Introduction

"Il perdono è possibile, ma devi ripagare con il tuo corpo." Il creditore di suo fratello, l'uomo più ricco della città, Alexander Sinclair, dichiarò con arroganza, "Divorzieremo tra un anno, non farti strane idee su di me!"
Lei alzò un sopracciglio, accettò prontamente e ricordò puntualmente un anno dopo, "Sei pronto a lasciarmi andare? Il nostro contratto è scaduto."
"No." Questo presidente sfacciato, ma dominante e arrogante, suggerì persino, "Forse possiamo fare un nuovo contratto, ma questa volta, il contratto sarà per cento anni!"

Chapter 1

In una gelida mattina di dicembre nella suite presidenziale di un hotel, il riscaldamento era al massimo. Eppure, Lillian Hill sedeva sulla sua sedia, sudando freddo.

Attorno al tavolo quadrato, oltre a lei, c'erano altre tre persone: suo cugino Adam Hill, il suo capo e la fidanzata del suo capo.

I quattro sembravano amici riuniti. Ma qual era la realtà? Lillian sospirò interiormente, temendo che non potesse esserci nulla di peggio: suo cugino era stato sorpreso in un incontro clandestino con la fidanzata del suo capo, proprio dal suo capo!

Lillian era arrabbiata e ansiosa per questo sconvolgente scandalo. Non riusciva a capire perché Adam fosse con la fidanzata del suo capo. E ora, conoscendo il segreto imbarazzante del suo capo, poteva ancora mantenere il suo lavoro? Il suo capo, un uomo di azione rapida e decisa, poteva ricorrere a misure estreme per mantenere il silenzio?

Più ci pensava, più si spaventava. Diede un'occhiata furtiva al suo capo, che era casualmente appoggiato sulla sedia, gambe incrociate, tamburellando leggermente sul tavolo e giocando con il telefono sotto il tavolo. La sua apparente indifferenza, così a suo agio, la faceva chiedere se fosse troppo scioccato per reagire.

"Alexander, per favore lasciami spiegare..." disse Madison Blair tra le lacrime, afferrando disperatamente la mano di Alexander, "Ho bevuto troppo con gli amici ieri sera, e non so come sono finita qui. Non lo sapevo davvero. Devi credermi."

Alexander Sinclair aggrottò le sopracciglia, ritirando improvvisamente la mano e guardandola con disgusto.

L'espressione di Madison si indurì mentre si mordeva il labbro e guardava Adam con rabbia, poi improvvisamente lo indicò e urlò, "Alexander, è lui! Ha drogato il mio drink, ha approfittato di me e poi ha cercato di ricattarmi. Sei arrivato giusto in tempo per liberarmi di lui!"

Sentendo questo, gli occhi di Lillian si spalancarono per lo shock verso Adam. Lui sembrava sbalordito, fissando Madison, completamente sconcertato.

"Sei impazzita? Come se potessi essere interessato a te?" Adam sbatté la mano sul tavolo, arrabbiato, "Eri tu quella che impazziva ieri sera, baciando chiunque, implorando affetto!"

Sentendo questo, il viso di Madison impallidì, e si alzò con indignazione, "Non infangare il mio nome, perché dovrei farlo? Guardati, non sembri una brava persona. Deve essere stato tu a desiderarmi e a nutrire cattive intenzioni!"

"Signorina Blair, non hai davvero vergogna!" ribatté furiosamente Adam, "Eri chiaramente tu che ti aggrappavi a me ieri sera, rifiutandoti di lasciarmi andare, e ora che il tuo ragazzo è qui, vuoi dare la colpa a me. Non se ne parla!"

Il viso di Lillian arrossì, e abbassò la testa a disagio, lanciando un'occhiata ad Alexander. Continuava a giocare con il telefono, apparentemente indifferente alla lite della coppia.

Madison si avventò verso Adam con rabbia, "Smettila di dire sciocchezze! Perché non ti guardi allo specchio? Sembri un guaio, e se pensi di poter giocare sporco con me e farla franca, ti sbagli!"

"Strega! Come osi minacciarmi?" Adam si mise davanti a lei, guardandola con rabbia.

Madison non era mai stata chiamata in quel modo e senza esitazione, schiaffeggiò Adam in faccia.

"Adam!" Lillian si alzò improvvisamente e gridò.

Furioso, Adam si avventò su Madison, e iniziarono a lottare, lanciandosi insulti a vicenda.

Lillian, frenetica, cercò di interrompere la rissa, implorando, "Smettetela, tutti e due, basta!"

Sia Adam che Madison, accecati dalla rabbia come due tori infuriati, non ascoltarono.

Lillian non riusciva a trattenere uno o a tirare via l'altro, e con una spinta, inciampò all'indietro, finendo sulle ginocchia di Alexander.

"Ah!" Lillian gridò, il viso arrossendo e il cuore battendo nervosamente mentre balbettava, "Signor Sinclair, m-mi dispiace tanto!"

Alexander la guardò con un volto freddo e severo.

Lillian si ritrasse, cercando di alzarsi, ma le gambe cedettero, facendola ricadere sulle sue ginocchia una seconda volta, e, come il destino volle, la sua mano premette involontariamente sulla coscia di lui.

Alexander aggrottò le sopracciglia. Cosa stava facendo? Stava cercando di sedurlo?

"Signor Sinclair!" Lillian quasi gridò per la paura, il viso diventando ancora più rosso.

Alexander ripose il telefono e disse freddamente, "Fuori!"

"Signor Sinclair, mi dispiace, davvero, non volevo, per favore non si arrabbi!" Lillian si affrettò a scendere dalle sue ginocchia, scusandosi frettolosamente.

Alexander si spolverò i pantaloni e si alzò deliberatamente, poi gridò ai due che ancora lottavano, "Smettetela, tutti e due!"

Stupiti dalla sua presenza autoritaria, Madison e Adam cessarono di combattere.

"Alexander!" Madison, con i capelli in disordine e un taglio sanguinante all'angolo della bocca, corse verso Alexander, tentando di gettarsi tra le sue braccia, e disse pietosamente, "Devi difendermi!"

Alexander reagì rapidamente, spingendola via con la mano prima che si avvicinasse, con un'espressione di disgusto.

"Ben ti sta!" Adam, con graffi sul viso, rise soddisfatto della sua sfortuna.

"Kevin." Alexander parlò improvvisamente con un tono freddo, "Porta fuori quest'uomo e occupatene."

"Sì, signor Sinclair," rispose Kevin Martin, che stava vicino alla porta, avanzando per afferrare il colpevole.

Lillian si mise davanti ad Adam, la voce tremante per la paura nervosa mentre chiedeva, "Signor Martin, dove state portando mio cugino?"

Adam si nascose dietro Lillian, la voce sfidante, "Cosa volete da me? È stata quella donna a sedurmi; non c'entro nulla!"

Kevin ridacchiò, "Signor Hill, non importa chi ha sedotto chi. Hai messo le mani sulle persone del signor Sinclair, e questa è una strada senza uscita!"

Il viso di Adam diventò pallido, la paura gli fece cedere le gambe mentre crollava a terra. Si trascinò verso Alexander, aggrappandosi disperatamente alle sue gambe e implorò, "Signor Sinclair, è stata tutta colpa mia, per favore non uccidetemi!"

Lillian sentì un brivido nel cuore e implorò per conto di Adam, "Signor Sinclair, per favore lasci andare Adam. La prego!"

In un disperato tentativo di ottenere misericordia, Adam aggiunse rapidamente, "Signor Sinclair, per amore di Lillian che lavora per lei, per favore risparmiatemi!" Dopo una breve pausa, blurtò disperatamente, "Signor Sinclair, se cerca una vendetta, che ne dice di Lillian? È dolce e bella e potrebbe essere la sua fidanzata!"

"Adam!" Lillian gridò scioccata dalle sue parole, "Hai perso la testa? Cosa stai dicendo?"

Poi si rivolse ad Alexander, cercando ansiosamente di spiegare, "Signor Sinclair, per favore non si arrabbi. Adam parla senza pensare. Qualsiasi compenso lei voglia, non discuteremo!"

Alexander fece una risata bassa, giocherellando distrattamente con il gemello della camicia mentre diceva casualmente, "Allora andiamo con la proposta di Adam."
