Captive Pleasure

Fang Wu was a top talent agent in the industry. She made an up-and-coming star famous, then helped him change his image and find new opportunities.

He came from an extraordinary background: a century-old aristocratic family, half Chinese and half British, and the head of a top-tier family-run conglomerate.

In a private room, the man's long arm rested lazily over the back of his chair. A luxurious watch circled his wrist, and a cigarette sat between his fingers.

A powerful figure beside him leaned over to light it.

He turned his face slightly. The light traced his sharp features, and transparent glasses sat on his high nose. His eyes were icy, and he carried himself with aloof, noble pride.

As if sensing her gaze, he looked up. Their eyes met, and Fang Wu was stunned!

This man was the one she'd run away from five years ago!

The moment his gaze swept over her, her breathing stopped.

"Long time no see." Huo Ling's deep, pleasing voice struck her heart like thunder.

The top-tier star asked, "Mr. Huo, do you know Wu-Wu?"

Huo Ling's sharp, hawk-like eyes glanced at him, and he replied meaningfully, "You tell me."

At the washbasin, Huo Ling looked at her in the mirror.

"You said you only loved me and would stay with me forever. Have you forgotten?"

Fang Wu guiltily avoided his gaze. "I'm sorry."

"Sorry you used me, body and soul?"

Footsteps suddenly sounded around the corner. Fang Wu grabbed him and pulled him into the women's restroom.

"What are you afraid of?" Huo Ling suddenly seized her waist and pulled her into his arms.

"Has he ever held you like this? You know how good you are at pretending, but did he know how rotten you are in here?" Huo Ling touched her over the heart.

The top-tier star's voice sounded outside the door. Fang Wu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly covered Huo Ling's mouth with her hand.

They were so close that Fang Wu saw the hurt in his eyes and froze. He bit down angrily on her soft fingertip, as if venting his resentment.

"So you know what it feels like to hurt?"

Fang Wu had personally guided her boyfriend to the awards podium.

At the celebration banquet, she stood in the shadow of the hallway when someone behind her grabbed her waist and pinned her against the wall.

Seeing her boyfriend not far away, Fang Wu nearly screamed.

Huo Ling's fingers teased their way to her waist. "Is the rose tattoo still there? Should I tell him I tattooed it on you myself?"

Fang Wu barely dared to breathe. As her heart pounded, she heard him whisper, "Your boyfriend is cheating on you."

Fang Wu looked over. In the dim light, her boyfriend held a trophy in one hand and had his other arm around a popular young actress. They were intimately entwined.

Huo Ling suddenly tightened his grip on her waist. "Kiss me. Get back at him."

In the darkest time of Huo Ling's life, Fang Wu was his only light.

He believed her promises, but she vanished without a trace.

From the moment he saw her again, he used every ruthless means at his disposal to confine her life to his.

She seemed obedient, then ran away again.

Huo Ling searched the whole world for her, and five years later, finally found her again.

He clenched his fists and finally learned how to act obedient.

Under his dark lashes, a twisted, sickly gleam lay hidden. "As long as you don't leave me, this time you can be the one to keep me captive."
