Inside the Grand land VIP section. The VIP section didn't have any glaring neon lamps or loud music. On the contrary, the environment was rather quiet and intimate. This was where the urban white-collared workers and wealthy rich individuals came to relieve their stress.

However, in a private room, a small social gathering was taking place. The gathering consisted of all the well- known bachelors in the city and highly wealthy businessmen.

In a dark corner, A man who had a cold and aloof aura with an indifferent expression was being surrounded by a group of people.

These groups of people present weren't just ordinary wealthy people, most of them were the top giants of Miami and seeing them was very rare, however, they were all gathered here in one place not because of the event but because they were here because of a special guest who was no other than the man sitting in the dark corner.

"It's very rare to see Mr. Cross in this kind of social gathering. This time must have been an exception for Mr. Cross." The man said with a smile on his face. He was the chairman of HB Corps Simon Davis. Both the HB Corps and Cross Enterprise have been business partners for the past 5 years.

"However, I'm glad that I could see Mr.Cross here today."Getting no response, he became more anxious thinking Damien was offended by his words. He quickly beckoned for a pretty lady in a tight black body con dress a few meters away to come over.

"Mr. Cross, please enjoy this little gift from me. I made sure to prepare the very best for you." He glanced at Damien and smiled.

The lady in the black dress was exceptionally beautiful but it was all thanks to the heavy makeup and bright red lipstick. The black dress hugged and outlined her body perfectly, showing her curvy hips and big breast. There wasn't a man who sees her that wouldn't definitely allow her to serve him. However, Damien didn't look at her, he just frowned in disgust and irritation when he heard Simon.

"It isn't needed." His deep voice sounded as he refused before the girl could near him.

The girl froze in place when she heard Damien's straight forward refusal. She could only plaster a forced smile on her face and stood beside Simon.

"Chairman Davis, I've been hearing some rumors and I don't think it's wise enough of your younger sister to go around pretending to be my fiancée. I have no fiancee and neither have I ever met your sister or plan to. If you can't clear the thoughts of her mind, you can consider our contract being terminated as a special gift." Damien stated in a stern and affirmative tone with an indifferent expression.

Simon was dumbfounded by Damien's words. Since when did his younger sister start spreading such rumors and he did not know about it. He needs to have a long conversation with her when he gets home. He can't allow her to use her foolishness to ruin his life.

"I…… I…. I… I didn't know my younger sister did such a thing. However, don't worry, Mr. Cross. I'll definitely talk to my sister and make sure to clear up all such rumors. You don't have to go that far to terminate our contract." Simon hurriedly remark.

" I hope you do bid on it. Now, if you would excuse me." Damien nodded his head and stood up from his seat and headed out of the private room to the men's room.

After Damien left, the girl in black dress took her seat next to Simon, folding her arms in front of her chest.

" What was the meaning of what happened earlier, Simon? You said if I dolled up and look pretty, that Mr. Cross would definitely court me? He didn't even spare me a glance!" She spoke angrily, feeling agitated by how she was treated by Damien.

He wiped aways the sweat that had formed on his forehead when he heard that Damien wants to terminate the contract but knowing that he still had a chance, he was relieved and turned to look at the girl.

"Kira dear, I already have a plan. Besides, no man can ever withstand your charm and skills, not even me. That's why I chose you because you're perfect for this job." Simon whispered as he leaned forward and planted a kiss on Kira's cheeks.

Blushing in embarrassment, Kira gently pushed his face." Stop it, this place is an open place and beside right now I'm only for Mr. Cross " She said.

"What, do you think I'd be going through this stress to get you hooked up with Mr. Cross without you returning the favor." He remarked as his hand gently caressed Kira's exposed leg sliding his hand inside her gown but Kira immediately slapped his hand away.

"You really have to stop this, Simon. Mr. Cross didn't even look at me. Who knows if the rumors about him liking men was true. He is always going around with that handsome looking secretary of his." Kira remarked, she couldn't believe that Damien didn't even feel attracted to her. It affected her feminine charm.

"And if Mr. Cross comes back with you doing this, it would surely ruin everything. I'll definitely make sure to return the favor later, if you can get me hooked with Mr. Cross." Just as she finished speaking, Damien returned from the restroom.

Seeing that Damien still didn't spare her a glance as he took his seat, she pouted her lips and she lowered her voice.

"What and how do you plan to get me together with Mr. Cross?" she questioned.

Simon was a little annoyed that Kira stopped him earlier, but when he heard her question, a smirk formed on his face.

"You have to seduce him." Simon said.

"Excuse me, what was I trying to do earlier? Is that really your plan?" Kira inquired, confused by what Simon meant.

Simon chuckled when he saw the confusion on Kira's face. "From the information that I've gathered, Mr. Cross would be spending the night here. Later, I'll drug his drink with two doses of aphrodisiac. Once the gathering is over, you can just make your way to his room and the rest is on how you seduce him. There would be no way he would be able to resist you once the drugs take effect." Simon explained to Kira with a grin on his face.

Kira grinned from ear to ear, hearing Simon's plan."I knew you figured out a brilliant plan but can't you make the doses three?" she asked, feeling excited about the plan.

"Unless, you wish to handle the consequences if something happens to him?" Simon replied.

"Fine." They kept talking about their perfect plan but neither of them stopped to think of the consequences.

Damien Cross, wasn't just the CEO of the Cross Enterprise. He was a man that even the government wouldn't dare to offend, not even the leaders of the underworld wanted to get on his bad side. No one dared to plot against him and ever get away. Those that did are longer living.

Meanwhile, at the club on the first floor. Eva was still seated at the bar counter and completely drunk as she had already finished two bottles of alcohol and was on her third bottle which was about to finish.

The bartender who had been watching her from the sideline walked up to her when he saw pouring the remaining drink in the bottle to fill her glass cup. "Miss, I think you should go home now. You're too drunk or do you have someone who can come pick you up?" He said as he cleared the bottles in front of Eva.

"Home?" Eva repeated. She also wanted to go home. She wanted to sleep in her soft and comfortable king-size bed. Tonight was supposed to be her wedding night which she was supposed to share with her lovely husband. However, it was just wishful thinking.

"How pathetic!" Eva muttered and downed the rest of the drink in her glass. To think the night of her wedding day would be spent at a hotel…. Well, at least it was a five-star hotel and a very famous one.

"You," Eva waved to the bartender to come over. Because of her high tolerance in alcohol, the alcohol had yet to take over her body as she was left with a little bit of sanity. She knew it was dangerous to leave this place in her current state so she decided to spend the night here, it wasn't like anyone would look for her anyway.

"Yes, how can I help you, Miss?" The bartender asked as he glanced at Eva. He wondered what a beautiful lady like her was doing in such a place, all drunk. Eva might have not noticed but just sitting alone at the bar counter had drawn much attention to her.

"Where can I get a room in this hotel?" Eva asked.

The bartender could tell that it was obviously her first time coming to this place, so he wasn't surprised if she didn't know where to get a room. "Miss, you have to take an elevator to the second floor where the main lobby is." He replied while pointing towards the direction of the elevator.

"Second floor. Okay thanks." Eva opened her purse and paid the bill of her drink before hopping off her seat and stumbled her way to the elevator.

When the elevator, Eva stepped out of it. As expected, the lobby of the hotel was quite spacious and big. The flooring was beautiful and the beautiful chandeliers hung up. Surprisingly, the loud music from the club on the first floor couldn't be heard thanks to the soundproof.

Eva made her way to the receptionist table, stumbling a little bit as she walked.

"Welcome, Miss, to Grand land hotel. How may I help you?" Immediately the receptionist saw Eva walking towards her, she stood up from her seat and greeted professionally with a smile on her face.

"I need a room. And it should be a very comfortable room with a king-size bed." Eva inquired as she leaned against the receptionist table.

"If Miss requires such a room, then our VIP room can meet up with Miss requirements." The receptionist replied, completely understanding what Eva meant even though she didn't explain.

"VIP? That would do. Give me a room then." Eva said.

"Then, I would request for the Miss ID card?" The receptionist said.

Eva opened her purse and gave both ID and credit card to the receptionist.

After a few minutes, "Here you go, Miss. Your room keycard." The receptionist respectfully handed back Eva's credit card and the hotel keycard to her room.

"Your room is situated on the 65th floor." Eva collected her ID and the hotel keycard to her room before walking away.

Entering the elevator, Eva stumbled for a quick second. She steadied herself and pressed the button for the 65th floor.

Inside the elevator, she felt her body temperature rising drastically. It felt like she was being soaked in a hot spring.

The effect of the alcohol was already taking its final hit on her as she was slightly dizzy. Throughout the elevator ride, Eva constantly fanned herself with her keycard which wasn't sufficient.

*Ding*

The elevator door opened, revealing a long light brown hallway that was brightly lit. Eva stepped out of the elevator and fidget with her steps to find her designated room number.

She felt as if thousands of ants were crawling on her body. "I just need a nice warm bath and change out of this forsaken dress." Eva muttered.

Arriving at the end of the hallway still not finding her room. There were only two doors across from each other. Eva looked at the door on her right, then the door to her left. Since her vision was blurry, she had to squint her eyes in order to focus and see the number written on top. "Rumm….3…35…05." She lifted her hand to scan the keycard to confirm if it was the same number.

*creak*

Oblivious to her surroundings, Eva wasn't aware of the sound of another door opening abruptly behind her. Before she could notice a pair of hands grabbed her by the shoulders.

"Miss, I'm really sorry for this!!"

Eva was suddenly shoved into the room across from her room followed by the door slammed shut. Inside the room, Eva was immediately grabbed by another pair of strong hands.

These hands that grabbed her were more fiercer than the one that grabbed at first.

"What…." Before she could react, she was suddenly pushed on the hotel soft bed.

"Ahhhh!!" Eva yelped loudly with her mind in a complete mess due to the alcohol.

"What is going on mm…" She was unable to finish her words when a shadow toppled over her and she felt something soft abruptly covered her lips which made her body froze on the spot.

Eva mustered her strength and tried to push and hit whoever it was away, but all her efforts were to no avail. She tried her best until she lost all energy and her body became so weak.

"I need your help for tonight." A man's deep voice growled near her ear.

Even though she was in a messy state of mind. Eva tried to struggle again because knew what was going on and also knew this was totally wrong.

"No…. Stop…..I can't help…." Yet again, she was forced to swallow back her words when those lips crashed against hers.

"Stop…. I don't want this." No matter how hard she tried to refuse, at the same time, she didn't know what was wrong with her body nor did she have the slightest clue about who this person was.

However, at the same moment her body was hot each time she felt his cold hand brush against her skin, her body would react in a way that made her want him too.

Just as the thought came across her mind, the person above her freed her lips and whispered into her ears. "Be good."

Eva didn't know what came over her, it was as if she was enchanted by his words. Immediately those words escaped his word, her body felt weak and she lost her complete self.

The next morning, the sun was just peeking in the sky, slowly brightening up the whole city. Eva was sleeping soundly on a soft king-size bed in a hotel room.

Eva let out a soft groan in pain as she groggily blinked her eyelid. 'Ughhh!!....Why do I feel so weak?'She felt like a person who had been specially graced and honored with the biggest hangover.

She felt mouth was dry as she clutched her head which was throbbing in pain with her hand. Eva tried to open her eyes but due to the faint light from the rising sun outside that had shined through the small gap in the curtain which brightened up the darkroom. Eva had to close her eyes back and blinked a few times to adjust to the brightness.

Staring at the unfamiliar ceiling, and taking a proper glance at the room. It was spacious, the walls were painted in white giving the room a bright ambience. It was decorated with various expensive modern furnitures giving the whole room a cozy and homey atmosphere.

Eva could tell that this was a hotel room despite the homey vibe it gave off but this made her crease her brows together because she had no memories walking into this room last night.

'Where am l? What happened last night?' She recalled herself getting extremely drunk at the club. Then…. that's right. She was told to go to the second floor and booked a room. Was this her room?

Eva lifted her body upward to sit up but suddenly a hiss escaped out of her as she felt an intense amount of pain in her entire body. Even her lower place was aching in pain….a lot.

Still managing to force herself to sit up, she hissed out. 'Argh!! It hurt like hell! Just what the hell happened to me!! Eh?! What is this-' Eva stopped her thought as her body went stiff when she realized that something heavy draped over her waist. She slowly turned her head and was horrified by the sight she saw next.

"Eeekk!!" She quickly covered her mouth in order to stop herself from screaming.

'OH! MY! GOD!!!!!!! A man!!!! What is a man doing lying beside me?!!!' Although the blankets covered his body from his waist downward. With common sense she could still tell that he was naked underneath the bed cover because one of the man's legs was also on top of hers.

The instant Eva saw this sight, her face was derived from all colors and turned white. The corner of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.

'W-ho is this man?' Her heart began to panic. Eva closed her eyes as she tried to recall how things led to this situation.

'Think, think, very hard, Eva! Just what the heck happened last night? Did you get so drunk that you went wild and brought a man into your hotel room?' As she thought hard to remember what happened, images of last night slowly flooded back into her brain.

She remembered drinking three bottles of alcohol, booking a room, entering the elevator, being grabbed by an unknown person when she was about to enter her hotel room….and then…..and then….

"Be good." A deep masculine voice resounded in her head. Eva's eyes popped open as she screamed internally, the entire night till morning….she and him…

'Somehow he has a charming voice. No, wait, who cares about his voice. The most important thing is, I just had a….a one night stand with a complete stranger.'

The colors on her face turned even paler as she turned to glance at the man sleeping beside her.

'Damn it!!!' Eva inwardly let out a curse. Remembering everything that happened last night, her mind was in total chaos at the moment. Lifting her hand and clutched her head tightly, who knew she was going to spend her wedding night with a stranger.

She lifted the bedsheet again to sneak a peek at her naked body once again, and she was completely baffled by the many visible bite marks. The constant throbbing pain in her body made her wonder how many times they did it last night. She was too drunk to remember.

'Evangeline!! How could you be this stupid and careless?!! Aahhhhhh!!!!' Eva screamed crazily on the top of her lungs in her mind as she continued berating herself, feeling a little disappointed.

It was her first and she had to lost her virginity to a man. And most of all, she thought her first would be memorable, doing it with the man she loved. However, she couldn't even remember how the whole night of her first time happened

Eva stopped rampaging in her mind when she felt an intense stare from her side.

"You're awake?" A deep voice sounded near her. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard his voice. She robotically turned her head toward his direction.

Deep dark eyes that were shining brightly like a glistering universe, yet they were gazing at her intensely.

Despite the cold and aloof facial expressions, Eva went frozen as she couldn't help but be captivated and stare at those dark eyes that looked like they were seeing through one's soul.

Eva felt suffocated for some unknown reasons as they stared at each other without blinking.

"Arghhh!!" Eva yelped. Without a warning, the man's hand that was still wrapped around her waist pulled her closer to him, making her fall back onto the bed and came face to face with him.

Eva was startled and tried to push the man away, but he had her sealed tightly between his embrace.

Seeing that her effort was useless, she took a deep breath trying to calm herself down. "Mister, can you let go of me. I don't want you to get the wrong idea but what happened between you and I last night was only a one-night stand…..so if you don't mind let both pretend none of this ever happened." Eva remarked. She can remember back then from her friends that a lot of people had one-night stands and there were no strings attached to it. Since this was exactly like their situation, she was hoping that the man would be understanding of what she meant.

"Who said this was a one-night stand?" Hearing the man's deep cold words, Eva was stunned.

'Haha…Eva, what in the world have you gotten yourself into?!!!' Eva struggled again but his right hand held her in place, his sharp gaze boring deeply into hers almost like a vicious glare.

Eva gulped then furrowed her brows as she thought about his words. "What do you mean? Isn't this…." Eva was unable to finish her words, as he cut her off mid-sentence with a low growl.

"I said this isn't a one-night stand. And you have to take responsibility."
