Pull You Closer Into Me Chapter 1 Inexperienced

"That doesn't matter. Look, I just arrived. I'll wait for you. I'll be sitting next to the window, so you can see me when you are here." Once she hung up the phone, Elsa Xia looked at her watch. Half an hour had already passed from her appointed time.

Mark Le had already told her that his car was stuck in a traffic jam. It was rush hour and there were traffic jams all over the place. If she hadn't gone out early, Elsa Xia might've been stuck there too. That would've been even more of a hassle. She finished her last piece of bread and drank half a cup of her coffee before going to the restroom.

As she saw herself from the mirror, Elsa Xia was not looking well. The dark bags under her eyes were a result of dozens of sleepless nights. She looked so gaunt that they could place her in any horror movie and she'd fit right in. She sighed, washing her face with cold water. She'd worked overtime last night to finish the press release. It needed to possess absolutely no errors, and it took a lot of work. Once she was finished, it was already past five in the morning. Without rest, she quickly went to her meeting place with Mark Le.

Elsa Xia worked as a journalist on the society pages. On her spare time, she had agreed to sign a novel with Mark Le. It took her a long time to finish it and when she'd submitted it up to the publishers, she wasn't expecting that Mark would send her a publishing contract so soon. They'd only chatted on the Internet for a while so they hadn't seen each other yet. This was why Mark decided to meet up with her.

As she came out of the restroom, she noticed that there was a man occupying her seat. Mark had always said how he looked really feminine and how he was sometimes recognized as a women. Thinking of it, a smile generated at the corners of Elsa's mouth. However, as she moved closer, the man in front of her didn't look like a woman in the slightest. With black bushy eyebrows, hard facial features, and thin lips, no one would connect him with being a 'feminine beauty'.

However, thinking that it was probably just a misunderstanding, Elsa still approached him. "You're here."

The man was surprised by her words, looking at her up and down. Being a reporter, Elsa was accustomed to dealing with all types of people on various occasions. However, being in front of him, she couldn't help but blush. "Well," she started. "Just as we talked before, I don't think I can do that."

The man raised his eyebrows. He had no idea who this woman was. She looked so uninteresting as she was dressed in nothing but a business suit with a well tied-up ponytail. Her eyes weren't small, but the black spectacles emphasized the bags under her eyes.

He wasn't about to reply. However, as the blush grazed her cheekbones, he couldn't help but be a bit more curious. "Really?" he said in disbelief.

The voice was different from what she'd heard on the phone. However, as she was dizzy, she didn't hear much of a difference.

"Yes. I've thought it over. Besides, it's a pure love story. Don't you think adding those racy scenes would ruin the beauty?" Realizing that she'd been talking to Mark for quite a long time, she decided to come straight. "Besides, I don't have much experience on that area."

"Ah." The man nodded and rubbed his nose, as if reeling it in.

Elsa nodded. "So can I stop?"

"But you can learn it. It really won't take much time," he suggested.

Elsa couldn't help but blush at the implications. "The references that you've sent me... Although I've read them all, I still don't know how to do it."

Although she added some passionate plays, she couldn't help but be uncomfortable writing it due to her lack of experience. The man suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. 'She didn't look stupid, yet why does she seem so silly?'

"So, can I refuse?" Elsa asked again.

"I think you should just give up on the editor." The man crossed his arms. "If you're asking my opinion, of course."

"What?" She adjusted her thick-rimmed glasses, gazing up at him. "What did you say?"

"Give up on your editor. My friend is here. If you'll excuse me."

Soren Wang stood up. He gave Elsa one last once-over before dragging his stare away.

"What? What just happened?" It was then did she realize that she had mistaken somebody else for Mark.

She'd thought he was Mark! Given how crowded this place was, he must've sat in front of her because there weren't any seats available. Her face flushed. She couldn't believe that she'd say everything in front of a man who didn't even know her. Before she could apologize, the man already moved to another table and sat down, leaving her for a tall figure.

Another man seated right in front of him. That must've been his friend.

Even though his back was turned, she still felt uncomfortable. She turned her chair to make sure that her back was turned on him. She took a long breath, settling in her seat.

She took one last look and found that Mark was on his way here. Elsa was thinking whether she'd make a phone call to hurry him up. After all, she might be very busy these days and didn't have much time.

While she was thinking, her cellphone rang. In a somewhat weak voice, Mark said, "I'm sorry, Elsa. I had a car accident just now, and I was injured. Can we postpone the appointment today?"

"Are you okay? Where are you now? Should I come and see you?" Elsa shot up from her seat worriedly, her eyes narrowing.

"It's just a minor wound. I'm really sorry about this, Elsa."

She decided not to press this issue further as she waved her hand in dismissal. "It doesn't matter. We can talk later. Take care of yourself."

"We can set an appointment on another day," he apologized.

Good things never really came easy. After hanging up, she packed her bags and went to the hotel.

Tomorrow, she was going to step into the wedding hall. A simple ceremony was all she ever wanted. Elsa's hometown was far away from Linchuan City of S Country. It took about seven to eight hours to get there from her hometown. It wasn't very convenient, so there weren't many relatives and friends who'd go. It would be a very closed-off wedding.

As for Greenwood Li, since he was a native, he would have more guests. Since they were all for living a more frugal life, the wedding was scheduled for only six tables and they didn't even call in a wedding service company to manage the occasion. Elsa reserved a small and comfortable hall, which was her preference.

Although it was simple, she still had other things to deal with. Her family members wouldn't arrive till tomorrow. Since they were a stickler for tradition, she would go to the wedding site herself.

As soon as she came out, her phone started to ring. "Hi Dad," she answered.

"Zaza! Your mother, aunt and I will take the early bus tomorrow morning and will arrive in the afternoon. Perfect for attending your wedding banquet tomorrow evening." Johnson Xia's voice was filled with guilt. "We shouldn't have let you prepare the ceremony alone. If it wasn't for my health... All I've done just caused you more trouble, sweetheart." She could tell that he had been kicking himself because of that little ordeal.

"Dad." Tears welled up in her eyes. "Don't say that. You're weak, but your daughter can't even stay with you. I'm..."

"Hey, why do you mention that again? Let me speak." Without leaving him time to reply, Blanche Yang grabbed the phone from the other end of the line. "Zaza, don't listen to your father! When you're married, we won't lose anything. In fact, we'll gain a son. That's nice, isn't it? We'll be happy."

"Yes." Elsa choked. "Remember to bring some medicine, please. Have a safe trip. Call me once you've arrived. I'll pick you up."

She had booked airplane tickets for her parents, but since they considered it to be several times more expensive than a bus, they decided to refund the plane tickets. Unable to persuade them, she had no choice but to agree.

After some more chatter, her mother hang up the phone.

Having worked in a steel plant, Johnson Xia's legs were injured due to a work accident. He was the first one to be laid-off. He had to do hundreds of part-time jobs to support them. Although it took a toll on him, he was able to support for his family. Now just when they could enjoy their lives, his health was already declining.

In fact, he just had an operation last year. That was one of the reasons why Elsa agreed to marry Greenwood Li, just after three months of settling down with him. She was already twenty-seven, and she would not allow herself to see her father wait endlessly for her to walk down the aisle.

Greenwood Li was her classmate in high school. As he was not admitted by the university, he joined the army through family relationship. Now he left the army and worked in a suburban high school as a P.E. teacher.

Elsa's parents had always had a very good impression of Greenwood, and they were very satisfied with his current job. Besides, the two were classmates in high school, so parents of both sides acquiesced the marriage before they could meet with each other because of Johnson's relapse.

Elsa had already met Greenwood's parents before. His father was very serious while his mother was a chatterbox. She couldn't tell if that was a good thing or a bad thing, but they had been well-acquainted before the wedding.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

For three years, I was the perfect, invisible wife to Bart Brown. On our third anniversary, I stood in the kitchen for four hours, preparing his favorite meal with imported truffles, only to receive a cold text command. "Crysta fainted again. Get to the hospital. Now." My rare Rh-negative blood was the only thing the Brown family valued. Bart didn't want a wife; he wanted a walking blood bank for his "sick" best friend, Crysta. While I was fainting from chronic anemia, Crysta was smirking in her hospital bed, clutching Bart's hand and mocking my "peasant" lifestyle. Even his mother treated me like a servant, demanding I vacuum the floors after I'd already offered my veins for the hundredth time. When I finally reached my breaking point and signed the divorce papers, they didn't let me go quietly. They filed a false police report, accusing me of stealing a multi-million dollar diamond necklace just to watch me crawl. I didn't understand how a family could be so heartless. I had cooked their meals, cleaned their house, and literally bled for them, yet they were determined to ruin my life the moment I stopped being useful. Did they really think I was a nobody with nowhere to go? Standing outside the hospital with a bruised wrist and nothing to my name, I didn't cry. I simply took off my cheap wedding ring and dialed a secure line I hadn't touched since the day I married him. "It's me, Dad," I whispered as a fleet of black Maybachs rounded the corner. "The extraction is a go. I'm coming home."

I went to the New York City Clerk's office to handle a simple administrative matter, but the woman behind the glass handed me a nightmare instead. It was a certified marriage license from Clark County, Nevada, filed exactly three months ago. My vision blurred as I read the name in the spouse field: Baxter Noel. I was legally married to the ruthless billionaire whose legal team was currently suing me for intellectual property theft and trying to destroy my career. I remembered the conference in Las Vegas and a drink that tasted far too sweet, followed by a twelve-hour black hole in my memory that I had chalked up to exhaustion. When I sought help at my family's estate, my stepmother and sister didn't offer comfort; they stole my passport, shredded my clothes, and framed me for academic plagiarism to strip away my university fellowship. Even Baxter himself looked me in the eye with cold indifference, claiming he didn't know me and promising to have me arrested for fraud if I ever showed him that document again. Within twenty-four hours, I was homeless, jobless, and being hunted by the most powerful man in the city. I couldn't understand why a man who "eats people for breakfast" would be caught in the same trap as a struggling scientist like me. The confusion turned to pure terror when I looked at the witness signature on the license: Gene Mcclain. My mother, who was supposed to have died in a car crash ten years ago, had signed that paper with a fresh, trembling hand only ninety days ago. "I am holding a grenade, and I have no idea when the pin was pulled." Standing in the biting November wind with nothing but a laptop and a marriage license, I realized I was just a pawn in a much deadlier game. I stopped running and began to fight back, determined to use my unwanted status as the billionaire's wife to uncover the truth about the mother who came back from the dead.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
