Lily Gray heard the sound and looked up. Despite her blurred vision, she could still feel a strong sense of oppression from the man.

By the time Lily reacted, she had unknowingly walked to the bedside and was grabbed by the man’s wrist.

Forgive her, she had never really touched a man before in her life.

She couldn’t help but want to scream, but suddenly realized something and bit her lip.

She couldn’t scream, nor let this man see her vulnerability.

“Are you afraid?”

“I… I’m not afraid.”

Lily Gray shook her head, trying to seem nonchalant.

“Woman, if you behave, I won’t treat you unfairly.”

With that, he lowered his head and covered her delicate lips.

Lily instinctively wanted to struggle, but he held her firmly.

The night was long.

…

In the morning, the heavy curtains were drawn back, and sunlight streamed in.

The already well-dressed man looked at the woman on the bed, still asleep and hugging her blanket, and a satisfied smile formed at the corner of his mouth.

He hadn’t relaxed like this in a long time. If this woman was obedient enough, he wouldn’t mind giving her more.

“Mr. Lucas, it’s almost time.” A respectful voice came from outside the door. There was a temporary issue in New Harbor, and he had to go there personally.

“I know.” The man looked back at the sleeping woman on the bed one last time and opened the door to leave.

Lily Gray felt like she had had a very long dream. In the dream, she saw Austin Lucas’s betrayal; in the dream, she had slept with a man she had just met to get revenge on Austin Lucas, and she did such a thing to herself.

“Hmm… Why would I have such a strange dream…”

As she slowly woke up and opened her eyes, the blurred vision and unfamiliarity made her pause for a moment. It took her a few seconds to react.

Something seemed to be off…

Did everything from last night really happen?

Lily Gray sat up in panic.

“Hiss…”

Pain shot through her lower body and her waist felt sore, nearly causing her to fall back into bed. The pain in her body jolted her memory, and she finally remembered what happened last night.
