It was agonizing.
Daniela Pearson felt as if a car had run her over, pain radiating through her entire body.
When her eyes fluttered open, a good-looking face was right in front of her.
She was stunned.
Why was Kevin Bradley here?
Daniela was horrified to realize that after being drugged the previous night, she had ended up in Kevin's room and...
As she looked at Kevin, once the object of her deepest affections and now her worst nightmare, memories of the past three years flooded back.
Three years ago, for his sweetheart's sake, Kevin threatened her with her brother and mother, forcing her to move overseas.
Her brother had disappeared in the process of looking for her.
Three years passed; her mother's health, already frail from a car accident, had worsened, compelling her to return to the place she detested.
Yet, Daniela hadn't anticipated that within days of her return, she would find herself in bed again with Kevin, the man who had haunted her thoughts all these years.
Her feelings towards Kevin were now tinged more with fear than hate.
If he woke up and found her naked in his embrace...
Fearful of what might follow, Daniela's first instinct was to run away.
She attempted to free herself from Kevin's arms carefully.
However, the moment she moved a little, Kevin's eyes snapped open. He grabbed her neck and pinned her beneath him.
He looked down at her with a ruthless expression, filled with undisguised sarcasm and disgust.
"Daniela, you just couldn't wait to sleep with me, could you?"
Sleep with him?
She hadn't even planned to see him upon her return, much less this.
Daniela met Kevin's gaze and retorted with a forced smile, "Mr. Bradley, I came to the hotel with my fiance yesterday, but now here I am with you. If anything, I'm the one being taken advantage of. I haven't even confronted you about it. Why the anger?"
Indeed, she and her fiance, whom her father had arranged for her, had checked into the hotel together. Her father and her sister, Katherine Pearson, had drugged her in a ploy to force them into having sex.
Daniela mused bitterly about how Katherine would react if she knew her scheme had thrown her most despised sibling into her fiance's bed.
"Don't play games. Keep your dirty thoughts to yourself," Kevin warned.
Daniela's thoughts were interrupted.
Kevin leaned in, his breath warm on her face, but his words sent a shiver down her spine. "Katherine and I are going to be married soon. If you dare tell her anything about us, I will kill you."
