Get you in my arms novel Chapter 1

The sun was setting, casting a blanket of darkness over the city.

Street lamps soon lit up, dimly lighting the broad roads. The night brought silence along with it. It was, of course, different at the North Ring Street just east of Q City. When the sun was down, it meant that place would soon buzz with life. It was truly a place of wealth and extravagance.

Penisula Hotel, which was situated right at the top of the street, was one of the most luxurious and most expensive hotels in Asia.

Sophia Ye stood in the elevator of Peninsula Hotel with her hands clenched tightly at her sides. Even the elevator was lavish. The marble flooring was polished enough that you could see your own reflection. There was even a tiny chandelier hanging overhead. Sophia sighed loudly. She was dragged here by her cousin, Maria Ye.

Upon their arrival, someone had told them that Maria's husband, who was about twenty years older than she was, was at a luxury suite with some other woman. Unable to face the horrid possibility, Maria Ye urged her cousin to go up and check if it was true.

Sophia Ye was a kind-hearted girl, and had strong viewpoints on what was good and bad. What was more, she hated fickle men the most. Because of this, she agreed to Maria's request without hesitation.

She would catch that dirty, old man in the act and then punch him right at the face to avenge her cousin! Sophia nodded to herself, determined with her plan.

"The guest in Room 2801 is really your brother-in-law?" The porter looked at her doubtfully. If she hadn't said she was related to the man on that floor, the porter would not have allowed her to come in with him. She nodded as she cast a quick glance at the note her cousin wrote for her, not bothering to check it twice nor read it carefully the first time around. 'Yes, that bastard is definitely in room 2801.'

"To be honest, I hope that he isn't in that room or else I'm going to whoop his ass! He just is a rich jerk. He doesn't deserve my cousin at all!" She added. Her angry expression made the waiter no longer doubt her. "I heard that your brother-in-law isn't just filthy rich. They say he's also a very lustful man who's a god in bed,"

the porter commented. As soon as the elevator doors opened, Sophia rushed out like a rocket and left the porter behind.

The presidential suite was truly magnificent. Even the balcony outside was beautifully decorated, almost just like the imperial palace. As Sophia looked around in awe, she heard a door opening. A woman was pushed out the room, or more precisely, thrown out. She hit the floor with a loud thud.

Sophia was frozen in shock. The woman lay on the ground motionlessly for a while. Afterwards, a gorgeous evening gown was thrown out as well, covering her naked body.

"Is this the shameless mistress?" Sophia said as she approached the woman with a sneer.

That woman was really beautiful and attractive, with the face of an angel and the body of an evil temptress. It was too bad for her to be such a shameful woman.

"Go to the hell!" Sophia spat at the woman. "Well, you are pretty enough to get any man you want. Why do you sabotage other peoples' families? Isn't it a waste of your youth to date an old man? Don't you know that if you do so many bad things, karma will eventually catch up with you? I think you must get used to the life of being lazy and sluggish, and you don't want to work on your own. I hate the kind of people like you most, who expect to get a free ride from dirty, rich, old men. You're so lewd and brazen that I'm sure your parents are so ashamed of you if they found out what kind of woman you turned out to be!" Sophia rambled to the girl as her hands motioned expressively.

The woman gave her a ferocious stare but said nothing back to Sophia. She slowly got to her feet. "Ouch!" she exclaimed as she stood up. She saw a waiter standing at the door of the elevator and staring at her. In a hurry, she grabbed her clothes, wrapped herself up, and fled into the elevator.

After the woman left, Sophia couldn't help but think that maybe the old man wasn't as immoral as she thought he was. At least he still had some sort of conscience.

With these thoughts in her mind, Sophia walked up to the waiter and took the food trolley from him. "Let me help you with these things."

"Ah... Okay. Thank you..." The waiter nodded in a daze, seeming to be still shocked at what had just happened.

"What's in it?"

"Ice... Just ice."

"Ice? But it's not even hot in here. Why does he need ice?"

"I don't know. You know how rich men are. They always have their quirks."

Shrugging her shoulders, Sophia didn't say anything more, and then pushed the trolley towards the room.

The door was ajar, a faint, warm light pouring out the opening. "Brother-in-law?" Sophia called out. When no one responded, she pushed the door and let herself inside.

It was dark in the room. The light only came through the open glass window. It had a nice effect on the room, and made it look all the more magnificent.

"Hello?" she called out again in a louder voice. There was still no answer.
