His kisses, his touches made her feel a certain way. A way she had never felt with any other man.

She let her eyes open and stared blankly at the ceiling. She silently wondered. 'Do I really hate him?'

She had long ago given up struggling with this man. Her struggling would only provoke him to do more. The harder she pushed him away, the closer he pulled her to him.

She tried her best to ignore his hands that were wandering all over her naked body under the quilt, not letting off an inch of her skin. His wet, ticklish tongue that left a trail of soft kisses along her jawline. But most of all, she tried to ignore the continuous pleasant s.h.i.+vers that were driving her insane. She didn't want to repeat what happened last night.

A single touch of his could send her body on fire. She bit her lips. She didn't want him to find out. If he found out, he would stop at nothing to have her whenever he wanted.

"I hate you" She whispered quietly. Her eyes were blank.

Lu Mingyu paused, looked up and stared into her eyes. "What did you say?." His eyes darkened. His tone held a warning. What were his real emotions, could not be deciphered through his expressionless face. His eyes were cold as ever. His impermeable mask would never be down for once.

She had never said that to his face before. "I hate you." She repeated. this time her voice was louder and clear. However, it was blank, without holding any emotion.

"Do you think I care if something like you hates me or not?" His tone grew harsh. His hold on her wrist tightened to a painful extent however it was still past the threshold where it would leave a mark. "And do not act so pitifully. It was you who started it last night. I warned you to stop but you didn't."

Xu Xinya didn't say a word and stayed in her position unmovingly. She moved her face away, breaking the eye-contact. It was clear she didn't want to communicate.

Abruptly, he let go of her. Giving her a brief glance, he picked up his coat and put it on. "It doesn't matter to me in the slightest if you hate me or not." Without looking at her again, he left the room.

The 'Thud' of the closing door announced that she was alone once again. She sighed and slowly got up.

'He was right. I was the one who started it last night.'

Xu Xinya knew her life would never be the same since the day she caught the eye of this formidable man.

Her life would never be the same since the day she made that grave mistake one year ago when she was nineteen.

Lu Mingyu was the name that chilled countless people to the marrow. No one would ever dare to offend him in their wildest dream.

But her naive self had to do that one year ago.

Xu Xinya was never a fragile, weak girl. Though her looks were innocent and pretty, she was a strong woman. She was not the one to get bullied. No one could ever take advantage of her.

But even then, there was one specific person she should not have messed with.

Exactly one year ago, in a club, late at night, she had seen this man-Lu Mingyu for the first time.

Back then she had thought he was a very handsome man. Though she didn't know his name or ident.i.ty at that time, she had thought of him as a real gentleman. A caring good-natured person. Someone who had a very kind and compa.s.sionate heart

How wrong she was.
