The car was moving steadily along the streets in A City. Brian was sitting inside with his phone in his hand. As he slid his slender fingers across the screen, he suddenly found Becky's smiling face staring back at him. Her eyes twinkled like starlight, and Brian recalled their first encounter.
"Why did you help me?"
"Why do I need a reason?" The little girl blinked her eyes and pouted, staring in confusion at the haughty boy in front of her.
He suddenly became silent, not knowing how to answer her. He was slightly stunned and replied awkwardly," Okay... I will remember your kindness!"
"Oh!" "Oh" was all the girl could utter. She had no idea what the boy had meant.
"What's your name?"
"I am..." Just as she was about to tell him her name, her eyes were drawn to the car behind the boy, and she hurriedly cut off her own sentence," I have to go home now!"
Looking very frightened, she turned around and ran away, her mud-stained dress fluttering in the wind behind her.
The boy curled his lips and frowned. As he was staring behind the girl, who had just disappeared around the corner, a car slowly passed by him.
Brian slightly stroked Becky's face on the screen. All the details of his first meeting with Becky on Dragon Island were still fresh in his memory and brought a faint smile on his handsome face.
His car drove into the villa's driveway.
He put away his phone and managed a calm look despite his sadness. He had bought the villa when Becky had made a joke about the same; but she always stayed in a hotel whenever she arrived in A city and never once went to the villa.
His eyes cast a lonely expression when he got out of the car, and walked alone towards the villa.

Molly stood restlessly in the spacious living room. She could hear some sounds emanating from the kitchen every few minutes. Except for that, the house was so silent, and she could even hear herself breathe.
She stood still with her head lowered. Her eyes were remarkably restless, though that was hidden by her long and dense eyelashes. She began to think of Brian's handsome face. Only the soreness from her body was reminding her of what had happened the night before yesterday. Nothing else about that night had been left in her memory because of the effects of the drug. Brian's god-like presence at the Exotic Bar last night ran through her mind.
His domineering and noble temperament could be seen even in a noisy and chaotic place like a bar. He might have seemed noble like Apollo, but was, in fact, a demon!
With closed lips, Molly frowned at the events of this morning. Whether it was merely a game of the rich men, or something else, she had to accept her fate.
Two hundred thousand...! No amount could ever be enough, but right now she had to sell herself at this price.
Suddenly, she heard the door opening, and a draft of cold wind blew in, which made her shiver with cold. She looked over her shoulder.
