Pages : 215
Book Description
I had no intention of being a mistress at that time, I was stuck with a mistake that I made unconsciously. The man offered me to be the woman to satisfy his lust. I accepted it, because I was afraid of my boss at the time. Also, I didn't want to involve my parents in my problem. I can't think straight, let alone think about the risks. Living with the sabotage of men who pretend to help, is not easy. I seem to have died. Everyone pressured me into making that mistake. I have to take responsibility. There is no way to escape or cancel the bid. He treats me the way he wants. I just accept fate or rather, surrender. -Shaina-
