It had to be the coffee she just drank. It was spiked.

She bent down, picked up a broken piece of porcelain from the floor, and gripped it tightly in her hand.

“You’re Cassia, right?” Mike asked, even though he already knew.

“What’s it to you?” Cassia leaned back lazily in her chair, her fingers clenched.

Her nails had already dug deep into her palm, piercing the flesh and leaving tiny puncture marks.

Mike observed her condition, his gaze fixed on the porcelain shard in her hand. He felt it might be a little too early to make his move.

“Who were you talking to on the phone?” Mike asked. He decided it would be better to move her somewhere else. He didn’t want anyone to interrupt them.

Cassia answered casually, “None of your business.”

As she spoke, her grip tightened again.

As she did so, the sharp edge of the porcelain cut a long, bloody gash across her palm.

Blood began to flow.

It slowly seeped through the gaps between her fingers, gathering into thick droplets that fell from her clenched knuckles.

Some drops stained her clothes, while others fell onto the clean, white carpet…

The faint metallic scent of blood in the room grew stronger.

“Your family was right. You’ve got quite a temper,” Mike said as he stood up, his disgusting gaze never leaving her.

“But they were right about something else, too. You look much better in person than in those photos. You’re leagues above any woman I’ve ever seen.”

If he hadn’t seen her picture, he wouldn’t have agreed to this meeting.

“That call earlier was for help, wasn’t it?” Mike asked directly.

“Honestly, don’t bother. Whoever it was, they can’t do anything even if they come here. I’m the heir to the Wilcox Group.”

Mike stepped closer to her, one step at a time.

“And I’ve got strong bodyguards outside. Even if someone tried to interfere, they couldn’t get in. I heard your brother tried to take you away earlier, but my men threw him out.”

Mike’s shadow loomed over Cassia. He looked at her like a piece of meat at a market.

“Not bad. Not bad at all. You’re beautiful. You’re actually the first woman who’s made me think about marriage. You should feel honored.”

Cassia kept her eyes half closed, ignoring everything he said.

Right now, she was saving her strength. If Draven didn’t arrive in time, she would have to save herself.

That was her last chance.

“Honored?” Cassia looked at him with clear disgust, her hand tightening around the shard again.

The warning was obvious.

“Aren’t you?” Mike stepped closer, recalling what Vance had told him. He’d said that although Cassia had a sugar daddy, she was still a virgin. Thinking about that, he couldn’t wait to devour her.

“Don’t worry. I have plenty of experience with women. I’ll make sure your first time feels good.”

Mike smiled, revealing yellow teeth.

“All right, I can tell you’re stalling for time. I don’t have time for this. Drop what’s in your hand.”

After he spoke, he saw that Cassia still refused to let go of the shard.

His patience snapped.

“I told you to drop the shard! Are you

deaf?”

With that, he reached out toward her with both hands.

“You’re already at your limit. Let me help you. Don’t be scared, it won’t hurt a bit. Be a good girl. Let’s get down to business first, then we can talk about our feelings later.”

Cassia’s hand hurt so much she could barely lift it, but her eyes remained sharp as she watched at his approaching hands. She looked at him, as if he were already a dead man.

“If you touch me, I’ll make the Wilcox Group go bankrupt right away!”

Meeting her gaze, Mike felt a sudden chill in his chest.

Looking closer, her expression was cold and filled with killing intent.

He had seen that same sharp, murderous look once before–on the face of his late wife, the one he had strangled to death.

“You little bitch! How dare you threaten me?”

With a curse, Mike lunged at her.

Cassia’s mind cleared for a split second. She locked onto him, gripping the shard and pouring all her remaining strength into her hand.

This was her final chance. She didn’t know how much damage she could do with what strength she had left.

Mike grabbed her shoulders and forcefully shoved her down onto the couch.

The moment he touched her, Cassia swung with everything she had, aiming the shard straight at his eyes.

Mike caught her wrist midair, then grabbed her other wrist as well, forcing both arms above her head.

He tore off his tie and used it to bind her wrists tightly. Then, he pressed his full weight down on top of her.
