Chapter 1

“My dear, you smell really nice…”

In the dark, a man’s hoarse and magnetic voice echoed into Eliza’s ears.

She was kneeling on the bed. Her hands were tied up with a leather belt and her eyes were covered in a black silk cloth.

Now that she couldn’t see anything, her other senses were even more sensitive than before. Trembling, she shrunk her body into a little ball as she endured the stabbing pain inflicted on her body.

In complete darkness, she could only feel the man raping her from behind.

“Now, be good. Let’s change into another position, okay?”

……

Eliza Lawson forced her eyes open, only to find herself breaking out in cold sweat.

She covered her burning forehead with her palms. It had already been five years since that incident. Why would she still dream about something that had happened such a long time ago?

She rose from her bed and walked towards the bathroom to wash her face. She felt refreshed after splashing her face with cold water.

Holding on to a cup, she went downstairs to retrieve some water.

“No! I don’t want to do it! I don’t want to be married to that perverted old man!”

“The third son of the Valentine family is an old and ugly man! Everyone knows about that! No woman in Krine dares to get married to that man!”

“He was involved in a fire accident five years ago. Besides ruining his face, that fire also changed his personality! He’s a monster inside out! I heard that he likes torturing his previous two girlfriends as well. You can’t just marry me off to this monster!”

A woman was shouting from the top of her lungs in the living room. “Plus, I shouldn’t be the one to be married off to him. Eliza should do it instead. She’s not even a virgin anymore! She has given birth before, so I’m sure she is a lot more experienced in this field! Eliza should be honored to be given this opportunity!”

“Esme!”

Esme’s father, Riley Lawson scolded her in a stern tone, “Eliza is your sister!”

Esme Lawson gritted her teeth and said with a cracking voice, “Dad, I’m your biological daughter, not Eliza. She’s just someone whom you mistook for as your biological daughter when we were born. Because of her, I had to endure living a poor life for the past 18 years! Now that I’m back to the Lawson family, I’ve built my own career from scratch. You can’t just force me to marry this man now!”

“She’s right.”

Presley Stafford, who was standing at the side, added on, “Esme has created a name for herself in the business industry. She is our pride and honor. How can we sacrifice her just like that?”

“Besides, we’ve raised Eliza for 23 years. It’s time for her to repay our kindness.”

After Presley finished speaking, the family of three looked at Eliza, who was standing on the second floor.
