Chapter 1 Please, Save Me
The night was shrouded in darkness, with a gentle breeze caressing the earth.
Inside the most luxurious presidential suite at Silverton’s grandest hotel, a nineteen-year-old girl, dressed in a seductive black silk nightgown, lay in a daze on a soft bed, her beautiful eyes tightly shut, and her hands bound behind her with a rope.
Suddenly, her eyes darted around, and she forcefully opened her almond-shaped
eyes.
At this time, a man and a woman were fawning over an overweight middle-age man with a brainy look as they walked towards the presidential suite.
“Mr. Anderson, rest assured, she’s my daughter. She might be a bit stubborn, but I can guarantee she’s still a virgin! Once women experienced it once, they become as obedient and docile as little kittens.”
The man finished speaking, and the woman immediately said, “Exactly, Mr. Anderson. Also, young women are more likely to have healthy pregnancies and deliver healthy babies.”
With his hands resting behind his back, Mr. Anderson said, “Alright. I’ll see her first. If I’m satisfied, I’ll give the project in Riverton to the
Donovans.”
The man was beaming with joy, while the woman’s heavily made-up face was just beginning to crack into a smile.
“I promise you’ll be satisfied!”
As they spoke, they had already reached the door of the presidential suite. The man promptly took out a key card, opened the door, and politely extended
his hand. “Mr. Anderson, please.”
Mr. Anderson entered without any delay. His protruding belly swayed as he sauntered confidently. The man and the woman promptly followed suit.
Once the three of them entered the room and saw the empty white bed, they were all dumbfounded!
Where was she?
Mr. Anderson’s face darkened, and he turned back to glare at them angrily. “Robert, are you playing a trick on me?”
Robert was also dumbfounded and turned to the woman beside him. “Alice, where is she? Didn’t I ask you to bring her over after you knocked her out?”
Alice was also stunned, looking at the empty room, her forehead covered in a cold sweat from anxiety. “I did bring her here. To prevent her from struggling, I even tied her hands, and I even …”
Just then, a black figure quietly emerged from the bathroom beside the door. Without even glancing at the room, she walked out.
She really wanted to run, but she felt highly uncomfortable now. Her body was feverish and weak. Her legs felt so weak that walking normally was
difficult.
This stepmother, Alice Campbell, not only made her faint, but also drugged her!
She bit her red lips hard, the pain helping her gather her strength. She leaned against the wall for support and took slow, deliberate steps towards the elevator.
From behind, Claire heard Alice’s malicious voice, “This is impossible!
We can definitely
Claire couldn’t have gone far. Let’s search this bo
find her!”
Claire’s heart tightened, her gaze quickly scanning the nearby room doors. Suddenly, she noticed that one of the doors was slightly ajar, revealing a thin gap. If someone didn’t look closely, they wouldn’t even notice it.
Claire grasped at this glimmer of hope. She bit her lip until it bled, and
the pain gave her a burst of energy. The young woman rushed to the door just as Alice and Robert came out of the presidential suite, She used her body to push open the door and slipped inside.
With her back pressed against the door, she could still hear the voices of Alice and Robert talking outside.
Finally, she escaped.
Claire breathed a sigh of relief, a smile of surviving a calamity tugging at her lips. Her whole body leaned weakly against the door.
Suddenly, a cold and stern gaze locked onto her face. The look was so icy that her smile froze in an instant. She looked up anxiously and saw a man standing before her, his upper body bare, and only a
towel wrapped around his waist.
At first glance, it was clear the man had just taken a shower. His hair was
а half-dry, with a few strands damply clinging to his smooth forehead.
Claire didn’t have time to appreciate the splendid sight of a handsome man
after a bath. Just as someone knocked on the door behind her, the man’s brows slightly furrowed, and he gazed at her with slightly parted lips.
No!
She couldn’t let him speak!
Perhaps it was Robert and Alice knocking on the door. If they found out she was here, they would definitely drag her back and take her to Mr. Anderson again.
With an unknown surge of strength and courage, Claire rushed forward in at single step. Before the man could say anything, she tiptoed, capturing his lips with her own.
It was as if an electric current ran through the man’s body. Heat swiftly spread from his lips, making his eyelids droop as he gazed at the audacious girl before him. His hazel eyes widened slightly.
Damn it, he fell into a trap with a single moment of carelessness!
There was something on her lips, some kind of drug!
Claire was unaware of this, feeling only that when her lips touched theFrom NôvelDrama.Org.
man’s, the fiery heat within her surged even more, like a trapped beast desperately trying to break free from its cage, rendering her body even more limp and weak.
The knocking paused briefly, then resumed.
Claire parted from the man’s lips, gasping for air. Her deep brown eyes looked pitifully into the man’s intense gaze. Lowering her voice, she showed him the bound hands behind her, pleading, “Please, save me…”
The man’s gaze grew colder, and a sinister curve formed on his thin lips. Save her?
Heh!
Now he needed to save himself!
Without hesitation, his long fingers firmly grasped Claire’s delicate waist.
Before she could react, he had already thrown her onto the spacious and soft
bed.
The next second
Claire’s eyes fluttered open as the first ray of sunlight streamed through the curtains.
The previous night, her body had felt like it had been run over by a car, every movement causing pain.
She gritted her teeth and sat up, looking at the man’s exquisitely handsome face sleeping beside her. She was so angry that she wanted to reach over and smack his head!
She had asked him to save her, to help her untie the ropes on her hands, not … not this!
Oh, well!
Let’s just consider it as being bitten by a dog!
In any case, he was far more attractive than Mr. Anderson. When comparing the two men, Claire didn’t feel like she had missed out too badly.
After gently lifting the blanket, Claire silently got out of bed, careful not
to make a sound. The pajamas she wore last night couldn’t be worn again.
She walked to the sofa, picked up the man’s white shirt and black pants, and carefully put them on herself. They were oversized and too long, but still
better than wearing nothing at all.
There was a wallet in the pants pocket. Claire took it out and opened it. A
thick stack of money made her eyes squint with joy.
She had to run away. How could she do that without money?
With this much money, she could buy new clothes and a plane ticket.
She pulled out the money and stuffed it into her pants pocket. She glanced at the ID card inside the wallet before tossing it onto the sofa.
Sean Vanderbilt.
Hmm… so his name was Sean Vanderbilt!
The man on the bed suddenly turned over, startling Claire. Without daring to linger, she hiked up the pants that trailed on the floor and hurried toward
the door.
Half an hour later, the man woke up.
Staring at the empty room, if not for the vivid crimson stain on the white sheets, he would have thought last night was just a dream.
This damned woman!
She drugged him, slept with him, and left without saying a word?
Wasn’t she supposed to sit on the bed, threaten him with tears, tantrums, and
even threats of suicide until he agreed to marry her?
Or was she planning to leave, doll up, and then return to extort him?
Sean picked up his phone and dialed a number. “Victor, get over here!”
Ten minutes later, Victor Garcia rushed in, looking all flustered and
alarmed.
“Mr. Sean, I was here last night. I knocked on the door, but you didn’t respond or open the door, so I didn’t dare to come in.”
Sean leaned against the headboard, wearing only a white shirt with the collar slightly open, revealing his strong chest, making him look restrained and

charming.
He gazed at Victor, and a chilly glint flickered in his deep eyes. “How many people know about my arrival in Silverton?”
“Huh?”
charming.
He gazed at Victor, and a chilly glint flickered in his deep eyes. “How many people know about my arrival in Silverton?”
“Huh?”
Victor was momentarily taken aback. He had thought Sean had called him over to scold him for not delivering the documents promptly last night, but this was unexpected.
After a moment of contemplation, he affirmed, “No one! Even your parents are unaware of your visit to Silverton, let alone anyone else.”
Sean’s brow furrowed in confusion. He had been careful to keep his arrival in Silverton a secret, so how did the woman from last night know about him? Could she be a trap set by someone else?
Why did she come to his room and apply drugs to her lips?
His gaze slid to the empty wallet on the bedside cabinet, and a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes. “Victor, last night I was slept with by a woman, top to bottom. You better find her for me!”
What?
It is hard to believe that Mr. Sean, the imperious Ascalon figure who had lived a chaste and simple life for 28 years, had slept with a woman.
Victor’s body jolted as if he had been injected with a shot of adrenaline. He was so excited, he could barely contain himself.
Hahaha! Victor.couldn’t wait to find out which audacious woman had dared to sleep with the vengeful Sean Vanderbilt of the Vanderbilts.
Victor could already envision the scene once they found her. She would be tormented by Mr. Sean until she wished she were dead.
After checking the hotel’s surveillance footage, Victor quickly identified the woman as Claire Donovan.
Claire was the eldest daughter of Robert Donovan, the CEO of Alpha Ventures. Her mother had passed away, and Robert had brought his longtime lover, Alice Campbell, into the family. Claire grew up oppressed under Alice’s rule.
Claire was the Donovans’ outwardly perfect child, but behind closed doors, she was their scapegoat. Despite this, she excelled in her studies and was admitted to Silverton University at the age of 15.
Though her family was in Silverton, Claire had been living on campus. She earned a PhD with a double major by the age of nineteen.
After reviewing Claire’s profile, Sean lifted an eyebrow. “Where is she?”
Under Sean’s icy gaze, Victor’s facial muscles tensed, and a layer of cold sweat formed on his back. His throat felt as if it were stuffed with cotton, and he finally managed to force out a few words, “We haven’t … haven’t found her.”
