She was only an average girl who wanted an ordinary life. He was the king of the lavish world, where everyone tried hard to win his favor. The moment he fixed his eyes on her, he knew she was the one he wanted. Lured into his trap, she spent a wild night with him. She took it as a one night stand, but Cupid had another plan. To make up for her father's mistake in work, she came to him, where obsession, madness, and temptation awaited.
The night was always the beginning of the city's splendor. Some people wanted to enjoy and relax after the day's hard work while some wanted to celebrate something. And the best place to promote this splendor was the jovial and passionate Flame Bar. In this place, you couldn't feel the night at all. Young men and women filled the dance floor, shaking and twisting their bodies to the beat of the ear-splitting music. There were also some private rooms that accommodated guests from the upper class.
The door of the best VIP room was pushed open, and a group of young people walked in. The man at the forefront was the youngest but the most powerful figure in J City.
He had a perfect figure comparable to European male models and a handsome and charming appearance. The corners of his mouth also habitually curved into a faint smile. He stood out from the crowd. Upon seeing such a perfect man, even the male species couldn't help but turn their heads and glance at him a few more times.
The moment he walked into the private room, Kyng Shen, who was sitting on the sofa and lecturing the manager of the bar, saw him. Kyng soothed his anger, walked up to him, and greeted him with a warm smile. "Ryan, you are as punctual as always."
The man that Kyng called Ryan smiled and said, "My grandpa is a soldier and demands that I be punctual. I have been living with him since I was a child. I won't ever tolerate lateness."
Upon hearing his words, Kyng nodded his head in agreement.
Ryan Yan glanced at Kyng, but didn't say anything more. He just walked to the armchair and sat down.
Kyng couldn't see through Ryan's current mood, so he glared at the manager and said, "Hurry up, do what I've told you to do."
"Gentlemen, please wait a moment." The manager was scared out of his wits when he saw the look in Kyng's eyes.
After all, the man sitting in front of him was Ryan, the young man who could make everyone in J City tremble. And the man standing in front of him was Kyng, who was from the famous Shen family. Aside from being Ryan's best friend, Kyng was also the owner of Flame Bar. As a mere manager, how could he afford to offend these two big shots?
As soon as the manager finished his words, he turned around and walked out of the private room. When he thought of Ryan sitting in there, he couldn't help but shiver. He was afraid that if he made a mistake, he would not be able to live his life in peace anymore. He was so frightened that he didn't even have time to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead.
Kyng was a little satisfied after seeing the manager's reaction. He turned around and looked at Ryan, who was sitting in silence. With an apologetic smile, he said, "I'm sorry; it is so hard to find a woman you like."
"I didn't ask you to find a woman for me." Ryan then accepted the wine a friend near him offered, took a sip, and curled his lips.
"But it's your last night of being single. How can you not want a woman?" Kyng said exaggeratedly, stretching out his hands. He looked at their other friends in the private room. "Guys, tell me, should Ryan not enjoy his last night of being single?"
One of their friends answered, "Of course, he has to. Although Alia is a beauty, you will have to face her every day starting tomorrow. Tonight is your last free night. Why don't you take advantage of it and enjoy yourself? I believe that a generous person like Alia will understand." The rest of the people in the private room cheered up. The atmosphere inside became lively.
They already knew what was meant to happen tonight, so they all had meaningful smiles on their faces.
Kyng looked at Ryan, whose expression hadn't changed at all despite the crowd's persuasion. He said, "Ryan, I especially reserved this private room for you, so you can enjoy those beauties tonight."
The private room where they were currently in had special glass walls. People inside could see the whole bar clearly. But the people outside couldn't see the inside of the private room.
Upon hearing Kyng's words, Ryan raised his head slightly. Then he saw the manager walking along the corridor with a group of beautifully-dressed bar girls.
