The Ceo’s Contract Lover

In the hotel room, a figure was sprawled across the bed. The straps of her dress had fallen, revealing her thin and slender shoulders.

The person by the bed grabbed her delicate face to check if she had fainted.

Good, that she’s unconscious.

The man took out his cell phone and made a call. “Hello? Yes, I’ve already sent her to your room. When will you be arriving? Hahaha. Mr. Henry, don’t worry. My daughter is still a virgin and had never even been in a relationship before.”

“Also, can you tell me when can my company sign the contract papers? Sure, it’d be best if we do it tomorrow.”

“Then I won’t take much of your time. Please enjoy!”

The man turned around cheerfully and left. After the door to the room closed, the girl on the bed slowly opened her eyes.

Yes, the person earlier was none other than her biological father who had set her up!

No wonder her so-called family had suddenly turned so affectionate towards her at the dinner. Turned out they were planning such a conspiracy.

A drop of tear slid down her beautiful pair of amber eyes. Although she knew her father never really liked her, she did not expect him to send her to that man’s bed who could be the same age as her grandfather.

Ignoring the discomfort in her body, Nina supported herself and got up from the bed.

Until now, she had given in to her family’s every request. But this time, she would not tolerate them.

They wanted to use her as a bargaining chip to save their company, right? But they had to see if she agreed!

She would never let them succeed in their plans! Before that perverted man entered, she had to escape.

Outside, the entire hallways were engulfed in darkness, with only a faint stream of light passing through the windows.

Taking advantage of it, she followed the light and staggered in the direction of the staircase.

The elevator suddenly dinged. The person who came out saw her running away and immediately shouted, “Hey! Stop right there!”

Nina’s body immediately tensed, and she ran fast. Just as she neared the stairs, a series of rhythmic footsteps came from below.

The man behind did not expect her to escape and had probably called for help, closing all her escape routes.

Nina temporarily gave up the idea of leaving the hotel and instead ran upstairs. The drug had taken effect, and she was starting to lose consciousness again. She bit her lower lip hard until blood oozed out of them, regaining a bit of sanity.

The footsteps behind her grew louder and had no intention of stopping, chasing her to the top floor.

The guards paused when they saw Nina rushing towards the top floor.

The top floor of the hotel was specifically arranged for the VVIPs and rumors had that a certain big boss was currently staying in the presidential suite tonight.

If that woman dared to cause trouble in his territory, they couldn’t guarantee that they could leave this place unscathed.

“Don’t stand here like freaking mannequins. Get that bitch before someone sees her!” one of the guards spat out fiercely.

Along the corridor that was lined with custom-made carpeting, Nina did not know how long she ran for.

Her throat felt dry, and she was exhausted, ready to fall any moment.

Despite feeling dizzy, she did not dare slow down for fear of getting caught. She turned around at the corner of the corridor.

Having no longer the energy to continue, Nina felt her legs losing their strength, and she tripped over.

Just when she thought she would hit the floor, she fell into a sturdy embrace.

A group of people had just walked out from the opposite room. The man who was being escorted at the front of the crowd was dressed impeccably in a high-end custom-made suit.

Nina felt her head getting heavy and immediately held onto the man tightly. Because of the faint light, she could not see his face.

“Mister, please save me. The people behind drugged me and want to rape me.”

The guards behind immediately stopped when they saw this. What they feared the most had happened.

The man’s nicely shaped eyebrows immediately knitted into a frown. Seeing his expression, his men rushed forward to throw the woman out.

Sensing the surrounding movements, Nina clutched his clothes until the crease appeared on them and whispered in a trembling voice. “Please!”

The man looked at Nina’s amber eyes which were filled with hope and pleading. He then swept his gaze at the guards and signaled his men. His subordinates understood and immediately left, blocking the guards from approaching.

The guards knew it was over for them and gave up indignantly.

After the corridor returned to its usual silence, the man leaned against the wall and sized up Nina lazily.

The girl in front of him looked very young, around eighteen years. Her beautiful and clear eyes were unfocused. There was an unnatural redness on her face, making her appear even more charming. The straps of her dress hung down loosely, revealing her slender shoulders. Despite being skinny, he could trace her voluminous curves.

“Why should I help you?” His deep, charismatic voice rang in her ears.

Nina was taken aback. She opened her mouth slightly, her voice hoarse. “Isn’t it normal to help a damsel in distress?”

The man chuckled lightly at her silly response.

He stretched out his hand, his thumb caressing her face, which was as smooth as silk, and his throat bobbed.

“What exactly do you want me to help you with? The guards or… the drug?”

Nina breathed in his cool sandalwood fragrance and her body reacted under his touch. She subconsciously moved closer to him and replied. “Both.”

Her delicate body was pressed tightly against his, and they stood in an ambiguous position.

“What can you offer me if I help you? You should know that as a businessman, I never suffer losses.”

Nina resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Who exactly was the one at the short end of the stick here?!

Did she run away from a tiger’s den only to get caught by the wolf? “What do you want?”

The man went silent for a while. After a short period, he replied. “Marry me.”

Nina looked at him in disbelief and subconsciously took a step back.

“I-I’m sorry. I’m not in my right state of mind. I don’t think I heard you.”

“What did you hear?”

“Th-That you want to marry me?”

The man nodded his head. “That’s what I said. I need a wife and you look like a suitable candidate. Why don’t you marry me? In that way, we’ll be considered even.”

Nina bit her lips. “Can’t this just stay as a one-night stand?”

“I’m sorry, I’m not a lascivious person.”

Nina could not comprehend his thoughts. She felt that what he said was absurd. How could she marry someone she had barely met? “Don’t you think your request is a bit ridiculous? I don’t even know your name.”

“Jayden Luxton.” his deep and terse voice quietly rang out in the narrow space.

“What?”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“My name is Jayden Luxton. I’m twenty-seven years old this year. You don’t have to worry about my family because I am not on good terms with them. I don’t have any major illness and am not a womanizer either. As for my net worth,” his eyebrows knitted as he found it difficult to remember. “I don’t know my exact net worth, but it should be enough to support you.”

Nina’s twinkling eyes looked at him in astonishment. Even after he had made himself clear, she could not wrap her head around what he said.

Pushing him away, she shook her head and retreated.

She could not.

If even her closest kin could betray her, and use her as a bargaining chip at a time of crisis, then what could she expect from the stranger in front?

Jayden straightened his clothes unhurriedly. Her rejection was within his considerations, but it still came as a surprise to him. If it were any other woman, they would have long thrown themselves at him.

The girl in front of him, however… either she was playing hard to get his attention, or she genuinely did not have any thoughts toward him.

One could not blame him for being so narcissistic. As the youngest person to top Forbes’ youngest billionaires, he did have the assets to be ranked as the most eligible bachelor in the country.

Jayden took a brief look at her. Her delicate little face looked gloomy under the dim lights, making her appear very frail.

At that moment, only one word appeared in his mind.

Pathetic.

Seeing that it was getting late, he could not be bothered by her. He signaled his men to release the guards and bid his farewell. “Have a memorable night.”

Nina felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured on her head. As soon as the guards were free, they immediately pounced on her. It happened so suddenly that Nina did not have time to escape. She struggled under their hold maniacally, underestimating her strength. Her disobedience annoyed the guards and one of them raised his hand, slapping her across her face.

The slap caused her body to sway and Nina broke out into cold sweats.

“This bitch is too unruly. Strip off her clothes and drag her down naked. Let’s see if she continues to cause trouble.”
