Chapter 1

I went through surgery at the hospital 99 times because of my boyfriend's fetish.

He promised to marry me after the 100th round.

I was filled with joy when the final procedure was finished.

This was our 100th round of intimacy, and I wanted to give Chad Simmons an unforgettable night.

I quietly pushed open the doors of our villa. I heard laughter coming from inside the house and my name being mentioned.

It made me pause in my step. "You've got the most high-end social butterfly of the upper social circle wrapped around your little finger, Chad. She's really stupid enough to believe that you'll marry her.

"Will she go mad when she finds out that she isn't your bride half a month from now? Will she get her old lovers to destroy your company?"

Chad took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile, "She would never dare to do something like that. I have videos of her sleeping with 99 men. If she does anything to me, I'll post those videos online and make her famous."

"You're incredible, Chad! She probably has no idea that she slept with a bunch of old men instead of you!" Everyone started heaping praises on how impressive Chad was.

I was stunned. No wonder Chad fed me a glass of milk every time before we slept together.

It was to keep me from resisting.

I tore up my surgery report and turned to leave.

Since I was not his bride, I would make his wishes come true and marry someone else.

It was Sadie Ellis’ 99th time going through hymenoplasty. The doctor could not help asking, "Miss Ellis, is this… for business use?"

Sadie was embarrassed. "It's for pleasure. My boyfriend enjoys it."

She was known as a slut in the upper society circle.

However, she had been dating a younger man for the past five years, and she spent most of her savings on him.

She had even gone through 99 rounds of hymenoplasty at the hospital just to indulge his fetish.

It was all because he had promised to marry her after their 100th round.

Sadie walked home in pain after the procedure.

When she got to the door, she heard laughter from inside the house. It was the laughs of Chad Simmons and his buddies.

"Chad, you're the man! I can’t believe you got the social butterfly. You even convinced her to get under you in bed and willingly go through 99 hymenoplasties. How did you do it? Share your secret with us!"

Chad took a puff of his cigarette and smiled. "There's no secret I can share when she was the one who threw herself at me."

"Sadie is always hanging out at seedy places. I heard she has AIDS. Don't you find her… dirty?" One of Chad's buddies felt unhappy for him.

Chad raised an eyebrow and replied sarcastically, "That's a problem for other men. I've never touched her. I only got her to do those hymenoplasties so I could use her to please those dirty old men who enjoy virgins.

"As for her having AIDS, who knows which old man she got it from? I've been keeping myself chaste. I've never touched her!"

Everyone laughed as they admired Chad for his impressive control over women.

Sadie's expression froze as her bill for the procedure fell to the ground. She could no longer hear anything else.

That explained why Chad would always give her a glass of milk before sleeping with her.

She would fall asleep after finishing the milk.

The next day, she would wake up feeling like her body was falling apart.

Sadie had always thought she was just fulfilling Chad's fetish in bed, but the truth turned out to be something even more horrible. Her knees buckled as the information sank in, and she had to lean against the wall for support.

When they first got together, she had asked Chad if it bothered him that she worked as a hostess in seedy places.

Chad had replied, "All I care about is if you're willing to be my wife."

The voices in the house continued talking.

"Is it true that your wedding is at the end of this month, Chad?"

Chad's eyes narrowed as he replied with a smile, "Yes, it's true, but I won't be attending the wedding. I'll make sure she gets so humiliated that she'll completely cut ties with me.

"Besides, Josie is coming back. It's time for me to get rid of my dirty relationships."

That was a huge blow to Sadie. All she got after five years of loving Chad was him calling their relationship ‘dirty’.

She silently turned around to leave, wandering alone in the streets.

She had gotten into her line of work because her mother needed money to treat a serious illness.

She was always working at seedy places and was known among her clientele for being a good drinker. Most high-ranking businessmen would hire her to liven up the atmosphere at events involving major clients.

Five years ago, she found Chad drunk by the road. He had professed his love for her right then. "I like you. Can we go on a date?"

Chad had looked at her so sincerely that Sadie fell for him right away.

They went on a date and had been together since then.

Even Sadie's friends commented that she was acting more and more like a wife.

Over the past five years, Sadie helped Chad network and gave him the resources to become a new member of the upper social circle.

However, she was the first person Chad got rid of the moment he found success.

Her sacrifices for the past five years were nothing but a joke.

Sadie bawled her eyes out. It took a long time before she finally calmed down.

She wiped away her tears and unblocked a number she had blacklisted for two years.

[I'm getting married on the 30th of this month. Make sure you come by to snatch the bride!]

Chapter 2

Ten seconds after she sent the message, Sadie's phone rang.

She picked it up.

A cool, unrestrained male voice said, "You want me to snatch the bride? Aren't you worried I'll beat the good-for-nothing groom up?"

Sadie replied calmly, "You have the right to reject the offer. I can get someone else to do it.”

The man laughed in anger. There was a chilling tone in his voice. "Don't you dare!"

Sadie pursed her lips. "Just tell me if you're coming."

The man was silent for a long time.

It took him so long to answer that Sadie was about to hang up, thinking he was refusing her.

He suddenly spoke up, "I promised to let you go, Sadie, but you just had to come knocking on my door again. This time, you've lost the right to put a stop to this." The man's voice was husky.

Sadie nodded but realized he could not see her. She said, "I know."

"Ha!" the man exclaimed. He was curious. "Aren't you madly in love with him? You rejected me because of him and blocked my number. You even went as far as to set up a bet to force me out of Seaport. What happened? Did you get dumped?"

Sadie replied honestly, "Yes, I did. I was too blind to tell the difference between a man and a bastard."

The man was standing in front of French windows, looking out at the view from a random villa in Capitol City. He had a mysterious smile on his face.

"Remove me from your blacklist. And give me your address!"

"All right."

"Remember that I never make a losing deal."

"All right."

Sadie wandered aimlessly on the street after hanging up.

That man was the renowned Blake Walker of Seaport.

He appeared out of nowhere in Seaport five years ago. Government officials accompanied him wherever he went, and he had invested 30 billion to merge several large and medium-sized enterprises.

Blake changed the business world of Seaport with his capabilities, completely reshuffling its upper social circle.

He was known to be ruthless, and many business bigwigs still trembled with fear at the mention of his name, but there was nothing they could do about him.

Even the car his bodyguard drove was highly recognizable.

No one knew why someone so powerful from Capitol City set his sights on a small city like Seaport.

It was a mystery how he suddenly vanished overnight, right after he bought out half of Seaport two years ago.

However, the extent of his unscrupulous nature was such that even now, when Sadie needed to ask him for a favor, it made her grind her teeth in frustration.

Sadie spent the entire day out and only returned in the evening.

Chad immediately brought her a pair of house slippers when she walked through the door. He helped her put them on.

That was the reason some women preferred dating younger men.

He would help her put on a clean pair of house slippers when she came home and prepare hangover remedies for her when she drank too much.

Chad would quietly clean up after her whenever she drank too much and threw up everywhere.

If Sadie had not heard his conversation with his buddies, she would never have believed that he left her to be ravaged by other men all night, allowing them to leave love bites all over her.

Chad helped Sadie put on the slippers and asked carefully, "I found the bill for your hymenoplasty outside the door this afternoon. Did you come back earlier today?"

Sadie replied coolly, "I did, but I left because I had something to attend to."

Alarm flashed in Chad's eyes. He asked, "Did you see my friends when you came back this afternoon? They were looking forward to seeing you."

Sadie shook her head. "I left before coming inside. I had no idea we had company."

Chad was relieved when he heard her answer. He smiled sincerely. "I'll make sure to let you know the next time they visit."

Sadie glanced at him and said pointedly, "I'll get to meet them during the wedding."

Chad did not reply. He wanted to hug her like he usually did, but she dodged him.

"I just came home. I haven't taken my bath yet."

"That doesn't matter. You won't ever be dirty to me," Chad said while putting his hands over her shoulders. They walked to the dining room.

Another woman was seated at the table.

She was about Sadie’s age, and she looked adorable and innocent.

Chad pointed at her and introduced the woman. "This is my friend, Josie Moore.

"My company is about to get listed, which means I'll be getting busier. You're always skimping on food and never have proper meals, so I’m getting this foodie to accompany you for meals."

Sadie's eyes lowered. Josie Moore? This must be the Josie he was talking about with his buddies.

Chad was always using Sadie’s love for him to manipulate her into agreeing to all his requests.

Sadie never expected Chad to go as far as to bring Josie into their home.

When Sadie remained silent, Josie came over and pulled out a chair for Sadie, sticking her tongue out playfully. "Please have a seat, Sadie. Don't worry. Chad and I are only friends. If it upsets you that Chad's buddy is being a third wheel, I'm fine to leave."

Chapter 3

Sadie looked at Josie seriously.

Chad looked nervous.

When Sadie realized this, she smiled. "Of course I don't mind. Feel free to make yourself at home."

"I made dinner, Sadie. I know you're on a diet right now, so I made a diet meal specially for you," Josie said.

Chad pulled Sadie into a seat. "Look at how thoughtful Josie is. She even prepared a diet meal for you.

"By the way, I'm planning to hire Josie as my secretary. It would be convenient for us to go to work and come back together. You wouldn't mind it, would you, Sadie?"

Sadie sneered in her heart. Chad did not even bother to make up a good excuse.

"Do whatever you want," she replied coldly.

Chad was so engrossed in his happiness over Josie returning to the country that he did not notice Sadie’s change in behavior.

Josie served the table with dishes, placing them in front of Chad and herself. After serving everything, she plopped a salad bowl in front of Sadie.

She made it sound like it was a considerate act on her part. "This is the diet meal I made for you, Sadie. These are all green, leafy vegetables. They're good for you."

Josie proceeded to place more food onto Chad's plate, ignoring the look on Sadie's face.

"I made these dishes specially for you, Chad. Give them a try!"

After that, she said to Sadie, "Don't be shy, Sadie. Eat up!"

Her words sounded sarcastic to Sadie. Josie had taken over her own home so confidently and brazenly.

Josie's so-called ‘diet meal’ consisted only of a few vegetable leaves that were not even cleaned properly. The leaves still had dirt on them.

Sadie put down her fork. "Where did you learn to make this diet meal? You've really saved a lot of time on it."

Josie's eyes turned red. She said quietly, "I'm so sorry, Sadie. Please don't be mad. I just made it just like everyone does.

"I checked with Chad, and he said you enjoyed a good salad. I bought this specially for you. If you don't like it, it's fine. I'll make a new meal for you. I'll be sure to make something you're happy with."

Chad started to frown. He looked at Sadie unhappily. "Josie didn't do it on purpose, Sadie. She's not a nanny who is here to cook for us. It's not nice of you to accuse her like this.

"Just apologize to Josie, and we'll let bygones be bygones."

Sadie looked grimly at Chad.

Why had she never noticed Chad being so blind and brainless before?

She did not want to continue acting with them, so she glanced coldly at Josie. "You can leave if you feel upset about this."

With that, Sadie returned to her room.

Chad had no idea why he was feeling a little at a loss when Sadie left.

Josie immediately had other ideas. She sat brazenly in Chad's lap while her hands moved slowly down his abdomen.

"You're going to leave that old woman at the altar on your wedding day, right, Chad?"

Chad took some time to take her words in before promising, "Yes, I will."

Little did they know, Sadie had heard everything when she walked out to get some water.

She was holding one half of a couple's cup when she saw the scene. She flung it into the garbage bin.

Sadie had rejected all invites out that night as she had heard that AIDS patients should not drink. She locked herself in her room and went to sleep.

That evening, Chad came to Sadie's room.

"That was rude of me tonight, Sadie. I shouldn't have made you apologize to Josie. I'm sorry."

Sadie sighed when she heard his apology. Chad was good at acting according to the situation.

When Sadie did not reply, Chad turned on the room's lights.

She was forced to open her eyes. The first thing she saw was the hickies on his neck.

Sadie looked away. "I'm not mad at you. I'm just a little tired. You should sleep in the guest room for now."

Chad started to notice the change in Sadie.

"Are you upset, Sadie? You've been really cold to me today."
