Love At The Right Price

Chapter 1 Illegitimate Child

sugar baby that we picked carefully. He was someone that countless women have hired, a lowly sugar baby! Aren’t you someone who thinks herself better than others, Tamara? How is it? How does it feel to have slept with a sex worker?”Tamara’s eyes slowly widened. Her grief threatened to break her apart as her nails dug deeply into the sheets below her. “How could you two do this to me?”Evan was pleased by Tamara’s pained voice. He stepped forward and wrapped his hand around her neck before he opened his mouth to cruelly push her down further. “My cruelty toward you is not even half of what your father did to my parents. If it hadn’t been for your father, would my parents have died? My entire family is dead because of your father! Did you think that I would love you? I feel repulsed just by touching you for a moment!

She wept as she howled in fury. “You animal! You’re inhuman!”Evan exploded from being slapped. He slapped her back, his hand landing right on Tamara’s face, and her cheek instantly swelled, reddened from the hit. Enraged, he sneered. “Get her to a mental facility and lock her up. She’s not to leave the facility ever again.”Tamara had no idea how long she had spent inside the mental facility. From the nurses’ idle gossip, she found out that Randall Industries had gone bankrupt, and her nude photos had spread like wildfire. Everyone spat at her—she had such an excellent man for a husband, and yet she cheated on him, making her father so angry that he died.All of Evan’s wrongdoings were blamed on her instead.Suddenly, someone shouted from
