Betrayed by her boyfriend and half-sister, Chloe drowns her sorrows at a bar-only to wake up next to a dangerously handsome stranger. No names. No strings. Just a one-night mistake... or so she thought. The next day, she walks into her company and comes face-to-face with her new boss-the same man from that night. She avoids him, pretending it never happened. But fate isn't done with her yet. That evening, her father sets her up on a blind date... and he is the one waiting for her. With a smirk, he leans in and whispers: "Woman, you're mine-yesterday, today, and forever."
Summer had just arrived in Detroit.
A light drizzle pattered on the glass window, startling a woman from her slumber.
Caressing the dark gray blanket with her fingertips, Chloe Stark opened her eyes. At the same time, the bathroom door in the hotel suite opened and out came a tall man wrapped in a bath towel and surrounded by hot vapour.
Casually glancing at Chloe's pretty face, Sam Bolton asked half-heartedly, "Do you still remember what happened last night?"
She was stunned for a while, then sat up with the blanket in her arms and said faintly, "Yes... I remember."
Last night, Chloe was in the bar trying to drink her sorrows away. Next thing she knew, she was already in some random strangers' arms. One thing led to the other, they spent the night together in the hotel.
The memory fragments gradually started flowing back into Chloe's mind. And every frame of them was the reminder that she had lost her virginity because of alcohol.
Looking at Chloe, who did not move a muscle, from above, Sam thought she was trying to cling to him. He confessed emotionlessly, "Last night, I thought you were an escort."
Chloe couldn't help but raised her neatly trimmed eyebrows. She checked out his masculine body and gave a cold grin, "That makes the two of us, mister. I thought you were a male prostitute."
Sam's eyes, which were like two pristine stones of onyx, narrowed down at her, "Since it was consensual, I'm sure you won't have a problem if we part ways now?"
Her beautiful eyes turned to the direction of the door. "Sure, be my guest."
Chloe's carefree attitude made Sam ponder. If he had not seen the blood stain on the quilt, he would have thought last night was not her first night with a man.
Yesterday was the first day that Sam returned to the Detroit. Last night, his friends asked him to hang out in a bar. He never thought he would be entangled with a drunken woman right after he left his booth.
He was not in the mood for romance at first, but he could not help it after meeting Chloe's flirtatious eyes. Having his friends trying to be his wingmen, he was already on a hotel bed by the time he realized what had happened.
When Sam walked into the shower after the fun, he wanted to send the one-night-stand away with some money. Never would he fathom that Chloe actually could not wait for him to leave, let alone asking him to answer for his actions.
It seemed that he had not been back to Detroit for too long. She did not even know who he is. However, he could not rule out the possibility that this woman was just playing dumb.
With his eyes, Sam pierced through Chloe, who had skin as light and soft as the moonlight. He reminded her, "Do you still remember what you need to do? I don't want any trouble from you."
Chloe Stark's smirk remained the same with a thread of sarcasm in her tone, "Thanks for the reminder."
Bearing a stranger's child? Well, she was not interested.
After they had reached an agreement, Sam stood in front of Chloe and started getting dressed. His gaze was slightly provocative as if he was teasing her.
He doubted that she could still be as calm as before when she saw his naked body while being sober.
The truth was Chloe could not.
She quickly fixed her eyes on the floor with her cheeks turned as red as a tomato.
Looking at her like this, Sam's eyes dimmed and stared thoughtfully at her side view and neck. Her lips were slightly puffed with rosy cheeks. At this point, a strong urge to conquer her and taste her sweet lips once again grew inside of him.
Faced with such unusual behaviour, Sam frowned with a mild annoyance. After a while, he started walking briskly and left the hotel suite without looking back.
As soon as he left, Chloe immediately bit her lip in vexation. "I've already spent a night with him. Why didn't I dare to even look at him?"
Standing up with a sore back, Chloe went into the bathroom to wash up. She looked at the bloodstain left on the bedsheet with a complicated expression. "It's just a piece of tissue. I am a woman of the new era. Who cares?"
When she left the hotel, the shower had stopped, which was lucky for the people who went out.
Chloe looked around with caution and found a 24/7 pharmacy on the other side of the road. She walked in and after a while came out with a bottle of opened mineral water in hand.
Raising her hand to check the time, Chloe rushed to stop a taxi on the street and instantly got on. "Sir, Dane Corporation. Thank you."
Just as Chloe left in a taxi, a handsome man in a gray suit slowly came out from the corner of the street and stopped at the entrance of the pharmacy.
Sam made a phone call first, and then pushed the glass door open. Looking at the pharmacist who was too shy to look back, he asked, "What did that young lady just now buy here?"
"Some morning-after pills, Sir."
"That woman is not so dumb after all." Sam thought to himself.
A few minutes later.
A white Lamborghini entered Sam's sight. The driver got off nimbly, opened the door, and asked him about his next journey.
Two words came out of Sam's thin lips, "Dane."
Suddenly, Chloe received a call from the office. "Miss Stark, later at nine there will be a board meeting to welcome the new chief executive. All members of the senior management of the company will be there.
Where are you now?"
Hearing the nervous tone in her assistant Dwayne' voice on the phone, Chloe, still on the way, reassured her, "Dwayne, don't worry. I will be there in no time."
