Harriet Lopes was a carefree princess under her grandfather's protection. After her beloved grandfather passed away, she became the biggest shareholder of Ever Sun Group. Until that time, she finally realized how ruthless her father was. She was forced to hand over shares by him. Besides, she was an outcast from the Lopes family. In a moment she became a lost dog. Just then, she met Mervyn Brook, the most powerful man in Sea City. And her life was changed totally. Mervyn, "Harriet, marry me and I will make you the happiest woman in this world!"
VIP Suite 3061, Four Seasons Hotel.
Harriet Lopes looked coldly at two naked people entangled in front of her.
Steve Youngblood, her boyfriend, was a famous singer and actor in Sea City. Unexpectedly, he hooked up with his assistant... Candice Gordon! With no clothes on, she hid behind Steve and showed a smug expression.
"Harriet, I'm sorry, but we couldn't help ourselves..."
"Shut up!"
Steve growled and looked at Harriet. His face turned ghastly pale, "Harriet..."
"Get dressed!"
Harriet frowned and gritted her teeth, "You're disgusting!"
...
Outside the room, Harriet couldn't help shuddering.
As Steve's agent, she took care of everything for him. To her surprise, when she was hustling for his business, the man did such a thing behind her back!
"Harriet." Steve came out.
Harriet turned back, raised her hand, and slapped Steve squarely in the face.
A crispy slap came out!
Steve was shocked, "Harriet, you hit me?"
"Yeah." Harriet looked furiously at him, "You think I like to hit a lowlife like you? Disgusting!"
Steve turned livid and fell into silence.
"Yah! How could you hit people?"
Candice rushed out and glared viciously at Harriet.
"Nasty? Only a flawed woman like you would find this kind of thing nasty! I'm not as good as you in all aspects! But at least I'm a woman! Woman, you know what I'm saying? You don't know sexual love yet blame your man for cheating on you?"
Harriet was stunned and lost for words.
Yes, she was defective.
Steve and she had been together for two years. They quite got along, but... she couldn't have sex with him. Even kissing made her stomach churn!
It was a kind of psychological disorder, and the psychiatrist described it as a heart knot. Harriet, however, didn't get it and knew not how her heart knot was caused.
She was so perplexed that even her voice became faint.
She looked at Steve, "You even told her about that?"
The man dropped his eyes without saying anything.
"Humph." Candice sneered, "Harriet, you pushed Steve to me. He's a normal man. You tell me, who would just hold hands and hug girlfriends?"
Harriet gritted her teeth. The silent man made her simmering with anger.
"Steve, speak!"
Steve lifted his eyes and spoke blandly, "What could I say? It's the truth."
"Argh..."
Harriet was pissed. She was indeed flawed, but who vowed to protect her and be there for her? If he couldn't accept it, he could break up with her! Now he cheated on her and blamed her?
"Fine." Harriet clenched her hands and forced a smile, "Then I wish you two a happy life! We're done! Listen up, Steve, I dumped you!"
Following her words, she turned around, pulled open the door, and got out.
The shameful pair was shut behind!
...
Heaven on Earth Club.
Harriet got drunk and stood in front of the bathroom.
"Belch!"
Harriet hiccupped and pointed at the sign above.
She muttered, "Pants are men, and dress women."
She looked down at her slim fit jeans and drunkenly laughed, "Haha... pants, I'm a man today!"
While speaking, she entered the bathroom, the one with the men's sign.
Harriet stood blankly in front of the urinal. How... did this work? Why there wasn't a toilet seat?
In the bathroom, Mervyn Brook was unzipping his pants.
Then he noticed something wrong. What the hell, a woman?
"Tsk!" Harriet smacked her lips, patted Mervyn on the shoulder, looked at the urinal, and...
She was very calm.
Mervyn stiffened. The corner of his mouth twitched, and his hand trembled.
"Dude, this thing, how does it work?"
Mervyn pulled a long face. What did she mean? Was she asking...
"Eh?" Harriet frowned and glared at him. Under intoxication, her delicate cheeks looked rosy, "Teach me! New product, huh? I don't know how to use it!"
Oh, she meant the urinal?
Mervyn's face went black. He narrowed his eyes when he saw Harriet's face...!

My eyes blurred. His lifeless eyes stared back at me, his blood pooling at my feet. The man I loved-dead. Killed by the one person I could never escape - my stepbrother. *** Kasmine's life was never hers to begin with. Kester, her stepbrother, controlled and monitored her every move. At first, it was all sweet and brotherly until it began to turn into an obsession. Kester was the Alpha, and his word was law. No close friends. No boyfriends. No freedom. The only consolation Kasmine had was her twenty-first birthday, which was supposed to change everything. She dreamt of finding her mate, escaping the sickening control of Kester, and finally claiming her own life. But fate had other plans for her. On the night of her birthday, not only was she disappointed that she wasn't mated to the love of her life, but she found out that her mate was none other than him - Her tormentor. Her stepbrother. She'd rather die than be mated to a man whom she had known as her big brother all her life. A man who would do just anything to make sure she was his. But when love turns to obsession, and obsession turns to blood, how far can one girl run before she realizes there is nowhere else to run to?
