Suddenly, a pair of strong hands hugged her waist and pulled her into a warm chest. A waft of faint mint fragrance drifted into her nostrils, which made her somewhat fascinated.

Before she could move, the door of the reading room had been closed tightly by Nigel. At this moment, romance filled the distance between the two of them. His tall body slammed her against the wall, their breath entwined. It was the first time that Janiya had been so close with a strange man. She was too scared to gasp for air, but stared at the man in front of her.

The air around them seemed to have become solid, time stopped. She could clearly hear the thumping heartbeats of them.

"It seems that you’re not as brave as I think." Nigel spoke first, bring her back to reality.

Well, Janiya was a woman after all. No matter how hard she tried to push away the man in front of her, he stayed perfectly still but pressed her tightly against the wall. In the end, she screamed " I can’t breathe! "

Nigel finally let go of her, then said, "Didn’t you hear the maid say, you can’t come inside, why would you act so rude?"

"Nigel. I don’t have time to play charade with you. Why would you cancel my lease privately? Where did you get my personal information? And what did Mammy Zhang mean of getting married? "Janiya put forward a series of questions. Since she has delivered all her problems of today, she might as well figure them all out." I don't remember anything about wedding in our contract! "

"What good does it do me to answer your questions?" Nigel crossed his hands around his chest, looking at Janiya in his idleness.

She sneered and said, "Are you not afraid that I won't put on the show with you? Are you going to push me to do it?"

Nigel nodded and said: "Well, I will not only force you, but I can even capture your mother, and send her to prison for the rest of her life under whatever charges. Do you want to give it a shot? "

"You……"

Janiya glared at the devil-like man in front of her. Though she has grew up to be strong enough after years of struggle, she didn’t expect that she still couldn’t counter him, the sly old fox.

Although her mother couldn't fulfill her duty as a good mother, she couldn’t never forget she for giving birth to and raising her. Even if she hated her mother, she couldn’t really watch he sent her to prison.

Most importantly, she had no idea what else he knew about her.

At this moment, Janiya felt that she was as clean as a blank sheet of paper in front of him, he could see right through her.

"Janiya. Do remember to keep a way open for retreat. As you are inexperienced to confront others, just turn around."

Janiya squinted her eyes slightly and looked at Nigel. His words made her feel a little diffident, for she thought he must mean something else.

Retreat ... Could she still have a way to retreat?

She even considered Nigel as her only backup plan.

"First, you just need to know that I know everything. No matter it was before, now, or in the future. Do you think it's difficult to investigate your background?" Nigel walked to the table, and took out a piece of paper from his desktop, which dotted with words. He read it to her, "Janiya, the daughter of Joshua Qi, now a déclass princess. Your father’s company went bankruptcy, and he jumped to his death. Your mother sent you to an orphanage before she remarried... "

"Enough!" While Janiya heard this, her body couldn't help shaking.

It was a nightmare for her, she didn't want to bring it up again, nor was forced to recollect.

Nigel looked at Janiya who was a little angry. So he put down the paper on the table, rammed his hands into his pockets, watched her saying, "To put on a show....of course you should move in and live with me. As for the wedding, there is one provision in the contract....that I have the final right of interpretation. "

She knew that she fell into Nigel’ brilliant trap, she could not find any flaws. In the end, she said, "Are we....going to register?"

"Of course." Nigel shrugged, pretending to be innocent.

"Don't play word games with me. You are so influential that it’s easy for you to get rid of this kind of things." said Janiya through gritted teeth.

"If we have a nice thing going on, I don't think it will be difficult."

Nigel really took a drastic measure, he once again gave the choice back to her. Obviously, he have made his point, the opportunity was in her hands.

So don’t blame her.

"I would like a grand ceremony. I don't want my wedding to be mediocre." After that, Janiya flipped her long black hair and left the study room.

She enjoyed the process of playing against the talented. Since he liked acting so much, how could she refuse!

At night, the stars were scattered across the dark sky, shining little bit of starlight, making the night sky less lonely. S City was a bit sultry in summer. Outside the window, the cicadas called away in the trees, because they knew that their chance of life was only at this instant.

For Janiya, she was just like the cicada in the trees; she knew that behind her a deep dark chasm laid below, she had no choice but jumped. Maybe this abyss was where made her a phoenix rising from the ashes ?

She sighed, recollecting all things happened all the way through; but found that she was always under the sway of others, helpless and hateful. She didn’t know when was the end of such days.

A muffled sound interrupted her train of thought. She had a peep at the phone on the nightstand. At this moment, the black screen turned bright. She looked more closely, it was an unread message from a unfamiliar cell phone numbers.

Sure enough, she knew who sent this message, there were few people knew her phone number, and no one would send her message except for Nigel.

As expected, she switched on the phone. Looking at the text, she smiled sarcastically as she leaned against the wall.

"Don’t worry about your work. When you come back, everything is yours."

It turned out that all things happened today were his scheme.
