This guy, Sathit, must have dealt with Victoria before. No wonder he struck up a conversation with me.I once again offered a polite, respectful gesture. "My name is Kian. I was Victoria's assistant, but not anymore. We had a... disagreement. I was fired."Sathit looked a little embarrassed. "My apologies. That explains why you threw away the ID card. I saw the job title and was simply curious. I hope I didn't intrude.""Don't worry about it."Sathit was very polite. "Mr. Kian, may I be so bold as to ask another question?""Go ahead.""What kind of disagreement did you and Ms. Victoria have?"I couldn't help but frown at that, studying this average-looking Thai man more closely.Does he have a thing for her or something?He must have seen the suspicion in my eyes, because he quickly bowed with his hands together."I'm very sorry, that was too forward of me. I'm only trying to learn more about Ms. Victoria and her company, as we are currently in negotiations with her. Please forgive me

Maybe it was the shock, or maybe she was just paralyzed with fear, but Victoria didn't scream or struggle.She just stood there, stiff as a board, her mouth agape as she stared at me in terror.My body was pressed against hers. I gazed at her delicate face, so close to mine. I saw her trembling eyelashes, the slight tremor in her dark, clear pupils, the way her beautiful red lips quivered.My hormones surged. My blood-engorged brain wasn't thinking anymore. All I wanted was to unleash my revenge on her.This self-righteous woman who had repaid my kindness with betrayal.She had cost me everything.My life was already in ruins. So what if I went back to prison for this? As long as I could release all this anger and hatred."What are you doing? I'm warning you, don't do anything stupid..."Victoria finally found her voice, but she didn't scream. She didn't struggle.She probably knew the hotel room was soundproof, and she knew struggling was useless."I just want to give you a taste of

"What the fuck!" The words exploded out of me."Vince, are you okay? And why the hell would I send people to attack you? I was drunk as a skunk last night too, for Christ's sake!"Vince's anger seemed to subside a little. "I'm not dead, just got a gash on my head. I get what you're saying. I'm not an idiot, I know you wouldn't do this. But this has Zenith Software written all over it. The guys who jumped me didn't just say you sent them, they also warned me not to work with Zenith."Hearing that, I let out another curse. My mind was racing.Based on what Vince said, it was obvious. Whoever framed me wanted to do more than just ruin my reputation; they wanted to kill the deal between Vince and Zenith.And the timing was too perfect. It happened right after Vince and I got close. Someone had to be watching me, someone who knew what was going on between us.Who would do something like this?Besides Victoria, I couldn't think of a single person.She must have been afraid I would actually

I know how to deal with guys like Vince King, guys with that street mentality. Even if you're terrified on the inside, you can't show it. The moment you flinch, the moment you lose your nerve, you're done for.So, even as he glared at me, I kept my expression relaxed. I took a slow drag from my cigarette and said, "Mr. King, it's true Ms. Sterling didn't send a message. But I have something I want to say to you.""What is it?" he grumbled, his face still dark."I'll be direct," I said. "Mr. King, it's natural to appreciate beauty. Our Ms. Sterling is a stunning woman, and as a man, it's normal for you to be attracted to her. But, if you'll forgive my bluntness, you and she are not a good match."I ignored the fact that his face was getting uglier by the second and continued."Frankly, you're a successful man, Mr. King. You have money, and that can attract a lot of women. But you're mistaken about Ms. Sterling. She's not one of those gold diggers. Using this contract to pressure her, t

Victoria was stunned. She clearly hadn't expected me to make such a demand."You're asking to die, you bastard!"The other salesman and the HR rep were equally shocked. The salesman stepped forward, pointing at me and seething, looking like he wanted to chop me up and feed me to the sharks.I ignored him, a slight smile on my lips as I kept my eyes fixed on Victoria.The more I looked at her, the more I realized her beauty was hard to describe with words. Combined with her powerful, ice-queen aura, it was intoxicating.Maybe it was my words, or maybe it was my unwavering stare, but a faint blush crept up her beautiful cheeks. Against her pale skin, it was like a plum blossom blooming in the snow—utterly breathtaking."You really want to sleep with me that badly?"She looked me straight in the eye, a playful, challenging smile on her lips.I pictured her writhing beneath me, a crude but satisfying image, and shrugged. "Of course. What man wouldn't want to conquer a beauty with a body l

"Kian, this is our company's Sales Director, Ms. Sterling."The HR rep, oblivious to the storm raging inside me, made the polite introduction.The woman—so beautiful but made my teeth ache with hatred—seemed to notice the change in my eyes. She frowned slightly, as if trying to place me."Hello, my name is Victoria Sterling," she said. "Have we met before?""Heh." A cold laugh escaped my lips. "Oh, we've met. The last time I saw you, you were tied up in the trunk of a car, tape over your mouth, begging me with your teary eyes to—""Shut up!"Victoria's face flushed crimson, her chest heaving."Remember me now, Ms. Sterling?"She seemed to be fighting for control. After taking a breath, she turned to the bewildered HR rep. "You can go now."The rep opened her mouth, then closed it, scurrying out of the room without another word.Once the door was shut, Victoria stared at me. "Three years ago. The Vesta Hotel in Thailand. You were the one who opened the trunk?""That's right.""It reall
