The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 31

Inside the Blizzard Room private suite.

This private booth was more like a huge open space, really roomy. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

The light was soft, and the music was a live band performance.

People dressed to the nines, chatting and drinking.

Ellinor was weaving through the crowd, on the hunt for Belinda.

Suddenly, a girl with pastel pink hair bolted towards her, “Ellinor…”

Ellinor frowned, frantically checking her from head to toe for injuries, asking, “What’s up? You called me to come rescue you?”

Belinda seemed a bit rattled, clinging to Ellinor’s arm, pointing behind her, “It’s them! They were messing with me!”

Ellinor looked up and saw three well–dressed young men closing in, clearly from wealthy backgrounds.

The guy on the left said, “Hey, girlie, you can’t just say that! You agreed to hang out with us, how can you say we were messing with you?”

The guy on the right was checking out Ellinor who just arrived, “Hey! Another beauty, and this one looks well–behaved, I like it!”

Ellinor kept a poker face, turning to Belinda, “How did you get mixed up with them?”

Belinda looked wronged, whispering, “I came in to find you and didn’t see you, so I asked them about you! Then, they invited me to play dice, saying if I won, they’d take me to you! Then. I lost! They gave me the choice of ‘downing ten bottles of booze or kissing one of them. I didn’t want to kiss them! And I was scared they might spike the drinks. They wouldn’t let me leave if I didn’t drink…”

Ellinor got the picture, looking at the young men, “You’re proud of picking on a girl like this?”

“Aren’t you women always asking for gender equality? Regardless of gender, a loss is a loss! If you can’t handle it, you shouldn’t have joined in the first place!”

Ellinor looked serious, “I’ll play with you!”

The man in the middle, looking at the seemingly gentle and polite Ellinor, laughed, “You sure?”

Ellinor said with certainty, “If I win, her loss to you guys doesn’t count!”

The man in the middle raised an eyebrow, “What if I win?”

Ellinor looked him straight in the eye, fearless, “You name the terms!”

The man in the middle took a couple of steps closer, whispering into her ear, “Are you still a virgin?”

Ellinor stiffened, a trace of anger on her face.

“Your reaction says you’re still a virgin!” The man in the middle laughed wickedly, pulling out a hotel room card from his pocket, handing it to Ellinor. “I want your first time!”

Belinda saw the room card, her face turning red with anger, “You’re blatantly messing with us!”

Ellinor took the card, “Alright, let’s start!”

Belinda was taken aback, anxiously trying to stop her, “Ellinor, this isn’t right! I chose drinking. Don’t play with them!”

At the back of Blizzard Room was a billiard room.

The young master of the Howard family said leisurely, “I have to tell you guys, I met Snow Bunny online the other day, she can even easily crack our AJ Alliance’s encryption system. She’s truly one of the best hackers in the world!”

Jonah pocketed a ball, “Byran, you should do less pointless stuff, your father still hopes you could help your brother manage the company!”

Byran didn’t care, “With my brother around, I don’t want to deal with company stuff!”

At this point, someone walked in and said, “Guys, there’s something interesting going on outside, a girl is playing dice with three men, and she’s betting her virginity!”

Jonah put down his pool cue, “Hmm, that sounds interesting! Let’s go check it out!”

Theo was lounging on the sofa, expressionless, clearly not interested in this.

The curly–haired woman next to him said with a grin, “Mr. Blanchet, I think I saw your niece Belinda with the girl who’s playing dice!”

Theo’s eyebrows furrowed.
