Chapter 12One second, two seconds, three seconds.Nathan's laughter exploded afterward, and Rose could only snort in frustration."Your jokes aren't funny!" she grumbled angrily. "What was that about?"As his laughter subsided, Nath looked at her with a serious expression on his face. Rose suddenly felt a cold aura emanating from his gaze. "Who said I was joking?"Rose suddenly felt like Nathan was playing with her. "Oh, so you're serious?""Just because I laughed doesn't mean it's not true." Nath smirked."Damn it!"Nathan laughed again, then glanced at the clock on the wall. "It's already noon. Let's meet Antonio. You can prove whether my earlier statement was a joke or not."Rose rolled her eyes lazily. She actually felt uncomfortable with Nathan. This man seemed friendly, but he wasn't. He seemed to enjoy teasing her and laughing at her foolishness. It was somewhat annoying for Rose. However, at the moment, Rose needed Nathan to connect her with Antonio. Only then could she make

Chapter 14Antonio actually knew that Rose would return to him after the rejection that hurt his pride. However, he still couldn't accept the outrageous behavior of the little girl. Antonio never paid below average wages, which meant that anyone working with Marquez Antonio would be paid a fair price. But Rose stubbornly refused him and looked at him as if he were a pervert, then she ran off without saying anything, leaving him with such a humiliating rejection. Nathan had already said that Rose was just shocked by Antonio's crazy offer, which seemed immoral. The girl was just an innocent woman trapped by Elliot and accidentally entered the devil's circle at Jean's nightclub. Nevertheless, it was undeniable that Antonio was truly upset with Rose.Now the man stared at Rose, who stood in front of his house with Nathan, and he seemed hesitant."H- hello?" Rose greeted Antonio while trying to calm herself. "Um, for what happened earlier, please forgive me, Mr. Antonio."Nathan looked at

Chapter 16Antonio is a handsome guy. He has a firm jaw that looks so charming, a tall straight nose, voluptuous thin lips, and a look in the eyes that makes anyone feel at home staring at him for long. Being able to be a woman of Marquez Antonio is a gift, perhaps. Good-looking, has a lot of money, has a good body, and he is so domineering that it makes any woman reluctant to let go.However, of course all that is not as simple as it seems to a Rose. Because she met Antonio and was forced to be his woman. In other words, Rose didn't walk voluntarily on her own feet onto Antonio's bed just to get one night's enjoyment. More than that, Rose has another purpose, and that has to do with her mother's safety. According to the woman, they needed each other and they could have exchanged wishes. Rose desperately wants Antonio's money, while the man wants Rose's body.It is not difficult to see whether a man is interested in her or not, because to Rose their gaze is like a starving lion huntin

CHAPTER 18Antonio quickly removed the papers. Earlier, he had given two copies to Rose and placed them on the table. The woman had also ensured the amount of money. Now, the only thing left was the resolution for Antonio. He had been holding himself back since earlier. And truly, there was nothing else Antonio desired but to satisfy his passion for Rose. He had been attracted to her since their first meeting. Furthermore, after tasting her lips, Antonio became even more obsessed. He seemed unable to let go of the girl. All Rose wanted was money, and Antonio had no objection to giving her as much as she desired. His wealth was immeasurable, and what he gave to Rose was only a small portion."Come here, little girl," Antonio smiled, slightly sneering.Rose stared at the man like a hungry lion. Now she felt like a rabbit that had been bought and had to be ready to be devoured by the hunter. But considering the sensation they had just experienced, Rose didn't mind at all. She was confide

Chapter 20Nathan was still staring at Rose when they were in the hospital hallway. The little girl next to him was really beautiful, especially when looking at her soft and delicate facial features. She wasn't very tall, but she had the average height of a girl her age. It made her body look a little more petite but it did not diminish Rose's beauty in the slightest. More than that her body was too tempting to be owned by a girl with an innocent face like Rose."Why didn't you tell your mom the truth?"Nath asked when they were out of the hospital, then went to the nearest bank that was still open at the last second to cash the check into money that would fill Rose's account. The girl gave him an incredulous look. It was as if she was saying that Nath was joking and it wasn't funny at all."Your question is strange." Rose sneered. "What girl would tell her mother that she's now a man's mistress?"Nathan nodded. What Rose had said wasn't wrong. Maybe it was her understanding of family
