Chapter 55 She Is Worth 100 Million Dollars
In Luke's words, Hiram was cursed. Hiram wasn't confused about his sexual orientation and he didn't have any physiological diseases. He just didn't find women attractive or even think of having sex with them. No matter how sexy or gorgeous they were, in his eyes, they were like boiled water, nothing special
- except her.
He remembered that night when Rachel was sick. He had taken care of her so wholeheartedly that he didn't notice anything strange in his body. It wasn't until he slept at his parents' house with Rachel that he noticed how turned on he was.
The feeling was just so strong and powerful that he couldn't resist it.
It made him think that he had recovered, but then he found out that he still couldn't have any feelings for other women.
And it was at this time that he realized
That the centennial engagement was, in essence, a limitation. Rachel was the only woman he could be with in his whole life.
Rachel stared into Hiram's eyes. She knew that there were many things bothering him but she couldn't figure out any of them.
However, if she ever came to know her true value to him in the future, she would definitely regret asking for such a small sum of money!
This was kind of her private money. She was thinking about counting on it when she ran away from Hiram's mansion.
"Why do you keep swaying your hands? I can see that." Hiram was quite speechless about her behavior. The way she kept doing it made him feel like he wasn't in the room.
"Words once said can't be taken back! Hiram, remember what you said! I will sleep with you this month. But you can never take back your money!" Rachel pressed, afraid that he would go back on his words. His reply was unexpected.
"Nope, not only this month. You have to sleep with me for the rest of your life." Hiram smirked. He had something planned in his head. Who told her that it was only for a month?
One million dollars for a month? He was a businessman. Why would he agree to such a bad deal?
"Hiram, you didn't say that before!" Rachel's smile faded. She felt like no matter what she did, she would eventually fall into his trap.
"Oh, didn't I? Okay, let's make it clear now." Hiram smiled at her, lying in a cozy position. He looked Rachel up and down before saying, "Since I've already paid you, isn't it time for you to do your duty?" Rachel was standing at the bedside. Feeling Hiram's desire for her, she stepped back. "Alright, so you ask me to sleep with you my whole life, which means that the divorce agreement is no longer valid. Is that right?"
"You're thinking too much. They're two different things. Whether we get a divorce or not, you're mine. That's not gonna change." Hiram blinked innocently.
It was just like
Getting her was different from teaching her to obey him.
"What do you mean? What if I, I just return the money, is that okay?" Somehow, Rachel felt that no matter how hard she tried to negotiate with him, she still wouldn't have a chance of getting the upper hand. "Are you willing to give up the money?" Hiram asked her.
Rachel stood straight without responding. 'We'll see,' she thought. She had just gotten the money and hadn't had it for even a day. How could she possibly give it back?
Moreover, she and Hiram hadn't even had a wedding before their marriage was registered. She didn't get her bride price.
This amount of money was nothing to the super rich Rong family.
She would take it as her bride price!
"Come here," Hiram said to Rachel, patting the place beside him.
Standing as far as she could from him, Rachel hesitated. But just then, something occurred to her, so she walked quickly to him, lay down beside him and put her arms around him.
"Wow, I didn't know money would have such an effect on you. It really can make you well-behaved, " Hiram said appreciatively. He smelled her perfume and kissed her hair. Then he put his hands around her waist.
Just when he was about to kiss Rachel, his lips were covered by a small hand.
"First of all, of course money has such an effect. Why do you think I work so hard everyday? Second, I'm on my period. I'm afraid I can't do my duty today. I guess someone might have to wait for a few days!" Rachel smiled sweetly and winked at Hiram.
Hiram's face turned gloomy. Gritting his teeth and pinching her face lightly, he said, "Rachel, I really want to kill you!"
He stood up and went into the bathroom.
Rachel lay on her side and clutched the bed sheet. Resting her head on her hands, she thought of this sexually attractive man whose need couldn't be satisfied. She was quite satisfied, though. While he was taking a shower, she took a glance outside the window. It was still early.
Rachel stood up from the bed and put on a light blue long dress with floral prints on it. It was Bohemian style. She paired it with a hat and went to the seaside for a walk.
It was approaching dusk. The scenery at the seaside was breath-taking.
Rachel took off her flip-flops and walked on the soft sand towards the seaside.
"Hello, Celine, I didn't think you would call me. You got off work already?" Rachel was wearing a handset and holding her cell phone so she could enjoy the beautiful view as she talked to Celine. "Of course I would call you. You marriage is now Team A's top priority!" Celine said on the other end of the phone line.
Rachel immediately halted to a stop. "Celine, come on! Did you talk about my marriage to the whole company?"
"Calm down, Rachel. You have no idea about how surprised everyone was when Mr. Rong came to visit our company! Besides, all the other members in our team keep asking me about you. I, I have no choice!"
Celine sounded terribly sorry. Their colleagues kept pestering her. Women asked her in the bathrooms and men asked her in the corridors. What else could she do?
"Anyway, here's the thing. After Mr. Rong visited our company, your marriage stopped being a secret! Now, tell me something important. Is there any progress between you and him?" Celine brought up another topic that she was actually interested in.
Rachel stared at the white cloud which looked like a large marshmallow in the sky. "Well, actually, there is some progress. I've kind of become rich..."
Rachel told her the whole story, and Celine was really impressed. One million dollars! For God's sake! Why was God so unfair! If she got one million dollars, she would do whatever Hiram asked her to do! "Listen to me, Rachel, just use that money any way you want! You two are a couple. Whether you call it your money or his money, his fortune is yours in essence. Isn't it?"
Rachel couldn't help laughing. She squatted down and picked up a seashell. "I don't know, Celine. I don't really think we're that close."
"Well, I don't know how good your relationship is, but what I do know is that Hiram is a businessman. Since he promised to give you that money, I think he wouldn't make a bad bargain. I believe, deep down, he has already accepted you as his wife, and that's why he doesn't care about how much money he gives to you,
Celine explained to Rachel.
There was a saying that daughters and wives needed to be pampered luxuriously. Mr. Rong seemed to understand that very well.
Another thing to think about was that Hiram had given Rachel one million dollars without thinking of it as a big deal. So even if other men gave Rachel tens of millions of dollars, Rachel would probably reject them without hesitation, Because she had already seen the world.
Every time Celine helped her analyze the situation, Rachel had mixed feelings about it. It was true that the person involved in a situation could never see as clearly as those who were on the outside looking in.
"As for the divorce agreement, just forget about it. I can guarantee you that even though Hiram wanted to submit it in the past, he isn't gonna submit it when your marriage expires."
Celine was having a great conversation with Rachel, and had no idea that
They were being eavesdropped by someone... [
