"Hamilton Adams, a famous young entrepreneur, was arrested by the procuratorate today at the wedding site for suspected smuggling, tax evasion, and illegal fundraising..."

On the big screen, the dashing young groom was taken away in handcuffs by the police. Tears smearing her makeup, the bride rushed up but was stopped.

People halted their steps and saw a star falling.

Soon, it was published by all major newspapers.

With Hamilton arrested, Adams Group was reshuffled and acquired by HNE Group. It became a subsidiary of the international conglomerate.

Karl Kent, President of HNE Group, returned, took office, expanded the business across the Asia-Pacific region, and swept through the stock market!

Investors purchased their stocks frantically...

Donna, Hamilton's fiancée, disappeared after his arrest. No one knew her whereabouts.

...

The resplendent villa was located in a quiet brownstone area. The scenery was pleasant all around, but the atmosphere was desolate.

Cold... so cold...

What was this place?

Her eyes closed, Donna knitted her brows and shuddered. Coldness filled up her every pore, and she curled up on a bed.

"So cold..." Exhaling hot breaths, she reached out to grab.

In her drowsiness, she seemingly grabbed a heat source. It was the hot arm of a man.

Feeling the warmth, she immediately held onto it like a thirsty wanderer in the desert. She was longing for more warmth to resist the cold.

The hot air going into her nostrils was mixed with a tempting scent.

What... was she holding? It felt like a person...

She had a splitting headache and gradually opened her eyes.

The glamourous face of a man was just inches away.

"Ah!!!" Donna screamed in fright, immediately let go, cowered abruptly, and accidentally fell off the bed.

Following a thud was her painful cry!

"Ouch..." Gritting her teeth, she got up, only to find herself naked.

Where were her clothes?

Donna raised her head and looked at the man on the bed. At that moment, he was gazing at her scornfully.

Appalled, she huddled herself and curled up on the floor.

"Who are you?" She trembled violently and looked at the man in alarm.

Half-naked, the man leaned against the head of the bed and stared at her frost-bitten skin nonchalantly. His eyes glittered fervently.

"Long time no see." The corner of his lips curved up slightly in an evil smile.

"I don't know you. What is this place? Where are my clothes?" In a hurry, she grabbed the drooping bedsheet to cover her body.

Where was she exactly? Who was this man?

She tried to recall what happened.

She was at the wedding ceremony with Hamilton. Then people from the procuratorate arrested him. In dejection, she stayed in the church...

Later... it seemed she passed out...

Did this man kidnap her?

"How does it feel to lose everything, Miss Cole?" The man watched her fluster with ease.

"Who the hell are you? What did you do to me?" She panted heavily.

She was shocked to hear him calling her 'Miss Cole.'

After the downfall of her family, she struggled to make ends meet. It had been ten years since someone called her like this last time.
