Chapter 3
The conversations around her swelled like ocean waves. Even though she had known for a long time about Adam’s feelings for Jessica, hearing those words left her mind blank. It felt as if a piece of her heart had been carved out, and the wind howled through the emptiness.
When she regained her senses, she found herself trailing Adam.
She observed as Adam took Jessica into the penthouse suite. In his haste, he hadn’t shut the door properly, allowing the conversation inside to reach her clearly.
“Adam!” Jessica exclaimed accusingly. “Don’t you utterly despise me? Didn’t you demand 900 thousand dollars as compensation for ruining your girlfriend’s dress? So why did you bid for my first night?
“You still love me… You love me, don’t you…”
Adam scoffed. “Love you?”

gripped her wrist tightly, his voice low and biting. “Jessica, you have some nerve. I bid for you. First, because I want to make you suffer. Second, because your first night was meant to be mine all along.
“Do you need me to remind you how you tempted me back then?”
His words dripped with hatred, yet his kiss was filled with love.
Josie stood outside the door, observing as Adam pushed Jessica onto the bed with a palpable urgency.

“Adam, you’re crying…” Jessica said, surprised.
He grasped her waist tightly, his voice rough. “Be quiet.”
Josie trembled, her nails digging into her palms without feeling any pain.

At that moment, Josie finally broke down.
Stumbling out of the club in a daze, her vision faded in and out.
Suddenly, the glaring headlights of a car illuminated her.
Bang!
Unable to move out of the way in time, she was struck by the vehicle, and sharp pain surged through her body instantly.

Amidst the confusion, she faintly heard people shouting and someone. making an emergency call.
When she regained consciousness, she found herself in a hospital.

When she placed the call, she realized she had accidentally dialed Adam’s number.
She hesitated, about to hang up, but the call had already gone through. Jessica’s shaky voice came on the line.
“Adam, your girlfriend’s calling… It’s late, there must be something important… Go see her, let me go… I can’t handle this anymore…”
Then, Adam’s icy voice followed.
“Ignore it.
“Jessica, I’ve spent the entire night with you. The night’s not over. Try to escape if you dare,” he continued.
After that, the phone was filled with the unmistakable, intimate sounds. of kissing.
The call ended abruptly.
The nurse glanced at her uneasily. “Do you have any other relatives?”
Josie shut her eyes, shaking with emotion. Tears flowed down her checks, and it felt as though her heart had been torn apart. The cold air swept in, making her insides ache.
“I’ll sign it myself… Whatever the outcome… I’ll take the
responsibility…”
With that, she picked up the pen with trembling hands and carefully signed her name.
Blood marked the consent form on her fingertips.
As she finished the final stroke, she passed out completely.
