Chapter 1

Cynthia's POV I need eighty thousand dollars. The number made it impossible for me to swallow. It was the price of my heart, my soul. "On your knees. Beg for it." Suddenly the voice brought me out of my thoughts. My head snapped up from the file the moment that sharp, authoritative male voice cut through the café and reached my cabin. It sounded familiar. Too painfully familiar. I immediately left my seat and ran out to find the staff huddled in a circle while the customers were watching everything in shock and surprise, whispering among themselves. I was relieved to see profits finally showing up, only for it to be short-lived. “You don’t know who you’ve messed with,” he snarled. “I’ll ruin you beyond recognition. Now call your boss.” My ears turned red and hot as I heard that voice after years. My heart started pounding in my chest, praying he is not the one I am thinking of. But my fate laughed at me when the staff stepped aside and revealed the man who had made my hear

Chapter 2

The first sight that my eyes caught was that of Aurora. My daughter. My heart, my soul, my life, my everything. Her baby-pink lips were in a pout, her striking green eyes matching the man holding her.Adrian Pearson.A heavy sigh of relief passed my lips as my knees almost buckled. "Mumma," my baby chirped. "Aurora" I stretched my arms, and she immediately jumped into them. I hugged her so tightly I could feel her tiny heartbeat against mine."You scared me." I blinked away the small tears forming in my eyes as I hugged her tightly. It felt like I had gotten my breath back. “I’m sorry,” Adrian said, running a hand through his hair. His black shirt clung to his frame; the sleeves were rolled up to the elbows, exhibiting the veins on his forearm. “I was missing her, so I thought of picking her up.”My heart was still beating fast in my chest. For a moment, I thought he... He took my daughter away. "I even called you, but maybe you were occupied." I closed my eyes for a second,

Chapter 3

The air was sucked out of the cafe the moment he stepped inside. He walked like he owned the place with his cold and intense eyes locked on me. There was not a single per cent of remorse or guilt in them. He flicked his fingers and suddenly his men came forward and dragged the staff away. Lily screamed my name once before the broken door slammed shut behind her.He walked inside casually as if nothing had happened. My heart shattered in my chest when he threw the nameplate away. My palms fisted on my side, my jaw clenched and my eyes narrowed at him. “What?” He drawled, turning his head to me, “No welcome drink today?”I stomped to him with the urge to punch his mouth and break his jaw so he can't say anything anymore but I didn't want to get my hands dirty by touching him. "Why the hell did you do this?" My voice came out louder than I expected "To feed your ego? Are you satisfied now?" One side of his lips curled up into a smirk as he took a small step toward me, swallowing up

Chapter 4

"Hospital? Why?" "She... She woke up with chest pain," he was saying every word with difficulty as if he himself was feeling her pain. "Her lips were..."I didn't wait for him to complete. I jumped into the car and drove to the hospital as my life depended on it. By the time I reached the hospital, my heart was beating painfully hard in my chest. My legs felt out of energy as I ran through the corridor to find Adrian walking back and forth in front of the emergency room. "What happened?" "She woke up crying in pain. Her lips were pale, and she was having difficulty breathing. I was bringing her here when she fainted on the way. Now doctors are looking after her." My heart dropped in my stomach. I lost my balance and stumbled forward. Adrian caught me on time and squeezed my shoulders gently, but it didn't help with my aching heart in any way. "Cynthia, I didn't want to call you but..." He was saying something, but it didn't reach my ears. "She’ll get a fine. Right?" I looked at

Chapter 5

Never say never. Life hears it as a challenge. One year back, when Rhea left the job at my cafe and returned months later with a flat and her own car keys, I was shocked. When she told me what she did to earn it, I thought I could never do this. And now… here I am. Standing in front of the mirror in her place, wearing a black mask that hides half my face, leaving only my red-painted lips visible. I never imagined myself as the woman staring at me through the mirror. But some choices aren't born out of courage; they are born out of the corners life pushes us into. A sharp knock pulled me out of my thoughts. “You’re on in five,” the woman from backstage told me in a casual voice. It's been five days since I started working here, but it still feels like selling my soul every time I step on the stage. I adjusted the mask with my trembling hands and checked my outfit, making sure it wasn't revealing too much. The music from the main floor reached my ears, and my

Chapter 6

Lucien?What is he doing here?His dark and intense eyes burnt holes inside me with such force that air got stuck in my throat.Not even a single word was spoken between us because the look in his eyes was telling that he had seen everything. My lower lip wobbled. If life had been the same as before, I would have broken down in his arms, right into his chest. The place where I once felt safe and protected from the evils of the world.I would have cried out everything that I have been carrying in my heart for years now. But things weren't the same anymore. He wasn't the same man I loved. Suddenly the silence was broken by a familiar voice, “There you are.”My body stiffened. I didn't dare to look around. Lucien kept me locked under his gaze. He heard him, too, but didn't react. Not even a single inch of his facial expressions changed, which scared me. Because I know his calmer self is far more dangerous than his angry side. Suddenly the temperature dropped by several degrees. "Ho

Chapter 7

Trying to forget about him and his offer, I drove straight to my peace.My Aurora.My heart sank, and a breath of relief left me at the same time when I saw my baby sleeping peacefully on the bed.The hospital bed.Quietly, I stepped inside to find Adrian sitting beside her. He was holding Aurora’s storybook. His eyes were closed, and his head was resting against the headboard.He must have fallen asleep while telling her a story.A small smile made its way to my lips. I could never be thankful enough for Adrian’s selfless love.Slowly, I walked to him and tried to pull the book out of his grasp.Bad idea.He flinched and woke up. His eyes were red with exhaustion. For a moment, he looked disoriented until he saw me.“Cynthia,” he whispered.“Sorry,” I mumbled.“Oh, no.” He waved his hand and slowly stood up, making sure he didn’t wake Aurora. “I didn’t even realise when I fell asleep.”His job is tiring, yet he never hesitates in looking after Aurora. “I understand,” I smiled weakly

Chapter 8

The doors slid open with a soft sound that felt far too gentle for the place I was walking into. Lucien’s world. My face stayed still, although my hands trembled at my sides. I have cried all the way here, and now there are no tears left. The maid took me to his room as if it were something she was doing every day. I froze for a second when I entered his room. Though his room was vast and luxurious, my eyes caught sight of him sitting on the couch with a woman on his lap. Her fingers were tangled in his hair, and her lips were sucking his neck as if it was her favourite candy, while his eyes were closed as if he was enjoying the attention he was getting. Slowly, his eyes opened, and they found me instantly. A slow, cruel smile curved on his lips. His hand slid around the woman’s waist and pulled her closer, making sure I saw exactly how easily she fit against him. To hurt me. To remind me I was replaceable. I felt the sting exactly where he wanted. But I refused to give h

Chapter 9

The room went silent after his words. Strip. Dance. The words reverberate in my ears like a sentence being passed. Every fiber of my being screamed at me to refuse, stand up, and walk away with whatever dignity I had left. But that would not pay the medical bills. I swallowed down the emotions burning in my throat and slowly got to my feet. His eyes followed all my movements as if I were his prey. Slowly, he leaned back, spread his arms, and rested them against the couch, watching me follow his order like a king. My knees wobbled as I took a small, hesitant step back and removed the coat completely. I was now standing in front of him in the small red dress that I wore to the stripper club. A small triumphant smirk formed on his lips. I hated that smirk.He simply tapped on his phone and started the music before cocking his head at me. I closed my eyes and swallowed the last of my pride. I zoned out and moved my feet to the music. I tried to forget his presence, but his eyes

Chapter 10

He was planning to humiliate me more. "Beg me to touch you." His words replayed in my head, 'I won't touch you until you don't beg me.' He shrugged out of his coat slowly and started unbuttoning his shirt, all the while keeping his eyes on me. He waited for me to sell another part of my pride while unbuckling his belt and stepping out of his pants. Both of us were now only in our undergarments. “Without begging, I won’t touch you.” He picked up my coat, slid another stack of money into its pocket, and placed it on the nightstand where I couldn’t miss it. “And without touching you,” his gaze flicked to my face, “I won’t pay you more.” He placed it on the nightstand for me to see clearly. That's not enough! I need more. My eyes flicked to him to find a glass of whiskey in his hand. I inhaled deeply and parted my lips to beg, but nothing came out of my mouth. The weight in my chest made it hard to breathe. He dropped a few ice cubes into the glass, took a slow sip, a
