Hired a Gigolo, Got a Billionaire

Chapter 313 Nathaniel's POV The scene that unfolded when we entered the bedroom was something I'd carry with me for the rest of my life. A man was on top of Annie, forcing himself on her while she tried to fight him off with weak, uncoordinated movements. It was obvious she was under the influence of something. Her reactions were slow and her strength was limited, but she was still fighting with everything she had left. What I felt in that moment went far beyond anger.

The pain was immediate and brutal, so intense it felt like the air had been ripped from my lungs. It was like watching a car crash in slow motion, horrifying, impossible to look away from. Every image was a blade. Every angle carved deeper into a confusion and sense of betrayal I couldn't even begin to process. It made no sense. None of
