I Became His Sweetheart

Harbor Mall. At the car park, a silver Audi was shaking.

There was a crack in the trunk.

Melanie Jones was hiding in the trunk as she listened to the sounds of a man and a woman panting in the car. Her heart twitched painfully.

Without telling her fiancé, Melanie had finished her work early to come home sooner. She decorated and filled the trunk with balloons. She then dressed up as a huge present and climbed into the trunk while holding her fiancé’s favorite limited edition tequila in her hands.

Feeling hopeful, she eagerly awaited the sound of the car door unlocking but what followed were words of betrayal…

“Bryan, today’s your birthday. Aren’t you worried that Melanie will come and find you?”

“Hmph, your lawsuit is a pain in the ass. She’s in Paris and doesn’t even have time for me. How could she possibly come back here?”

“Well, do you mean that I should create more trouble next time?” the woman said coquettishly.

“You bad girl!” the man replied in a pampering tone.

“Since I’m a bad girl, do you love me or your hard-working wife more?” The woman wrapped her hands around him.

They made out intimately for a short while before the man said, “How could you compare yourself to her? She smells like garbage! She’s a cripple, too! If it wasn’t because of her family business and my parents admired her business mindset, I wouldn’t even look at her once!”

Stuck in the cramped trunk, Melanie could not help but cry. Their voices were all too familiar to her!

Melanie would be officially engaged with Bryan West in two days. She had never thought that her fiancé would have an affair with her cousin!

“Melanie was lucky! Back then, the car accident that we had planned was perfect, but she survived! Fortunately, I asked the doctor to prescribe the wrong medicine which caused her to become crippled. Otherwise, it’d be a waste of our efforts!” Lena Jones, Melanie’s cousin, spoke wickedly, accompanied by a hint of disappointment in her tone.

“Well, she’s a cripple now. Besides, her business mindset is still in play. Didn’t she make you famous, my dear?” Bryan could not help but comfort Lena.

Melanie trembled upon hearing their voices. She could not tell whether her trembling came from her broken heart or the car’s intense shaking.

After both of them were done and left the car, Melanie slowly crawled out of the trunk. She was in a daze, stumbling and accidentally hurting her wounded left leg, which stung with pain. However, the pain in her heart was far more agonizing.

Then, Melanie limped out of the parking lot aimlessly…

A devastating car accident had made her go from Harbor City’s number one celebrity to a cripple ugly duckling. When she was at her lowest, it was Bryan’s companionship that touched her heart.

Since then, Melanie committed herself to Bryan’s media firm and helped him build his reputation. The influencer whom the company strongly supported happened to be her cousin, Lena Jones!

This time, Lena had breached her agreement and was sued by a production crew. Therefore, Bryan requested Melanie to solve this issue.

Melanie racked her brain, negotiating with the production crew numerous times. She had managed just two hours of sleep over the past three days! She did this because she wanted to get it done faster and rush back home to celebrate Bryan’s birthday!

In the end, Bryan, who said that he loved her with all of his life, had given her a huge surprise! What a joke!

Throughout these years, the hard work that Melanie had poured in by giving everything she had was just to fulfill the wishes of the couple who ultimately betrayed her!

She kept walking, not realizing how far she had gone when it started to rain heavily. Melanie raised her head. It was as if the heavy rain was pouring into her heart. Amid the sound of the rain, she could also hear the shattering of her relationship.

She was exhausted so she sat in the middle of the road under a signboard. She looked at the tequila in her hand, opened the bottle, and chugged all of it.

Half an hour later…

A black Bentley drove by. The plain color could not disguise the elegance of the car. It had already driven past Melanie, but it moved back and stopped beside her.

Melanie was swiftly dragged into the car, lying in front of a man. Melanie’s face, which was drenched by the cold rain, was pinched with no care. While she was in a blurry state, she saw a familiar handsome man and started guessing.

“Who are you?”

“You don’t need to know who I am. I know who you are, Miss Jones.” The man’s cold voice was filled with a hint of hostility.

Melanie shook her head, trying her very best to remain conscious. However, the man’s proud, narrow gaze resembles a cold winter pond. The more she gazed into his eyes, the more they seemed to draw her in as if she was gradually falling for him.

She turned her body but was held onto by the man’s huge hands. “I should’ve come to find you earlier!”

“What?”

Her gaze fell onto the man’s chest, where she noticed two unbuttoned buttons, exposing his strong chest muscles. The intense male hormones heightened the effects of the tequila in her blood in an instant.

Melanie pondered for a moment. Since Bryan could have an affair, why not her? The man in front of her was a hundred times better than Bryan in terms of physique and appearance.

Melanie then straightened her body and wrapped her hand around the man’s neck. “Are you so eager to see me? Come then, let me satisfy your needs!”

The man frowned as he stared at the woman who was half kneeling in front of him. He observed her gorgeous silhouette, like a mesmerizing siren emerging from the sea at night, breathtaking.

“Are you sure?” His voice was hoarse.

Melanie nodded softly in agreement. She then placed her other hand on the man’s leg and slowly moved downward.

The man stiffened. He then carried her onto his lap. His voice was as cold as ice as he uttered, “Let me help you!”

Several hours later…

Melanie opened her eyes and realized that a man was sleeping soundly beside her. She stared at the man’s jawline and strong muscles, and fragments of memories from last night slowly strung together…

Melanie was drunk at the roadside and a man brought her into his car. After that, she slept with him.

The lights were still on. The man looked handsome from the side, and he seemed familiar. So, Melanie took a closer look at him, and she was stunned!

It was him!
