To get enough money to save her family, Alice agreed to be a surrogate mother. She never met the father of the baby, and she didn't get a chance to see the new-born baby before it was taken away from her. Five years later, when she was offered a job to look after a little boy, she agreed readily. Little did she know that her life was about to change completely.
At the entrance of Hilton Hotel, a middle-aged woman with a cold face stood.
Her eyes narrowed as she stared at the young woman who had just gotten out of the taxi.
The young woman was about eighteen years old. She looked so elegant and pure, and she was about 1.67 meters tall. She had a slender body and long black hair that hung down to her waist. The white gauze dress she was wearing loomed her figure. As she got out of the car, the hemline of her dress gently swayed. Her whole body exuded the pure and lively aura of a young woman.
But what was the use of being so pure and beautiful? She still had to sell herself for money, anyway.
The middle-aged woman hid the jealousy that inadvertently showed in her eyes and urged the young woman in an unfriendly tone, "Hurry up! You've signed a contract. Don't waste my time. Follow me."
After speaking, she quickly turned around and strode into the hotel. She had already booked a room in advance.
Upon hearing the middle-aged woman, Alice Luo trembled all over. She pressed her lips tightly and followed the middle-aged woman, clutching her dress awkwardly.
On the top floor of this solemn and luxurious hotel, the corridors painted with angels and gods were deep and long.
As Alice walked in her high heels that fell on the thick carpet, she felt like walking in the clouds.
The middle-aged woman was sent by the agency to deliver Alice here. After walking along the corridor, she stopped in front of the only presidential suite at the far end. She then turned around and stared at the trembling young woman. There was no trace of humanity on her serious and stereotypical face. Her tone was also cold when she spoke.
"Go inside and wait. The client will be here in an hour. Be good, okay?"
Alice's pretty face turned deathly pale. She was still in a trance when she pushed the heavy door open with her trembling hands. She had no other choice but to follow what the middle-aged woman had said.
The air inside was so cold that she shivered.
The lights weren't turned on yet. The dark room was like a big black mouth that was about to swallow her when she entered.
The coldness and darkness of the surroundings frightened her. She hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to step inside.
Was she really going to do this?
There seemed to be a voice in her heart that asked, "Are you sure you want to sell yourself for the huge debt owed by your father? Are you really sure about this?"
"Get in!" Seeing that Alice was hesitating, the middle-aged woman got dissatisfied and pushed her into the room.
Alice staggered a few steps forward and fell into the pitch-black room.
Before she could even stand up, the thick door was slammed shut from the outside.
Darkness enveloped her in an instant. The sound of the door closing seemed to be the final sentence, shaking her delicate body.
"Dad..." Alice was overwhelmed by fear and anxiety. But she could only squat at the door and sob.
Hot tears started to form in her eyes, but she had to stop them from falling.
Bitterness surged up in her heart as her eyelashes trembled uneasily. Her mind was in a daze.
After a long time, Alice slowly stood up, holding the cold wall. Her eyes gradually adapted to the darkness of the room. She looked around and saw clearly the furnishings of the room.
The most striking thing was the king-size bed in the middle that could seem to accommodate seven or eight people.
Restraining the resistance and soreness in her heart, she gently moved to the edge of the bed and sat down.
The clean dark bed sheet was soft, but she felt that it was thorny, piercing her heart.
Her father's failure in business and the massive debt were the first catastrophe in her good years.
She had to endure her stepmother's sharp words and her stepsister's yelling every day. And her father got more anxious and irritated until he became seriously ill. His treatment needed a lot of money, which made their family's situation worse.
Only a large sum of money could bring back peace to their family. But she just went to college. Where could she get such an amount of cash?
Until one day, she came into contact with an extremely mysterious organization by chance.
She had to bear a child of an unknown client in exchange for three million dollars.
And the place where she had to get pregnant was on this giant bed.
She knew that this was such a shameful thing to do.
But what else could she do?
As an ordinary college student, she didn't have any means of making money.
Without the three million dollars, her family would fall apart. And the father she loved the most might not be able to hold on and would just die in the end.
As time passed, there was no other sound in the pitch-black room except for Alice's shallow breathing.
She waited until her hands and feet became cold.
Feeling dizzy, she was about to doze off when she suddenly heard the "click" sound.
Then the sound of the door being pushed open followed. Someone arrived.
She sobered up at once, stood up, and took two steps back towards the corner.
There was suffocating darkness in front of her.
Then the door was closed.
Did the client come in?
Alice's body stiffened. But she tried her best to open her eyes wide. She could vaguely see a tall silhouette standing silently in the dim light.
The aura emitted by the figure alone was enough to suffocate her.
Although she couldn't see his face clearly, she could feel the powerful and aggressive aura emanating from his body. It was something that only belonged to a king.
"Who are you?" Alice asked in a trembling voice. She felt so dizzy and at a loss for what to do next.
Until now, she still felt so surreal. Was she really going to bear the child of this man in front of her?
The man's sharp and cold eyes squinted at the young woman in the room, with casual scrutiny. He could see that she was still in her early puberty stage. She stood gracefully, and her waist was so slim that one arm was enough to wrap around it.
The man did not answer her question. But a few moments later, a deep, mellow sneer sounded casually.
"Are you even an adult?" he asked coldly.
As he asked, he walked towards her.
