To evade all the questions and confrontations and humiliation, she runs off as far as she could. But little did she know there’s more than meets the eye. The truth is not as straightforward as it seems, and their lives are about to get more twisted in the precarious game of the unknown. {Excerpt} The cold water poured down her naked body and washed away all the evidence of what had happened to her—what he did to her—all night. However, what it couldn't wash away was her aggrieved heart and the pain in her chest. "I loved you, Mr Halest," she sobbed, collapsing on the floor while water pounded on her head. "And you used me!"

Stella has been the mistress of Billionaire Bastian Vanguard ever since her sister was diagnosed with cancer. With no other means to pay for her little sister’s treatment, she submits herself to the arrogant billionaire who claims her every single night. He disregards the fact that he’s married and that Stella doesn’t desire intimacy every time he visits her apartment. However, Bastian has troubles of his own, and he only forgets about them when he’s in the arms of the woman he’s madly obsessed with, claiming every inch of her as his own.

However, during one of his business trips, when he stumbles upon a two-year-old boy and feels an instant connection, he knows it’s only a matter of time before he finds Stella and reintroduces her into his life. ———S N I P P E T ——— “I can’t keep doing this, Bastian,” Stella murmurs, her voice strained with exhaustion as she stares blankly at the ceiling, her naked body feeling crushed under his weight.

You’ll give me what I want because that’s all you’re good for.”
