Chapter 8

Author: Rice Lamb
Something was wrong!

I turned back in sheer panic, only to see Charles stripping his clothes off.

“What are you doing?!”

“They turned on the air-conditioner. It’s getting a little hot.”

Taking off a layer or two of clothes because it was a bit hot was one thing, but what was he doing, stripping himself completely to show off his entire upper body?!

“You… you’re being unfaithful!”

I couldn’t bring myself to stare directly at those broad shoulders and narrow waist.

Instead, my gaze took a

  • Do I Kneel Too?   Chapter 10

    I didn’t have the money to buy this rich guy a present. Even if I did, would he even fancy my choice of gift?Just then, Charles leisurely pulled out a crumpled wad of cash from his pocket. It was my $152.80!My hard-earned money had somehow turned into a love token that I supposedly gave him voluntarily?!“Give that back!”“Sure, but if you aren’t going to be mine, then let’s settle my hospital bills. Do you want to know what that means, given my current net worth?”He tilted his head, showing off the faint scratches on his cheek.I completely lost it.He was clearly a generous man who granted me my every wish when we chatted online. Why was he so calculative and full of schemes in real life?I silently retracted my hand that was halfway in the air, my neck stiffening as I was unable to speak.Seeing my reaction, he laughed. “Girl, open the door.”City life was really this high-tech. With everything voice-controlled, it was no wonder I couldn’t open the door.Damn it. Was I

    Every word he said pushed my limits. My entire body felt weak, and I had to fight to hold onto my sanity.The air in the room was so thick with tension, and no amount of explanation would be able to clear my name if somewhere were to walk in on us.“You’re going to be a father! Even if my bestie’s man were to strip naked and stand before me, I’d only be concerned about whether he was cold or not!”“Is that so? Silly child.” He stood up and forcefully held my hand, guiding it to touch his bare body.I panicked, whipping out my modded phone and threatening, “I’m going to call for someone!”“Who? Scarlett or Finn?”He smirked and hooked his fingers under my chin to force me to meet his gaze. Yet, all he did was to hold me as he pulled the hem of his hoodie from his chest to just below his abs.If he looked refined and flamboyant during his early days, he right now gave me an air of pure, innocent charm, which somehow made this entire situation feel somewhat forbidden.“An ultimate

It won’t look good if my bestie and your mom walk in seeing this.”Hearing this, he chuckled. “Mommy? Are you scared now?”His words carried a double meaning. He pressed forward, forcing me flat against the door until I had absolutely no retreat.“Since you

    [Now that things have come to this, I won’t hide it from you anymore. I’m one month pregnant.]I didn’t even know what I was questioning her about. This was all my idea in the first place, after all.But I genuinely could not accept her answer.It was bad enough that my online boyfriend didn't belong to me. Was my bestie going to betray me, too?She even had a baby with him, for goodness’ sake.No wonder she had agreed so readily back then.Give me back my hard-earned money!Wait, the baby was one month along?It had only been a month since she met him in my stead.Did Scarlett completely forget the rules of our group?We could throw hands in a fight, but never touch anyone of our own. That was the law.We could flirt with any guy, but never touch each other's. That was the principle.You could talk trash about me, but leave my parents out of it. That was the bottom line.My chest felt tight. Perhaps that was how being heartbroken and devastated felt like.Those of us who

    Scarlett sent over a victory report.[Indeed, he hates your guts, and seeing you on your knees appeased his anger right away.][You’re a lifesaver! We can team up to hustle and earn money and live the high life again. He transferred me money again. Same old rules apply: Fifty-fifty split!][He transferred you $2,860?]I just got $1,430.It was completely absurd.Although someone had secretly filmed me and Scarlett kneeling and posted it online, making us the laughingstock of the internet, I couldn’t believe we actually pulled it off.Maybe I should just laugh it off and forget about it, I thought. At least we managed to survive and needn’t both die at the same time.I had never won such an overwhelming and abundant victory in my entire life. I contemplated splurging on a hotdog for my dinner.However, I had no appetite whatsoever. In fact, I felt like throwing up.I logged into that account I hadn’t touched in ages, only to see Charles’ latest update on his account.[11=3]

  • Do I Kneel Too?   Chapter 5

    Charles showed up, not from inside the mansion, but from outside the main gates.Had we been kneeling for nobody all along? He wasn’t even home this afternoon.The night wind howled as he approached, clad in a sleek black suit that made him look tall and well-built.I knew all too well exactly how massive his muscles beneath that dress shirt was.After all, he was relentlessly seducing me through his phone.The scar on his face had faded, and he was looking coldly at me.I didn’t know which of my sins was most severe: Hitting him in the face, falsely accusing him, and ruining his kind intentions? Or was it deception, by letting Scarlett take my place to meet him in real life?I didn’t dare to let him know the truth. I’d rather smash my head into a bowl of marshmallows and pay for my sins with my life and end it all.“Charles, we were wrong. This is all the money we have. Please get back tougher with me!”Scarlett immediately pounced on him and kept shooting looks at me. I lo
