Chapter 1
"Save me, and I'll give you a billion dollars!" A deep, raspy male voice sounded in her ear.
At this moment, Stephanie Bishop was totally dazed. Not only was she knocked off her feet by a guy on her way home from work, but she also ended up rolling into a pile of garbage with him.
The mix of smells from the garbage around her was almost unbearable, but she held back, not daring to make a sound.
Outside the garbage pile, the sound of chaotic footsteps resounded incessantly, moving back and forth.
"Get him! We have to catch Sebastian Ingram!"
"He's injured; he can't get far!"
"We have to catch him tonight, otherwise there will be no way to explain it to the young lady!"
As the voices faded into the distance, Stephanie's thoughts returned to reality.
She had seen the name Sebastian in a magazine before.
Sebastian Ingram, the president of Skyline Corporation - a diamond-tier billionaire. The breathtakingly handsome man in the magazine was the same guy beside her!
She must save him! She needed to save him no matter what!
She needed money, and he was loaded.
He promised her a billion dollars if she saved him.
Her mom was in the late stages of a serious illness and needed a kidney transplant.
"Come with me, and I'll take you home!" Stephanie exerted great effort to carry the man back home, completely unaware that she had brought a hungry wolf home.
Once they got home, Stephanie half-carried the man to the sofa and then went to close the door.
As she turned on the lights and prepared to discuss payment with the man, she saw that enviously handsome face.
Under the warm, yellow light, the man's exquisite features looked like a stunning work of art, carefully carved by God himself.
His finely sculpted nose was perfect, with tightly pursed lips as if he was enduring some sort of pain.
The man's height was just enough to be a full head taller than Stephanie, making him an absolute hunk!
But at this moment, his deep eyes were filled with burning desire.
Stephanie couldn't help but feel nervous, as she was all too familiar with the look in his eyes.
However, Stephanie didn't panic. She dared to bring him home because she was confident in her own ability to protect herself.
Staying calm, she asked the man, "Were you... drugged?"
The man continued to look at her with those eyes, not responding.
"Uh... don't panic. Stay here, and I'll go find you some medicine." How she knew that the money wouldn't come easy! Okay, first things first, she needed to get him back to normal before discussing the payment.
But as soon as she turned to leave, a force pulled her back, and her whole body slammed into the man's chest...
Instinctively, Stephanie placed her hands on his chest.
Taking a deep breath, she looked up at him and said, "Please, there's a pharmacy nearby. I'll be back soon. Just bear with it for a moment..."
But the man had been enduring long enough; how much longer could he bear?
The moment Stephanie was pushed onto the bed, she felt like her world was crumbling.
Lifting one leg, she attempted to swing it towards the man's forehead, hoping to knock him out and end this ordeal.
Once he was conscious again, they could discuss money.
Unexpectedly, the man was also highly skilled in martial arts. He blocked her kick and grabbed her leg, pulling her closer.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Unknowingly, their positions became quite awkward.
"What are you trying to do! I saved your life, you know?"
The man seemed completely irrational at the moment, with only blazing flames left in his eyes.
Even though Stephanie was an expert in Taekwondo and skilled in combat, she was no match for the man right now.
The situation was a mess, and Stephanie's heart was in utter chaos!
She regretted it!
But it was too late...
Even in his irrational state, the man still had some clear thoughts.
He eventually softened.
Looking deep into her eyes, the man's voice was low and raspy, "Be good...I'll give you anything."
At this moment, Stephanie felt like she was about to get devoured!
