Chapter 1
"Please! Please don't do this now... I am not ready." She pleaded desperately, trying to stop the man from tearing off her clothes.
"You have never been ready, I can no longer hold back" the man groaned, his voice filled with determination.
"Please! At least not now" she tried to beg more maybe he would listen but it was in vain.
"No! Now, you'd better pull yourself together and lay sexily on the bed for me or you are really going to hate this moment"
"No! No! No!" She shook her head, trying to stop him but he would not listen and raising his hands up, he slapped her hard, making her fall to the bed that was behind them.
Her body collapsed into the soft material with a gasp followed by cries as she rubbed her palms together, begging him to leave her alone.
"You have been my girlfriend for six months! Six months and you do not want me to have sex with you?! You must be kidding" he grunted as he tied her hands tightly with his tie that had been thrown on the bed few minutes ago.
Pressing her roughly down to the bed, he jerked her ripped shirt off her body and began to press her body roughly.
Tears rolled down her cheeks as he pulled down her panties with quite a lot of effort.
In the process, her kicking leg hit his face and he gasped, then spat on her.
"Hit me one more time and you are not going to like me ever again!!" He pushed down his trousers and pulled himself in between her legs as she tried weakly to get her legs closed but she was too weak against the bigger man.
He pulled his way through and let his manhood drive into her virgin pussy, breaking her and tearing her apart.
"Aaaaaargh!!!"
She let out a loud scream.
*
"Aaaaaargh!!!" She screamed as she woke up from the dream.
She was sweating profusely and panting heavily when she woke up. She ran her hands over her body and was relieved that she was still totally clothed.
Her alarm went off at that minute and she turned it off with still heavy breaths. She got off her bed and opened the curtains for light to shine into the room before stepping in front of the only mirror in the room.
She checked her neck and found that the bruise was still there from the rape incident after all it had only been just a week since she had been raped by her now EX boyfriend, Lucas.
She hated him so much and wanted to kill him if she could. He had not only had sex with her forcefully, he had made her first time hell, he had made her start growing afraid of sex and still yet after all of this, he had broken up with her right after the sex with the most hurtful words ever.
The sex, the breakup or the hurtful words... She could not say which was more painful.
"The only reason I was after you was because I wanted to get in between your legs and now that I have done so, it's nothing magical or pleasing, you are just like every random pussy"
She blinked back the tears that were gathering in her eyes as she recalled the words of her ex boyfriend.
"I am the fool but I will never be a fool again" she mumbled and let her hair down to cover the bruise on her neck.
The one she hated the most was him, her ex boyfriend, Lucas and the concept she hated the most since that ugly event was love. After all, if it was not for love, they would never have come close enough for him to be able to take advantage of her.
She gulped hard, vowing once more to do away with love.
She stepped away from the mirror and head into her bathroom to get ready for the day's work at the restaurant.
She was Lucienne Gray, 26 an orphan with no single relative, she hardly felt love all her life and the one time she thought she felt it had ended last week, she worked at Creamy Restaurant, a restaurant that was not too far from her home, there was not much details about her, to her, she was just one insignificant person in the midst of billions of people in the world.
She finished taking her bath in no time and dressed up randomly after which she made use of some makeup to cover up the bruises that she had.
When she was sure that the bruises were properly covered, she picked her bag and her phone, checking her mail as she stepped out of her room, there was no messages for her, she sighed softly like she had been expecting a message.
Well, she had been, after all she had applied for the position of a secretary at the Winston Corporations.
"Maybe I am just as unlucky as I have always been and still can't get this job" she mumbled and stepped out of her home only to find out that it was cloudy.
It definitely was going to be a rainy day, she stepped back into her home and moved over to the umbrella in her home.
She reached to pick it but hesitated, that jerk, Lucas had bought the umbrella for her and she wanted to rip the umbrella apart at that moment but she knew she needed to use it for the day.
She'd better keep it and save the money for getting a new one.
With a sigh of resignation, she picked the umbrella and stepped out of her home, locking the door behind her.
She walked through the streets and got to Creamy Restaurant in no time but she was a bit too early and her boss was not there, the restaurant was still locked and she had to stay outside, holding the umbrella to shield herself from the rain that had just started.
A few minutes later, a man dressed in all black and wearing a face cap approached her and Lucienne could only wonder what the shady man was doing, walking up to her.
"Who are you?" She asked the man when he was close enough but he said nothing.
The streets were pretty dry, perhaps due to the fact that it was raining, Lucienne panicked slightly, it was obvious to her now that she was growing afraid of men rapidly.
Her hands trembled slightly and the umbrella dropped from her hands, rolling over to a spiky wood that stabbed into it but Lucienne cared less about the umbrella at that minute.
"Do you have coffee?" The man finally spoke up.
"Ugh?"
"I want coffee, do you have coffee?" The man reiterated and she let out a sigh of relief, knowing that the man was just a customer.
"We are not opened yet sir so the answer is no"
She still could not get a glimpse of the man's face as the man kept his gaze down and his face cap helped with it too.
The man looked over to umbrella and walked over to a black car, which made Lucienne conclude quickly that black was the man's favorite color.
She watched the man open his car and bring out an umbrella, he returned to her and stretched the umbrella to her.
"Ugh? Thank you so much but there is no need for it" she tried to refuse but the man simply dropped the umbrella on the floor beside her.
"Next time, hold onto your things properly, who knows what next you might damage" with those words, the man turned and left for his car.
Lucienne looked towards the damaged umbrella.
"Good riddance" She mumbled.
Lucienne bent down and picked the umbrella up, there were two letters on it.
WD.
"WD? Weird but nice" she pressed her lips into a thin line as she watched the black car zoom away.
"Wh... What are you doing?" She stuttered out her words in a soft whisper as his hands caressed her face gently. "What do you think I am doing, Jia Li?" His deep, hot voice questioned her. His voice made Jia Li gulp down, he sounded so hot, so sexy. "I am... I am your father's bride" she pulled away from him with the last resolve inside of her. "I might be truly too young for your father but... But he is the king and you are his son and..." she began rambling. He threw his head backwards, his hair flipping. "I do not care" he pulled her back to him. With his face leaned close, eyes gazing into each other and his arm wrapped around her waist. "If you don't want this, it's okay to run away" he whispered huskily to her and Jia Li gulped down hard. Her mouth went dry but she made no attempt to get away from him. Her decision was made clear. Their lips met, entangling them into a romance never meant to be heard of. * Born on the night of a dark moon, he was bad news enough.

Immediately he did so, his lips parted into a slight gape and he literally froze. The lady who had just tried to kill him was no other than his very own celebrity crush, Maya Dreams!

"Since you walked into my life yourself in this manner, I am not going to let you go, never!" "You will live with me for three months or else the world will know about the pretty Maya Dreams being a killer, do you agree to my terms, Maya Dreams?" She seemed slightly confused before her small head bobbed a positive response. "I do." He grinned. * It was wrong for him to take in the lady who had just attempted to kill him but he could not hold it. Loving her was his bad habit, one he knew was going to be hard to stop.
