Chapter 1 Sue You For Kidnapping

No matter how thick the curtains were, they couldn't block the morning sunlight. The ingenious villa allowed natural light to filter in.

The sleeping woman turned over and woke up in a daze. A strange man was sleeping in her bed. She was so startled that all her drowsiness vanished.

The man's scent lingered on her. Her whole body ached as if she was hit by a car. Judging by her hangover, she realized what might have happened and instantly sobered up.

The man next to her had fair skin like exquisite porcelain. His eyes were closed, his nose was high, and his lips were as delicate as petals.

He was pale as a ghost, but it didn't affect his handsomeness at all.

Although this man was gorgeous, it was not the time for adoration.

She had a boyfriend. How could she lie in bed with a stranger?

The thought of her fiance made Gracie Ling feel disoriented. She clearly recalled being with her fiance, Frank Lin, last night. Why was she here with this unknown man now?

'Where is Frank anyway?' she thought.

She could only vaguely remember taking a sip of the wine while being watched expectantly by Frank Lin. After that, her world started to sway as she got drunk.

She couldn't recall anything more.

Gracie Ling was still racking her brain about the events of last night while battling a splitting headache when a horrified scream startled her.

There was a young nurse at the door, pushing a trolley. She had come to take Terence Gu's temperature and do a routine check-up the way she did daily. However, he didn't expect to encounter this awkward scene when she pushed the door open today.

"Why did you take off Mr. Gu's clothes?" asked the nurse.

Gracie Ling's face turned red and she hurriedly shook her head while reaching out for her clothes. "No, no...it was not me. It was he who took off my clothes. I don't know what happened..."

"Nonsense! Mr. Gu had a car accident three years ago and was in a coma. How could you be so dissolute and shameless? I don't understand why the Gu family chose a woman like you to be Mrs. Gu!"

the nurse said, blushing with embarrassment and then ran out of the room.

The nurse's statement confused Gracie Ling further.

She didn't want to delve into it. Right now she was planning to leave this place.

In the simple and neat courtyard of the villa

"I've told you that I'm not Mrs. Gu or Grace Lin. I'm Gracie Ling. G-R-A-C-I-E L-I-N-G. You've mistaken me for someone else.

I have a fiance. Believe me, this is a mix-up.

Let me out! If you don't let me out, I will call the police and sue you for kidnapping!"

Gracie Ling struggled to get to the gate, which was blocked by a tall bodyguard who was like a human shield.

It was not the first time that she was caught trying to escape early in the morning. She had jumped into the lake in the courtyard, people thought she was going to commit suicide. The next time, she had climbed over a wall. And this time, she was caught trying to escape from a hole in a wall.

Carter Gu rubbed his forehead. He had been the butler of the Gu family for many years, but he had never met a woman who could create so much trouble.

This noisy scene was being witnessed by a man standing upstairs. There was unspeakable loneliness in his heart.

The room he was standing in was European-styled with a thick, white carpet on the floor.

The dashing, tall guy stood surveying the scuffle below from the grand French window. He exuded nobility and elegance in his simple white shirt.

He was facing the courtyard.

He couldn't hear the hustle and bustle downstairs, but from this vantage, he could tell what was happening.

It had been three years since he last saw her. He thought he would feel nothing when they met again.

But he didn't know why his heart still ached so badly now.

This woman could always cause the deadliest harm to him so effortlessly.

He wanted to ask her why, but he was afraid that he would be heartbroken by her answer.

The door opened and Alfred Lu walked in leisurely, wearing a doctor's gown with his hands in the pockets. When he saw Terence Gu's pale face, his expression changed slightly.

"Terence, do you want to die? You have just recovered. I told you that you can't open the window or you might catch a cold again. And why are you out of bed?"

Terence Gu didn't answer and looked away indifferently.

Alfred Lu quickly went to close the window and saw what was happening downstairs. He immediately understood what was happening.

Then he followed Terence Gu to the bedroom and helped him lie down like he was a puppet. His angular and delicate face was devoid of expression. There was no emotion in his beautiful black eyes.

Alfred Lu was a good friend to Terence Gu before the car accident and he was also his attending doctor after the car accident.

He knew exactly how Terence Gu had survived in the past three years.

Seeing the woman who was to blame, Alfred Lu felt sorry for his friend. After Terence Gu lay down, he sighed and said, "Terence, I didn't want to blame you. But why are you asking for trouble? Don't you know that life's too short?

Have you forgotten how she treated you three years ago? If you are unhappy with her, why do you have her sent here?"

There was still no emotion on Terence Gu's face. He closed his eyes and kept silent.

It drove Alfred Lu crazy to see him like this. He waved his fist in frustration but didn't dare to do anything to Terence Gu. After all, Terence had just recovered and he couldn't afford to hurt him.

"If you can't bear to lay a hand on her, I'll help you get rid of her right now."

As the words left his mouth, Alfred Lu felt a frosty aura emanating from Terence Gu. He turned away to avoid facing him.

"How dare you touch her!"

As his back was toward Terence Gu, Alfred Lu couldn't see his expression but he could make out he had angered his friend from his cold tone and harsh words.

Alfred Lu stopped and didn't dare to look back. Holding the doorknob, he said in a strange tone, "Mr. Gu, I won't touch her. I'll go downstairs and ask Carter to calm down, and take good care of Miss Ling."

Then he opened the door and exited, closing the door angrily on his way out. He didn't understand why Terence Gu was acting as if there was nothing wrong after the way that woman had treated him three years ago. Terence Gu didn't allow anyone to touch her, nor did he let her leave. What was he planning to do with this woman?
