Ultimate Romance: Danger In Cold CEO's Kiss

At D City

One of the richest family, Shen family, had a wedding ceremony happening. The villa was bedecked extravagantly. Outside, cars worth tens of millions of dollars were lined up. A large number of guests walked in the beautiful hallway. Even celebrities were present to witness the ceremony.

In the resplendent hall, flowers were in full bloom. Handsome and rich men walked hand in hand with socialite divas, who were slim and charming. Beautiful blond-haired women with mesmerizing blue eyes were dancing on the floor in the most graceful manner. Through the musician's flexible hands, the cello came alive, entertaining the audience with its melodious music. The atmosphere here reeked of richness.

Coming out of the dressing room, Reese Lin noticed the gleam in her father's eyes as he saw her.

Her beauty was such it surpassed all the decoration of the house. Even the most beautiful fireworks couldn't compete with her.

Tonight was Reese Lin's wedding. As the bride to be, she should have been the happiest person. However, she wasn't overjoyed like the guests present there. On seeing the scene of music and dancing, her mood became sour. She was overwhelmed with everything that was happening around her.

"Reese! You are very beautiful today. If only your mother could see you today! She would have been the happiest!" Albert Lin said as he shed tears of joy seeing his daughter.

Listening to Albert Lin mention her deceased mother, Reese Lin's eyes dimmed. The Lin Group was founded by her parents. However, due to her father's inappropriate management, it was at stake now. In order to protect her mother's painstaking efforts, she was compelled to marry into the Shen family.

One might wonder how she managed to marry into such a rich family. After all, a rich family like Shen family was bound to have many options. Every girl in D City would be dying to marry him. How did Reese Lin get so lucky?

The truth was, Jacob Shen, the eldest son of the Shen family's head, had become blind at a very young age. Even the best doctors were of the belief he would never recover. This was the only reason why Reese Lin got the opportunity to marry him.

After tonight, she would officially become Jacob Shen's wife. Deep in her heart, she didn't want to marry him as she was in love with someone else. But for the sake of Lin Group and her mother, she had to sacrifice herself.

She tried to feign a smile but the thought of marrying him didn't make her even a little happy. Knowing fully well her father would say something about it, she smiled apologetically at him and said in a low voice, "Well, Dad, I want to go to the washroom."

Albert Lin seemed to have seen through Reese Lin's mind, and the smile on his face disappeared. Raising his hand, he patted on her shoulder. "There's only half an hour left before the ceremony starts. Don't be late," he said as his piercing gaze bore into her eyes.

Nodding her head, she disappeared into the washroom.

Once inside, she took a deep breath. She stood there for a while and gazed at her reflection in the mirror. It was a pity she wasn't happy on the most important day of her life. 'I need to leave or else people will get suspicious, ' she thought to herself and made her way outside. She feigned a smile, pretending to look happy.

When she came out, she noticed her father was gone.

Reese Lin looked into the depths of the corridor. It was empty and the lights were dim. In spite of this, she could vaguely see a man's figure. He was wearing a well-tailored suit. He had a good physique with wide shoulders and a narrow waist. His slender hand held a Zippo lighter. As he pressed the button, the fire slowly rose.

"Who is that?" Reese Lin asked nervously and looked around, only to discover that everyone else was downstairs, preparing for the wedding ceremony. There was not a single person to help her here.

"Relax." The man seemed to have understood that Reese Lin was starting to get scared. He sneered and put away the lighter. With his left hand in his trouser pocket, he trudged towards her.

Now that he was close, she would clearly see his face. His features were like an elaborately carved work of art, perfect beyond comprehension. His face twisted and an arrogant expression appeared. But the thing was, it did nothing to lessen his beauty.

Even this impolite expression looked great on his perfect face. If anything, it added a tinge of mystery to him.

"How could it be you?" Reese Lin whispered, staring at the face she loved so dearly. 'How could it be him?' she wondered, unable to believe her eyes.

Clenching the hemline of her dress, Reese Lin took a step back, hoping Trevor Shen couldn't see the wedding dress she was wearing.

Instead of being dissuaded, he continued to walk forward. With his strong hands, he pushed her against the wall, catching her off-guard.

She wanted to scream, but predicting her response, he placed his hand against her mouth. Reese Lin widened his eyes in disbelief. She had never thought something like this would happen today.

He let go of his hand from her mouth. Seizing the opportunity, Reese Lin opened her mouth to call for help.

Before she could do that, he placed a deep kiss on her mouth. He tasted every bit of mouth before he stopped. Once again, his hands held her tightly, not allowing her to move an inch. Reese Lin gasped, unable to understand what had just happened. He seemed thirsty, wanting to kiss her more. She couldn't let that happen.

"Let me go!" she screamed, not giving him another chance to molest her mouth.

She was Jacob Shen's bride. It didn't matter that Trevor Shen, the only guy she had a crush on, was standing in front of her. She couldn't do anything that would hurt Jacob Shen! Moreover, they were so many reporters present tonight. This would bring nothing but humiliation to her family and his. If she got caught, her mother's hard work could go in vain. 'No, I can't let this happen, ' she thought, regaining her wits.

Reese Lin tried to push him away. But he didn't even budge! After all, he was much stronger than her. Her resolution to escape brought a fierce look to his face. He tightened his grip on her body.

"What are you doing? I'll call for help and gather people!" she threatened.

"Go ahead. You'd better gather audience to watch what is happening here. People will know that the bride is trying to seduce someone else. Be my guest!" Trevor Shen was not intimidated by Reese Lin's threat. Instead, he moved closer, closing the distance between them. If someone happened to see this, it would undoubtedly tarnish Reese Lin's reputation.

Reese Lin was quiet and Trevor Shen realized with satisfaction that his words had threatened her. Feeling encouraged, he said disdainfully, "This is too boring. I would like to have some audience."

Hearing this, Reese Lin felt humiliated. She glared at Trevor Shen angrily. Now she didn't have the courage to scream. It would cause more harm than good.

They remained glued against each other's body for a few seconds.

Suddenly, she heard a faint sound of footsteps. A seed of hope budded in her chest. Perhaps she could ask that person to rescue her. However, it turned out Trevor Shen was one step ahead of her. He too had heard it. He loosened his grip on her, smoothed the wrinkles on his suit jacket, and then looked down at her meaningfully.

"You can leave now. I am letting you go this time. But if it happens again, you will be in trouble," Reese Lin said in an authoritative tone. This was the man she had dreamed of all her life. Even though he had misbehaved, she didn't have it in her to threaten him. She decided to let him go with a light warning.

However, Trevor Shen grabbed her wrist and said indifferently, "Oh? Really? I loved tasting your juicy lips. I am sure there will be a next time. Your kiss has captured my heart. Do you know what I want to do now? I want to take you away from the wedding."

"You!" Of course, Reese Lin wasn't deluded into thinking Trevor Shen actually liked her. In fact, the blatant way in which he spoke compelled her to believe he was merely making fun of her. This ignited her anger.

But before she could say something, Trevor Shen said, "Or do you prefer the pleasure of having an affair?"

"Trevor Shen! Stop talking nonsense!" Reese Lin's cheeks turned red with shame. Once upon a time, she had died to get a glimpse of him. But today, seeing his true face, she found him unbearable.

"Miss Lin! Your father sent me here to remind you. The ceremony is about to begin!" It was a waiter. When he came over, Trevor Shen had already withdrawn his hand from her body.

"Okay, I am coming." Reese Lin pretended to be calm but there was a quiver in her voice. Her heart was thudding against her chest. Her body was hot from Trevor Shen's touch. Seeing that the waiter was staring at Trevor Shen, she started to explain, "Well, this is my..."

She faltered in her speech seeing the recognition in the waiter's eyes. "Ah! Here you are! Mr. Shawn Shen is also looking for you!" The waiter's eyes lit up.

"Okay," Trevor Shen answered indifferently. He put his left hand inside his trouser pocket and left without looking at Reese Lin.

'Miss Shawn Shen is looking for him?'

Reese Lin looked at Trevor Shen's receding figure, trying to understand how the waiter knew him. The waiter remained there, urging her to come. Nodding her head, she followed him to the hall.

Finally, the ceremony began. The light was dim, and the song called "Dream Wedding" played, filling the air. Arm in arm with her father, Reese Lin stepped on the red carpet and walked towards her groom, Jacob Shen.

After everything that happened just now, she couldn't calm down. She looked down, not wanting the guests to understand the discomfort she was feeling.

'Jacob Shen and Trevor Shen? They have the same surname.

On top of that, the waiter said Shawn Shen was looking for Trevor. Why? Is this a coincidence?

Or...?' She stopped herself from thinking further. 'It is nothing but a coincidence, ' she told herself inwardly.

From what she knew, Shawn Shen only had one son. It had to be a coincidence! In spite of this, she was lost in thoughts. Her mind was a mess.

"Reese? Jacob is waiting for you!" Albert Lin's slightly anxious voice rang in Reese Lin's ears, and she regained her senses. It turned out that they had reached the end of the red carpet. Her husband-to-be, Jacob Shen, stretched out his hand, waiting to hold hers.

"Oh? Yes!" Reese Lin quickly put forward her hand and caught his. His hand was warm and strong. After feeling Reese Lin's hand, Jacob Shen slightly squeezed it.

To be honest, Jacob Shen was a handsome man. Due to his blindness, he stood staring blankly ahead. Reese Lin couldn't help but feel sorry for him. If it weren't for this accident, his life would have been quite amazing. He had both money and looks.

"My daughter is too happy to react!" Albert Lin said, attempting to ease the atmosphere. After looking at Reese Lin one last time, he returned to his seat.

At this moment, Jacob Shen's father, Shawn Shen, entered the stage to give a speech. He was a kind man who smiled often. Even now, a wide smile was plastered on his face. He looked around to make sure he had everyone's attention. Once he was certain, he began speaking. The words that came out of his mouth gave Reese a heart attack! Her biggest fear turned into reality.

Shawn Shen declared he had two reasons for celebrating. He announced his younger son, who had been studying abroad, returned today. Delightfully, he revealed his son's name was Trevor Shen.

Once Shawn was done with his speech, he motioned Trevor for to get onto the stage and greet everyone. There wasn't a hint of timidity on Trevor's face. He went to the stage and smiled at everyone. Even though Reese was staring at him, he barely glanced in her direction. People were impressed with him and they had a tough time peeling their eyes off him.

He was polite and looked like a gentleman, completely different from what Reese had witnessed in the corridor a while ago. His tight grip had left a mark on her wrist. She looked at it. 'If it weren't for this mark, I would have thought I had imagined the whole thing, ' she thought with disbelief.

Once they left the stage, Reese was overcome by an eerie feeling. She always felt that someone was watching her. But every time she glanced at Trevor, she saw him look elsewhere. This continued for a while and at last she caught him! When she met his eyes, the same playful look was back on his face. She flushed red.

She completed all the necessary rituals mechanically. Her mind was wandering. As soon as the ceremony was over, she went back to an old house owned by the Shen family. On their way, Jacob held her hand lovingly.

"Are you tired? You must be very tired today. I have never been so sad about being blind. It's a pity I can't see my beautiful bride," Jacob said once they were settled in their room.

"It's okay. I'm not at all tired," Reese answered and moved away from him. His advances had begun to make her feel uncomfortable.

Jacob realized she was moving away from him. Instead of questioning her about it, he merely smiled. Gently, he said, "I've asked a maid to run a bath for you. You go take a shower first. I am pretty sure you must be tired after wearing high heels all day long."

"That's very kind of you. Thank you," Reese said, feeling grateful for his kindness. Deep down, guilt was eating her alive. After the encounter she had with Trevor today, she was afraid of physical intimacy. But she swore she would be nice to Jacob in the future. Even if she couldn't fall in love with him, she would be loyal to him.

After the shower, the tiredness of the whole day vanished. The warm water loosened the sore muscles of her body. She found herself stretching comfortably. When she pushed the door and went out, she couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

"Ah!"

Trevor, who had changed into household clothes, was standing in front of her. He stood leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest. She ask, "Why are you here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Reese realized how absurd her question had been. This was the Shen family's house, and Trevor was a member of the family. It was completely normal for him to be here.

"Wow! You smell divine. I could eat you." As he spoke, he moved closer. With his firm hands, he forced her inside the bathroom, lowered his head and inhaled the scent of her body.

"Reese? What's wrong? Are you hut?"

When Reese was about to scold Trevor, she caught sight of Jacob moving towards them. Panic-stricken, he was looking for her.

Thinking of the intimate position she was in with Trevor, fear coursed through her. Reese was shocked and didn't know what to do. If she didn't respond, she was afraid Jacob would bump into something and hurt himself. For his safety, she found her voice and answered, "I'm fine! I just saw a bug!"

"Ha-ha! Nice excuse," Trevor whispered as he sneered disdainfully.

"Oh, that's alright. This is an old house and I have heard we have insects here. Luckily, it's just a matter of few hours. We will go back to the city tomorrow." Upon hearing that she was fine, Jacob breathed a sigh of relief and went back into the bedroom.

"Oh, what a poor man! He was fooled by his wife," Trevor said coldly as he looked into her eyes. She couldn't tell what was going on in his mind. His eyes contained so many emotions.

"Go away!" She was tired of him. She wished there was a way to get rid of him. Pushing him away, she ran out of the bathroom. Even though he was a shameless man, he wouldn't dare to act blatantly in front of his family.

Sure enough, Trevor didn't chase after her anymore. But there was a playful look on his face that made Reese feel like a cub that had fallen into a trap. She loathed feeling this way, but there was nothing she could do about it.

"Reese," called Jacob. She was back in the room. Jacob came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. As he moved closer to her, the scent of shower gel wafted through the air. Reese, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, began to feel restless. She started fidgeting.

"Well, the water is dripping from your hair," Reese said as she looked at him. Being his wife, there were some responsibilities she had to take care of.

"I..." Jacob faltered, not knowing what to say.

"It's okay. Let me help you dry your hair. Otherwise, you might catch a cold." Reese stepped forward and made him sit on the bed.

A smile crept on Jacob's face. "Okay," he agreed in an instant.

Since Jacob's hair was quite short, it didn't take that long for her to dry it. It was their wedding night and Reese feared what was about to come next. Somehow, she tried to console herself saying it was natural. After all, she had made up her mind to please him as much as possible.

In spite of this, she feared being intimate with him. 'No, not today, ' she thought to herself. Jacob didn't seem like a man who would make her do something against her will.

"Reese," Jacob said and put his hand on her back.

"Ah! Please go way!" Rachel jumped from the bed. A simple touch made her behave so frantically.

After that, she came to her senses. She looked at Jacob awkwardly and mumbled, "I...I just..."

"It's okay, Reese. I understand." With a broad smile, Jacob got up and searched for her hands. "I am not the kind of man who will force you into doing something that you aren't interested in.

I'm willing to wait till the day you accept me." Hearing Jacob's words, Reese felt even guiltier. He was such an understanding man.

"Thank you for understanding. Also, don't worry. We will get along soon. I sincerely wish to have a good life with you, Mr. Shen," Reese said firmly. But there was a part of her that believed this would never happen.

"Well, let's start from scratch. What did you call me? Now that we are married, you shouldn't call me Mr. Shen." Jacob smiled gently and sat down again.

Reese realized his words made sense. Tentatively, she asked, "Well, shall I call you Jacob from now on?"

"Okay. Sounds fine to me." Jacob nodded. A yawn escaped from his mouth. "Well, it's late now. Let's go to sleep. Even though we are sharing the bed, I won't touch you. Don't worry."

"Okay." Reese was still skeptical. However, she knew it would be wrong to make him sleep on the floor. Besides, she had to get used to Jacob if she wished to get rid of this discomfort. Lifting the quilt, she jumped onto the bed. She was lying on the edge of the bed.

On turning around, she noticed Jacob was very considerate. He left a huge space between them.

"Go to sleep, Reese," he said, sensing she was looking at him.

"Okay, good night."

After a few minutes, Jacob's breath became even, letting her know he had fallen asleep. It had been a long day and she was extremely tired. However, the events that took place relayed in her mind. Plus, the strange environment made it difficult for her to fall asleep. She was tossing and turning, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Reese got out of the bed and went to answer it. She was aware that Jacob had to take medicine every day because of his condition. 'Perhaps it is one of the servants, ' she thought and opened the door quickly.

To her disbelief, it was the man who had tortured her the whole day. As soon as she saw Trevor, she decided to close the door. But he was faster than her. With his strong arms, he stopped her from shutting the door.

Afraid of waking Jacob up, Reese didn't dare to speak loudly. She lowered her voice and looked at him with dissatisfaction. "Why are you here at this hour? I am going back to sleep!"

"No, you shouldn't sleep. I have something much more interesting for you." A hungry gleam could be seen in his eyes. His words sent shivers down her spine.

"What the hell are you doing?" Reese wanted to shout for help but her sleeping husband was the only thing that kept her from doing so.

"Don't you remember the question I asked you today? I asked you to pick between being taken away from the wedding and having an affair. Since you decided to marry him, I figured you must like the latter."

Trevor was shameless and wasn't scared of Reese. Perhaps he knew she was a coward who wouldn't make a sound. Either way, he was ready to take advantage of her innocence.

"Your brother is still inside! Are you still going to mess around?" Reese wanted to instil fear in him.

However, Trevor shrugged off her concerns. The fact that Jacob was present made no difference to him. "He is nothing but a bastard. But looks like you are scared of him. In that case, let's get down to business."

"What did you just say? Bastard?" Reese asked, not understanding his words. Soon, Trevor pulled her out of the room and pressed against the wall.

Trevor had no intention of showing any mercy. Lifting up her skirt, he decided to make her his.

"Ah!" The pain made Reese scream. Horrified, she looked at Trevor. She didn't know he was capable of being so brutal.

Her shrill cry woke Jacob. Soon, he realized Reese's side of the bed was empty. "Reese? Is that you? Are you fine?"

"Why don't you answer him? Do you want him to come here and catch us?" Trevor didn't stop what he was doing. Instead, he whispered in her ear as he took pleasure in wrecking her body. Wanting to punish her more, he bit her ear.

Reese continued to glare at him as her eyes brimmed with tears. "I was going to get water. Since it was dark, I stubbed by toe on the chair," she answered, suppressing her pain and rage.

"Does it hurt badly?" Jacob asked anxiously.

Reese hurriedly answered, "It's okay, I am fine. Don't bother yourself."

"Ha-ha." Trevor sneered and provoked Reese's anger. After making her angry, he plundered inside her like a manic. With a devilish smile, he said, "Your body is saying that you need me!"

"Mmph," she moaned. His intense movements made her weak. She lost control over her own body.

"Do you like it?" He was like a devil, dragging her into the hell with him. But she was determined to fight him. "Oh, of course you like it. Otherwise, you wouldn't have played those dirty tricks!"

"It wasn't me..." she whispered, feeling a little out of breath.

"Who else could it be?" Trevor's eyes were fierce, gazing into her like a cheetah that had been hungry for weeks. Now that his prey was in front of him, he wouldn't hesitate before attacking. At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot with rage. "Have you forgotten it?" he asked, gripping her shoulders.

Reese shuddered at his touch. He was a horrible person. And she was a like a flower that could be attacked by a rainstorm, unable to withstand even the simplest blow.

"It's fine, don't worry. I am here to remind you!" Trevor smiled devilishly. When he thought of what had happened in the past, his eyes turned cold like ice.

At this moment, she gazed into his eyes.

What she saw in them sent shivers down her spine.

She wanted to pull free from him, but his strong body was firmly entwined with hers.

She was on the verge of crying. Somehow, she composed herself.

Instead of breaking down, she looked at him with her beautiful eyes and asked, "Do you think you are torturing me? Remember that you are torturing yourself as well! Yes, I don't want Jacob to see this! Do you want her to see this?"

Instead of leaving her, Trevor exerted all his strength. She experienced a kind of pain that made her think of death.

"Maria is my stepmother. With your current power, it won't be all that difficult to marry her, right?" she asked. Looking at the wild hatred on his face, Reese's heart ached. In spite of it, she pretended to be calm and went on, "What a pity! Your social standing won't allow you to marry her. Even if you want to marry her, are you willing to give up your current status as a Shen family member?"

Maria Su was a bitch who liked to play dirty tricks. In order to marry into a rich family, she had played with Reese's father. But on the other hand, she enjoyed with Trevor. That wretched woman was playing with two men at the same time. Her games came to an end when she got caught. Instead of owning up her mistakes, she framed Reese for drugging her. She told Trevor that Reese had done it because she wanted to spoil their relationship. Hence, Reese became the villain of their love story.

Trevor was blind, he couldn't see the truth. Instead, he believed every nonsense that was spoken by Maria Su.

He developed a fierce hatred for Reese. In the end, Maria Su became her stepmother.

Thinking of this, Reese clenched her fists angrily.

She thought back to the old days.

It was ridiculous she had been obsessed with him. There was nothing admirable about him!

Her words left Trevor stunned. He was calmer than before, but he glared at her with his murderous eyes. Biting her neck, he said, "You are so vicious! I have never seen anyone like you before!"

"You think I am vicious?" Reese snorted.

Somehow his words brought a new idea into her mind.

'Perhaps it's time to teach Maria a lesson. I didn't have that ability before, but now I do, ' she thought.

"Aren't you? Didn't you just admit your crime now?"

She looked into Trevor's handsome face. At first, she hesitated. But plucking up the courage, she said, "No one can beat you when it comes to viciousness. And look what you have done to your brother's wife!"

She hoped her words would make him realize what he was doing.

"What? I am willing to do something that he isn't capable of doing. This just makes me a good brother." Trevor smiled cruelly.

How had he left the Shen family years ago? If he hadn't had his men look into it, he would have been deceived. But now that he knew the truth, he wouldn't let them go.

Reese pushed him away, as if he were a hot potato. She turned around to leave. Instead of letting her go, he hugged her from behind and pushed her against the wall. Wildly, he began to pour her shoulder with kisses.

"What are you doing?" she shouted, but instantly she regretted it. This was bound to disturb Jacob.

Looking at his teeth marks on her smooth skin, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. Like a devil, he said, "This will remind you of me. Our game has just begun!"

When Reese was about to say something, Jacob walked out of the room with a worried expression on his face. "Reese? Why did you scream? And who's there with you?"

"It's..."

"Brother, it's me!" Since Reese was hesitating to speak, Trevor spoke. There was a brilliant smile on his face. When compared to Jacob, who was blind, Trevor was like a dazzling star, his eyes shining bright.

Reese was about to support Jacob, but Trevor caught her wrist. She wanted to scream, but she bit down her pain. In an angry voice, she asked him, "What are you doing here?"

"Don't you know what I am doing?" Trevor retorted back. Seeing that her face had turned pale, he let her go. Reese immediately ran to Jacob like a frightened rabbit. Seeing that she regarded Jacob as a savior, Trevor began to feel uncomfortable.

Once upon a time, this woman had been fond of him. He had seen the way she stared at him.

But now, she looked at him with indifference. The eyes that lit up when she saw him barely held any emotions for him. He was a plague that she wished to escape from.

Feeling a pair of soft hands supporting him, Jacob felt warm in his heart. He had been worried, but her touch soothed him. However, as she stood near him, he got a whiff of Trevor's cologne. He was familiar with this smell and his heart suddenly tightened.
