Beatrix Smith had an excellent, simple life. Sweet, colorful, and without ripples. However, one day, Beatrix finds her world seems to be on the opposite side. Overnight, Beatrix became the property of River De Luca, a young CEO at the hotel where she worked who was known to be handsome but cold and cruel. Beatrix never knew what grudge River had until the man was determined to torture and destroy her life. However, River never thought he would fall in love with the figure he hated. Will the love River feels be able to erase his hatred, or will he persist in his original plan to destroy Beatrix?
Beatrix Smith stood confused in front of one of the penthouse units in the main building of the De Luca Suite Hotel & Casino. Beatrix knows that this unit is occupied by River De Luca, owner of the De Luca Suite Hotel & Casino, where she has worked since graduating from college one year ago.
Beatrix didn't understand why she was suddenly transferred to housekeeping, even though she had worked in the front office all this time. Her transfer was sudden, and she immediately had a big responsibility.
The bodyguard standing guard in front of River's unit immediately opened the door for Beatrix. "Come in, Mr. River has been waiting for a long time."
Beatrix wondered if she should clean this place while the owner was inside. Beatrix hesitantly stepped in while pushing a trolley containing cleaning equipment.
Once inside, Beatrix was stunned. She knew the penthouse unit must be large and luxurious, but Beatrix had never seen it in person.
Beatrix subconsciously muttered, "Where should I start working from?"
Suddenly, Beatrix felt someone approaching and then stopped right behind her. A pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist, then turned Beatrix's body to face each other.
"Mr. River?" Beatrix whispered in surprise. He could immediately recognize River's face because they had met before.
"You can start by accompanying me to enjoy a glass of wine," said River as he looked at Beatrix with a deep gaze.
For a moment, Beatrix seemed hypnotized by River. His figure seemed mysterious, even though she had to admit his face was handsome. Everything about River gives a masculine impression. His black hair is the same color as his eyes, and he has a defined jaw and nose line. His tall, straight body was decorated with tanned skin. It's not surprising that many women are willing to become lovers of this 32-year-old man.
"But I was assigned to clean this place."
"That's not what I need from you." River pulled Beatrix's body closer, then whispered in the girl's ear, "What I want is your body."
Fear made Beatrix push River's body hard, then step back. "I can't do that kind of work."
River smiled sarcastically. "No one cannot do such easy and pleasant work."
"I can't."
River looked at the girl in front of her from head to toe, then gave her a condescending look. "I will pay you a high price."
"I'm not a cheap woman!" Beatrix snapped. She didn't care if, after this, she would be fired for daring to go against the wishes of the highest authority here.
"Don't act naive and self-righteous, Beatrix! I know you're not that different from your sister."
"Don't speak bad about my sister!" Beatrix replied boldly.
"You naive!" River pouted, amused. "I will make you realize what your sister is like."
River's words made Beatrix shudder. What does this man know about her sister? How can Amadea deal with members of the De Luca Family, who are known to be decisive in San Diego and even all of California?
While Beatrix was thinking about Amadea, River grabbed the girl's hand and dragged her.
"What do you want, Sir?" Beatrix tried to free her hand from River's grip.
"Don't be noisy!" River shouted angrily. "I don't like talkative girls."
River's steps stopped in front of a bedroom. He pushed open the unlocked door, then pulled Beatrix close to the bed.
"Change your clothes!" River pointed to a bright red dress lying on the bed.
"I don't want to!"
"Will you change it yourself, or do you need me to do it forcefully?" River hissed threateningly.
Beatrix froze with a horrified look.
Seeing that Beatrix was silent, River grabbed the girl's uniform top and pulled it roughly. "I'm tired of seeing you in this boring suit!"
"Please, don't!" Beatrix screamed while holding her torn clothes. Some of the buttons even came loose.
River grinned evilly. "Do you need my help to continue, or can you do it yourself?"
"I will do it by myself," said Beatrix shakily.
"Smart girl!" praised River, satisfied. "Don't be too long. Come out as soon as you finish changing!"
Beatrix's body trembled when she was left alone in the room. What will happen to her? If she got lousy treatment from River, there wouldn't be anyone who could help her either.
Finally, Beatrix was forced to remove her uniform and put on the dress River had provided. She shuddered when she saw her reflection in the mirror. The bright red dress she wore exposed her backside down to her waist. The front part has a very low cleavage, while the length only falls an inch from the hips.
"Come out quickly!" River's shout sounded very impatient.
Beatrix couldn't help but force herself to step outside but stood scared in front of the door. Beatrix could see River sitting, relaxing on the sofa with a bottle of wine.
"Come here!" River patted the sofa while grinning with satisfaction. He looked at Beatrix's appearance and assessed her. "Not bad."
This 23-year-old girl has the ideal body that many women dream of. The most beautiful part River couldn't wait to touch was Beatrix's long neck and legs. River also imagined how those wavy strands of golden hair would feel on his fingers.
River's hand grabbed the girl's waist when Beatrix was about to sit down.
"Please put your hand aside." Beatrix felt uncomfortable sitting on River's lap.
"I won't," River replied casually. Instead, he brought the wine glass in his hand to Beatrix's lips. "Drink!"
Beatrix shuddered with fear. "I don't want to."
In her entire life, Beatrix had never tasted a sip of alcohol.
River did not comment.
Beatrix thought the man wouldn't push anymore. However, River suddenly grabbed Beatrix's chin and kissed her forcefully. Slowly, Beatrix felt the wine touch her tongue. Immediately, Beatrix coughed. Either River's forced kiss or the acrid taste of the grapes was the cause.
Seeing Beatrix's reaction, River chuckled, "It turns out you're not experienced in either."
"If you already know that, can you let me go?" Beatrix asked with a pleading look.
"Why should I let you go?"
"I won't be able to satisfy you because I'm inexperienced."
"So wrong!" River snorted sarcastically. "Inexperienced girls are more fun."
Suddenly, River pushed Beatrix and pinned her down on the sofa.
"Please let me go," Beatrix whimpered in fear. "I don't want to do this."
River's eyes flashed as he whispered, "You had no choice, Beatrix."
"Why are you doing this to me?" The corners of Beatrix's eyes started to get wet.
River traced Beatrix's face down to the girl's neck very slowly. "Do you want to know the reason?"
"Tell me..." Beatrix asked softly.
"To make you pay for your sister's mistakes," River hissed coldly.
Beatrix could see River's eyes thick with hatred. "What did she do wrong to you?"
"Time by time, you will know." Now River's hands began to touch the beautiful curves of Beatrix's body. "But for tonight, I just want to have fun with you."
