happened countless times. But no matter how angry she got, she would still come and rescue Griselda Ye. She had no choice. Griselda Ye was her mother and her only family now.
"Damn it! Why are you walking so fast? Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?" Griselda Ye scolded as she followed behind Lesley Ye. "How unfortunate I am to have such an unfilial daughter like you!"
"Do you really think I also want a mother like you?" This time, Lesley Ye couldn't hold back her anger anymore. She stopped, turned around, and looked at Griselda Ye coldly. "When did you even treat me as a daughter? If it weren't for Grandma, I would have died a long time ago from your maltreatment."
"Are you out of your mind?" Griselda Ye's eyes popped out of her head with anger. "If I have known that you'd become an unfilial child, I shouldn't have given birth to you."
"That's what you always say." Lesley Ye's voice was cold. "Yes, I owe you my life. But I have already paid you back over these years.
Gambling! That's all you do. And every time you have gambling debts, you call me to pay for them. I have been paying for all your gambling debts in the past few years. This time, you owe them another one million dollars. Do you think I have that kind of money to pay them?
I'm telling you, I'm done with it. From now on, I will never pay for you anymore."
Griselda Ye got more enraged with Lesley Ye's words. "I don't care! Do you also think that I want you to pay for me? Lesley, from this day, I will think that I never have a daughter like you." Griselda Ye then turned around and left.
Looking at Griselda Ye's receding back, Lesley Ye tried her best to hold back her tears. She didn't want to cry for Griselda Ye anymore. After a short while, she also turned around and left.
'Griselda is my mother, but she has been beating and cursing me since I could remember. She has always given me a hard time. Ever since I've started making money, she would ask me to pay for her gambling debts every two or three days. She has never cared about my life. But why would I feel heartbroken now that we fall out with each other?' she thought.
"I'm sorry, Miss Ye. Our company is too small to accommodate you. I suggest that you try with other companies." The interviewer gave Lesley Ye an unhappy look. It was as if she wanted to drive her away with a broom.
In her mind, she thought, 'She is just a college student who has not even graduated yet. How dare she ask for an annual salary of one million dollars! Does she think she is made of diamonds? She's sick in the head!'

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. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. 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.
