Ten million dollars

Chapter 8: Ten million dollars 

He is the most handsome man she has ever seen in her entire life. She's one hundred percent sure that he's the most handsome guy on earth. There is no way anyone can be more handsome than this. So she gets the chance to spend a night with this Adonis. Is this guy even a human? How can a guy be this handsome? She was sure every girl would be praying to have a one-night stand with him. So should she consider herself lucky? This guy is so freaking hot and freaking handsome. He is just too handsome. This guy is the real definition of beauty. He also had some feminine features that added more to his charm.

Ava couldn't get her eyes off him, and she seemed to be daydreaming again in her fantasy world.

"Can you please get your eyes off me?" The cold, terrifying voice of the man brought her back to life. Her cheeks turned red instantly out of embarrassment. She was caught red-handed while staring at him. She didn't know why everywhere was so cold. The man was exuding a chilly aura and his face was not smiling at all. Ava shivered uncontrollably. The only thing good about this man is his face. His aura is indeed something else. How can a man be this frightening? He looked so fearful and he was exuding a chilly aura. She wondered how the people around him survived. She kept on shivering without even realizing it until the glass cup in her hand fell on the ground, making a loud crashing sound.

The glass shattered on the floor and the contents spilled on the floor. Ava widened her eyes in horror. It was not her intention to drop the glass.  She couldn't even bring herself to look at the man before her. She quickly bent down to clean the floor and pick up the shattered glasses.

Fortunately. A maid was quick to come and clean the place.

"Clumsy." That was the word that escaped the man's lips.

This made Ava even more embarrassed. She wished the ground would open and swallow her. She's afraid she will die of embarrassment and suffocation if she stays there any longer.

"Have your seat." She heard the man's cold voice and quickly took her seat. She was practically shivering. It was as if she was splashed with a bucket of cold water. She's sure she can't survive a day with this man.

"You said you needed my help. I didn't expect it to be this soon though. What do you want? Is it money?" The man asked. There was a tint of mockery in his words. The only reason he left a note was because the girl was a virgin. He was drugged last night and the culprit was none other than his grandfather. He had been bugging him to find a wife, and he thought the only way to get him married was to let him sleep with a girl. He thought she was different from other girls. But he had disappeared when he got a call from her earlier. This shows she was not a bit different from all those shameless girls. Who knows if she intentionally threw herself at him? This alone fueled his anger.

"I think I asked a question just now. What do you need my help for?" He asked again. His voice was even colder, making Ava shiver.

"I... I... I" She stuttered. She had even forgotten what she had come here for.

"Do you need money?" He asked with a raised brow. His cold voice resonates throughout the place.

Ava didn't know how to reply to him and could only nod slowly. She was so ashamed of herself right at that moment. She came to ask for help from the man she barely knew. There is no doubt that the guy will think she's just a shameless bitch.

"How much do you need? Two million dollars? Four million dollars? Or is it five million dollars?

"Ten million dollars," Ava said and closed her eyes instantly. It took everything in her to be able to say that.

She went to her knees immediately and held her hands up in a pleading way.

"I'm so sorry to ask you this kind of thing. I'm so sorry. I won't promise to pay you back because I know there is no way I will be able to get that money. But I promised to pay part of it. Please don't say no, you are my last hope. You are the only one I could think of." She almost burst into tears while begging him with her eyes closed.

After waiting for some seconds, she got no reply from him and opened her eyes slowly. The man was staring right at her face with no expression on his handsome face.

"Please, I need the money urgently. My adopted family is about to sell me off. Please help me. They collected ten million from Mr Andrew. Do you know Mafia Andrew?" She asked, but the man gave her no reply. She continued "He is the one they want to marry me off to. We are getting married tomorrow. I refused to marry Mr Andrew and I know my family well. They will not return the money. So the only way for me to avoid this horrible fate is to return the ten million dollars my family collected from Mr Andrew. You are the only one I can think of. I promised to pay part of it. Please lend me the money." She pleaded. It took everything in her to force back the tears that were brimming in her eyes.

The man suddenly rose to his feet. He closed the distance between them and bent down to reach Ava's level.

Ava forgot to breathe for a moment when the man's sweet scent drifted into her nostrils. She raised her head and her eyes met with his dark Phoenix eyes. His eyes looked like a bottomless pit.
