She slowly opened it and darkness immediately emerged on her which doubled her nervousness. She took a little step towards the darkroom when the lights suddenly came on that surprised her. She even shrieked out of surprise and then took a step back.

Only her head peeked into the room while her body remains on the outside of the room.

What if that stranger was a killer? At least, she won't have a hard time running.

She looked around the room and was surprised again to see the man that approached him in the hospital.

Its eyes were closed as he leaned against the wall just beside the door. And just like her reaction at the hospital yesterday, she once again admired the young man's good looks and handsomeness.

Every part of its face was perfect. From its smooth forehead, perfectly shaped eyebrows, sharp nose to its thick but reddish lips.

Damn! He has the most kissable lips she has ever seen in her entire life.

"Are you just gonna stare at me all day?"
 She was startled by its sudden utterance. "What? You thought that I was sleeping?" The man opened his eyes and his face went into where she was standing then he stared at her. Their eyes met, which made her heart beat fast. "I was waiting for you." He continued.

She found herself speechless. She could not come up with the right word that she could say to the man. His intense gaze is distracting her.

He straightened his body so that they could face each other. His eyes were cold yet it was full of intensity while he was staring at her. He is also very tall compared to her height. At the age of nineteen, she was 5'8 in height which she inherited from her mother. And if she would estimate it, the man is about 6'2 in height.

"Come on in, young lady. I hate wasting my time." Even his voice was cold that it made her shiver.

He went into the table beside his very spacious bed and pour some wine on the two glasses resting on the table which she did not even notice.

Even though she is nervous, she still entered the room. She would not have planned to close the door if the man had not just spoken. "Close the door and lock it." He said through his authoritative voice.

Her hand trembled as she followed its wishes. The moment the door clicked, he averted his intense gaze on her and because she could not cope with the excessive tension caused by its eyes, she bowed her head.

She remained unmoving, not knowing what to do until she heard his footsteps coming towards her causing her to panic. Every step of its feet towards her, she would also retreat until her back felt the hard and cold door causing her to be cornered by the man.

Rafael's palm rested above her head while its free arm snaked around her small waist.

She sucked her breath. Their bodies were only inches apart that she could smell his addictive perfume scent. Then she felt his lips slightly touching her ear. "You're thinking too much. Relax, I won't hurt you." He whispered using his soothing voice but because of its slender arm around her waist, she still could not calm down.

"L-let me go." She softly said.

Rafael moved his face away from her but its arm remained on her waist.

Rafael stared at her, his thumb tracing her poreless checks down to her lower lip that she was biting unconsciously. "You're scared, aren't you?" He asked and because that is the truth, she just decided not to answer him and just tried to avoid having eye contact with him.

Rafael stared at her for a few seconds before finally letting her go. It was only then that she breathed a sigh of relief.

Rafael went back to the table and took the two glasses where he poured wine then he went back to her and gave her the glass. She hesitated for a moment but when she stared at Rafael's dark, cold and icy eyes, she reluctantly took the wine.

Rafael went back to the table and sat in a chair that she did not even notice. Well, the guy caught all of her attention that she no longer paid attention to other things. Unsure of what to do, she remained standing near the door, holding the glass of wine.

"Take a seat, Ms.Smith, and let us talk about the help that I could give you and your little brother."

She gulped first before following what Rafael said.

She sat down in a chair that is in front of where Ashton is sitting and put down her glass on the table.

She put her palms over her thigh then bowed down. She couldn't stand the hot and icy stares the man was giving her.

"Look at me. I want you to look at me while we were talking." That is not a request but a command.

Biting her lower lip, she met Rafael's eyes. Ashton looked at her lips and she saw how lust clouded his eyes. She felt uncomfortable so to finish what they should discuss, she voluntarily opened up about the help Rafael could provide her, or if he really could help.

She's not a fool. She knew that he had a hidden agenda and based on how he looks at her, she knew immediately what he wanted in return for the help he would give her.

"Mr. Standford," she began. "I'm here about what you said at the hospital yesterday. You said you could help me."

She thanked the heavens that she did not stutter as she spoke even though she was so nervous.

"Yes, yes." He said before sipping wine on his glass.

After he put down the goblet, he put his hands on his crossed legs which she found very sexy.

She secretly scolded herself.

How could she think of those things knowing that the man in front of her is dangerous? Very dangerous.

"And since you came, I assume you are interested in my offer." Even his cold voice is very sexy.

She wanted to slap herself for thinking those things.

She nodded in response to what Rafael said.

He smirked. "Good." He leans his back on the chair and crossed his arms on his chest. "This is what I can offer you, Ms.Smith. I will be providing everything that your brother needed for his medication. I'll transfer him to an expensive and most advanced hospital here in our country and of course, he will be taken care of by the professionals and the best doctors this world can offer. " What Rafael said finally got her attention. Just what she needed to alleviate her brother's suffering. "Also, I will be giving you a condo unit where you can stay since you don't have a decent place to stay. I will also send you to a University, you can take any course that you want and make your dreams come true and of course, I'll be giving you a 30,000 allowance per month. "

Michelle suddenly felt dizzy by what Rafael said.

His offers were so tempting that she just wanted to say yes right away.

"I can give you everything, Ms.Smith. Everything. There's only one thing that you have to do for me. Only one thing and you'll have everything that you desire."

Just like what she thought. Everything has a price.

Who is a sensible person today that would help someone he doesn't even know?

"And w-what is it?"

Even though she already knew the answer to that question, she still wanted to hear it from the man himself.

Rafael moved his chair and brought his face closer to hers. Suddenly, she felt suffocated.

"Be my bedwarmer. Be my lover." Rafael said that made her suck her breath.
