Trapped in Love By Kitty Song

Chapter 1 An Exceptionally High Commission

“Mr. Jordan, the results are in. Miss Shenton’s gynecological examination shows that she is still a virgin and meets all the standards. She’s clean.” The bodyguard respectfully informed the man on the other end of the phone at the entrance of the hospital’s examination room.

Caroline Shenton lowered her head and stood in the crowded corridor, trying to ignore the strange gazes of passersby.

She was weighed down by the burden of her sick mother and father’s gambling debts. Hence, she had resorted to using her body as a bargaining chip and agreed to get into bed with Evan Jordan.

A moment later, Evan’s deep and magnetic voice came through the phone. “Send her to Villa Rosa.”

Back at Villa Rosa, in the dim light, Caroline huddled nervously under the blanket.

The man standing by the bed looked incomparably handsome as he stared down at her with his stone-cold eyes.

Caroline knew that he was Evan Jordan—a man so influential in Angelbay City, one could even call him the king.

As Evan lifted the silk blanket that covered her body, Caroline’s naked form was revealed and reflected in his dark eyes. He leaned in for a fiery-hot kiss and plunged deep into her. A sudden jolt of pain shot through her body, prompting a stifled moan to escape her lips

As he bit her lips, he whispered into her ear, “Don’t cry. You did this willingly. Remember, not everyone is qualified to get into my bed…”

Caroline abruptly awakened and Evan’s last words before she blacked out still echoed in her ears. Slowly turning her head, she found Evan sleeping next to her, and for a moment, she was lost in a daze.

Time flew past, and in the blink of an eye, she had known Evan for three years, working as his private secretary and becoming his lover. Unexpectedly, she dreamed of the first time they met last night.

Caroline rubbed her throbbing head and was about to sit up when Evan’s phone rang.
