I didn't believe that truth would come to light sooner or later before, until I found myself being manipulated and insulted by that man. I gradually lost myself as I fell into the trap set by him. He pinched my face and whispered, "Are you aware of how slutty you are, Lin Feng?" To die, or to live? Shall I live or shall he die!

Chapter 1 : Truth Would Come to Light Sooner or Later

Not a lot of people would realize the truth of that old saying, Truth Would Come to Light Sooner or Later, present company included.

But all the skeletons in one's closet would finally come to the surface one day.

Including mine.

I am Lin Feng, a 27-year-old senior executive of Yaochen Technology Co., Ltd.

All my nightmares started at nine o'clock in the morning on June 23rd, when I walked into the office as usual.

My secretary, Xiao An handed me an express delivery, on which there were remarks saying that it must be opened by me personally. Feeling confused, I opened it readily. A photo slipped out of the envelope in an instant.

I slid down from my chair and sat on the ground with my body shivering due to an emotional turmoil.

On that photo, I found myself lying on the dark sheet, merely covering my private parts with hands.

I crumpled it immediately and pressed the fragments against my chest, trying to remain calm.

With a beep, I received an email on my cell phone. "6: 30 this afternoon, Room 306 of Hilton. Don't forget the room card."

I was still in confusion when Xiao An knocked on my door.

I quickly adjusted my posture, and took over another envelope under her curious gaze. The item inside was angular, a room card.

My phone rang with another message, "Careful not to cut your fingers."

I was trembling all over, and stood up while looking around neurotically. Was someone spying on me?

Who was that? Was there a camera somewhere? Or was he peeping from the opposite window? Do we have a stalker in this company?

I drew the curtains, shut the blinds, and looked for cameras in every corner of my office. But nothing turned up.

Later on, I received another message, in which the sender taunted me and told me to spare my useless efforts.

Regardless of the look on Xiao An's face which showed that she had taken me as a lunatic, I sat on the sofa and gasped for breath.

I would never let Zhao Dong know what happened that year, never!

He was such a conservative person.

I found it hard to hold my tears back at the thought of Zhao Dong. We started our business from scratch in college and worked hard for several years before we had this company. Perhaps it was because of his increasingly busy work, the time he spent at home with me was greatly reduced. Moreover, there was secret anguish in my heart.

Zhao Dong was infertile.

He should have been abroad for treatment at the beginning of this year. However, due to his working arrangements, it was postponed repeatedly.

I loved Zhao Dong so much that I even granted that seemingly ridiculous and crazy request in order to get the start-up money for our company.

It was to sleep with a man for one night, under the condition that he promised he wouldn't do anything. So, I never knew who my money backer was.

At that time, I just considered it as a game for the rich. But I never expected that I would be photographed, and there would be follow-ups!

A regular meeting was due on Monday, during which I was constantly making mistakes. When I was trapped in embarrassment, I heard that life-threatening ringtone again.

I was petrified on the stage. In his message, the sender said that I looked pretty in high heels and black stockings, and he told me to wear them to the hotel room at night.

I had no time for the chaos offstage. It was Xiao An who helped me out of this predicament. She advised me to go home and take a rest, for I had been acting weird.

I drove around aimlessly with confusion. No matter how Zhao Dong was, divorce was the last thing I wanted to do!

I didn't know how I ended up at the gate of Hilton in a state of ignorance! And I started crying on the steering wheel.

In my blurry vision, the scenes of me being in the relationship with Zhao Dong before came back clearly to me, which aggravated my guilt.

I even had an impulse of telling him everything and begging for his forgiveness.

I took out my phone and dialed the familiar numbers, "Darling, I..."

MY MASTERS

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
