CHAPTER 1

I stood frozen in front of the bar for a few minutes, where my friends were waiting for me. It’s almost midnight, so the air was a little chilly, especially with the kind of dress they asked me to wear for the night.

The dress left my shoulders bare. Instead, it’s supported around my neck and fell into a lovely square neckline. It’s a tight fit which made the dress seem sleek and sophisticated. The sleeves started loose and tightened towards the bottom, making a perfect match with the hue of my ivory complexion. The dress' waist was tiny, yet it's a nice fit. It's not ornamented with anything to produce an elegant, flowing effect.

I wore a stiletto because it was a great fit for my outfit, and to top it all, I also wore a basic yet fashionable and gorgeous bracelet. Before taking a step forward, I took a deep breath to calm down my nerves. It wasn’t my first time walking into a bar because of my previous job, but it was definitely my first time picking a random man from the bar who could spend the night with me.

“Good evening, Madame,” the bouncer greeted me as soon as he saw me approaching the door, and I just smiled at him. Then, he immediately closed the door after letting me in. I could smell a mix of various fragrances in the air, and the noise was deafening. I craned my neck to look for my friends, and when I found them, I immediately walked towards their way.

“I thought you would not come, Krystal!”

I snorted at Khloe’s statement and asked, “Why did you think so?”

“Because it’s not your style to sleep with a random man or even a stranger,” Khloe replied.

“I am glad that you are aware of that, Khloe, but isn’t it your idea why I’m here tonight?”

“Yeah, of course. Are you scared? Common, Krystal, you’re already twenty-eight, and at your age, you’re still a virgin,” she whispered the last part.

“I know. So, did you find someone cute here?” I asked, and for a moment, they just stared at me as if they couldn’t believe the words coming out of my mouth.

“You still have a chance to back out,” Amelia said before sipping her cocktail drink.

“Look, this is already terrifying, so please stop scaring me, Amelia! You are not helping at all,” I scolded the woman for trying to scare me. “Tonight, I am going to get laid,” I declared, and they all looked at me in amazement.

“I may be out of line, but I am worried about you, Krystal. Since your mother is already dead, she will never know if you are going to sell the resort,” Khloe suggested.

“I promised her that I won’t sell it after she’s gone,” I replied. “So, have you found someone to my liking?”

“Over there,” Amelia used her eyes to point the target. “He’s alone, and he appeared lonely. It’s perfect timing to flirt with him because he’s feeling down.”

I nodded my head in agreement because I couldn’t risk missing the chance of getting pregnant in one attempt. Tomorrow, I had to go back to the South, where my mother’s resort was located, and I had to live there for the time being, together with my future child.

“Are you sure he’s good looking?” I asked both Khloe and Amelia.

“Shhhh, he is looking this way,” Amelia whispered, and I took it as a chance to have a glimpse of him. I glanced at the target, and to be honest, he seemed to be in good shape and was really handsome. The guy was tall, and his long hair was tied in an untidy bun. Since I always had a thing for men with long hair, I was immediately drawn into him.

“Oh God,” I exclaimed when he caught me staring at him. “He has a beautiful set of eyes!”

“I think he has a foreign blood in him, just like you, Krystal,” Khloe pointed out something obvious.

Just like most maidens in the South, my mother fell in love with a tourist with blue eyes. After flirting for a couple of hours, they decided to make love under the moonlight, and nine months later, I was born into the world, but the man with blue eyes bailed on my mother and abandoned us. It was not easy for her, but she did a good job in raising me.

“He’s attractive, isn’t he? Just look at his tanned skin, and those eyes could surely melt the ice in your heart, Krystal.”

“Khloe, I am not an ice princess or whatever you imagined me to be. If I remained a virgin until now, it was my choice. Do you think he can impregnate me with just one session?”

“If I’ll be able to take that man into my bed, then it will never be a single session, Krystal. It’s going to be a night of endless pleasure,” Khloe said dreamily, and I could shake my head in disbelief that she had been fantasizing about the man who was going to give me a child.

When I gazed at him for a second time, I caught him staring as well. As soon as possible, I shifted my focus on the cocktail drink that my friends had ordered for me and sipped it quickly. It was bitter, and I cursed out loud before glaring at Khloe and Amelia. They just laughed at my expense, so I frowned at them.

“Go!” Amelia said, and Khloe seconded to it.

“Right now?”

“Yes. Go now before that bitch could steal him from you,” they whispered, and when I glanced in his direction, I saw a woman who was smiling seductively while trying to get his attention.

“Is that the only man you found for me?”

“There are several others, but he stood out, so please, Krystal, don’t waste your chance tonight. Go and secure the target,” they suggested.
