(SSPG WARNING, Read at your own risk!) What if one day you discovered that your father sold you to a handsome billionaire who doesn't know how to love? That all he needs from you is your body? Piere Monecidad frowned as he stared at the woman, Lumi Torinio, who was sold by her own father to pay off his debts and gambling addiction for twenty million. "Don't lecture me about love, Lumi," Piere said firmly, gazing dispassionately at the innocent face of Lumi. "It's written in the contract that I'm only interested in your body, and that's all you're here for. Don’t you dare cross the line by trying to teach me how to love someone." Piere grasped Lumi's small face, his green eyes uninterestedly staring into her anxious gaze. "Don't try to teach me to love you. Because what you want will never happen, do you understand me?" He tightened his grip on Lumi's jaw before bending down and kissing her lips, leaving Lumi stunned. "Answer me," Piere demanded firmly. "P-Piere—" "Give me the answer I want, Lumi. Stop calling my name," he commanded with authority. "I-I understand, Piere," Lumi answered nervously, causing Piere to smirk and plant light kisses on her lips.
