Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

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.

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.”
