Joanna Bennett is an honest, kind and lovely girl. When she was in high school, she saved an old man she didn't know in a car accident without any hesitation. Out of gratitude, the old man promised to let his grandson marry Joanna in the future in order to make her life safe and sound. At that time, Joanna didn't know what is love. So she answered the old man's request and she treated the old man's grandson as her husband. She liked to stay with his grandson. However, at the age of 18, Joanna was framed and fell the river from a bridge. And she was saved by Chris Jensen. She began to wonder what is love.
Lying on the bed, Joanna Bennett felt hot and uncomfortable.
While she was in drowsiness, someone with a pungent smell of wine pressed down.
"Who are you? Let go of me!"
Her big pretty eyes were full of horror, and she tightly squeezed the bedsheet. Before she could say more, the man laughed emotionlessly.
"You..."
The man's hand fell on her lips. His cold fingertips somehow brought her a burning sensation instantly.
A horrible feeling rose in her. Before she could speak, the man's hoarse and emotionless voice came over.
"You want to be my woman so badly?"
In the heat, Joanna trembled and suddenly came to her senses.
"No... you misunderstood... I'm already engaged..."
By the last bit of her sense, Joanna overcame the dizziness and quickly turned over.
She was petite and so agile that she got out of the man's arms, got off the bed, and took to heels.
But then she felt a grip on her hand. The man threw her back to the bed like a cargo.
He stared coldly at her with gloomy eyes. The corner of his thin lips curved up in a contemptuous smile.
The room was so dark that Joanna couldn't see his face clearly. Even so, she raised her hand to show the man her engagement ring.
...
The darkness in the room engulfed the dim light of the diamond ring.
Along with it, its owner was also engulfed.
...
When Joanna woke up, it was already the next evening.
She felt pain all over as if a truck hit her, and her brows furrowed.
When a knock came from the door, Joanna didn't have time to think about her situation and covered herself up quickly.
In a short while, a waitress came into the bedroom with an exquisite and delicious meal. A standard smile was on her face.
"Please enjoy your dinner."
The waitress put the meal down and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Joanna called out.
As soon as she uttered a sound, she felt a burning pain in her throat. Her voice was as hoarse as that when a piece of abrasive paper scratched against the table.
Her pale face instantly flushed.
Joanna grasped the quilt and wished that she could vanish into thin air.
"What else can I help you?"
"May I ask... if you have any clothes here?" Joanna blushed.
The room should have been cleaned up. Last night... her clothes were torn up by that man.
Scum!
"Yes, a moment please."
After the waitress left, Joanna walked along the wall on her trembling legs to the bathroom to wash up.
Half an hour later, the sound of running water was mixed with the cry of the girl in the bathroom. It was low sobs in the beginning and then a bitter wail.
An hour later, Joanna came out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, her eyes red.
After the wail, she managed to calm down and sit down to eat.
She couldn't blame the world. Now that it came to this, her engagement with Lukas Jensen also came to an end.
She made up her mind to see Kane Jensen and asked the old man to make the call and break off the engagement.
She reflexed on what happened yesterday after she checked in the hotel before realizing that the incident started from a cup of water given by the front desk staff.
As for the identity of the culprit, she had no clue.
But there was no hurry since the fire couldn't be wrapped up in the paper. She would find it out and get her revenge!
