Vanessa was about to get engaged when she discovered that her groom-to-be was cheating on her with her own sister. Instead of creating a scene, she went to the club and hired the most desirable gigolo she found. After a wild night of passion, she gave him a generous check. "Thanks. I may require your services in the future." The gigolo was mad at her for being heartless, but Vanessa dismissed his words as an attempt to get her attention. It was only later, when she had to seek out the renowned Mr. Fuller to help with her business, that she realized the man she had slept with was no gigolo at all.
In a lavish presidential suite at the International Hotel in Rixwood, a heated sex had just ended. Clothes were carelessly scattered across the floor, with the air still thick with the afterglow of intimacy.
Vanessa Dawson reclined against the headboard, her bare skin traced with red marks. She toyed with a slim cigarette between her fingers, her striking features radiating a serene, sultry charm.
In the next second, a deep, husky voice broke the silence. "You're awake. Care to share what's on your mind?"
Vanessa looked up to meet a handsome face. His sharp features seemed sculpted to perfection, a hint of a playful smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. With a high-bridged nose, thin lips, and deep, captivating eyes, he exuded charm. A small mole under his eye gave him a touch of boyish innocence, making him seem younger than Vanessa had expected.
Fresh from his shower, steam still clung to his skin. A drop of water trickled from his damp hair, gliding over his collarbone, down his defined abs, and disappearing under the towel secured around his waist.
A sudden dryness crept into Vanessa's throat. Tilting her head gracefully, she beckoned him with a playful smirk. "Come here."
With a low chuckle, he complied without hesitation.
Vanessa's slender fingers pinched and caressed his chin, her lips curving into a teasing smile. "Such a good boy. Just my type."
"Cut it out," he muttered, his voice husky. Yet, the flicker of desire he'd tried to suppress stirred back to life under her touch.
Vanessa chuckled softly. "Aww, so shy, cutie. This is your first time doing this kind of thing?"
She grabbed her bag from the nightstand, pulled out a thick stack of cash, and offered it to him. "Here, take it."
He froze, his breath catching. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"It's a little thank-you for all your hard work last night."
His face clouded with anger. "You think you can pay me off? What am I to you, some top escort from Elysium?"
Vanessa's smile didn't waver. "What? You expect me to take our casual relationship seriously? It was just a fling, sweetie. Don't overthink it."
His eyes reddened, and his expression twisted with frustration and hurt.
Vanessa's heart softened slightly. She ran her fingers through his hair and laid more cash on the table. "There, be good. I'll give you my assistant's number. If you ever need anything, just reach out."
With a final glance, she gathered her clothes from the floor, dressed quickly, and walked out without looking back.
Behind her, the man clenched his jaw, his gaze burning with fury. "Vanessa, how could you?"
Vanessa, however, ignored him completely.
Yesterday had been monumental. She had been promoted to director of the Dawson Group and successfully secured control over the company's products in North Epolina. Simultaneously, she discovered that her fiancé, Connor Saunders, was entangled with her younger sister, Dayna Dawson.
She didn't care much about Connor's infidelity.
But having her sister as his lover was a direct insult she could not accept.
Headstrong and proud as ever, she refused to let this go unchallenged.
During the celebration party, a group of charming male escorts had been summoned. Vanessa surveyed the room but found no one appealing, so she retreated to a corner to drink by herself.
To her surprise, a young man showed up out of nowhere, who boldly snatched her glass and even suggested she drink less.
Through her haze, she realized that not only was the young man audacious, but he was also quite striking. She was taken aback that she had missed such a hidden gem among the escorts.
Fueled by alcohol, she impulsively took him to the hotel and shared one passionate night with him.
Yet it was merely a fling. Taking it seriously would spoil the thrill.
For Vanessa, her priority was to marry into the Saunders family.
Years ago, the Steward family, the family of Vanessa's mother Janet Dawson, had been wiped out, leaving only Janet. Then, when Vanessa was young, Janet died under mysterious circumstances.
From that day on, Vanessa never stopped her quest for the truth. As the years went by, she began to piece together clues that suggested the incident was connected to the Saunders family.
To find the truth, she knew she had to step right into the danger zone. And marrying Connor was the only way she could think of to get close to the Saunders.
While she was lost in thought, her phone rang. It was her father, Phil Dawson. "Vanessa, the Saunders family members are visiting. You need to come back right away."
An hour later, Vanessa arrived at the Dawson family's villa.
Upon entering the villa, she was met with a room full of people on the sofa.
Both the Dawson and Saunders families were in attendance, including Connor's father, Colten Saunders.
Before Vanessa could grasp the situation, Colten smiled. "Connor, you mentioned you had something important to share once Vanessa arrived. Now that she's here, please go ahead."
In the next moment, Connor stood up, his gaze sharp and determined. "Dad, Mr. Dawson, I'm here to tell Vanessa something. I don't like her at all. I find it challenging to deal with her strong personality. It's Dayna I love. I want to end my engagement with Vanessa."
The room fell into a stunned silence upon his announcement.
