In a luxurious room, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly, but it was filled with the low panting of a man and the soft moans of a woman...
They intertwined together, both completely naked. The woman's slender legs were spread wide apart, her fingers gripping the bedsheets tightly. Her neck arched back against the man's chest, her cries carrying a hint of pleasure but mostly filled with pain.
......
Shirley Wright felt the warmth of the man's embrace and couldn't help but burrow deeper into his arms. Despite not having rested all night, leaving her body sore, she had no regrets. She had prepared for this moment for so long, wanting to offer herself as the most precious gift to him.
After two years of dating William Turner, each time he tried to be intimate with her, she had politely declined. She didn't want to give herself away so easily. But this time was different. William was leaving the country tomorrow, and it was also her twenty-second birthday.
On such an important day, with strong encouragement from her best friend, she booked this luxurious hotel suite and gave her most cherished first time to her boyfriend.
Shirley happily wrapped her arms around his waist. Wow, she never expected William to have such a great figure. She found him just right, not too fat and not too skinny. He was simply perfect.
"Hmm... Rose, are you awake?" the man above her asked. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, William. I willingly chose this," Shirley replied sweetly, tightening her grip around his waist.
Rose...?
William...?
Shirley and the man she was embracing were both startled at the same time. They separated abruptly, Shirley turning on the bedside lamp in a panic.
As the light turned on, Shirley saw a completely unfamiliar face and immediately screamed in alarm, "Who are you?!" She covered her body with the blanket, her voice filled with anxiety, "How did you end up here?"
"This is my room! And who are you? Why are you here?" the man's face was also filled with surprise.
Shirley felt a chill running through her body. An inexplicable sense of unease engulfed her. "This is room 1638, my friend handed me the key to this room, and the man here should be my boyfriend..."
"Heh!" Keith Nelson found this to be the most laughable excuse he had ever heard. With his wealth, countless women would do anything to sleep with him, yet today he encountered one who claimed innocence! "You even investigated my room number so clearly. Wasn't it just to sleep with me? What other excuses do you have? How much money do you want?"
The man's mockery stabbed into Shirley's heart, causing her to calm down. What happened last night?
She remembered drinking with her friend, Rose Red, to celebrate Rose's upcoming trip to Milan for a fashion show and also Shirley' birthday. She had gotten quite drunk, and Rose kept urging her to take advantage of William since he was about to leave for two years. Shirley, seemingly under a strange spell, agreed. She took the room key given by Rose and swiped into the room.
But why the man in the room was not William?
"What money? I don't want money, where's William?!" Shirley exclaimed.
Keith furrowed his brows. This woman in front of him seemed truly peculiar. She had mentioned "William" before, didn't she? Could they have truly been set up?
Last night he had a date with Rose, but someone swiped a card and entered. The lights weren't on at that time, and the scent of the woman's perfume was exactly the same as Rose's, so naturally he thought it was Rose who had arrived, but it turned out to be the woman in front of him.
He was about to ask when his phone rang, and when he looked, it turned out to be a call from Rose.
"Rose, what's going on?"
Rose's voice filled with apology came through the phone, "Keith, I'm so sorry. I received an invitation from Milan yesterday. They wanted me to be the showstopper model. I flew to Milan last night at eight, you know, being the showstopper has always been my dream and goal. I didn't want to miss this opportunity, will you forgive me? Oh, by the way, I gave you a gift last night as compensation, are you satisfied?"
"A gift?" Keith's eyes narrowed and he glanced at the woman wearing a bathrobe and looking for William throughout the room. His eyes held some inexplicable meaning.
"Yes, this gift was carefully chosen by me. She's still a virgin, right? Wasn't last night enjoyable?" Rose asked cautiously.
"Of course it was enjoyable. With such a thoughtful and considerate girlfriend, how could it not be? Since you enjoy being a model so much, then do well in Milan." Keith said and hung up the phone directly.
By this time, Shirley had already searched the entire room and couldn't find William. She couldn't calm down anymore!
She had slept with a stranger inexplicably for a night, what face did she have to go find William again?
Tears fell as Shirley squatted in the corner, silently sobbing, completely ignoring the man who had been staring at her with complicated eyes.
Keith put away his phone, no matter what this woman was up to, it was obvious that she wasn't here for him, and Rose's gift might not be her. But no matter who she was, what happened today must not be revealed.
He found his coat, took out his checkbook, wrote it quickly, and tore it off. This much money should be enough as a hush payment, right?
At this moment, the door was knocked, "Mr. Keith, I'm from hotel services, here to deliver breakfast to you."
Keith frowned and left the check on the bed before going to open the door.
The breakfast was very sumptuous. Keith looked at the woman in the corner and said, "Let's eat first."
But the woman continued to cry. Keith didn't say much either and began eating on his own. While eating, he said, "I will compensate you for last night's incident. I will give you eight million dollars. You can't tell anyone about our affair."
At this moment, Shirley raised her head in shock! She stared at this stranger in disbelief. Eight million? Did he think she was a prostitute?
She didn't know why this man managed to get rid of William and came to this room to... to take her first night. And now he wanted to give her money to insult her?!
Shirley felt more and more aggrieved. Even if she had slept with him, she would never accept the money.
"Don't worry, I won't talk about this matter," she said firmly. How could she possibly talk about it?!
Silently picking up the scattered clothes on the floor, she turned and went to the bathroom.
Looking at herself in the mirror with messy hair and red eyes. She never expected things would turn out this way.
As Shirley left, Keith was still elegantly eating breakfast, seemingly indifferent to her departure. Only the check was lying alone on the bed as if it was mocking her.
Just as Shirley left this hotel, her phone rang lightly, it was a text message from William.
"Shirley, I waited for you all night in the room yesterday. Were you delayed because of something? It's okay, I will keep waiting. I'm about to take off, and when I come back, I'll bring you a gift. Love you, William."
Shirley was taken aback. He wasn't in the room at all, so why would he say he waited there all night? Where did it go wrong? Could Rose have given her the wrong room key? Or... No, it couldn't be. How could Rose do such a thing?
Shirley put away her phone and looked at the bustling world outside. Suddenly, she felt a sense of desolation. Perhaps when William came back, their relationship could never go back to what it used to be.
Maybe it's better if it just ends like this.
As soon as Shirley thought about separating from William, her heart ached fiercely, causing her to tremble slightly.
All of this happened last night.
Rose, was it really you who set me up?
The familiar electronic voice came from the phone, "The user you are trying to reach is currently switched off."
At that moment, Shirley realized that she had dialed Rose's number. Unfortunately, no one answered.
She walked on the road, reminiscing about everything she had with William. From the beginning of their relationship to the joy mixed with nervousness the day before, all the beautiful memories replayed like a movie. Every scene was so vivid, but they had become so unattainable.
They had discussed their future wedding yesterday. He had promised to call and text her every day within the next two years, so she could hear his voice and see his face. However, all of this had become an impossible wish.
Could she still talk to him on the phone and exchange texts as if nothing had happened?
No, she couldn't...
They wouldn't have a wedding, they wouldn't have children...
It was all gone, everything was gone...
Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a loud screech of brakes and the urgent ringing of a phone. She suddenly snapped back to reality and realized that she was standing in the middle of the road, with a car just inches away from her.
Shirley immediately came to her senses and stepped back to the roadside, watching the car speed away.
The telephone kept ringing, and she glanced at it. Surprisingly, it was William's mother calling. She quickly wiped away the tears on her face and answered the call, "Aunt..."
Before Shirley could finish addressing her, the voice on the other end of the phone interrupted her coldly. "Miss Shirley, you've also seen it. William has been sent abroad by the company for further studies. When he returns from abroad, his value will naturally be different. I never agreed when you two were together, but because William loved you, I didn't say anything. Now that you two are no longer in the same city, I hope you can take the initiative to leave William and stop pursuing him."
Shirley's trembling fingers held onto her phone.
"I won't hide it from you anymore, this time William is going abroad with another girl. She comes from a good family and will be helpful to William in the future. She also loves William very much and recommended him for this opportunity. That's why we all like her to be our daughter-in-law. Miss Shirley, are you from the countryside, right? How can someone of that background match William? If it's us who intervene, William may not agree to break up, but if it's you who initiates the breakup..." William's mother stopped there.
Everyone was intelligent, and even without saying it, they all understood the meaning behind her words.
She and William loved each other sincerely, so why did they want to tear them apart?
She had been ruined, her future was gone. She and William would eventually separate, and now this phone call was just making that day come sooner.
Shirley forced back her tears and choked back her sobs as she spoke into the phone, "I understand. I will do as you wish."
The other party got Shirley's response and hung up the phone in satisfaction.
After hanging up, Shirley stood under the scorching sun, tilting her head up, hoping that the tears in her eyes would not fall again. She felt cold all over, a kind of coldness she had never experienced before. Under the scorching sun, her heart felt like an ice cellar.
One after another, such things happened, and Shirley couldn't force herself to live calmly any longer. She took a leave from work, dragged her exhausted body, and with a heart that was already shattered, she took a long-distance bus back to her hometown.
She had thought that at least she could find some comfort when she returned home. But the moment she opened the door, she knew that this was just wishful thinking.
"Only a slut can give birth to a bastard! Look at your good daughter, so young, yet she goes to hotel rooms with a man!"Her mother knelt on the ground, and her grandmother threw a pile of photos at her face.Her mother was already unsteady, obviously, she had been kneeling for a long time, her face was injured, and her forehead had obvious bruising, clearly from knocking her head repeatedly.Her grandmother was bullying her mother again, but this time, she didn't know what it was for."Mom-" Shirley suddenly threw the bag in her hand to the ground, pounced forward, and knelt in front of her grandmother. "Grandma, what did my mom do wrong again? Why do you have to hit her like this?"Grandma Wright looked at her disdainfully, suddenly picked up a photo from the table, and slapped it hard across Shirley's face."Do you still have the face to ask what she did wrong? Your mom can't even give birth to a child, that's her biggest mistake! Even you, the adopted bastard from outside is a bit
Meanwhile, Keith was in a meeting room negotiating business with an Italy conglomerate. If they succeeded in this deal, the Nelson Family Group would have control over one percent of Italy's economy every year."Our boss values family very much. He said that only those who cherish their family and manage it well are capable of long-term cooperation. Mr. Keith, being so young and accomplished, and having such a remarkable appearance, must be someone who values family as well," the Italy representative said to Keith with a smile."Of course," Keith responded with a smile, "I naturally value family very much. My Nelson family has strict family values."Just then, a message from the assistant arrived, and Keith immediately apologized, saying, "Sorry, I need to check an important message first."The Italy representative nodded in agreement with a smile.With a swipe of his finger, Keith opened the message sent by his assistant: CEO, the female employee who fainted earlier has been confirme
At that moment, the attending doctor smiled and said to Shirley, "Please rest assured, the child in your belly is healthy!"The color drained from Shirley's face, her eyes widened as she grabbed the doctor who was measuring her pulse. Her voice trembled as she asked, "What did you say? Pregnant? Are you saying I'm pregnant?"Although she had always liked children and wanted to have one, she only wanted to have a child with William. This child shouldn't have come.She thought the nightmare was over, but it seemed to follow her everywhere.But why? Why was fate so cruel, pulling her back into that reality, and making her endure punishment once more?Meanwhile, Keith outside had reached the peak of anger."No way! Grandma, there's no way I will marry her!" Keith was on the verge of losing control, "I absolutely will not marry a woman I don't love!"Grandma Nelson looked at Keith with a cold gaze and said sternly, "Keith, you better think it through! Our company is currently collaborating
In the evening, Keith came again. As usual, a group of chefs followed, delivering dinner.Shirley smiled self-mockingly. After all, she and Keith had ended up together by accident, without any real emotions. How could he voluntarily come to accompany her for meals? After three consecutive days, Shirley had become somewhat accustomed to Keith coming to have meals with her. Whether it was due to these three days or not, Keith had gradually grown accustomed to it, too.As soon as he finished work, without waiting for Grandma Nelson's reminder, he would drive to the hospital to have dinner with Shirley.Keith arrived early today, so it wasn't yet mealtime.As soon as Keith got out of the car, he saw the woman in the glass display window. She was trimming a camellia plant with a smile on her face.From the first time he saw this woman, she was either expressionless or silently crying. He had never known that she could smile so beautifully.She was completely different from Rose. Rose exud
Rose was much taller than Shirley. She took a few steps and stood in front of Shirley. Without waiting for Shirley to speak, she slapped her loudly across the face!"Slap!" The slap was loud and crisp, so fast that Shirley couldn't react in time.Shirley stumbled, nearly falling onto the table. If she hadn't quickly grabbed onto the chair, her belly would have hit the table.Shirley looked up at Rose's fierce face in the mirror and couldn't help but shiver.Why was Rose here? Why did she hit her?Before Shirley could speak, Rose's face became distorted with anger as she pointed at Shirley, shouting, "Shirley, how could you abandon William and marry Keith? Where is your conscience? Have you lost it? How could you marry Keith when he is my boyfriend?!"Rose's sharp voice pierced Shirley's ears and caused her physical pain.Shirley finally snapped out of it and turned around abruptly to face Rose. Suppressing the trembling in her whole body, she said, "Rose, you've come back at the right
Keith knew that everything was settled from the greed in William's eyes. Keith fell silent, standing there quietly.Shirley could no longer hold back and rushed forward, grabbing William's arm. "William, let's go! Let's leave this place. We don't need his money. Let's struggle together, and build our own wealth. We will create more than he's giving us!"William's gaze, fixed on the money, was instantly blocked by Shirley's presence. Without thinking, without even looking, he pushed Shirley away. "Get away! This is all mine! Hahaha, I, William, am wealthy now! I finally have money and a car!"Shirley stumbled back from the push, almost falling to the ground.Keith reached out and steadied Shirley, but she didn't even look at him. She still wanted to run to William.William, have you been deceived? We don't need Keith's money! We can earn our own money! William, look at me! Look into my eyes and quickly tell Keith that you won't give up on me!Shirley forcefully released Keith's hand an
The next morning, after Shirley got out of the room, she smelled the aroma coming from the dining room, as well as Tony waiting in the living room."Good morning, Madam." Assistant Tony courteously greeted her."Morning." Shirley nodded. "Where's Keith?"After Keith left last night, she slept very deeply. It was the first time she had slept so soundly since she entered the wrong room. She didn't even know when the neighbor Keith left."Mr. Keith went to the company very early." Tony dutifully answered. "The Chairwoman instructed me to let Madam rest well at home. If there's anything you need, just let me know.""Rest? I don't need to rest!" Shirley frowned. If she rested at home, she wouldn't have any money left! She still needed to send money back home so that her mother could have a better life.The money from the Nelson family would only be sent to her after she gave birth. From now until gave birth, it would be a long time. If she couldn't send money home during this time, her gra
When Shirley stood up from the ground, she realized that the toilet she had been hugging while vomiting was made of pure crystal. After pressing the flush button, Shirley went to wash her hands and discovered that the entire sink was also made of polished crystal.Truly... luxurious.After rinsing her mouth, and wiping her hands with a tissue to remove any water stains, she returned to the office.As soon as she sat back down, she saw a steaming cup of milk on her desk. During the bird's nest incident, she continued eating even after throwing up. It seemed that this milk would be no exception.Shirley didn't make any fuss, she picked it up and drank it. As soon as the milk touched her lips, Shirley was taken aback. This taste was different from before.Looking up, Keith stood by the French window, speaking Italian on the phone. Shirley couldn't understand, so she lowered her head and continued drinking. After finishing this milk, she didn't feel nauseous. Shirley let out a sigh of rel
