Two days before Lotus’s wedding with Dylan, Lotus caught Dylan in bed with Aubree, Lotus’s childhood best friend.

Filled with fury, Lotus canceled her wedding and angrily released the cheating duo’s s*x video in the wedding hall, shocking everyone

Who knew that Dylan would be shameless and go on with marrying Aubree instead of apologizing? As if that wasn't enough, Dylan demanded to cancel his investment in the Meyer company unless Lotus became his mistress

In a bid to seek escape from her selfish father and Dylan, Lotus ended up running into a high-end club where she ended up with a spiked dream.

The next morning, Lotus woke up to a fierce kick that sent her tumbling down the bed. It turns out she had slept with the richest billionaire genius in the country.

What will Lotus do when she finds out that the billionaire is averse to female touch? And he's hellbent on kicking her out?

Follow The Car

"I'm back in the country, Aubree." Lotus excitedly revealed to the person at the other end of the phone while pulling her luggage behind her as she walked out of the airport.

Lotus's eyes lit up when she saw the taxi she called earlier drive into the airport. After such a long flight, Lotus felt so tired due to jet lag, and the last thing she wanted was to get delayed by the taxi.

She waved at the taxi, and the taxi slowly drove to a stop next to her.

"Ahhh!" Upon hearing Lotus’ words, Aubree shrieked at the top of her lungs in excitement. "Lotus, why didn't you let me know? I would've picked you up from the airport. I've missed you a lot." Aubree chided with a pout.

Lotus smiled and got into the taxi. "Why miss? Didn't I leave the country just a few days ago? Moreover, it won't be a surprise if I let everyone know the bride is back so soon." She replied and neatly dumped her luggage next to her.

"I agree." Aubree giggled and suddenly said it craftily. "Then. You're visiting my place first, right?"

"No, I'm almost at the company. I have to submit some documents and complete all the workload before the wedding. You know Luke and I are traveling for our honeymoon." Lotus explained.

She paused and stared at her wristwatch. "It's 12:34 a.m.; I should be there in the evening."

Aubree beamed. "Okay. I'll prepare your favorite meal and hold a feast for the both of us to say a proper goodbye."

Upon hearing the mention of her favorite meal, Lotus's eyes lit up, and her face brightened in joy. "Alright. You're the best."

Lotus was yet to complete her words when she saw two familiar figures walking close to a familiar car. The male's hand was wrapped around the lady's shoulder while the woman held a phone in her hand, the phone closed to her ear.

Seeing the car's verification plate, Lotus's eyes widened. The car belonged to Dylan, her husband-to-be, in two days. And the woman is...

What are the two doing together at Dylan’s five-star restaurant? Were the two holding a surprise for her? But she planned to make her arrival a surprise to Dylan; doesn't that mean it's no longer a surprise?

Before Lotus could make up her mind, Aubree suddenly smiled, as if Dylan had just said something funny.

Before Lotus could process, Aubree and Dylan kissed each other's lips softly before quickly parting ways.

Lotus froze, and her face paled as if she had just been dealt a huge blow. Her heart began to race, and her body trembled.

How can it be? How can her boyfriend and her best friend...

Filled with shock, Lotus slowly lowered the phone, and she discovered that Aubree had cut off the call a few seconds ago. She didn't even know when!

Aubree and Dylan smiled at each other. They held each other's hands before they both entered the car; the car immediately drove out of the famous 5-star restaurant belonging to Dylan's family.

Lotus froze in shock at the scene, unable to extricate herself from what she saw. She had been talking to Aubree all this time, but it turns out... She trembled

Since when have the two gotten together?

"Follow the car." Lotus suddenly ordered in a shaky voice. Her eyes pooled with tears.

"Miss?" The taxi driver turned towards Lotus in shock. He had been listening to music all along, so he had not been paying attention to her.

"I said follow that damn car. If we lose sight of it, I promise not to let you go." She bellowed in a shaky voice, causing the poor taxi driver to almost jump in fear.

The taxi driver silently muttered a curse, wondering what sort of passenger he had just carried. However, he pushed the thought away, knowing money had to be made.

"Al. Alright, miss." The taxi driver replied with a stutter and quickly began to follow the car.

The tears in Lotus's eyes slipped past her cheeks, and she covered her face in sadness and pain.

For years, she trusted Aubree and she loved Dylan, but what she never expected was that two of the most important people to her would hurt her like this. Why? Just why?

Soon, the path became familiar, and her body shook.

Surprisingly, the two were driving to their matrimonial home—the home Lotus and Dylan planned to live in after their wedding.

Lotus balled her fist hard. It can't be that the two were having their love session there, can it? Since when?

At the realization, Lotus's heart tightened due to raw pain.

Suddenly, Lotus raised her face to clean up the tears running through her cheeks. She took a deep breath and stared out of the window.

"Stop," she suddenly ordered the taxi driver.

"Make a turn towards that corner and stop; I have to get something," she declared, and the driver quickly obeyed.

A few minutes later, the car continued to make its way towards Lotus and Dylan’s matrimonial home.

"I'll be right back." Upon arriving at the apartment, Lotus told the driver and alighted the car with a purse and a small box in her shaky hands.

Her feet were shaky, and her heart raced with every step that she took towards the apartment. The apartment that she had always looked forward to became something she dreaded.

Dylan had bought an apartment in one of the expensive estates for their wedding because of her, but it...

Tears slipped past Lotus' eyes at the thought of what she seemed to be about to face, but she continued firmly and steadily. Her hands shook as she slowly and gently opened the apartment door with her keys.

"Ah! Dylan faster. Yes, harder. No. No. I can't take it anymore. Stop it; you're getting too fast." Aubree's coquettish moan at Dylan's actions invaded Lotus’ ear.

Lotus froze, and her pale face turned white as if it had been completely drained of blood.

"Naughty girl saying that yet still meeting my pace," Dylan muttered in a deep voice filled with passion and thrust fiercely into Aubree, making her cry loudly.

A tear spilled past Lotus' eyes, and she clenched her fist, her body trembling.

On her matrimonial bed and matrimonial room to be, the two cheaters were currently having sex without a care for the world. Why?

Lotus really wanted to shake them and asked them why.

Never in her life did she expect that her boyfriend and her best friend would indulge in such a shameful act in her matrimonial home a few days before her wedding. To think that she had just talked to Aubree a few seconds ago!

Lotus had always believed that her life was the perfect fairytale. She had her family, she had a close friend, and she had a husband who would love her throughout their whole lives, but...

Aubree grabbed Dylan hard and threw her head back. "You. I'll miss you."

"Naughty girl, what are you saying? Even after the marriage, I won't leave you for her. I love you too much to live without you, darling. We both know that's the reason I bought this apartment. Soon, I'll buy one for you; you'll move in." Dylan confessed and kissed Aubree, his words striking a deep and heavy blow to Lotus.

"I know you loved me the most." Aubree giggled coquettishly and wrapped her hand around his neck. "I love you also. Ah, that naive Lotus still believes in the fairy tale that it's only you and her, but she didn't expect that you'd always be mine, right? Dylan, who owned you?"

"It's you, darling. Even till the end of the world, I'm yours, and you're mine." He replied and increased the pace, making Aubree cry coquettishly.

Lotus took steps back in shock, her face pale as a sheet and her eyes reddened with tears. So that's what they both thought of her all this time: naive. Her mind was completely blown away.

A few minutes ago, Lotus was happy that her life was almost complete, but now her life seems to have been turned upside down. Her face was completely drained of blood.

The man she had been in love with and her childhood friend. Why? If they had any issues, why not simply tell her? Why do they have to do such things that hurt a lot?

Suddenly, Lotus's expression changed, and she took a deep breath. Since the two wanted to be together so badly, she would help them fulfil their request.

Thinking like this, she fixed the minuscule CCTV camera in her hand to a vase that was placed on a stand.

She unlocked her phone and tapped on a few settings, and soon the scene of the couple's infidelity in the room began to play on her phone.

Lotus's heart continued to drip with blood with every second that she watched the video. After about thirty seconds or so, she felt herself drained of strength. Without knowing how, Lotus walked out of the apartment and got into the taxi.

_________

"Lotus, you didn't visit my apartment last night. I waited for you throughout the whole night after cooking, and I called your number the whole night, but you didn't pick up. I was so worried." Aubree's thin and caring voice gently drifted into Lotus's ears from the other end of the phone.

Lotus's lips rose in a mocking smile, and her bloodshot eyes narrowed. So worried enough to fuck my boyfriend, your friend, all day? Lotus thought, her fist clenched in hatred and disdain.

Hearing no voice from the other end of the phone made Aubree surprised. "Lotus, are you still there?" She asked.

Lotus faked a groan. "I'm. Just tired." She suppressed the hatred in her tone and calmly replied.

Hearing Lotus's voice, Aubree sighed and chided her in feigned worry. "That's why I told you not to go on a business trip a few days before your wedding. Tomorrow is your wedding; how will you be a tired bride?"

"Stop nagging. I'll recover before tomorrow." Hearing Aubree continuously feign worry made Lotus annoyed so much that she couldn't help but coldly retort.

Aubree was taken aback for a few seconds by Lotus's tone, but recalling what Lotus had just gone through, she believes that Lotus's tone must have been a result of tiredness.

She pushed her conflicting emotions away. "Well. Well. Whatever you said." Aubree alluded in agreement. She suddenly smiled coyly and asked in a feigned mischievous tone. "So, have you spoken to Dylan yet?" She inquired in a feignedly curious tone.

Lotus's face turned cold immediately. Weren't the two all yummy together? What did Aubree mean? If Lotus had spoken to Dylan, wouldn't Aubree know? Lotus clenched her fist in hatred.

Back then, she had always told Aubree everything about her relationship without knowing that Aubree was the housewrecker. Lotus has never seen someone so shameless before.

She took a deep breath to hide her contempt, and she casually replied, "No. It's still a surprise. Moreover, what's there to talk about? We will meet each other and officially become husband and wife tomorrow." Lotus purposely flaunted to Aubree's ears.

Aubree froze, and her gaze became unnatural. "Yes. Yes. You're. You're right. I have something to do. bye." Aubree stuttered. Her expression changed, and she quietly gnashed her teeth in hatred.

"Bye," Lotus casually said, and she cut off the call with a wicked smirk donning her face.

You’ll Be My Bride

Soft piano music pervaded the expensive and beautiful white hall of L&L, one of the top 40 most expensive halls in USA.

Laying on the seat were famous and wealthy figures in the business industry.

"Let the bride in." The MC, one of the most famous stars in the country, suddenly announced

Upon hearing the words, a handsome smile that stole the young ladies hearts appeared on Dylan's face.

Dylan rubbed his hands anxiously and neatly arranged his hair as if he didn't want his bride to see any part of him mismatched.

Aubree clenched the handkerchief in her hand in hatred, her finger dipping into her palm. Why should it be Lotus? Just why? Why did Lotus have to have it all? Despite sacrificing everything for Dylan, why did he end up marrying Lotus?

Despite the thoughts running through her mind, Aubree tried to fake a calm smile. Just soon. She had been patient all this day; a single misstep wouldn't ruin her handiwork.

The doorknob was suddenly pulled from outside, causing all the guests, including Dylan, to leap to their throats. Lotus had always been impeccably beautiful; they knew that today, being her day, Lotus would be exceptionally beautiful. All the guests could picture it.

The door was suddenly pushed in, and everyone gasped. Mr. Meyer and Mrs. Meyer stood up in shock. Why did Lotus come in without her wedding dress?

However, despite all the gaze running through her, Lotus leisurely strode in as if she were walking in her garden rather than on the red carpet of her wedding. "It's so lively here today." Lotus suddenly commented with a chuckle while making her way towards Dylan.

Dylan's brows furrowed, and he stared at her in confusion. "Lotus, what are you doing? Why aren't you in your wedding gown?" He inquires in confusion.

"Wedding gown? Why do I need it?" Lotus tilted her head and purposely knitted her brows, feigning confusion. Suddenly, her gaze fell towards the screen in a part of the hall, and she slowly raised her hand to point at it.

Although she had tried to adjust her emotions, the thought of how she had been played by those two for years stabbed her heart extremely. She took a deep breath and said in a shaky voice, "There."

Everyone turned to look at each other in bewilderment. "There?"

Dylan's lips parted in confusion. After the entrance of the bride, the memories of the couple will begin to play on the screen, which wasn't a big deal. So what's wrong?

Coincidentally, after Lotus's actions, the screen lit up in the hall.

However, before Dylan could say a word, a familiar voice and image appeared in his vision. "Dylan. Ah. There. Yes."

Upon seeing the blurred naked self of Aubree and him indulging in carnal pleasure on the bed two days before on the screen, Dylan's eyes widened in shock, but in the next minute, his eyes flashed with fury and embarrassment.

A shocked gasp befell the hall immediately; nobody expecting the sudden turn of events.

"Two days ago, including yesterday, my best friend and husband-to-be spent time indulging in carnal pleasure in my matrimonial home and matrimonial bed. Therefore, I Lotus Meyer refused to get married to Dylan today. Since both of you cheaters love each other so much, I am gifting today to you. Happy married life." Lotus calmly declared to everyone as the if she was reading an essay and not talking about her wedding. But if one took a look at her, one wouldn't fail to see her trembling body and her quivering lips.

'So shameless, aren't they best friends? And Dylan, too. How could the two be so shameless?

Lotus is more beautiful and intelligent than Aubree; how could Dylan be so stupid to cheat on a lady like Lotus?'

‘I have always thought Dylan is an ideal husband; it turns out that this is the type of person he is. So shameless!’

The ridiculing of the guest continuously filled Aubree's ears, making her face pale and her body shake. She sprang up, ran towards the stage, and pointed at the screen, her body trembling. "Turn it off. Turn it off, please. Lotus, please." Aubree cried out, tears streaming down her face rapidly, making one pity her.

Dylan's fist clenched at the sight, and he glared at Lotus before turning towards Aubree. Without hesitation, he strides towards Aubree and engulfs her in a hug. "It's okay. I'm here." He comforted the trembling lady in his arms without caring for anyone.

Aubree broke down in Dylan's hand and shook her head pitifully. "Dylan. Lotus. I'm sorry; it's all my fault. If I hadn't fallen in love with Dylan and seduce him, both of you will..." She paused and burst into louder tears

Dylan's heart clenched, and he glared at Lotus in hatred.

How dare she do this to her best friend? He felt a sense of pity and guilt overwhelm his heart; even though it was both of their fault, Aubree took the blame for his actions, unlike the heartless Lotus.

Dylan planted a kiss on Aubree's forehead and stroked her hair to calm her down. "No. No, darling, it's not your fault. It's that slut's fault. If she didn't want to get married, she could have told us. Rather, she had to set up her friend in such a humiliating way. She's such a cruel and heartless woman with care for none." Dylan looked at Lotus and articulated coldly, not bothering to hide anything.

Lotus's eyes widened, and her face paled immediately. Although the two were in the wrong, she never expected that they would use that chance to display their lovey-dovey and use that to switch things from black to white!

"Well. Since that's what you want, I'll get married to Aubree today." Dylan suddenly declared, causing a loud gasp to befall the hall.

'Did I just hear Dylan promising to marry Aubree? Such a daring couple!

I have never seen such a brazen couple before. However, it's so interesting. Lotus will certainly regret her actions now.

Lotus's eyes fell on Dylan, but he didn't bother to stare at her. His gaze was evasive, as if he were staring at something contemptuous. He sneered coldly. "Not only that, the bridal price I paid as an investment to clear the Meyer company from bankruptcy will be taken back. From now on, Dylan and the Meyer family will have nothing to do with each other. Lastly, the wedding will continue." Dylan coldly pronounced and separated from Aubree.

Right in Lotus and all the guests' faces, Dylan kissed Aubree deeply. "I'll wait for you, Aubree. Go and get prepared; you'll be my bride!" He declared and raised his lips in a pronounced sneer upon seeing Lotus's face pale.

Lotus's lips parted in a gasp, and she trembled in shock. She didn't expect things to end up beyond her power. She expected the revelation to humiliate the two, but she never expected that it'd really help the two get together. "Dy... Dylan...."

"You vile vixen, how dare you?" A disapproving masculine voice suddenly boomed in the hall, interrupting Lotus.

Mr. Meyer pointed towards Lotus in displeasure, his body shaking in anger. "You vile slut, how dare you do something wicked on such a happy day? I knew you were such a heartless daughter; the company is on the brink of bankruptcy, yet you do such a vile deed. Where do you expect the company to get a new investor? Where?" Mr. Meyer chided her loudly, not giving Lotus any face.

Lotus's face paled and her heart clenched. She was extremely shocked that her father would choose to bash her in the presence of everyone rather than support her.

Mr. Meyer cupped his fists towards Dylan fawningly. "Young master Dylan, the Meyer family knew nothing about Lotus' rash actions. Can you look at this old man's face to continue the wedding?" He asked shamelessly.

Lotus's eyes flew wide open, shocked by what she had just heard. Dylan had just cheated on her with her best friend; how can her dad? "Dad..."

"Did she look into our relationship before she humiliated us? I won't be getting married to such a vile woman." Dylan sneered and interjected coldly.

Mr. Meyer's face darkened, and he directed a sharp glare at Lotus before turning towards Dylan respectfully. "Son-in-law, speak whatever conditions of yours to continue this wedding; I'll accept them."

A wicked glint flickered past Dylan's eyes immediately. "On account of your face, it's not a problem to invest in your company." He cleared his throat and pointed at Lotus nonchalantly. "As long as she becomes my mistress, I'll overlook her past mistake and clear the debt." Dylan expressed this, causing everyone to gasp in disbelief.

That's Lotus Meyer. Did Dylan just state that Lotus, one of the most beautiful ladies in the country, became his mistress? How can he?

"You bastard. Don't go too far!" Lotus yelled at Dylan angrily. She had just called Aubree a homewrecker; how dare he attempt to make her one?

Dylan sneered coldly. "Go too far? You pushed me. You keep putting yourself at a high standard all this while; why do you think Aubree and I got together? You don't let me do anything to you. Tell me the man who won't be frustrated." He bellowed coldly.

Lotus's jaw fell wide, as if she couldn't believe that the reason Dylan cheated on her was due to such a nonsensical reason. “I don't kiss or do anything either, and that doesn't make me cheat on you!” She retorted.

Dylan's expression changed at her words, but he quickly waved his hands and assumed an indifferent stance. “Well. My rule is my rule.” Dylan simply stated, and his warning gaze fell on Mr. Meyer.

Mr. Meyer's harsh gaze fell on Lotus, unmoved by the guest’s mocking stare and words. “I'm telling you that we have to get that money. Guards, start packing young Miss Lotus's belongings. I want it to be at young master Dylan's place before the day after tomorrow. She'll be his from now on,” he declared righteously.

A loud gasp befell the hall.

Is Mr. Meyer crazy? That's Lotus, one of the most famous intelligent beauties in the country. How can he make her a mistress because of money?

‘Mr. Meyer's company' is shaking, but I didn't expect that he'd do something so cruel like this. In just a few years, Lotus will become a working woman. How can he give her to Dylan as a mistress after knowing how disgusting Dylan and Aubree are? In the end, Lotus will become a clipped bird.

I've always heard rumors about how Mr. Meyer despised Lotus, and I've always believed it's a lie, but now I realize that it's very true.’

Degrading Mistress

“Dad?” Lotus's eyes widened in shock, disbelief, and anger. It felt as if the temperature had just dropped, making her whole body tremble due to the cold. She couldn't believe that her father would choose to support the enemy's side, despite knowing that Dylan was wrong. Just for his greed. Just for his…

What hadn't Lotus done for Mr. Meyer? Help with the company? Try to be docile and demure despite knowing that she was never his favorite child. Although she had always known that he didn't like her as much as he did with his stepfamily, now she realizes that he doesn't like her at all.

“Elder sister shouldn't have been so rash and posted the video. Marrying brother Dylan is a blessing.” Aster suddenly clung onto Lotus’s hand and whispered in a demure and docile tone, her black eyes shining.

Her face was teary, giving one the urge to console and protect her. If one doesn’t know well, one will think she was the victim.

Lotus's expression turned cold, and she brushed off Aster's hand. A blessing? She scoffed.

Even outsiders knew marrying Dylan was not only degrading but also a disaster; how could her family be the only ones who didn't see it? It's very disgusting. “If it's such a blessing, why don't you marry him?” She retorted coldly, causing the smile on Aster’s face to freeze.

Aster’s eyes turned teary, and her face paled. If one didn't know it, one would think she had been severely punished by Lotus. She twisted her fingers and trembled slightly, panicking. “Elder. Elder sister, I…”

“Enough!” Mr. Meyer's expression changed into a cold one upon seeing Lotus ‘bully’ Aster. "Lotus, don't go too far. You created this mess, and you'll solve it. You've been creating so much mess in the past, but we've always been the ones to clean it up. But starting from now on, you'll clean up your mess.” He declared it righteously.

Shameless. Very shameless. Lotus has never seen such a shameless father before. When had she ever caused a mess? It had always been them creating trouble while she cleaned it up. But for his face, he decided to switch things up. Lotus finally realized how naive and blind she had always been.

Lotus wasn't living in a fairytale at all. Rather, she had always been living a joke.

“Husband, don't scare Lotus too much.” Mrs. Meyer whispered in a soft tone. She reached out and tried to hold Lotus's hand, but the displeased Lotus immediately evaded her hold, making her smile freeze.

She quickly snapped out of it and plastered a gentle smile on her face. “Lotus, you should understand that your father is doing this for the family and the company. You might be annoyed at first, but later you'll realize that your father is only thinking about your future.” She stated.

For her future or his step-family's future? Lotus suddenly felt as if everywhere had turned colder, making her shiver. It was now that she realized that she had no one for her and had been deserted for a long time.

Now she realizes that her shameless family will do anything to make her marry Dylan just for money.

Her eyes turned teary, and her face paled.

Today should've been her wedding day, but she didn't realize that it'd be her day of sadness and she'd have to make a cruel choice instead.

However, for such a disgusting and low man like Dylan, Lotus can't get married to him, and she's determined not to be his mistress either.

Suddenly, an idea flickered through her mind.

Lotus knew she couldn't get married to a man poorer than Dylan, or else her father and Dylan would pressure or bribe him to make him divorce her.

This means that for her to break away from such a nonsensical family and stupid upcoming status, she had to find a richer man to marry before tomorrow!

Thinking like this, she wiped the tears from her eyes.

……..

Late at night, a beautiful slim figure with beautiful but sad eyes, a cute button nose, and shiny plump red lips stepped into the club with a mini bodycon dress, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the club regardless of gender.

Who could the figure be if not for Lotus, one of the most beautiful ladies in the country?

Lotus took a deep breath and steadily made her way towards the bartender.

After leaving the wedding hall and moping around to escape her father's watch, she finally came to a decision, which was to visit a high-end club.

Lotus knew that many of the truly wealthy families and men in the country regularly visited clubs for meetings, and for that reason, she decided to visit the Imperial Club, one of the most famous and high-end clubs, which only houses the particularly wealthy circle in the country. Many of which her father and Dylan's family can't compare to.

Months ago, due to investment poaching, Lotus was able to visit one of the higher-ups of the Imperial Club.

Although the person and Lotus didn't come to an agreement, the person was pleased with her and ended up giving her a membership card as a reward and an apology for her loss.

Lotus, who wasn't a fan of visiting clubs, had casually thrown the card into her bag. Never did she expect that it'd come in handy one day.

“Peach dew,” Lotus muttered to the bartender, and in front of the bartender, her hand tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her exquisite face.

Peach Dew is one of the signature creamy alcoholic blended drinks, famously voted as one of the best blends of strong alcoholic drinks in the country.

Not only does it have the delicious, creamy taste that many ladies want, but it also has the strong ability to make one drunk quickly.

The muscular bartender's face reddened slightly as soon as his gaze landed on Lotus, but he quickly snapped out of it and bowed respectfully. “Yes, Miss.”

Lotus nodded and began to sweep her gaze at the club; blasting and cheerful music, excited dancing bodies, cheers, and noises pervaded the club, but somehow she couldn't feel it. She couldn't hear the happiness; all she could hear were Aubree's words from a few hours ago.

‘I told him to make you his mistress if he didn't want to lose both of us. I'm such a sweet and innocent frail woman; how won't he be moved?

You slut!

So what if I'm a slut? Didn't I still have the last win? I'm the wife of your husband, while you are only a degradable mistress. Tsk, your children will truly despise you for being so stupid.

Why? Aubree, why?

Why? Throughout the years, you've always been on a high cloud while I'm what is deemed low and your shadow. I was so jealous of you having it all, so I made a plan to get closer to Dylan. What right do you have to be one of the most beautiful women in the country? What right do you have to have a Dylan who's wrapped around you? I can't take it, so I'll destroy your happiness first. Finally, I've done it. Have your time playing around for the next two days, because from now on, the high Lotus will be at my beckon. A degrading mistress and homewrecker...’

“Ahhh! That slut!” Lotus suddenly yelled and ran her hand into her hair in anger. Immediately, she slammed an empty glass cup on the club floor, her actions causing everyone to go silent.

Everyone stopped dancing, chatting, or doing whatever they wanted to, and they immediately turned to Lotus due to shock.

Lotus was indifferent to the gazes she received and picked up her peach dew, the shocked bartender just handed it over to her.

Without hesitation, she gulped the drink down and continued to order more.

A few seconds later, a rueful smile appeared on her face. Ever since she arrived, none of the men came to approach her; it must've been due to the events that happened that day.

Were they afraid that asking her out would displease her family and Dylan, or were they afraid that Lotus would someday do the same thing to them once they cheated on her? Or is it because of her shameless father?

Lotus bowed her head tearfully. Was she too forward and cruel? Should she have talked them out? But there's no use crying over spilled milk.

Oh, but she was already crying.

Lotus thought about it and snatched up another drink meant for other customers before pouring it down her throat. Perhaps this was the only chance she had to spend her life as the high Lotus.

After all… Soon, Dylan and her father will find ways to get in and bring her out.

Lotus's heart raced with worry. She wished she was like those FLs. Wasn't it always easy for them to go into clubs and find men immediately? Why is hers different? Why is no one approaching her?

“Ahhh!” Lotus roared and slammed the empty glass on the table. So pathetic! She was so pathetic!

She had always been independent. How could it be that she was the one who needed a man for help?

Continuously, Lotus kept drinking alcohol like water until she lost her sense of reasoning. She suddenly belched and raised her hand.

Seeing the bartender push a blue tequila toward her, Lotus shook her head fiercely as if to signify that she wanted to have no more of the alcohol

The bartender smiled at the beautiful Lotus and picked up the blue tequila toward Lotus. “Here miss. Exclusive and free for you.” He whispered in a soft tone as if he were coaxing a child

Lotus pursed her lips and shook her head fiercely as if to reject the drink

But despite Lotus’ rejection, the bartender kept pushing the drink toward her. “Here. This is better. It’ll make you feel better.” He coaxed

Lotus raised her hand drunkenly and slurred, “Last. Last.” She warned as if she was telling the bartender that after the drink, she didn’t want to be offered another one.

Lotus glared at the bartender but due to her beautiful eyes, it doesn’t make it seem as if Lotus glared at the bartender. Rather it felt as if Lotus was seducing the bartender.

Lotus reluctantly picked up the drink and down it in one gulp.

As if afraid that the bartender would force her to drink another drink, lotus stood up from the chair and began to stagger toward the exit. Her steps were wobbly and she almost fell due to her drunkenness

A waiter stepped forward as if to assist Lotus, “Miss, where do you want to go? I’ll hail a taxi for you.”

Lotus's brows furrowed in confusion but still, she understood two things; She was drunk which meant that getting into a taxi might make it easier for bad men to attack her and she was still running from Dylan and Mr. Meyer

“Not home.” Lotus waved her hand fiercely, the impact almost making her crash on the floor if it weren’t for the waiter’s support. “Private room.”

“Yes, Miss. Room 256.” The waiter conveyed it after a few minutes.

Seeing Lotus's cluelessness, he immediately decided to take her to the room but before he could, he was called by his manager so he had no choice but to hand over the key to Lotus and leave. “Be careful, miss.” The waiter articulated and left

Lotus nodded her head absentmindedly. Using her last reasoning, Lotus began to stagger toward the path that led to her private room

Lotus’ widened eyes were fixated on the number as if she didn’t want to make the mistake of entering another room.

Suddenly, a wave of hotness crashed over Lotus. She trembled and her expression changed immediately. “So hot. Uncomfortable.”

A bizarre change began to take place in Lotus’s body. Her body began to get hotter, and a sense of dizziness and weakness began to surge in her system.

The surroundings began to turn blurry also, making her eyes watered. The door and the rooms seem to turn into two making the drunk Lotus alarm and puzzled

Lotus tilted her head and blinked twice to control the image. Alas! It didn't work. Rather it made her feel worse

Lotus lowered her head, closed her eyes, and massaged her forehead in fluster and bewilderment. Yet, it didn't work.

Immediately, she shook her head slightly to rid herself of the dizziness. Unfortunately, it only made things worse for her.

Her strength continued to diminish with every second that ticked, and her whole system turned hotter, making her extremely uncomfortable.

If not for the bit of rationality Lotus preserved, Lotus would have long ripped her gown off and tossed it somewhere far away

Suddenly, her eyes fell on a number, and she seemed to see it formed the number 256. Without hesitation, Lotus pushed through the door and entered it wanting nothing but to soak in cold water

Before Lotus could take a step forward, a piercing and dangerous stare landed on her body

Before Lotus could blink, the person’s demanding muscular hand wrapped around her waist, which brought her closer to him.

“Stop. Stop.” Lotus wrinkled her nose drunkenly and tried to push the hand that began to run around her skin unrestrainedly all to no avail.

Soon, the hands turned more demanding, and she ended up being tossed about that night until she cried her eyes out and lost her voice before finally fainting.
