Five years ago, when Jarvis was looking for a surrogate mother, Nina came to him to pay off her brother's medical bills. She gave birth to the twins. When they met again, she didn't recognize him. However, he had been missing her for all these years. He swore to himself that he would never let her run away this time. While the lovely baby twins became their father's little helpers to get their mother back home.
The Maybach slowed down before the giant villa. The street lights seeping through the windows illuminated the inside of the car. Sitting inside the car, Nina Lin's heart was beating wildly. She was nervous and scared, but there was no way back.
She arrived at the villa and waited until the butler opened the door. She nodded politely before entering into the villa.
Her eyes had been covered by a piece of cloth.
They wouldn't let her know the identity of the buyer.
Yes. At the moment, she was nothing but a commodity who was being sold to someone who'd enjoy her at his will.
She had to make this sacrifice just for her little brother who was lying in the hospital bed for his heart operation. Her brother inherited this congenital heart disease from their father. When their father was diagnosed with the disease, their mother left them. Her father died not long after, leaving the two of them alone.
She bit her lips to get a hold of her mind. She needed to be strong. For her brother.
"Are you scared?" a deep, almost hypnotizing voice asked her from not afar.
Jarvis Ji was observing her since she entered the room. She had been clumsily moving around and biting her lips, causing her lips to swell and turn red. They looked so inviting that he felt the urge to bite on them.
"No, I'm not." It was a lie. She was obviously scared. She would have escaped from here right at this moment if it was possible. But now the only thing she could do was to comfort herself by repeating the words that she wasn't scared.
Jarvis Ji stood up and took a step towards her. Nina Lin sensed someone approaching her. The place was so quiet that except her own breathing she couldn't hear any sound. Although she tried to calm her nerves, a tremor ran down spine. She trembled helplessly even if she tried not to.
"I don't like forcing. If you're unwilling, you can leave at any time." Although Jarvis Ji was determined to take his son to join his grandpa's 80th birthday celebration, he didn't want to force her.
"No! I'm willing to!" Nina Lin sounded a little too eager as she was immensely concerned for her brother's operation. She couldn't just leave because her brother needed her support.
As soon as the words left her, she was picked up by a pair of strong arms in a bridal style and held her close to his chest. She was so close to his chest she practically could hear his heartbeat. The steady and powerful rhythm of his heartbeat made her unreasonably calm down.
She had imagined her buyer as a pervert or an old man. But now that she was in his close proximity, he didn't match her expectation.
"Don't worry. I will be gentle," he whispered. As a result, her heart started beating faster. "If you feel any pain, you tell me to stop."
The man took her to a bedroom on the second floor before slowly putting her on a bed. He got onto work as soon as he put her down. She was hyperventilating at his touch. He certainly knew how to touch a woman.
Her clothes were taken off her body, and she felt more and more nervous.
"Don't move," he softly ordered. Her soft body, bright red lips and chubby cheeks excited him in an instant. It was now impossible to stop. "Didn't you just say that you were not scared?"
Upon hearing this, she breathed heavily, trying to compose herself.
"I'm not scared."
The moment she said those words, he leaned in, closing the distance between them and pressed his lips against hers. Things got heated as their bodies crashed into each other.
At the back of her mind, she still had this question about this person weird demand. What kind of man was he? Why did he need her to give birth to a baby for him? First, she was told only in-vitro fertilization was needed. But three days ago, they said she had to sleep with a man. Otherwise, the transaction would be cancelled. For this, they would give her another five million, and thus she couldn't refuse the offer.
Her brother's surgery and the recuperation after that needed a lot of money. She had researched a lot and found out that the best way of quick recovery was to go to the United States, where the latest technology was available. That was why she needed money. A lot of money.
In the meantime, the man was becoming more and more restless with each passing moment. His full focus was on exploring her body. He began to move his lips on hers before slowly making his way down.
"May I know your name?" she asked.
Jarvis Ji looked up at her and pinched her chin. "Sorry, you can't." He went back continue his unfinished business. She felt his hot breath on her body, inciting a tingling sensation in her. She arched her body up into him and wrapped her arms around him.
The night passed in a blink.
Next morning when she woke up, the man had already left. She didn't even get time to look at his face.
She sat on the bed, looking around groggily when she heard a knock on the door. "Miss Lin, I'm the maid of this house. My name is Lea Liu. Our master has asked to take you to clean up."
Nina Lin covered herself with the bed sheet and replied, "No, thanks. I'll go by myself."
"Our master also asked to inform you that the deposit has been transferred to your account."
Nina nodded dully, acknowledging that.
She was sore all over. Last night was her first time and she would never forget the experience.
After Lea Liu left, Nina Lin wrapped a bath towel around herself and went to the bathroom to take a bath. She saw the bath had already been prepared. She got into the bathtub and relaxed down. Her mind kept replaying the thought that if she gave birth to this child, her brother's disease could be cured.
A while later, she took out her phone and transferred the money to her best friend, Nancy Zeng, who was taking care of her brother.
Nina Lin and her brother were twins of opposite sex. The two of them looked alike, but the disease caught her brother in its grasp. She feel guilty for not being able to do anything about it.
There was a possibility that her brother's children could also inherit the disease.
She thought he was deprived of his health because of her, so she must do everything to his brother's disease for a lifetime.
At a very young age, her mother left them, and they lost their father to this chronic disease. She was left with none but her brother. People around her used to bully her, but she had no one to stand up for her.
Only a senior schoolmate who surnamed Ji stood by her. Whenever she had a hard time, he'd always encouraged her, which was probably the only comfort in those darkest years. But now she was no longer pure and had no right to call for him.
The same day, at night, the man came again.
Her eyes were still covered. Tonight was different than yesterday. He wasn't as gentle as last night, but it wasn't painful anymore, rather it was pleasurable.
They made love again and again.
