INICIAR SESIÓNAria Hale was struggling to make money to cover her family’s growing debts. Xavier De Luca, a powerful and selective billionaire, had a strict preference when it came to women. Aria happened to meet his conditions, and the two made an agreement—she would stay by his side as his lover and stand-in wife, while he would take care of her financial problems.
Ver másXavier narrowed his icy eyes that resembled a thousand-year-old frigid lake, and sneered, “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that?”“Aria?”Before Aria could unravel her boss’s enigmatic thoughts, a familiar gentle voice called out to her.At that moment, Aria suddenly recalled her conversation with Dr. Wilson the day before. That was right before her boss abruptly ended the phone call yesterday!Was Xavier referring to Dr. Wilson?Aria glanced up at Scott, who was approaching them, and then at Xavier, whose eyes gleamed with mockery.That must be it! Otherwise, why would he be here today?Scott came closer and observed the bleeding back of Aria’s hand. It was a result of her hasty removal of the needle without applying pressure.Frowning, he cautioned Aria, “You’re bleeding. According to the time of your drip, it shouldn’t have been finished yet.”Aria glanced down and quickly applied pressure to the needle puncture. “Thank you, Dr. Wilson. I’ll take care of it.”Scott sighed with co
“How did it go? Clay didn’t bully you, did he?”Katie’s face twisted with disgust. “What are you doing here? Haven’t you caused enough trouble for us?”Ignoring Katie’s hostility, Bradley Hale smacked his lips and turned his attention to Aria. “Aria, could you step out for a moment? I need to talk to your Mom alone.”Aria hesitated. However, she knew that her father rarely visited, so she decided to give them some space to talk. As she stood up from the chair, she warned Bradley, “Don’t make Mom angry.”Bradley nodded in agreement, but Aria looked back every few steps as she walked out of the ward.As soon as the door closed, Bradley’s feigned concern vanished from his face. It was replaced by a cold and ruthless expression. “Can’t you just zip it?” he said in a low voice.Katie’s eyes filled with anger as she gritted her teeth. “Don’t you dare use Aria to pay off your debts again!”Bradley sneered. “I spent money raising her, so what’s wrong with asking her to help me out now? As lon
He immediately stopped the bodyguards. “Stop!”As the bodyguards stopped, the woman approached Xavier, trembling with fear and desperation.Tears fell as she introduced herself, “Mr. De Luca, my name is Daniella Love. I have something to say to you. Please.”Xavier’s gaze was complicated as he stared at the woman’s earlobe. Unknowingly, his voice softened. “Come with me.”With gratitude in her eyes, the woman replied, “Thank you so much, Mr. De Luca.”Xavier turned to look at Aria and instructed, “Postpone the meeting.”Aria opened her mouth slightly as if to say something but quickly swallowed her words.As she watched Xavier leave with the woman, Aria forced a smile and shut her mouth.Aria returned to her office desk after completing all of her boss’s instructions.However, before she could reach her seat, the vision of the sight before her swayed and she stumbled, grabbing onto the table to steady herself.As she regained her balance, she heard the sound of Daniella’s silver bell-
“You came here seeking me out. Why are you pretending?” Victor sneered as he reached for the vodka on the coffee table.With one hand pinching Aria’s face, he forced the alcohol down her throat. The alcohol flowed into her mouth and nose, causing a suffocating sensation to overwhelm her.She struggled vigorously, but she couldn’t break free from Victor’s restraint.Aria was on the verge of collapsing, her cheeks wet with tears.She should have seen this coming.For three years, no commission from De Luca Group had ever reached $70,000. Naively, she trusted Xavier, believing he wouldn’t manipulate her into the clutches of a pervert like Victor.Clearly, she was mistaken, and her biggest error was trusting Xavier.Aria had shared a bed with him every night, but he had always treated her like a plaything, one that could be easily discarded with money.Victor ripped her clothes apart. In her despair, Aria suddenly caught a glimpse of a vase beside her.She grabbed the vase in passing and
“Mr. De Luca, the results are in. Miss Hale’s gynecological examination shows that she is still a virgin and meets all the standards. She’s clean.” The bodyguard respectfully informed the man on the other end of the phone at the entrance of the hospital’s examination room.Aria Hale lowered her hea
