Chapter 1

Berdiri di ruang tamu besar keluarga Martin, Chloe Davis merasa terpojok untuk pertama kalinya dalam hidupnya.

Dua pewaris muda keluarga Martin, mengenakan kemeja bunga-bunga, menatapnya dengan pandangan merendahkan dan penuh kebencian. Tatapan intens mereka membuat Chloe merasa tidak nyaman. Dia bisa merasakan mata mereka menatap tajam, menilai setiap gerakannya.

Udara di sekitar mereka terasa semakin tegang, dan jantung Chloe berdegup kencang saat dia mencoba mempertahankan ketenangannya.

Pewaris kedua, Michael Martin, mengerutkan hidungnya dan beralih ke saudaranya yang sedang bersantai, Liam Martin.

Dia berkata dengan nada meremehkan, "Ini tunangan yang dipilih Kakek untuk kita?"

Liam mengangguk, dengan senyum mengejek di bibirnya. "Iya, Kakek memberi aku foto, dan aku sudah memeriksa dua kali. Ini pasti dia. Sulit dipercaya, kan?"

Michael memegang kepalanya dan memukul dadanya dengan dramatis.

"Kenapa? Apakah aku menyinggung alam semesta? Bagaimana aku bisa berakhir dengan wanita norak seperti ini? Aku lebih baik jomblo. Aku tidak bisa menghadapi ini!" serunya, tanpa usaha untuk menyembunyikan kebenciannya pada Chloe.

Tidak mengherankan, dengan pakaian Chloe hari ini, bahkan babi hutan pun akan menghindar.

Dia mengenakan kemeja bunga yang dimasukkan ke dalam celana pendek biru tua, tampilan yang terlihat tidak serasi dan tidak menarik.

Dan itu belum yang terburuk. Wajahnya diolesi semacam make-up gelap, dan dia memiliki dua kuncir dengan jerami terselip di dalamnya, membuatnya terlihat seperti wanita gua.

Reaksi Michael sama persis dengan adiknya, Liam. Dia menutupi wajahnya, menatap Chloe selama tiga detik, lalu mengambil tempat sampah dan mulai muntah.

Sambil muntah, dia mengeluh, "Jelek, benar-benar jelek! Dia uniknya jelek. Jika bukan karena Kakek yang menyuruhku menjemputmu, aku tidak akan melihatmu meskipun aku mati." Dia mengusap mulutnya dengan punggung tangannya, menatap Chloe dengan jijik yang tidak disembunyikan.

Melihat reaksi mereka, Chloe merasa diam-diam senang. Apakah mereka pikir dia ingin dekat dengan mereka?

Dia hanya ada di sini karena menghormati kakeknya dan untuk warisan masa depan.

Mereka menganggapnya menjijikkan, tetapi Chloe juga tidak ingin menghabiskan satu menit pun dengan mereka. Jika bukan karena penampilan mereka yang lumayan, dia sudah pergi.

Kakeknya telah menjelaskan bahwa jika dia tidak tinggal dengan keluarga Martin selama setahun, dia tidak akan mendapatkan apa yang dia inginkan, jadi Chloe harus berkompromi.

Melihat bahwa Liam hampir selesai muntah, Chloe memutar matanya dan mendekatinya.

Dia berkata kepada Liam, "Muntah sebanyak itu, apakah kamu hamil?"

Begitu dia mengucapkan ini, ruang tamu menjadi hening selama tiga detik, lalu Michael, sambil memegang kepalanya, menunjuk Liam dan tertawa.

"Liam, dia bilang kamu hamil. Dia benar-benar bilang kamu hamil..."

Mendengar suara Michael, Chloe mengangkat wajahnya dan berkata dengan datar, "Bukankah begitu di TV?"

Liam marah mendengar kata-kata Chloe. Dia melempar tempat sampah dan berteriak pada Chloe, "Bodoh, aku laki-laki. Bagaimana bisa laki-laki hamil?"

"Oh, jadi kamu ayam jantan yang tidak bisa bertelur?"

Balasan cepat Chloe membuat Liam ingin meninju wajahnya.

Namun mengingat kata-kata kakeknya, dia dengan enggan menurunkan tinju yang sudah terangkat.

"Kamu mau bikin aku gila, ya?"

Chloe memandang Liam yang marah dan dengan riang bertanya, "Apakah ada undang-undang yang melarang membuat orang gila?"

Liam terdiam.

Chloe terus memancing emosi Liam, "Lagi pula, apakah aku membuatmu marah? Kamu sendiri yang memilih untuk marah."

"Kamu memang tajam lidahnya!"

"Dan kamu mulutnya kotor!" Chloe membalas Liam.

Saat keadaan hampir menjadi fisik, Michael yang sedang menikmati pertunjukan memutuskan untuk campur tangan.

"Liam, ini hari pertamanya di sini. Kita tidak boleh berbuat kasar padanya. Kalau Kakek tahu, kita akan dimarahi lagi. Bukankah Grant bilang kita harus memperlakukannya dengan baik?"

Mendengar saran Michael, akhirnya Liam tenang.

Michael menunjuk ke kamar di lantai atas dan berkata kepada Chloe, "Kamarmu ada di lantai dua, di pojok. Kamu sudah bepergian selama beberapa hari, jadi istirahatlah sebentar..."

Chloe dengan nakal menggerakkan matanya, mengambil kopernya, dan menuju ke lantai atas.

Sebelum pergi, dia memastikan untuk memberi dua saudara laki-laki di bawah sebuah pesan terakhir, "Aku perlu membeli beberapa kebutuhan sehari-hari. Nanti aku kasih daftar. Pastikan kamu beli semuanya untukku. Terima kasih."

Melihat sikap bossy Chloe, Liam tidak bisa menahan diri untuk menggerutu, "Michael, lihat dia. Dia memperlakukan kita seperti pelayan. Lihat betapa sombongnya dia."

"Oh, Liam, berhenti mengeluh. Kakek yang mengatur dia untuk ada di sini. Kita harus tahan dengan sikapnya. Karena salah satu dari kita saudara laki-laki akan berakhir menikahinya."

Michael menjelaskan situasinya.

Liam cemberut. "Aku bilang duluan. Aku lebih baik mati daripada menikahinya."

Michael setuju, "Sama. Dia begitu jelek, membuatku mual..."

"Jadi apa yang kita lakukan?"

Michael berkata, "Apa lagi? Kita harus dorong dia ke kakak kita, Grant!"

"Apa? Kalau Grant tahu, dia akan membunuh kita."

"Jangan khawatir. Tugas Grant sebagai yang tertua adalah menjaga adik-adiknya. Aku sudah kirim cewek jelek ini ke kamar Grant. Kalau tidak ada yang salah..."

Michael dan Liam berbagi senyum licik dan cerdik.

Chloe membawa kopernya ke kamar di lantai atas, melepas pakaian kotornya, dan menikmati mandi air panas.

Perjalanan panjang memang membuatnya lelah. Dia menarik selimut biru muda dan tanpa ragu merangkak ke tempat tidur.

Dia mengeluarkan smartphone-nya dan mengirim pesan kepada sahabatnya, Zara Jenkins.

Zara: [Bagaimana di sana? Apakah pewaris muda Keluarga Martin menyulitkanmu?]

Chloe dengan cepat membalas: [Anak-anak Martin? Aku mengatasi mereka dengan mudah!]

Mungkin karena terlalu lelah, Chloe bahkan tidak peduli dengan makan malam. Begitu dia menyentuh tempat tidur, dia langsung tertidur.

Di tengah malam, dia tiba-tiba merasakan kehadiran seorang pria di kamarnya, membuatnya terbangun dari tidur nyenyak. Jantungnya berdebar saat dia berusaha melihat melalui kegelapan, mencoba memahami sosok bayangan yang berdiri di dekat tempat tidurnya.

Ruangan itu gelap, dan pria itu tampaknya tidak menyadari kehadiran Chloe.

Dia melepaskan pakaiannya, mengenakan jubah tipis, dan berjalan langsung ke tempat Chloe tidur, mengangkat selimut.

"Will you continue to disobey me?" he asks, his gaze cool and hard.
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
"You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure.
"Hmm," But suddenly, they are gone. I cry as he leaves my body aching for him. He switches our position within a second, so I'm under him. My breath is shallow, and my senses are incoherent as I anticipate his hardness in me. The feeling is fantastic.
"Please," I beg. I want him. I need it so badly.

All of a sudden there was a growl that ripped through the room and the band stopped playing and I heard something smash. Like it was a wooden chair or something.
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
"Mine." He demanded.
