Shen Meng sat on Yun Motian's lap, feeling a mix of anger and fear.

She stopped the man's wandering hand. "Mr. Yun, if I give you what you want, you must guarantee me one thing," she said, steeling herself for his response.

The lightning illuminated the man's face for a moment, revealing his cold aura. Shen Meng felt a chill run down her spine, but she mustered up the courage to get the promise.

Yun Motian laughed, his devilishly handsome smile contrasting against his vulgar words. He withdrew his hand and grabbed her chin instead, narrowing his cold eyes at her.

"You throw yourself into my arms for a deal? But business is about fairness. What's your offer?"

Shen Meng felt her confidence fading as she looked into his icy gaze. She clenched her fists, nails into the palm. She knew that she had lost everything. The Man in front of her was so evil that she wanted to escape immediately. However, in order to achieve that goal, she had to bow her head to this devil-like man. She stuttered and eventually revealed her last resort, "Mr. Yun, I have nothing left, but I still have myself..."

"Ha, that's it?" the man laughed out with a tinge of disdain. "You're of no use to me now, and you want to take fucking advantage of me? Are you kidding me?"

"You think I don't know your real look, under that thick makeup?"

Shen Meng shivered, slowly raised her hand, blocking her face.

Why did he ruin her last slice of dignity?

She could feel it. Those scars, red, swollen scars, looked like curled worms on her face, which reminded her of the hatred in the depth of her heart.

She felt like she was a monster, and want to hide behind her hands.

But, immediately, she remembered her revenge.

No, if he wanted to avenge me by laughing at those scars, then I will let him do it. I will take it and get the things I want with all means." thought Shen Meng.

Shen then put down her hands, and stand straight before Yun Motian, face to face.

Taking a tissue, she wiped away her makeup.

"What should I do to let you take the move?" said Shen Meng in a determined tone. "I'll do anything you ask me to do, even if you want my life."

Yun Motian was slightly surprised that she soon recovered to normal.

Boring.

Yun Motian leaned against the plush cushions of the sofa, his gaze lingering on the delicate figure of the girl before him. The sight of her slender, toned legs, honed from years of ballet training, caused a tightness in his throat.

A dark gleam appeared in his eyes. But he quickly regained his composure, a sly smirk appearing on his lips.

"However," he began, his voice dripping with an underlying seduction, "if you can prove to be of my satisfaction, perhaps we can make a deal." His eyes roamed over her body, causing a shiver to run down her spine. She could feel the raw desire emanating from him, and she knew that she was in trouble. But she was desperate for his help, and she would do anything to get it.

"This is what I want. Everything comes at a price." thought Shen Meng. A tear fell from the corner of her eye.

In a swift motion, she shed her dress and threw herself onto his knees, offering herself to him completely.

The room was filled with the sounds of their passionate lovemaking, with the only background noise being the intense claps of thunder outside.

Shen Meng was completely absorbed in the moment, giving herself fully to Yun Motian.

......

After a long while, Shen Meng felt extremely exhausted, but she didn't dare to lie down. She knelt before Yun Motian, waiting for his reply. She asked, "Mr. Yun, are you satisfied?"

"Yes," he answered with a sigh.

Shen Meng's eyes flickered with hope. "So, when are you going to make your move? Time is running out, you know..."

Yun Motian raised a brow, a hint of playfulness in his tone. "Who said I was going to make a move at all?"

Shen Meng's expression faltered, confusion evident on her face. "But I thought you said as long as I pleased you..."

Yun Motian cut her off with a cold, teasing voice. "I said... perhaps."

Shen Meng's body shook as the truth dawned on her. She looked at Yun Motian in disbelief, her voice trembling. "You lied to me?"

"That's what happens to a woman as naïve as you. You deserve to be cheated!"
