Chapter 1

Sebastian Wilder woke up and felt that he was lying on a big, soft bed. The bed was very comfortable. It was way better than the wooden one back on the mountain. There was even a nice body pillow. He suddenly felt like something was wrong. Then, he heard a woman's moan beside her. It jolted him awake. The woman's back was facing him, but her figure was flawless. She lay naked on the bed next to him. He got up immediately. What was going on? Where did the woman come from? Sebastian shook his head as he tried to recall what had happened. Then, it came back to him. He was in Ravenview City. In the past few years, he had been leading the Supreme Nexus to war everywhere, striking fear in all his enemies. He had returned to Ravenview City because his mentor had arranged a marriage for him. He came back to honor the engagement. He arrived in the city at night. The night was still young for a night owl like him, so he went to a bar, where he unknowingly got drunk. So, he got a room at a nearby hotel. While he was still in a daze, a woman knocked on his door. He opened the door to let her in. Unexpectedly, she jumped on him as soon as she walked in. She was very passionate as she dove into his arms. Then… Sebastian slapped himself on the head. He had too much to drink last night and couldn't really remember what happened next. At that moment, the woman turned around. He got excited when he saw her face. Her features were elegant and well-defined. Her brows were curvy and natural, like the most delicate brush strokes. Her eyelashes were long, and it looked like the wind blew on her face whenever she blinked. Her nose was elegant, like a master sculptor's work. Her lips were soft, full, and slightly curved upwards into a sweet and confident smile. Sebastian had seen plenty of pretty women before, but none of them could compare with the one before him. She was simply surreal. Suddenly, the woman stretched and displayed her amazing curves to him. His eyes were focused on her, and he couldn't help but gulp. His throat still felt parched after that. After stretching, the woman opened her sleepy eyes and immediately saw Sebastian's slightly unkempt face. Their eyes met, and it was as if time had stopped for a moment. Then, the woman let out a blood-curdling scream. "Woman, you're too loud. You'll make people think I did something to you," Sebastian said playfully. The woman sat up immediately and covered herself with the blanket. She looked bewildered and fearful. "Who are you? Why am I here?" "That's what I should be asking you. This is my room." Sebastian lay on his side and supported his head with his hand as he fixed his gaze on the woman. The more he looked at her, the more pretty she was to him. She was a sight for sore eyes. The woman glanced at her surroundings and noticed she was indeed not in her room. The realization left her dumbfounded. She had been drugged yesterday. Did she enter the wrong room? She looked under the blanket and saw that she was naked. All sorts of negative emotions, like sorrow and helplessness, consumed her as tears started flowing. She looked at Sebastian angrily and said, "You forced yourself on me!" He gave her a charming smile. "What do you mean by that? You were the one who took the lead last night. "If you were ugly, I would've pushed you away. But you're not, so I couldn't bring myself to reject you. Besides, my mentor has always told me not to go against a woman's wishes." "You're a bastard! Scum!" The woman, whose name was Lillian Smith, slapped Sebastian. She looked like she was about to tear him to pieces. Sebasted sat up. "That's enough! You were the one who jumped on me last night." "Shut up!" Lillian screeched, but then she hugged her knees and started crying the next moment. She knew Sebastian wasn't completely at fault last night. She was drugged, and she basically came onto him. She was overwhelmed with regret as she lamented her own carelessness, which led to her being drugged. Even though she managed to escape the deviant who drugged her, she still ended up sleeping with another man. Lillian raised her head to look at Sebastian. He had some stubble and messy hair. He looked like an unkempt ruffian. Lillian had kept her chastity for over 20 years, but she ended up losing it to a man like Sebastian. The thought of that saddened her even more as her tears continued to flow. "Turn around. I want to put on my clothes." "I've already seen everything. Do I really need to turn around?" Sebastian felt a little speechless. But when he saw Lillian's furious expression, he relented and turned around. Lillian scrambled to put her clothes back on. Then, Sebastian turned around again to look at her. She looked more dignified with her clothes on. Her clothes were all branded items. It was clear she was pretty well-off. "Don't be sad. I'll take responsibility if you need me to," Sebastian said with a smile. "And how would you do that? Do you even have the capability to do that?" A hint of condensation flashed in Lillian's eyes when she glanced at Sebastian's cheap clothes. "I know what you're thinking. These clothes may look cheap, but I have money. I can provide for you. Even if you give birth to a dozen of my kids, I'll still be able to provide for you." Sebastian was very confident. He was the founder of the largest corporation in the world—Phoenix Corporation. He had more than trillions in assets. Providing for hundreds of people would be a minor issue, let alone a dozen. "That's enough! I really hate boastful men like you. I'm Lillian Smith, the Smith family's heiress. I have countless suitors. I don't need you to provide for me." Lillian was quite fed up with him. She took out a stack of cash from her bag and threw it at him. "Take this money and leave. Don't ever show yourself before me again." Sebastian's expression fell. "What is the meaning of this?" "Isn't it clear? This is money for your labor last night." Lillian turned to leave after she said that. "Stop right there! Explain yourself!" Sebastian felt humiliated. Giving him money after they did the deed? Who did she think he was? Lillian didn't want to talk to him anymore. So, she continued to walk toward the door. Sebastian quickly got out of bed and grabbed her arm. "Let go of me." Lillian wanted to shake him off, but his grip was too tight. "Since you're treating me as a prostitute, I'll give you one more round of service for free. Remember to leave me a good review after the service." Sebastian pinned her down on the bed after he said that. "You bastard, let me go! I'll kill you!" Lillian felt panic and rage as she struggled with all her might. Naturally, Sebastian wasn't trying to rape her. Even though he felt humiliated by her words, he didn't want to go against her wishes. So, he just wanted to give her a scare. Suddenly, Lillian stopped resisting, but her tears started to flow. "Hey, why did you stop resisting?" Sebastian saw that she wasn't fighting back anymore, so he also stopped what he was doing. "Do it if you must. But this is the last time. Don't you ever show yourself before me after this, or I won't let you off easy," Lillian snarled. "You're being too ferocious. I've lost the mood. Forget it. Just go," Sebastian said as he got off her. She adjusted her clothes for a bit before she headed for the door. She barely took a couple of steps before she clutched her chest with a pained expression. Then, she crouched down as her face went pale. Sebastian quickly rushed over and felt her pulse. His expression soon turned grave. Then, he picked her up, placed her on the bed, and started taking her clothes off. Lillian looked like she was in a lot of pain. Her eyes were filled with anger and sorrow. She had a severe congenital heart disease and figured she was probably doomed this time. The thought of being violated right before she was about to die gave her the urge to end her own life on the spot.
