I am not a damsel but I am in distress

"Go, home mother. My business has nothing to do with you." Her tone is helpless but firm with clear indifference. She dared to talk back, not because she has courage but because she will just make the best out of it, she just accepted the fact that she'll be black and blue again soon.

"What did you just say, you, insolent woman?! Come here let me give you a lesson in front of this man, you will perfectly understand who gave birth to you! Come..." But chunks of beef and grease scatter all over her mouth. Shame is too expensive for her mother to own, leaving her with zero dignity at all. Chelsea doubted if her mother treated her and Ethan as humans at all.

She rushed towards her and twisted Chelsea's ear with her fingers, Amanda Wan is not an easy woman. Her eyes were furious, compelling her daughter to submit at once. Gregory on the other is taken aback by the scene in front of him, he immediately pulled Chelsea away from the woman she called mother.

"Get away you scum! Let me teach her a lesson, you ungrateful wrench!" Amanda's fierce claws were aggressively reaching out on Chelsea's thin and weak body.

Due to humiliation, Chelsea was unable to move, not to mention that she is scared of that monster of a mother, she wonders if she ever had a maternal instinct. Nor a drop of oxytocin, that kind of chemical inside the brain that made mammals love their offspring.

Chelsea in a trance was brought into a hotel's suit by Gregory, her mother was sent away by the hotel's security. He gave her a glass of water to calm her down. She sat down on the suite's luxurious lounge chair while chanting hateful words towards her mother.

"Shameless wh**re, stupid bi*ch, psychotic woman, uncaring mother, materialistic person, dirty pig! Heaven's damned individual, Satan's wife, Lilith's incarnation!"

Although a little bit concerned about her situation, Gregory can't help getting amused with this girl's coping capability, she's cursing her mother like saying the unholy rosary to a satanic virgin. He can't help but give out a low chuckle.

"I know, pathetic right." She thought he was mocking her and can't stop her tears from falling, she is fu*ing tired. She lied down and closed her eyes. Covered herself with the pillow and poured out all her emotions in it.

"Hey..." he rushed down and hugged her. "That's not what I meant. He never thought that there would come a day that he will give all his best to coax a crying woman. She stroked her hair while hearing her heart wrenching muffled cry.

"That's okay, I'm here okay? Don't cry...shhh"

He kissed her head like coaxing a baby. He didn't even know why he did that. Chelsea felt the kiss and there was a tingling feeling rushed down her head down to her toes. The tingling sensation is coupled with a thundering of her heart. It made her body feel so light like floating in the air, her body is so relaxed and vulnerable.

He got her back..that felt nice..perhaps this situation has ignited the carnal sin of the flesh and the devil had thrown a certain degree of fire just enough for them to feel passionate through the unintentional rubbing of their bodies. Also, she can't deny her attraction. They stared at each other and said nothing.

Chelsea thought Gregory looks is what the Chinese described as phoenix eyes, slanted but with double eyelids. His lashes are even longer than hers, his face has a perfect symmetry Koreans would describe him as a face genius. His eyebrows made him look dangerous and cunning, very imposing and majestic and his lips... it was lowered to cover her mouth, so natural like magnet's polar opposite that can't help but stick to each other. How can the law of attraction be compared to the law of gravity? But that's not even important right now, she thought, it is so sweet, so good, mind-boggling and very very addicting, she felt really good the kiss made her forget she's a teenager or that she has that impending issue at home, that she's still in school, and things like this are not allowed yet, damn! she even forgot who she is and where she's at.

How can a kiss affect her senses so much? Probably because the one kissing her is not human. She gave out a soft giggle about how silly she can be, is it possible to be kissed by immortals? She even felt so much better when his lips moved on her neck, the tingling sensation in her abdomen intensified that she can't help but give out a very very soft moan. It's as if pleased with what he just heard he kissed her more passionately with sounds so lewd.

Her mind is too busy enjoying everything that is going on to care. Just then she realized what was happening. This is foreplay to sex, if he won't stop it will lead to a disaster. But she on the other hand is too carried away, that she didn't have enough mental strength to stop him.

But then Gregory used all his willpower to stop, and it weakened his physical strength significantly, he knew what he is doing to her is not right either, but he is battling freewill and Fate's spell.

This is possibly the most irresponsible thing he did in this lifetime.

Probably because Chelsea is too tired of her life thus she just slumps on the bed and lets sleep takeover, satiated with that naughty, naughty kiss. He lay down and hugged her from the back. It's like touching and smelling that forbidden fruit.

Gregory decided to let her sleep for a while and planned to feed her later, her body is still developing so she needs enough nourishment. She's too thin to even bear a child. Why he is even thinking about making her pregnant is beyond his normal comprehension.

Gregory shuffled his head in kind of frustration, why is he obsessed with this girl, there must be some kind of explanation for a mortal girl to have power over his decisions.

His phone buzzing took him out of his bedazzled state. A lady on the other line is urging her to come back, his father is dying and he has to take over the business.

"Got it. And Cynthia I would need you to do something for me please."

Never did Chelsea expect that she'll be a Cinderella in real life.

She didn't even care just now, she just wanted to sleep in this very comfortable bed that she never has slept in before.
