Introduction

"Be mine." On their first meeting, he forced her to be his lover. "Once I've earned enough money, I'll leave. Goodbye." She walked away gracefully with her burden. The demon Mafia king spread the word worldwide: "There is no way for you to escape." This was a game of conquest and counter-conquest, whoever fell in love first would lose, and she couldn't afford the price. The only thing she could hold onto was her own heart

Chapter 1

In the deserted outskirts, near a forest by the lakeside, there echoed a strange and urgent moaning, carrying an ambiguous air, even in the wind...

"Um... Mr. Lombardi, is there a role for Coco in the your company’s next film?"

"Depends on your performance."

"Well, um..."

By the lake, a seductive red convertible Ferrari was swaying violently, while a barely dressed woman was giving it her all.

Snow-white skin, an exquisite figure, an astonishing D-cups, and perfect measurements.

In the warm light, she closed her eyes, pleasing the man with her movements, and enjoying the pleasure brought on by theis passionate encounter. Her moans were becoming more enticing, filling the air with a sense of ambiguityexcitement.

Compared to the woman, the man was neatly dressed, with in a clean shirt withand not a single wrinkle. He even wore a pair of sunglasses, giving off the impression of a self-driving tourist.

Tsk tsk, with this appearance, how could anyone guess what he was actually doing...

Lilian Scott, hiding in the woods, sighed repeatedly, raising her DSLR camera a few times, only to put it down again.

Oh well, this man is just a supporting character anyway.

She zoomed in with her lens, focusing on the enthusiastic woman straddling the man, capturing both photos and videos, of the tryst.

I never thought I would be able to secretly capture such an explosive scene today!

This woman, panting non-stop, was none other than the popular star, Coco Monroe...

‘【From Lady to Slut, Coco Monroe's Scandalous Car Encounter in the Suburbs!’】

With such a sensational headline, this issue of the weekly magazine would surely sell like hotcakes! Hahaha, big earnings!

"Mr. Lombardi, how was my performance... are you satisfied?"

Lilian, as a woman, was shaken flustered just by listening to those the flirtatious moans, not to mention the man. It must be blood-boiling for him.

However, the young man in the car seemed more like he was to be handling a business matters, his tone cold and indifferent, rather than enjoying their rendezvous. His slender hand heldhand-held Coco's delicate chin firmly. "Is that all the strength you have? Did you not eat breakfast this morning?"

It's been half an hour of exercise... even if she had eaten more, it would have been digested by now...

A rosy blush appeared on Coco's face, her body moving more vigorously. "Mr. Lombardi, you... um... you're too powerful, I really can't take it anymore..."

*Does this man's stamina *have reallyto last this long?

In this situation, they would have to battle for at least another half an hour.

"What do you mean by powerful?" The man smirked, his lips curving into a mocking arc.

"Well... um... it's just very powerfuloverwhelming, and it's my first time. , yYou're not being gentle..."

"Hmm." The man laughed dismissively. "Your first time?"

"Y-yes." Startled by the mockery in the man's eyes, it was as if he had seen right through her false words.

Coco decided to stop talking and focused on pleasing the man with even more effort.

The man sneered lightly, letting her entwine him like a water snake, slowly removing his sunglasses...

Under the sunlight,sunlight, and without sunglasses on his face, his handsome features radiated.it was a face as handsome as such.

Narrow eyes, a high nose bridge, and pink, yet indifferent, lips. Especially wWhen he smiled, only one corner of his mouth would tilt up with a hint of wickedness, enough to instantly captivate any woman.

Even though Coco had seen this face many times, she was stunned once again, her movements getting slower and slower.

Seemingly dissatisfied with her slowness, the man frowned, rolled over, and rudely pinned her beneath him...

Now, all that was left in Lilian's camera was the man's back.!

He stole the spotlight, damn supporting actor!!!

She wanted to capture a ladylike Coco in the action., okay!

Who does this man think he is? He's stealing the limelight way too much!

Fortunately, she was prepared, taking out her voice recorder and swiftly pressing the switch, capturing the tempting sound of Coco...

In this new wave of rhythm, Coco's enchanting voice was unparalleled, disturbing the birds in the woods, causing them to fly in all directions...

If her fans were to hear such a lascivious voicesalacious voice*, their eyes would surely pop out, right?*

Speaking of which, is it considered an invasion of Coco's privacy to secretly take photos? Will she go to jail if she's caught?!

Feeling anxious in her heart, she became flustered in her actions., hHer hands started trembling, causing her photography equipment to fall to the ground...

Lilian was startled, her heart pounding in her chest.

Luckily, the noise it made was quite slightlow.

They were engaged in their intensepenetrating battleencounter, so they probably didn't hear, right?

Glancing at the Ferrari, the man was indeed still charging at Coco, completely unaware of her presence.

"Phew..." Lilian finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, justrelief. Just in case, she Lilian decided should leave after capturing the photos.!

A few minutes later, Lilian finished packing up and carried the heavy photography equipment back to her car. She took out the memory card for from the camera, as shethe photos and leisurely planned to leave the woods without making a sound.

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind her--

"What's wrong? Don't you have any thoughts to share after watching the entire performance?"

Lilian froze in her spot. Even though she didn't turn around, she could feel the killing malicious intent emanating from behind her.

As the footsteps, that wereFootsteps, gently treading on the grass approached, she could sense him approaching step by step getting closer, but her legs felt as if they were nailed to the ground, and unable to move at all.

Was it the man from earlier?

He actually caught her?! What should she do? What should she do?!

Lilian turned her head blankly.

She saw the man who had just been engaging in intense passion on top of the sports car, stepping closer to her step by step. He had at least 1.88 meters6’1” of towering height, straight legs, a silver-gray shirt with a few unbuttoned buttons that was, revealing his well-built chest, all while emitting an unquenched desire.

Looking at his face again, she saw more clearly his perfect facial features, captivating and deep pupils, and the intense coldness shimmering in his eyes.

And just by standing there so casually, he exuded a compelling aristocratic aura.

This man... had a natural intimidating presence.

Combined with her guilt from secretly taking photos, Lilian took a cold breath, subconsciously taking a step back. "What do you want?"

The tone of her voice was as if he was the one who should be on his guard.

The peeping tom.

Ridiculous woman.

"Enjoying the thrill of peeping?" The man sneered coldly as he approached her, like a terrifying cheetah. "Are you going to hand it over yourself, or should I search for it?"

This man was inexplicably frightening.

Lilian continued to play dumb and stepped back, "I don't understand what you're talking about..."

Is she really pretending to be dumb with him?

The man continued to approach her, carrying an intimidating aura and a natural sense of oppression that made Lilian increasingly at a loss.

"Stop! If you don't stop, I'll scream assault!" In a moment of desperation, Lilian shouted.

The man actually stopped, calmly looking at her as if he had heard something funny. "Assault? I haven't done anything and you're already shouting assault?. But you've been peeping for so long, what's that called? Visual assault?"

Visual assault?!

This man's choice of words truly...

"I really don't understand what you're saying," Lilian continued to play dumb.

Does she think she can get away by pretending to be ignorant in front of him?

She had a slim figure, wearing a white dress over under a sweater, appearing fragile, but her pure face held a stubbornness that couldn't be explained.

Stubborn... to not hand over the photos.

"If you don't hand over the photos, I will make sure you know that this is the worst decision you've ever made in your life."

The man's cold voice carried an arrogant tone.

Is he threatening her?

What does he mean by the worst decision? She's been threatened before as a paparazzo.

"What photos?" Lilian innocently asked, decideding to deny it to the end, raising the photography equipment in her hand. "I'm here to take pictures of the scenery."

She had to find a way to escape. These photos were a big exclusive, and she couldn't let them slip away.

Her eyes quickly rolled around, with the lake on the right and barbed wire on the left.

Lilian stepped back, thinking about turning around and running for her life. She tried to mentally calculate Wwhat her chances were of were the chances of escaping.?

"Hand them over!" The man lost his patience and forcefully pulled her hand forward, his other hand reaching towards her.

His fingertips' heat made Lilian nervous.

He really intends to search her?! This man's gone mad!

Without thinking, she threw the storage card from the pocket of her sweater into the barbed wire beside her.
