Chapter 1: Sold
She was exhausted. Her body aches all over. She looked at the other side of the bed and saw the man beside her, sleeping quietly.
She gritted her teeth. She surrendered her body to the man she hated the most.
He was the heir of Cross Realty Corporation, Andrew Cross. Their company buys lands both legally and illegally. His father wanted to develop the area where her family’s business was located. They already got everything except her family’s ramen shop.
They never agreed to sell the shop to them, especially her. It was the only memory her grandmother left with them. Her parents worked hard to take care of the business when her grandmother died of leukemia. The business was there for generations. She wouldn’t allow anyone to get it from them. However, a few months ago, Cross Realty started to buy the lands in the area. They said it was to develop the place around Northbay City Mall.
She met Andrew for the first time when he tried to persuade them to sell the shop. Their first meeting wasn’t that nice. He’s arrogant and so full of himself.
"Five million dollars. We’ll buy it!" He said.
"No! Never!" She answered.
"Your place doesn’t really cost that much but I’m already giving you a huge amount. Consider it as a reward from me." He said, smirking.
She really hated him so she went to the kitchen and threw water to his face.
"We will never agree to sell the shop! Over my dead body!"
