Chapter 2

Natalia’s spine stiffened, a chill creeping up her back.

would you do?

Hamilton’s brows were furrowed, his entire demeanor radiating a frosty aura as if the warmth and passion from moments before had been an illusion.

“What else can I do? I’d help you schedule the operation.”

Natalia’s face gradually lost its color, her hands clenched tightly together.

Hamilton’s gaze grew colder.

“Natalia, don’t forget the rules of our game.”

Natalia’s body tensed suddenly.

Right, their relationship had always been a game. After all, she could never truly match up to Hamilton with her background.

She was from an average family.

Hamilton, on the other hand, was the eldest son and heir of the prestigious Fowler family, the true master of its empire.

Their relationship had started by sheer coincidence.

Three years ago, her mother was in a terrible car accident and needed money urgently. Natalia had swallowed her pride and gone to her biological father’s mansion to ask for help.

She had collapsed after kneeling outside the opulent mansion for an entire night, without a penny to her name.

It was Hamilton, passing by, who found her.

When she woke up in the hospital, the first thing Hamilton did was propose a game to her.

An adult game with no strings attached.

Back then, all she had asked was, “Will I get paid?”
