Steal A Stony Heart

Blood! There was so much blood!

In a panic, Lily Lv tried to open her door with all her might, constantly glancing back to look around.

"Someone help -- !" Before she scream out, a hand tightly covered her mouth, and she was dragged deeper into the room.

There was a dead man on the ground beside her. His eyes were wide open as he stared lifelessly at Lily Lv.

Three or four men stood around the corpse. From the looks of it, they were obviously gangsters.

Lily Lv shivered in fear, her skin and lips as pale as a sheet.

"How was she able to break in? Wasn't someone guarding the entrance?"

A deep voice suddenly sounded in the room. Lily Lv gingerly looked over and saw a cold and domineering face. A gun was in the man's hand, presumably the weapon that was used to murder the guy who was now lifeless on the floor.

No one dared to speak. For a while, only Lily's shallow breathing could only be heard.

"P-please... I..." Lily stammered, "I didn't see anything."

Slowly, she started to back away from the man with the gun. Unfortunately, she did not realize that she was about to trip over the body on the ground.

Losing her footing, she closed her eyes and braced herself to land directly on top of the corpse. However, strong arms suddenly wrapped around her waist, catching her just in time.

As she was held against the man's chest, she couldn't help but lean in closer.

The warmth from his body just felt so nice and comfortable.

Jack stiffened at how soft and supple her skin was.

Lowering his head, he squinted at the woman in his arms. The woman had big, bright eyes that had a trace of both innocence and fear.

Meanwhile, Lily just tightly clung onto the man like an octopus, completely oblivious to Jack's unusually pale face.

"Come on! Let's clean up this place quickly!"

one of the men in the room said. As the others started to dispose the body, Jack took Lily to the next room.

"Hah... I want..." Lily wriggled desperately. At this moment, it looked as if she was no longer thinking straight. With her face flushed pink, she threw herself at the man as soon as he closed the door.

"Get off!" Jack said through his teeth as he pushed her away. Looking at the makeup running down her tear-stricken face, he couldn't help but sneer. "Go away!"

Right now, he was so exhausted, and no longer had the energy to deal with this woman.

"No! I... want..."

Rubbing her eyes in a daze, Lily knew that there was something wrong going on in her body -- it felt much too hot and tingly!

'The wine I drank at my ex's wedding...

Bonnie, you bitch...' she thought faintly as she started to make sense what was happening to her.

It was obvious to her now that she had been drugged. The effects were now getting stronger on her as she could barely control her actions anymore. Being against Jack's cold body was the best possible remedy for her at the moment.

Lily pounced on him, her eyes brimming with tears. Not being able to handle it anymore, she decided to just get straight to the point.

"It's just sex," she said as she straddled the man on the bed. Slowly, she then started to take her top off. "Are you really going to say no?"

It was as if she had completely forgotten what she had seen in the other room. The only thing occupying her mind right now was how much she wanted to relieve the heat in her body. Narrowing his eyes at her, Jack lifted his thin lips.

Even under the dimmed lights, he still looked quite handsome.

When Lily took off her clothes, he saw the innocence and charm she had in her. What was more, her small, flushed face was also quite attractive.

"Let's have sex... You won't regret it."

And so, the night was filled with the sound of the love-making.

The next day...

Lily woke up from the pain all over her body.

Even in her sleep, waves of pain came out from the joints on her bones. As for her private parts, it felt as if someone had torn it apart.

She cursed in her heart and rubbed the sleep off her eyes.

As her lids fluttered open, she did not expect to see a muscular man inside the room with her!

"Ah!"

Lily screamed. The sudden rush made her remember what had just happened last night.

'I... I slept with a murderer!'

The man turned around to look at her.

"I see you're awake now," he said in a low and hoarse voice.

A cold shiver ran down her spine. She was so scared that she almost forgot about the pain all over her body. "I..." she stammered.

Seeing the fear on her face, Jack raised his eyebrows and raised his dark eyes slightly. Slowly, he got closer to her. His entire presence oozed with appeal.

"What's wrong, Lily?"

"How... how do you know my name?" Lily tried to move back away from the man, her eyes wide with fear and shock. It made her more uneasy that he was now so close to her.

"How do you think?" Jack asked as he stared at her, an imperceptible joy flashing through his handsome face.

He didn't expect that this woman would suddenly break into his plan last night. For safety measures, he had already asked someone to thoroughly investigate her background.

But, as he thought about what had happened last night, he couldn't help but smile very slightly.

Having an unexpected visitor turned out better for him than he expected.

As he looked down at her, she thought of the corpse she saw last night. Even though the man in front of her looked harmless, she knew what he was capable of. With this in her thoughts, she was starting to get a bit nervous. "Okay... You don't have to tell me how you know my name," she said, not wanting to anger him.

Jack stood up straight slowly, not wanting to frighten her too much. Then, his eyes darkened as he caught a glance at the red love bite on her chest.

"Bastard!"

Lily cried out when she realized where he was looking. She quickly grabbed her clothes at the edge of the bed and put them on.

With each step, Jack got closer and closer to Lily, his eyes never leaving her figure.

On the other hand, Lily's heart was beating wildly in her chest. A devilish smile played on his lips as he crawled onto the bed.

"What else do you want to do?"

The man's handsome face was a few inches from hers, his hot breath grazing her cheeks. Lily let out a forced laugh, "Nothing? I don't know. I don't know anything! I didn't see anything! Can we just forget this whole thing and move on?"

Seeing how frightened she was, Jack's eyes became colder.

"Miss Lily... Are you saying that you don't think you are to be held responsible for what happened last night?" Jack asked with a cheeky grin.

'Shit! This bastard!'

she cursed in her heart. She really wanted to slap him across the face. 'If it was someone else, it'd be fine. But he's just killed someone!

He's a murderer!'

She could only give a wry smile and silently moved aside. 'Maybe everything that happened last night was just a horrible dream! It's normal to get things mixed up after drinking, right?' Lily thought to herself.

"Well, last night was my first time. And I'm pretty sure you enjoyed yourself. So I think we can just call it quits, don't you?" She chuckled nervously.

There was an imperceptible hesitation in his eyes. At this moment, his aversion to this woman had softened.

It was an inconvenience that she suddenly got all mixed up with his plans. There was no way he could know if she would share with other people what she saw.

Lily got off the bed and slowly tried to walk towards the door. Seeing this, Jack turned his body slightly, his tall body blocking her exit.

"No. You have to be responsible for this," Jack said sternly.

"W-what?"

'What do I need to be responsible for!'

"Look," she said, her face darkening, "I don't know you. What happened yesterday was just an accident. I promise I won't tell anyone. Can't you just let me go?"

But Jack was unmoved. "My name is Jack," he said with an evil smile. Then, in one swift movement, he grabbed her arms. "Remember that, dear Lily."

"No!"

Jack ignored her protests altogether and carried her with ease.

Lily saw the door and tried to push him away with all her strength. The moment she got out of his grasp, she quickly rushed towards the door.

Unfortunately for her, Jack was much quicker that she was. He grabbed onto her wrist, and was soon dragging her back inside even before she managed to grab hold of the doorknob.

"Help! Help!"

she shouted.

She didn't want to be taken back by this man!

Was there really anyone close by to hear her cries?

Much to her surprise, someone actually came. A woman wearing high heels came into view, her head held high.

"Lily, you're here!"

Bonnie Lv!

Of all the people who came to her rescue, it had to be her!

But Lily wasn't able to think about it too much. After all, there was something more serious going on. "Bonnie! Please I --"

Before she could finish her sentence, she felt something sharp poke against her waist from behind.

"Shut up or you die," Jack said in a low hushed voice.

The skin on her waist was starting to hurt.

'Does he have a knife?'

Lily's face turned pale immediately. She couldn't deny anymore who this man was and what he had done.

There was now not a doubt in her mind that the murder she saw was real!

She stiffened all of a sudden and shut up immediately, not daring to say anything more.

On the other side, Bonnie Lv idly ran her fingers through her hair. "Are you with another man right now? No wonder you didn't attend our ceremony! Everyone says that you are sad. But from my point of view, you were having such a good time that you completely forgot about the ceremony," Bonnie Lv said in an arrogant tone.

"Stop talking nonsense! You know what happened yesterday," Lily snapped back through gritted teeth.

Not only did Bonnie Lv drug her last night, she also had the audacity to steal Lily's fiance! Lily wanted to slap her face so badly.

But she was in a bit of a tight situation right at the moment.

Bonnie Lv was the least of her problems. After all, someone was pointing a knife at her!

Bonnie didn't notice this at all since she was still in her own happy, little bubble from getting married yesterday. "Why do you misunderstand me like this, Lily? I know it's all our fault, but I thought you'd already let it go, which was why we invited you. I also want to take this opportunity to introduce some good men to you.

But from the looks of it... You couldn't even keep stop yourself from whoring around!"

This blind fool!

"Bonnie, I think you need to see things more clearly here! Stop confusing right from wrong!"

"I'm not! You brought this upon yourself! I did it for your own good, okay? I just didn't expect that you'd go and sleep with the first man you encounter. Were you really that sad that Sam and I got together? Much so that you just slept with the first man who said yes to you in bed?"

Bonnie sobbed, dramatically wiping a tear away from her eye.

The corners of Lily's mouth twitched in annoyance.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lily was so angry that she didn't care whether she was poked by a knife or not. She raised her chin and smiled sarcastically, "You know what? I'm happy for you. A scumbag like Sam definitely deserves a bitch like you. You are meant to be together. I'm glad."

"You..! How can you say such a thing!" Bonnie suddenly burst into tears. Seeing Sam Qin walking towards her, she hurried to hold his hand.

"Sam! Lily was yelling at me again," Bonnie complained.

"I have a good reason to do so! Even though I don't have any evidence, I know you were the one who messed with my glass of wine last night! Your nice girl act isn't working on me, Bonnie. In fact, you performance can only deceive idiots like Sam!"

"Lily! That's enough!" Sam Qin shouted, "Bonnie invited you to our wedding out of kindness. Stop being so ungrateful!"

'Ungrateful?

How can these two be so blind! Can't they see that I'm in trouble? Don't they know that a murder happened here last night?

If I get killed, it would be these two idiots' fault!' Lily cursed in her heart as her hands balled up into fists.

"You'd better work hard to keep your conscience clean. Remember, if you do anything shameful again, I'll make sure you suffer for it! You absolutely disgust me!"

"You... How dare you say those things to me?" Bonnie's face turned pale. She didn't know what was on Lily's mind. Lily just kept insulting her nonstop. Losing all her patience, Bonnie raised her hand, intending to slap Lily.

But Lily saw what she was intending to do and managed to push back Bonnie's hand. Lily was not the type of person who would just take her losses. "What? Do you think you can fight me and win again?"

"Sam, why aren't you helping me?"

Bonnie felt wronged and asked Sam Qin for help. As expected, Sam Qin glared at Lily.

"Damn it! Shame on you two..." No matter how fierce Lily was, she would be no match to a big man like Sam Qin. As he stepped closer, Lily instinctively stepped back but there was nowhere else for her to go. Sam raised his hand, ready to strike her.
