As an illegitimate daughter, sharon has never been worthy in the eyes of her parents, she has always felt trapped, controlled and unloved by her father. When her family is faced with a crises, her father's company was at the edge of going bankrupt, he got Sharon engaged to the famous son of the Gu family(John Gu) who is rumored to be disfigured and also diagnosed with an hidden illness. He wasn't just known for his disfigurement, he is also ruthless and horrible, another name for fear.
View MoreSharon sat in a corner of the dark room on the cold tilted floor, hugging her legs to her chest, tears streaming down her cheeks. She didn't wipe them away, she was in agony, she was pained and her heart ache.
Her heart thump loudly in her chest, she was scared to death, getting engage to a disfigured man is something she had never envisioned in her mind.
As an illegitimate child, her opinions were always consider useless, no one ever listens to her, no one cares about how she feels, she is always treated differently.
Earlier today Sharon is seated in the living room, making use of her phone, and also watching her sister Jessi as she play a video game.
While they were both engrossed in what they were doing, in the blink of an eye, her father stride into the living room with a sad expression written all over his face, his face hard as a rock.
It was unlike him to come home unhappy, her father always comes back home filled with harmony, but today seems different.
The sound of his footsteps got her attention and she diverted her gaze to the entrance. Her gaze landed on her father, and the expression on his face got sharon worried.
She got curious and was about standing up from the couch, when her stepmother mandy stride into the living room, her gaze fixated on his face.
He had called her an hour before coming back home, and he didn't sound well on the phone.
She quitely sat next to him and placed her hands in his, bringing slight of his attention to her.
"What is wrong? You sounded bitter on the phone, Did something happened? Why are you like this? Talk to me?" She asked, and squeeze his hands lighly.
He heaved a sigh, buried his head to the floor, then gently lift it up. His gaze scan from one figure to another, and back to Sharon.
Mandy was getting more worried since he hasn't said a word. Sharon panicked, his silence isn't helping matters.
Sharon stood up and walk close to him, squat to the ground with her kneels kissing the floor. "Father you're making us worry, talk to us, what happened?" She asked in a warm calm tone.
He gently stood up, help her up on her feet, and cupped her face in his hands. This was unlike her father to touch her, but today his hands are on her face, and it got her more worried. Something doesn't feels right.
"Father's company is about to go bankrupt." He said, and paused, exhaled, then continued. "Father needs to pay off the loan shark to save his company, and you're the only one that can help father save his company." He breath out, and she gulped, not sure of what to say next.
How can she be the only one to save a company she knows nothing about or how it works, She thought.
The next statement he uttered was the last thing sharon had ever expected to hear at that moment.
"You're getting engage to the third son of the Gu family." He added, and this time with a tight lipped smile on his face.
Sharon quickly disentangled his hands from hers, processing what he just said to her, maybe she didn't get what he said.
"I'm getting engaged to the third son of the Gu family? You mean the disfigured son with an illness?" She asked and he bobbed his head in response.
"This is a joke right? You know you can't do this to me, in as much as you don't like me or value me, you can't do this to me, this must be a prank, please let's drop it." She said, and the next thing she heard was a resounding slap on her face.
She placed her hands on her cheek, tears streaming down her cheeks. She lift her head up and saw a angry Mandy, looking like someone who would chop off her head if she utter another word.
"Have you loose your mind? How dare you talk to your father that way? why would your father joke with a thing like that?" She spat, and was about to hit her again when her husband stopped her.
Sharon couldn't utter a word, this was her life as an illegitimate daughter, she neither has her own right to speech, whatever is decided she abides. Her life has always been controlled by her parents.
"Get ready, his assistant is coming to pick you up, and don't think of messing this up." He said, and turned on his heels.
Mandy took one last glimpse at her, before she stride out of the room with Jessi trailing behind her.
She thought everything was a dream, not untill she found herself in his villa.
John is a ruthless and horrible billionaire, he is the third son of the Gu family.
He is rumored to be extremely ugly, he's face is disfigured and he's also suffering from an hidden illness.
The Gu family are one of the most influential and powerful family in the city, but yet because of his predicament, no one in the city wants to have anything to do with him, no family wants to give their daughter out to a disfigured man who's suffering from an illness.
Sharon's father gave her out without her consent. Because of his family crisis's, he needed money to save his company and also pay off the loan sharks.
Sharon wiped off her tears and bit her lips, she dug her nails into her hands, not caring how much it's hurt.
"What offense did i commit in my past life? What did i ever do wrong to deserve this? Why do i have to be an illegitimate daughter of my father? why me?" She breath out, tears trying to fall down her cheeks, but she quickly held it back.
She was deep in thought when her father's words crept into her head before she left the house, he had warned her not to mess thing's up.
He made sure to informed her why she was here and what she needed to do.
Knowing the kind of person her father is, and what he could do to her if she disobey him, She stood up from the cold tilted floor and sluggishly made her way to the bed to wait for her fiance to come check her up.
While she waited, she said some prayers and snuggle under the duvet, trembling in fear.
If she wants her father to be proud of her, if she wants him to like her just the way he likes jessie, she must do as instructed, only then maybe she could be worthy of a daughter.
The door crept open, john strut further into the room. Each step he takes echoed in the room, and it Inflict more fear in Sharon.
John didn't expect the room to be dark, he lean closer to the bed and slowly trace her on the bed, before placing his hands on her soft skin.
Immediately Sharon felt his hands on her, she screamed in fear, thinking he might have a habit of abusing woman in bed.
"Why did you turn off the lights?" He asked in a cold voice, thinking she was scared of the dark.
She tried to form words in her mouth but she couldn't, because she was scared of his disfigured face.
Unbeknownst to him, she was scared of his cruel appearence. He was about turning on the light, but she quickly stopped him, which made him halt.
She fought back her fear and muster the courage to form a word in her mouth. "Please be gentle with me, I'm still innocent." She pleaded.
His hands gently coarse from her toes, to her thighs, with their breathes almost fanning each other.
"Our relationship is just a transaction, i need a wife and you need money." He said harshly without emotions.
