Chapter 1 I Will Marry You
Somewhere along the side of a path away from downtown in Solustria, Melanie Robertson was standing uneasily under the dim streetlight.
Not far away came a figure.
Melanie was pleased and took a few steps forward.
But finding the approaching figure apparently tall, she stopped again.
“Didn’t Vanessa promise to meet me here and go back to the hotel together? Why isn’t she here? Is something wrong?” Melanie murmured to herself.
If something happened to Vanessa Robertson, Melanie’s half-sister, how could Melanie explain it to their father?
Melanie was worried when she saw several figures suddenly appear not far away.
Melanie had a premonition.
Looking at the people who were obviously walking towards her, Melanie ran away immediately.
But it was too late.
Several vulgar men with lighthearted smiles suddenly jumped out of the alley ahead.
They whistled frivolously, with cigarettes in their mouths, bare arms and tattoos all over them.
A dozen people soon surrounded Melanie in the middle.
Melanie was terrified.
“What… What do you want?” Melanie asked.
A bald man laughed wildly.
“What? Chick, can’t you even tell?” the man asked.
Melanie was so frightened that she almost lost her balance and collapsed to the ground.
“To tell you the truth, your sister, who wears a red dress, paid us 400 thousand dollars to take your life.
“Before we end your life, let’s enjoy it to the fullest, so it’s not in vain,” said the man as he laughed crazily once more.
Hearing the man’s words, Melanie was shocked to the core. She thought, ‘Why? Why did Vanessa pay these men to kill me?’
Ever since Melanie’s mother died when she was eight, Tracy Robertson married into the Robertson family with Vanessa, and they had been as harmonious as a real family.
Melanie and Vanessa were as close as related sisters.
This time, it was Tracy who proposed to visit Solustria.
Could it be Vanessa behind all this?
But the situation was so urgent that Melanie didn’t have time to figure it out. A dozen men had surrounded her.
One of them had put his hands on her shoulders.
Melanie felt a chill in disgust.
Her right hand touched a broken glass bottle on the ground. She grabbed it in her hand and stabbed at the man smiling grimly at her.
Melanie would rather face death than endure disgrace.
“Go away! You baasturds!” Melanie shouted.
She sprang up, swiping the glass bottle at these men again.
“Guys! Go have your way with her!” the bald man ordered.
As soon as the bald man finished his words, a dozen men rushed to Melanie.
Soon, the hem of her dress was torn.
Just when Melanie was desperate, she suddenly heard the roar of a sports car.
Then Melanie saw a black sportscar driving straight at them.
The car knocked over three strong men and stopped just in front of Melanie.
Melanie’s eyes lit up and she threw herself desperately on the car.
“Help me, please…”
Melanie pleaded eagerly, “Help me…”
The car window lowered, revealing a man shrouded in darkness who spoke, his voice icy, “Miss, we’ll help you, but you’ll need to return the favor.”
“What is it? As long as I can do it!” Melanie asked in despair.
She was at such a point of desperation that she would agree to do anything, no matter how expensive, for her rescue.
“We’ll save you, and you save our boss!” the man in black said with a chilling voice that hinted at a glimmer of hope.
“Save your boss? How?” Melanie asked.
“Make your choice: being violated by these men or being with a single man?” the man said.
Hearing this, Melanie was stunned.
She didn’t expect the man to make such a request.
But it was clear that if she agreed to the deal, she would survive.
If Melanie refused the man now, the photos of her being raped and killed would flood the media by morning.
The decision was painfully clear, even for the simplest of minds.
Melanie had to live!
She wanted revenge!
She wanted to find out the truth!
Melanie didn’t know who the man saving her was and where he was taking her.
As soon as she got in the car, she fell into darkness.
She couldn’t see anything.
The world turned dark, like hell.
Melanie had seen her mother being wheeled into the crematorium and turned into the ash in a little box.
After that, Melanie went blind once.
A doctor diagnosed her with temporary blindness.
Fortunately, Tracy came to take good care of Melanie and soon she recovered.
However, Melanie turned blind again today.
The car sped through the darkness.
Before long, Melanie was led into a room.
She couldn’t see anything, so she didn’t know what the layout of this room was.
But Melanie knew roughly about the typical interior layout of the hotels in Solustria.
So after groping for a few steps, Melanie could roughly tell that she was on the top floor of a hotel.
The room was large and spacious with nobody in.
The air-conditioning was running at full blast. Melanie couldn’t help shivering in the icy chill.
In the corner of the wall, she touched the air-conditioning switch and moderated the chilling temperature.
Just as Melanie felt better, she heard a man’s muffled grunt.
According to the sound source, she thought it was from the direction of the bathroom.
“Oh!” the man exclaimed again.
It had the audible quality of an acute form of profound sadness and agony emanating from the depths of his soul.
This reminded Melanie of herself being surrounded by those jerks a dozen minutes ago.
The man who led Melanie here had told her everything.
Their boss had been afflicted with a potent aphrodisiac, and urgently needed a woman to help combat its effects.
The man asked Melanie to get into the room and assessed the situation. If the man inside kicked her out, the deal was off.
If the man kept her around, the deal would go on smoothly.
Melanie hesitated for a moment and decided to check it out.
Anyway, she had no better choice now.
Maybe the man inside the room would kick Melanie out as soon as he saw her.
Thinking of this, Melanie groped towards the direction of the sound source.
“Oh!”
As Melanie proceeded her way, she heard the man emit a low growl again.
His voice carried with it a tantalizing quality, which made it impossible to resist.
This sent an unexpected shiver down Melanie’s spine.
“Wow, his voice is quite charming,” she murmured and kept fumbling her way forward.
Suddenly, Melanie touched a cold block.
Was there an ice room in this hotel?
Melanie felt it again in confusion.
Yeah, it was firm and cold. And Melanie touched the moisture on the surface as she ran her hand over it. Certainly, it had to be ice.
Just as Melanie was about to touch it again, her arm was grabbed by a hand.
“Who are you?” a man asked.
His voice was rich and refined, reminiscent of a soothing cello sonata.
“I…”
As soon as Melanie was about to say something, she felt a sudden surge of heat from the hand holding hers, almost as though it could melt her on the spot.
Then, without warning, she found herself lifted off the ground, secured tightly in the man’s embrace.
The man was so strong that his arms held Melanie so firmly.
Melanie struggled in panic.
“Don’t be afraid,” whispered the man. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Then the man kissed Melanie suddenly, and a foreign yet captivating scent washed over her.
With Melanie in his embrace, the man lowered her to the mattress.
The quilt under Melanie felt excellent, but a little cold.
She trembled.
“Don’t be afraid. I will marry you. Let’s get married tomorrow,” said the man.
As he spoke, his hot body pressed against Melanie.
Perhaps because Melanie couldn’t see, she could only remember that it was a long night.
The man stopped several times, smoothed her tangled hair with his fingers, looked at her carefully, and touched her eyes and eyebrows.
Apart from those particulars, Melanie could recall only his gruff, labored breathing.
And he said, “Don’t be afraid.”
