Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

86 Colliding bullets

Mulan slowly looked up at his face while biting her lips to not scream out in pain as the hold on her clavicle had gotten tighter. (1)

“Are you seducing me?” He asked playfully.

Mulan almost spat saliva on his face. Seduce him? Why would she want to have anything to do with a soulless devil? Peradventure this man has a little bit of affection towards anything that isn’t money, power, and his life. She would have chosen him because, someone without weakness would be the only person to give her the kind of life she wanted, but unfortunately, he isn’t such an individual.

Holding Mulan’s gaze with his, Damien chuckled. “Mulan, do you know why I never disturbed you all these years? It was because I saw you as a wonderful chess piece. From a tender age…” Damien paused and slowly let go of her clavicle and trailed a finger to spaghetti strap sleeve and slowly pulled it until it fell off her shoulder.

Mulan flinched and stiffened when Damien’s fingers brushed against her exposed melon.

She was one of those who went after Rossa and Vera. She had thought it was a perfect job but now…

Mulan raised her eyes and saw Damien beaming at her.

“You thought I wouldn’t know?” He asked. Not that he needed an answer. “Hahaha…you know by now that everything happening around the globe is under my watch, unless I don’t care about it, but your case is different.”
