2. 5 Million

“You just have to do what I say.” He gazed at Rose's miserable expression. “Be my wife and bear my child.”

Rose's mouth opened wide. She still couldn't believe what he said. They're like chalk and cheese. Why would he offer something so absurd to a stranger like her?

“Are you kidding?”

Rose does not think she is ugly. It's only that her appearance always looks shabby since she's enslaved up in a building controlled by the Big Boss and used for human trafficking.

“Do I look like I'm joking?”

Rose shook her head quickly. His attractive and cold gaze suggests that he does not enjoy making jokes.

“Mr. Robin Luciano!”

Rose's was slightly eased by Saul's exclamation from a distance. Saul bowed respectfully to Robin. Rose was stunned when she saw him. The big boss, who never bends his face in front of others, unexpectedly turns out to be a servant to Robin.

Rose had heard that an influential businessman would be visiting this island. He is opening the country's largest nightclub and will hire several girls to work there. And is the businessman in issue the one in front of her?

What if Robin truly freed her from that cursed island, just to turn her into a prostitute in a nightclub rather than marry her?

There is no way Robin Luciano will marry someone like her!

“I didn't expect to meet face to face with a big businessman like you directly!” Saul seems delighted as he reached out to shake Robin’s hand.

However, Robin just stared at Saul's hand, refusing to shake his hand. Saul's smile faded as he pulled his hand back.

“Please come in, Sir,” Saul replied awkwardly.

“No need.” Robin raises his chin towards Rose. “I will bring this woman along with the other women that I have ordered before.”

Saul's expression changed abruptly. He glares at Robin. Is he dreaming?

Does Robin Luciano, the country's richest businessman near Solterra Island, want to buy her?

“Mr. Robin, there are many other girls who are more beautiful and qualified on the inside. If you want to order another woman, please come in and look around first.”

“I want this woman!” Robin insisted.

Saul's attitude changed dramatically. He boldly straightened his body and grabbed Rose's hand, forcing her to stand behind his back.

“With all due respect, I can't sell this woman to you!”

Rose was secretly disappointed. Maybe Robin won't be able to help her get off the island. In fact, she had decided to accept Robin's offer after a brief thought.

She wasn't expecting this. Saul even gave Rose the same name as his dog, who always bites everyone who approaches him. However, her fate in that place is no better than his dog's. Why won't he take Robin's offer? Is this because her stepmother actually paid him to keep her from escaping and torturing her until she died?

“Saul Martinez, I'm still nice to you. Don't make me angry,” Robin warned, glancing at Saul.

“So? Where do you think you are? This island is mine! No matter how wealthy or famous you are, you are nothing here!”

Saul no longer treats him politely. He merely looks friendly because he meets an important consumer. However, once he hated or opposed something, his original character reappeared.

CLANG!

Rose was startled awake by the loud sound of irons colliding.

Saul's men appeared from all sides, some with weapons and the rest with iron rods. Surrounded Robin and his dozen bodyguards.

Robin, surprisingly, smiled. Rose had witnessed it! A gorgeous smile, but mysterious enough to make her tremble.

“I'm giving you one last warning, Saul. Sell that woman to me, or I will end our partnership!”

Rose had difficulties swallowing. She could feel Saul's hand grasping her wrist tighter.

Why is she the only one whom Saul considers worthless, causing such chaos?

Rose thought that Robin, the unlucky man, couldn't possibly make it out of the island alive because he failed to deal with Solterra's big boss.

“You really underestimated me, sir!” Saul's expression showed no fear.

Rose believed the scene was a dream. However, the sound of the warning shot hitting exactly in front of Saul's shoe from the direction of the helicopter made her realize that the current situation was real.

“What are you going to do?!” Saul snapped.

Saul never imagined Robin would gather so many guys just to surround him. He began to be cautious.

A man who had been standing near Robin approached Saul. Antonio Russo, Robin's right hand, warned him, “Watch your attitude! Mr. Robin is Mr. Dante Luciano's heir!”

Saul's face grew pale when he heard the name Dante Luciano. At the same time, he suddenly understands why everyone says that all of Robin Luciano's wishes will come true. He underestimated his opponent. He believes Robin was just a businessman who relied on the family's well-known reputation.

“How much should I pay that woman?”

Saul's jaw throbbed as he clenched his teeth. He appeared to consider his response carefully.

“Five million.”

Rose's mouth opened wide. The number proposed by Saul to him was many times greater than the number of young females in the top class. Those high-class girls must still be virgins, have a lovely face, be as tall as a model, be able to perform whatever is asked of them, and possess various talents or excellences.

Saul clearly wanted to keep Rose by his side. No crazy person wants to pay five million dollars for a shabby woman like her.

Unfortunately, Rose's mind is wrong.... Apparently, that crazy person really exists!

“Give the money as he requested!” Robin gave commands to Antonio without hesitation.
