Chapter 1
Blinded by a black cloth, she's led into a big spacious room where she's left behind. Inside the warm room, with the sunlight nearing it's setting time, laid a woman on the luxurious, well laid and soft big bed.The woman was entangled in a nearly transparent black veil, and a beautiful white bow was tied at the end of the black veil which fell on the woman's lower abdomen and touched her laps.From the side view, you can tell she is a very beautiful woman with milky white skin and a sharp high bridged nose. Her skin is smooth and her figure is beautiful.Her small and shapely face was blindfolded by black gauze and her nervousness could be seen from the tight silk quilt hands which kept shaking in her laps.With a "click", the door opened leading in and out of the room opens.The silence suddenly seems so loud as someone enters into the room bringing a soft fragrance in.The visitor was silent, and the sound of footsteps was muffled on the carpet.Hearing the slight sound of the door opening, Sue turned pale with nervousness and her hands shook even harder.Then someone reached out and stroked her face, making her flinch for a second. His fingers are not smooth with a rough layer of calluses on the palm and fingers alike.Sue was so frightened and nervous that she trembled violently, almost like she would run away any minute."Ah!" Sue mumbled with a teary voice sounding like she is almost crying.With a crying and nervous voice: "Please, please... let me go." Sue mutters almost silently, hoping whoever it is in the room with her will listen to her pleas.She was like a nervous little rabbit, begging with red but covered eyes and even the room was a dark one."Regret agreeing to this marriage already?" A low and magnetic male voice said very close to Sue's ear.Sue flinches at the closeness of the voice.Although this voice was a question, there was no joy or anger or any emotion at all in it.Sue's body trembled more and more.Tonight, she is here in place of her sister. The Mason and Greene families are about to marry but tonight is to ensure that the daughter of the Greene family is clean.As a tradition of the Mason Family to check the women to be married into their homes, tonight was one of those nights. Although in the past generations, the tradition had been dropped but it's been held tonight.Sue Drayton was not perfect, but she was clean enough that her family forced her to come.As expected or is always done, the person who examined the body was not the eldest or youngest son of the family, but just a bodyguard, gardener, cook or someone from the lower class of the Mason family.The Mason family did not agree with this marriage, so they deliberately made such a this tradition known to them to know if they will back out or not just to humiliate the Greene family.In order to climb up the ladder, so as for the Greene family to be allied to the Mason family and even though they knew that there was a fire pit in front of them, they had to jump into it.Sue was the moth sent to the Mason family flame by James Greene, her supposed father, and she was not prepared for this at all."I, I'm afraid, can you...can you give me some time?"After she finished speaking, her small chin was pinched, and a man's extremely indifferent and emotionless voice came too close to her ear again, "No one can talk to me about conditions."Although she couldn't see the appearance of the man in front of her, she could feel the powerful aura of the man.Feeling his breath getting closer, Sue was so frightened that tears fell and her hands shook very fast like they were going to fall off."No..." Sue said unwillingly with a teary voice, struggling to escape from this place."Do you think you have the qualifications to say no? Miss Alexa, recognize your identity and be classy." The man's domineering and powerful words floated into her ears and danced to her brainThat voice seemed to be cold to the depths of the bone marrow.She could hear the contempt, disdain and disgust in it."Feel aggrieved?" The man increased his strength, and her chin was pinched to the point of pain.Sue could feel the chill on the man's body through the black gauze, and she didn't know whether it was cold or it was because of her trembling from fright.She gritted her teeth and said unwillingly, "If I could choose, I would definitely not come!"If the Greene family hadn't been kind to her and adopted her and took her in since she was a child, she wouldn't have to come here today in place of her sister.The little woman's stubborn expression caught his eye, and the man smiled mockingly, "Since the women of the Greene family want to climb up to the Mason family so much, then don't put on such a wronged look, you are not worthy!"Hearing the man's words about not deserving even the least level of respect, Sue clenched her fists.The man, like the storm outside the window, showed no pity for her on the bed that night, Sue closed her eyes and tears fell.Greene family, I have paid off what I owe you! Sue said and closed her eyes to the world.The heavy rain fell all night and stopped at dawn, and the sunlight gently poured in through the glass and reflected back to her eyes, and Sue woke up from her drowsiness.The long and lushious eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings and she opened her eyes, blinking a few times before adjusting to the light. Thinking of what happened last night, her little face suddenly became terrified. She looked to her side of the bed and it was not occupied, the room was empty except for her, and thankfully, there was no man.She moved her fingers over her body and felt her whole body was sore. She struggled to get out of bed while holding back hot tears, casually put on a sleeping gown and dragged her exhausted body to the bathroom.Pushing the door open, she stiffened on the spot.Lying casually in the bathtub was an indifferent man with delicate and handsome features but an expression like an ice cold sculpture. He looks like a living god with all his facial features looking like they were intricately made.Hearing the door opening, the man slowly opened his eyes and looked at the door. They look at each other.This moment was electric. A sudden moment when something unexpected like a shock happened and neither party can help it.She had never met a person with such a powerful aura. Those cold eyes were like giant eagles flying on the snowy mountains. Sue's legs were already soft like jelly. When she saw him like this, Sue fought the urge kneel on the ground.Could he be the man from last night?!For a while, Sue didn't know whether to sigh at the man's handsomeness, or how to break the awkward atmosphere now.The man's eyes were too cold, and she didn't know how to react, so she had to step back cowardly, to just run from there."Stop." The man ordered, and his voice was a little more hoarse after he was satisfied, very sexy and magnetic.Sue stammered: "That... I, I didn't know you were there, I'll go out now."Who is this uncle? This man is definitely not a cook. Is he a bodyguard? He definitely has the body but the face does not match."come over here." He orders againJust after turning around to leave, she could feel his eyes on her like a thorn in her back and she could only stand motionless like a bunny being stared at by a giant eagle."No, it's not very convenient." She refuses and takes another step forward"Don't let me say it a second time." The man was used to being aloof, and every word, every sentence that dropped from him had an irresistible majesty.Sue didn't dare to disobey his words, turned around and took very small steps and walked over to him."You asked me to come over. I'm here now" Sue mutters meekly Strangely, she had no temper at all in front of this person. This person seemed to be born to rule the life and death of others.Like a god.A big steamy palm grabbed her wrist, Sue let out a coquettish cry, and fell heavily and not so girlishly into the water."Sir, what are you doing..." Sue managed to cry in pain, tears gathering in her eyes.Her chin was lifted like he did the previous night, and the man's eyes as deep as treasure coves stared straight into her kwn eyes.The little girl with red lips and white teeth faded away after baptism. Her gown became transparent and all her treasures were outlined on the gown because it got wet."Come to me early in the morning?" His voice was hoarse, which seemed very indescribable in this atmosphere.The little head shook frantically, "I didn't, I just thought you had left and wanted to take a shower." Sue explains, looking like a lost puppy and it amuses himSue didn't hear the sound of water before she came in, so who knew there would be someone inside."This excuse..." The man whispered in her ear: "It sucks."His scorching breath was in her ears, and she wondered if the water vapor was too hot, and Sue's face turned red tons of times."I'm not lying, sir, please let me go.""Heh... you just got here and you want to leave so soon? Remember, you don't have the right to choose."Sue struggled frantically, messing up and splashing all the bath water in the tub on the pristine white floor.Chapter 2 When she was thrown on the bed again, she just laid there like a dead fish, unable to move because she was tired, too tired and even more tired than her running 1,500 metres in a race.The initiator, however, was standing beside the bed and dressing slowly.The sunlight seemed to be on his side as sun rays shone on him, making him glow. The man was tall and handsome, and the figure was even more impeccable. Every muscle line was just right. The abs seemed to have been carved into his soft skin.It's just such a common thing as dressing, Sue seems to be watching the scene of the male protagonist of an idol drama.No, he is many times more handsome than those contrived men.She is not a nympho girl, but the temperament and natural elegance of this strange man is really attractive!The man glanced at the woman who was staring straight at him from the same bed, like someone who is lost looking at the sunrise.But with a casual glance, the skin on her shoulders that she inadvert
Chapter 3 Greene family.When Sue returned home, Sharon Greene greeted her as soon as she entered the door."Sue, how's it going? Did you fulfill it?"Sue pursed her lips and raised her head to look at the so-called mother in front of her, who would force her to do such a thing last night.She said coldly, "I call you mom, even though you're not my biological mother, I've always respected you, but can you really... no. Why do you want this title so much?""Sue, why will you talk to your mother in that manner? If the family hadn't adopted you, you would have starved to death on a back alley street long ago. After all, you are now the daughter of our family.You want all the benefits, but you don't want to suffer a little loss? Being able to be touched by someone from the Mason family is a blessing you cultivated in your previous life. " says Alexa who trembles with rage as she talks to Sue"Alexa, you are engaged to the eldest son of the Masons. But you are not clean, and you are afra
Packing her bags upstairs, Sue hears a knock on her door. She hesitates before answering."Come in." She says almost inaudiblySharon comes in with a glass of some green liquid. Distrusting, she doesn't take the glass from her. "What do you want? For me to cover for your daughter again?""Drink this. It'll rejuvenate your strength from all the hard work."Sue eyes the glass suspiciously and takes it from her finally. She raises the cup to her lips and take a sip. It tastes funny. She returns the glass cup to Sharon.Sharon smiles slyly. "You know, I was willing to keep you being my daughter until I had to. You've gone ahead and forced me to show my true colours to you."Confused, Sue raises one eyebrow."Oh. You don't understand? Anyway, by the time you wake up, you'll be married to Harry Mason. It only takes very little of that drink to make you pass out."Sue looks angry and betrayed.Suddenly, Sue spits out the green liquid from her mouth. She spits it out completely, grabs a bottl
After a while, Sue exits the office with a long piece of clothing draped over her hands. She calls Tara from the other working room from opposite the main room where she stood with Raya working on some documents not far from her."Ma'am. I already dropped the mini clothes on your desk in your office.""Yeah, I saw them. This is why I called you." Sue unfolds the cloth in her arms.Tara and Raya look at the cloth, positively surprised. "Is this...?" Raya trails off, apparently recognizing the cloth as what she started but gave up on a few days ago.The flowery pattern of the gown remained very beautiful and yet the flay had lace attached at the bottom. Giving it a classical yet trendy look."This is extremely beautiful boss." Tara comments gleefully."Thanks dear. And Raya..." Sue turns to face Raya who couldn't take her eyes off the gown still held out in Sue's hands."Yes?""Don't ever give up on any piece of clothing. Little adjustments here and there just might a mighty difference
Many hours later, Sue stands up from her chair and stretches her back. Still not done with that one cloth she's currently working on, she indulgently smiles and lifts Ash from her sea of toys.She was slightly surprised that the little girl didn't disturb her much through the course of her work and neither did she ask for food. Sue cradles her in her hands as she takes her to a proper bed in the corner of her workstation. "Such a mature baby you are." Sue whispers as she pats Ash's cheeks tenderly. The cute girl smiles in her sleep and adjusts her sleeping position.As Sue makes to leave, she feels a small pull on her smallest finger. Ash was holding on to it. Sue melts down beside her daughter and kisses her finger.After sometime, Sue sleeps off at the feet of her child's small bed.Hours later, but what seems like just minutes to Sue, Ash wakes her up, crying.Sue fully wakes up and grabs her. "What is it bear?"Ash quiets down and reduces her tears to sniffles. Ash makes a face a
Sue arrives at her workplace and parks her car, grabs the cloth from the backseat and goes inside. Raya and Tara are engaged in a conversation."Hi boss." Tara greets, extra friendly.Sue raises an eyebrow. "What are you both up to?""Oh us? We were just in the middle of a simple bet.""I'm interested. What are you getting on and how much?" Sue asks, genuinely interested since there's still more than enough time before Wendy arrives."Well, we bet on the cloth. Whether it'll be completed or not.""Oh. Who bet for completed and who bet on it being incomplete?"Tara hurriedly raises her hands. "I believe in you. I know you'd have completed it so I bet on the cloth being completed. I can't wait to see it." Tara chips fast and happily.Raya just chuckles. "Well, I bet on the opposite of what she laid her bet on. You have a child to take care of. And your own health too, there's a limit to what you could have done in less than fifteen hours.""Hm. How thoughtful. Well, Tara, she's right. I
"Welcome. Hope the ride down here wasn't a tedious one?" Sue asks Wendy as she welcomes her into the small but airy room where the mannequin stood, though draped over with a large piece of clothing."Not at all. There's a lot of beautiful scenery around here that made it enjoyable even."Sue is quite relived that Wendy seems to be in a good mood."Alright then. I know you're a busy person so I'll make this short. On that mannequin over there is the dress I want you to model on my behalf." Sue explains after Wendy takes her seat."Hm hm. Let's see it then."Outside the door stoop Raya and Tara who are eavesdropping, wanting to know what the outcome of the meeting will be.Back inside. "I have to let you know first. The dress is still in the stages of being made so it might not look it's best for now but I assure you it'll be much better when it's done.""Alright. You're keeping me very curious or is that part of it?" Wendy jokes lightly and Sue laughs."Not at all. Well, here it is the
The show has started and from the back, Sue can hear the murmurs of the audience.She finds Wendy who's fully dressed and just getting finishing touches to her makeup."What's up Sue? You look elated.""I figured what the missing piece is. Tara, get me a handheld needle and cream thread. Hurry."Wendy only looks on, puzzled and curious as to what the missing piece is.Tara soon appears with the asked for materials in her hands. "Here it is boss.""Wendy, could you please stand up for a second? I need to make just a tiny adjustment to the hem of the dress."Wendy obeys without question and stands up. Sue bends down and sows the hem of the gown up three joints. She joins three layers of gown and holds them together loosely.She does it in two parts. As soon as she's done, Wendy looks down at the gown she's wearing a big smile appears on her face."I knew it... You were certainly worth the time and energy.""There's just one thing I need you to do on the stage. You see this thread, pull
