After Roonie Moore's mother died, her father married another woman in the twinkling of an eye. From then on, the little princess became Cinderella. Shannon Harris was cold-blooded, resolute in business and awed by everyone, but he never forgot Roonie after one night stand. So he offered a deal - three years of marriage. Within three years, she dealt with the scandal for him, and he helped her recover the property left by her mother. But Roonie didn't predict that this deal costs her lifetime.
It was hot.
Waves of strange heat were coming over Ronnie Moore, making her feel like she had been set over a pile of burning sticks.
"Miss Moore, are you feeling unwell? May I help you get into the room for a rest?" A nasty middle-aged man took Ronnie's hand and stared greedily at her pinkish lips.
"No, thank you." Ronnie tried to shake off the man's hand but failed.
The man clung to Ronnie like a piece of gum, and his stinky mouth was moving closer to her face.
Ronnie was getting hot and anxious inside.
She had drunk a glass of wine handed to her by her fiancé, Leslie Payne, and then her head felt dizzy, and her body grew uncomfortable.
Had Leslie added something to the drink?
That was impossible!
He had always been nice to her, and they were actually about to get married.
Ronnie stopped thinking.
She pinched her palm with her nails to stay awake. The man in front of her was stalking her, his eyes full of greed. Obviously, he should know something.
Ronnie tried to calm herself down, then suddenly stopped, looked behind the man, pretended to be surprised, and said, "President Ward, that lady back there looks like your wife, doesn't she?"
"What? Where is she?" The man was taken aback and could not help but turn back.
Ronnie took advantage of the man's distraction and hurried to run away, gritting her teeth.
Realizing that he had been tricked, the middle-aged man then chased after Ronnie in the direction she had fled.
Ronnie's footsteps were weak and unstable, and she knew that the man would catch up with her soon. Suddenly, she noticed that the door to one room was ajar, and without thinking, she pushed her way through it.
She slammed the door shut and stumbled straight towards the bathroom.
The heat inside was killing her.
She desperately needed to take a cold shower to sober herself up.
However, as she pushed open the door to the bathroom, she slammed into a warm broad chest.
Ronnie took a few steps backward, her limp body nearly falling over as she lost her balance.
The man coming out of the bathroom grabbed her around the waist to prevent her from falling, then Ronnie threw herself into his arms.
She raised her eyes to see a man in a bathrobe that was loose enough to reveal his chest. The man's firm healthy-tanned skin was glowing with a sheen, his deep clear-cut features incredibly handsome.
Ronnie felt her brain buzzing, and she was about to lose control of herself!
She bit her bottom lip tightly, and her nails were getting deep into her palms.
"No! No!" She said to herself in her mind.
"Ronnie, you cannot do that!"
At the thought that the disgusting middle-aged man outside the door might not be gone yet, she had to force herself to face the stranger before her eyes.
She begged, "Sorry to have bothered you. Someone is looking for me outside. I was wondering if you..."
Shannon Harris furrowed his pretty brows, impatience evident in his sharp gaze. "What does that have to do with me? Get out!"
In fact, he had accidentally been poisoned by a rival in business this night. He had just managed to tamp down the fire inside. However, the flames were getting stronger and stronger once again.
Those businessmen who wanted to work with Shannon could do anything to achieve their goals.
"Please help."
Seeing the tears welling up in the woman's eyes, he averted his eyes. "I'll say it again! Get out immediately!" His forehead was oozing with sweat.
Ronnie's consciousness was beginning to blur, and there was an unusual shade of red in her face.
She took a weak step forward, tugged at the corner of the man's bathrobe, and said in an aggrieved voice, "I'm feeling so hot and sick. Please help me."
The look in Shannon's eyes became obscure as he looked straight at the woman in his arms, asking, "What do you want me to help you with?"
"Just help me..."
Before the woman could finish her words, Shannon slammed the bathroom door roughly shut with his foot.
"You've begged for this, so don't blame me."
The room temperature climbed up constantly, and a storm played out on the bed lasted for a long time...
