COMPLETED

His business rivals drugged a cold-hearted and handsome CEO, and the medicine intoxicated his whole body. The only way to cure him is through sexual contact. He went to the hospital to have his antidote, and a young nursing student who substituted someone to save this mysterious man fell into his trap. The ordeal lasted for three nights in a row. 

The man disappeared like he never existed before. After how many years, while she gradually discovers the mystery of her father's death, they meet again. For four years, he barely slept through full nights, and he developed severe insomnia caused by the drug.

Accidentally, he accused her of being a thief. He captured and imprisoned her; however, vague memories of the scent and woman's body that served him during his struggling moment keeps haunting him. The smell of her body is like magic, gradually calming his restless nerve and making him sleep. 

He possessed her immediately and promised not to let her go the time he laid his eyes on her. He discovered she is the same woman who had become his antidote that night, yet he concealed the truth because she strives to flee away from him. No wonder he got a sense of déjà vu when he first saw her and smelled her fragrance. No wonder he was so enamored by her and her body. It turns out that she's the woman he often dreams about, the first significant woman in his life. The woman he is longing for and his beautiful nightmare.

He fell in love with her and does all means to make her his wife. She wanted her freedom, and she refused him several times. The painful memory of the past keeps haunting her, and she promised to take revenge on a man who assaulted her four years ago. 
Would she fall in love with the man who takes advantage of her that night? Does the mysterious man, love at first sight, will change their fate? How long could he stand against her hatred to win her trust and love?



Special Note: If you are looking for a sweet contemporary-romance genre, this novel doesn't have that kind of plot. Most plots of my novel talk about mystery, suspense, and a slice of life. Often FL starts a slow pace of development, from weak to strong.

Memories of the Night

Irene's response makes Claire pause. There seems to be an implication behind her words. At the realization, Claire relaxes.


After all, Marcellus just broke up with Katrina. He is drunk and fragile. If Irene takes care of him tonight, he might see her in a new light.


Claire is also an adult. She knows the possibilities and consequences of letting Irene stay and take care of Marcellus.


She has been rooting for Irene for a long time. This would be a good opportunity for them to develop their relationship. Hopefully, after tonight, Marcellus will finally end up with Irene.


With that in mind, Claire doesn't feel guilty about manipulating Marcellus at all. She nods quickly in assent. "Thank you. I'm sorry to bother you like this," she says, hastily leaving to give them some privacy.


After Claire leaves, Irene makes her way to Marcellus's room.


That night, Marcellus dreams that Katrina gets back together with him.
