Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, however, she chose to work as a manager in a well-known enterprise. The day she celebrated her boyfriend's birthday, she was set up and had a one night stand with a stranger. She left before he woke up and even paid him 250 dollars. Yet, the man was no other than the cold CEO and famous heartthrob. Seeing the bills she left, he suppressed his burning anger and swore to make her pay the price. The love game started now.

Chapter 1 A Setup

Soaring against the dark backdrop of the clear night sky, the most luxurious hotel in Ariosa was the gathering spot of the elite. The hotel was typically home to the fanciest society gatherings and parties. That night, on the 35th floor of the hotel, one such elaborate birthday party was in full swing.

The host was none other the birthday boy himself, Charlie Synder, the eldest son of the CEO of Snyder Group. Synder Group was one of the most influential companies in Ariosa and was only inferior to Empire Group and Guzman Group. Charlie was the current general manager of Synder Group and also the heir to the company. He was the ideal man of many women not just because of his wealth, but also because he cut a fine figure of a man-handsome, gentle, and elegant.

With a pleasant smile on his face, Charlie courteously greeted the guests. Every once in a while, however, his attention would stray toward a slender figure in one of the lesser populated corners of the hall. Ashley Guzman, his girlfriend, was an extremely glamorous woman who usually dressed in simple business suits and wore the minimal amount of makeup. To Charlie, this lack of cosmetics made her even more alluring to his eyes compared to other women. The dream lover in the eyes of all women in the company fell hard for the simple, elegant beauty's attributes. That time, Charlie wooed Ashley and finally earned the right to call himself her boyfriend.

However, Ashley didn't seem to be as passionate towards him as he was toward her. The furthest they had ever gone was kissing, and this slow progress made Charlie very distressed. Charlie would usually seek out the company of the most beautiful of women to satisfy his physical needs and then get rid of them with his money. He believed that a man's physical and psychological needs should be satisfied. Tonight, he resolved that Ashley, his girlfriend, should satisfy those needs.

Seated in an inconspicuous corner of the venue, Ashley wore a plain white dress and a light application of makeup on her face, which made her look elegant and incredibly ethereal.

"Ashley, my dear, why are you looking so worn out? It's your boyfriend's birthday party tonight!" A frown marred Yasmin Olson's innocent face, showing her confusion.

Ashley and Yasmin had met each other in the same taekwondo club in university, and they ended up being close friends who spent most of their time together because of their similar personalities. Later, they joined the same company as a natural extension of their friendship since college. Yasmin was a kind person who, at the same time, was frank and spoke no nonsense. She was also gifted in the looks department, but similar to Ashley, she seldom dressed up or wore makeup.

Ashley sighed. "Ugh. It's a bit too loud in here, don't you think?" One of their basic differences was that Ashley was a quiet woman, whereas Yasmin was a party animal. Right after graduation, Ashley's father asked her to join her family's company. However, she knew that by doing so, she wouldn't be able to show her full potential because she would always be seen as the CEO's daughter. Thus, she opted to work for another company. As it turned out, Yasmin asked her if they could apply to a company together, so Ashley started from the bottom rung of the corporate ladder of Synder Group. Now, she was the manager of the company's marketing department, while Yasmin was the head of the planning department.

"What I'm saying is that, you don't know how lucky you are. Everyone knows that your dashing beau Charlie is dying to introduce you to those powerful old men, but you look like you couldn't care less." Yasmin continued to tease her friend.

Ashley said nothing. She knew that sometimes, conversing with Yasmin could be a test of patience, and that silence was the best way to deal with her.

Yasmin looked like she was about to say something else when she saw Charlie approach them, a goblet in his hand. Yasmin whispered to Ashley, "Take care of yourself." Then she sashayed away.

Ashley snapped back into herself in time to see her boyfriend walking toward her with a slight smile. Under the soft lighting, Charlie looked even more refined and elegant than usual.

"Why aren't you mingling, Ashley?" Charlie asked in a soft, low voice as he sat down next to her. He tried to slip an arm around Ashley's waist, but she eluded his touch naturally.

"It's a bit too noisy for me. Go ahead and greet your guests. I'll be okay on my own." Ashley flashed a smile at Charlie. She still felt uncomfortable with his public displays of affection.

"I have done my duty and greeted all of the elders. Now, I'm here to accompany my girlfriend." Charlie hid his annoyance at Ashley's avoidance of his touch. "Are you thirsty, Ashley? Here, I had this drink prepared especially for you. It's just like fruit juice-there's no alcohol in it, so it won't get you drunk." He picked up a glass containing what looked like orange juice and offered it to Ashley.

Touched by the tender look on Charlie's face and his consideration, Ashley accepted the drink and slowly sipped it. "Thank you, Charlie. This is really good."

A strange gleam flashed in Charlie's eyes as Ashley finished up her drink, but it was gone in an instant. "Ashley, if you're tired, you should go ahead and rest." Charlie stroked Ashley's smooth hair and thoughtfully took the empty goblet from her hand. "Here's the key card for the room I've booked for you in this hotel. You can head up first and take a rest. Once the party is over, I'll pick you up and drive you to your apartment."

"Thanks, Charlie. I'm actually pretty tired. I'll go and take a rest first." Ashley excused herself with a smile. In the past few days, the preparations for the grand birthday party had resulted in a significant increase in Ashley's workload. Thus, she had been pulling overtime for days, and her rest had definitely suffered. Now, she was exhausted. Ashley took the key card Charlie was holding out toward her, and left the party venue after saying goodbye to him.

As he looked at Ashley's departing back, a smile formed on Charlie's lips. 'Tonight, you are mine, Ashley.'

Unbeknownst to Ashley, Charlie had added an aphrodisiac to her drink. The aphrodisiac was expected to take effect half an hour after consumption. Charlie had been desiring Ashley for a long time. As a matter of preference, he couldn't stand clingy women. Ashley was perfect in that regard, but he found her coldness and insistence on keeping him at arm's length upsetting. Thus, Charlie had formed tonight's plan.

For four years, I traced the bullet scar on Chace’s chest, believing it was proof he would bleed to keep me safe. On our anniversary, he told me to wear white because "tonight changes everything." I walked into the gala thinking I was getting a ring. Instead, I stood frozen in the center of the ballroom, drowning in silk, watching him slide his mother's sapphire onto another woman's finger. Karyn Warren. The daughter of a rival family. When I begged him with my eyes to claim me, to save me from the public humiliation, he didn't flinch. He just leaned toward his Underboss, his voice amplified by the silence. "Karyn is for power. Ember is for pleasure. Don't confuse the assets." My heart didn't just break; it incinerated. He expected me to stay as his mistress, threatening to dig up my dead mother’s grave if I refused to play the obedient pet. He thought I was trapped. He thought I had nowhere to go because of my father’s massive gambling debts. He was wrong. With shaking hands, I pulled out my phone and texted the one name I was never supposed to use. Keith Mosley. The Don. The monster under Chace's bed. *I am invoking the Blood Oath. My father’s debt. I am ready to pay it.* His reply came three seconds later, buzzing against my palm like a warning. *The price is marriage. You belong to me. Yes or No?* I looked up at Chace, who was laughing with his new fiancée, thinking he owned me. I looked down and typed three letters. *Yes.*

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.
