Chapter 1592: Betray Her Own Body
The man chuckled. โGoodness, Iโm telling you the truth. Weโre all just working for someone else, arenโt we? Why would I want to con you?โ
Before Aubree could respond, his voice hardened. โBut even if I did, would you report me to the police? I doubt it. The Chanaean police would come for you; youโd be detained and sent back to your country.โ
Aubreeโs face paled under his threat, but she knew she was powerless. She was in a foreign land, unknown and unnoticed. She dared not report him.
โI donโt have that much money,โ she replied through gritted teeth. Sheโd left her country with only five million. After plastic surgery, obtaining a new identity, and finding a place to live, she had only a few hundred thousand left. She still had significant debts to settle; a few hundred thousand wouldn't suffice. She couldn't possibly raise a million to pay the balance.
The man raised an eyebrow, appraising her. Aubree tensed, disgust evident in her wary gaze.
โYou can pay with something else if you donโt have the money,โ he said, his gaze lingering on her face. โYour real face is better, but this is acceptable. Besides, you were a rich manโs daughter. Iโve never slept with one before.โ
His implication was blatant. Aubreeโs face darkened. โHow dare you?โ
โIf you canโt settle the balance, weโll take back the documents used to create โChristina.โ Find someone else to help you return home, Ms. Pearson,โ he replied, confident and unyielding. He reached for her ID.
Aubree refused to relinquish it. Sheโd spent half her savings creating this identity. Losing it meant losing everything, leaving her with no means to disguise herself.
โFine. Keep it. Itโs just paper. The important information is on our computers. We can destroy it anytime,โ he said arrogantly, already closing in on her.
Aubreeโs fists clenched; her face betrayed her fury. She seemed poised to strike him. He showed no fear, placing a hand on her waist, then slowly moving it towards her breasts.
โIโve seen that photo from Chanaea, Ms. Pearson. Youโre not some innocent girl, so donโt play the virgin card with me. Just let me sleep with you, and weโll be even.โ
Numb, Aubree stood frozen. He pulled her into his embrace, groping her. His smile broadened as she offered no resistance. He lifted her bridal-style and threw her onto the bed.
Tears streamed down Aubreeโs face as she heard him undressing. Once, no man would have dared to touch her. She was the girl who would retaliate against even a glance. Now, defenseless against this thug, she was left with no choice but to betray her own body.
