“I will only touch you when you are willing,
understand?”
“I see.”

So there are men that good.
I thought all men only thought about sex.
He and Jake are also very different.
That night, John gave the master bedroom to me, and he slept in the second bedroom.
- 10.
In the days that followed, John was never at
home.
I watched dramas in his house every day,
because I couldn’t escape.
Three days later, he came back, asked the
staff to put on a dress for me, and said he
would take me to a business banquet

would take me to a business banquet.
Today, he is wearing a black suit, matched
with a golden figure, which makes people
can’t take their eyes off him.
I don’t understand how such an excellent and
handsome man would like me.
He didn’t say much along the way, just using
his notebook to do some work.
“Right, you can continue to do your job, just
move to my house.”
He spoke up suddenly.
“Okay.”
After arriving, I got out of the car.
Jake and Brittany came too.
Brittany looked me up and down and said
with a smile, “Chloe, it’s really different when
you’re with a man. You have a femininity
now.”
Jake glanced at me.
“Did he sleep with you?”
y
“But a person like John will soon get tired of
you, so hurry back to me.”
His attitude made me angry.
I have been with him for seven years. I’ve did
whatever he asked me to do, and I’ve bought
whatever he wanted.

But at this moment, I don’t want to be a simp
anymore.

Just as John walked over, I grabbed his hand.
Hard.
“John is my boyfriend now.”
“He’s not going to get tired of me.”
“Right, John?”
John laced his fingers through mine, gripping
my hand tight.
“That’s right.”
<
His voice was all smooth and chill, like he was
holding back a laugh.
Jake’s face darkened when he heard that.
He pulled Brittany close, wrapping his arm
around her.
“Well, I have a girlfriend too. We just got
together.”
Brittany giggled, all coy. “Yeah, Jake already
announced it on Insta.”
“And that concerns us… how?”
John’s voice was icy. He pulled me along and
we walked right past them.

As soon as we were inside, I let go of his
hand.
“Sorry for using you like that.”
“Wasn’t ‘using.‘ I said you were mine,
remember?”
He grabbed my hand again, introducing me to
what felt like a million business types.
“You need to learn how to handle these
people. So when I’m not around, you don’t
freak out.”
I didn’t get why I needed to learn all this.
I had the cash ready to pay back his money.
Then, I was going to leave.
L
I wasn’t going to just stay with him without
knowing what was going on.
Later, I went to the restroom.
As soon as I walked out, I ran right into Jake.
He was a head taller than me. He stared
down at me, gritting his teeth. “You liked me,
Chloe.”
“How could you be with John?”
“You thought because I liked you, you could
treat me however you wanted, and I’d still be
into you, right?”
It was the first time I’d ever talked to him like
this.
<
Before, I’d always been smiling, trying to
make him happy.
Even if I was in a bad mood, I never wanted
to bring him down.
“That’s not true.”
“Chloe, I know you’re just mad because I gave
you to John.”
“But I knew John wasn’t interested in dating
girls. I thought I’d make enough money and
take you back soon.”
Hearing him talk like that made me feel sick.
I couldn’t take it anymore and slapped him
across the face.
My grandma taught me to always be in
control of my emotions.
“Chloe, learn to control yourself. No matter
what happens, stay calm and collected.”
E
But at that moment, I couldn’t help it.
The thought of liking him for seven years and
then being sold off made me furious.
“Jake, I used to really like you.”
“But I’m telling you now, I don’t like you
anymore. I’m done with you.”
“What I do is none of your business.”
I turned to leave. He grabbed my arm and

slammed me against the wall.
“Chloe, don’t say things you don’t mean. I
know you still have feelings for me.”
“Break up with John, and I’ll be with you right
away.”
He leaned in to kiss me.
That’s when I spotted John standing not too
far behind him.
He was staring at me. His eyes were dark.
I don’t know why, but I didn’t want him to be
angry.
I pushed Jake away.
“Chloe, I just want to kiss…”
Before Jake could finish his sentence, John
was already there.
He reached out his hand to me, voice soft
and gentle. “Come here.”
He had this strange power over me. I just
wanted to do what he said.
I walked over and grabbed his hand.
“Jake, this girl’s with me.”
John stared at Jake.
“I don’t want to see this again.”
His voice was quiet but terrifying.
<
Jake hung his head.
“Sorry, John.”
John ignored him and pulled me away.
He was walking so fast that I had to jog to
keep up.
Finally, he pinned me against the wall in a
hallway.
“If I hadn’t shown up, would you have let him
kiss you?”
- 12.
“No way.”
thi
I answered without thinking.
Why was I so quick to explain?
He wasn’t even my boyfriend. Why did I feel
like I owed him an explanation?
His tense expression softened a little. He
didn’t say anything, just leaned in and kissed
- me.
I froze, completely forgetting to push him
away.
He cupped my head in his hands, deepening
the kiss.
I finally snapped out of it and pushed him
away. “Don’t… don’t do that.”
<
He just pulled me close, like he was in a good
mood.
