Chapter 6

This matter weighed heavily on my mind, leaving me restless throughout the night.

The next day, I accompanied Liam Anderson to the hotel where the man had arranged to meet.

Having resolved to burn my bridges, I brought a voice recorder with me before leaving.

I intended to record evidence of his threats against us.

I still hadn’t told Liam about my plan.

Since I wanted to keep him out of it, it was better he remained unaware.

This would also prevent him from accidentally revealing anything.

We arrived at the hotel room and met Liam’s classmate, Noah Lopez.

His eyes scanned me up and down the moment he saw me.

He finally remarked with a meaningful tone.

"I watched the video on my phone all night long. That body is absolutely incredible. Liam, if your girlfriend spends one night with me, I’ll give you the video. How about that?"

Liam snorted. "Noah, aren’t you going too far?"

"Everyone desires beautiful things. What’s so wrong about that? This is my only condition. Think about it."

Listening to their conversation, I firmly refused.

"I will never do anything with you!"

Noah chuckled at my response and stepped closer to us.

He shoved me toward Liam.

"If you don’t want to do it with me, how about with Liam?

You two are dating, after all.

Just do it once right here in front of me. Let me enjoy the show."

I never expected Noah to make such a demand.

If Liam and I were truly in a relationship, it might be different.

But we weren’t.

There was no way I could agree.

When I refused this request as well, Noah’s expression turned vicious.

He waved his phone menacingly.

"If you don’t agree, I’ll upload this video online right now."

Liam quickly stopped him. "Wait a moment."

He pulled me aside and whispered in my ear.

"Aunt, maybe we should just do it this once.

If neither of us speaks about it, no one will ever know.

It’s better than being with Noah."

I had already prepared myself for a final showdown and wasn’t inclined to accept Liam’s suggestion.

But then I reconsidered.

If doing it just this once could resolve everything, it might be worth it.

After all, Liam was also involved.

If I reported this to the police, he would inevitably be implicated.

Seeing my hesitation, Liam wrapped his arm around my waist and guided me further into the room.

"Noah, we’ll agree to your terms, but you must promise not to record anything."

Noah cooperatively set his phone aside.

Liam tossed my purse to the floor, lifted me, and threw me onto the bed.

His large hands roamed wildly over my body, stirring a growing heat within me.

My initial resistance gradually gave way to anticipation and excitement.

As Liam’s warm hands explored every inch of my skin, my body flushed with a rosy hue.

I even forgot Noah was in the room.
