Chapter -2
The Devil's Contract;
The rain lashes against the glass walls of noha enterprises, mirrong the cold, suffocating fear in jiyang's heart. She stoot in the middle of the grand marble lobby, her clothes soaked and her hands trembling..
In her bag , she clutched a stock of medical bills. Her young brother's heart was falling, and the hospital had given her an ultimatum: $50, 000 by tomorrow morning, or they would stop the treatment.
She had no friends left to ask , no property to sell. There was only one person in the city, who had that ruthless, as he was rich.
Noha,
The elevator pinged, and the lobby went silent, A tall man stepped out, flanked by bodyguards. He wore a charcoal - grey suit that screamed Power. His jawline was sharp, and his eyes were a piercing, cold amber. This was the man who controlled the city's economy. "Mr. Noha!
Please! " Jiyang cried out, rushing forward before the security could stop her.
Noha halted. He didn't look annoying; he looked bored. He slowly turned his gaze toward her, scanning her messy hair and gear -stained face. "I don't give interview to the press, and I don't give change to beggars" Noha said, his voice deep and smoot like experience velvet. " I am not a beggar, " Jiyang gasped, her voice breaking. "I... I need a loan , my brother is dying . I'll work for you. I'll do anything! Please, Just save him." Noha stepped closer his shadow towering over her. The scent of sandalwood and expensive cigars wrapped around her. He reached out, his gloves finger tilting her chin up so she had to meet his freezing gaze. "Anything, Jiyang?" He whispered, his eyes narrowing.
"That's a very dangerous word to use with a man like me". "A dark, mysterious smirks played on noha's lips. He pulled back and adjusted his cuffs. " Very well." My assistant will give you the check for the hospital tonight. He said. Jiyang felt a wave of relief so strong she almost collapsed, but his next words turned her blood to ice. " But in return you belong to me . You will move into my estate tonight. You will be my assistant, by day and my shadow by night. Until every cent is paid back... You don't even breath without my permission, "do we have a deal?"
Jiyang looked at the cheek book in the assistant s hand and the at the ' devil's ' standing in front of her . She had no choice.
" Deal". She whispered.
Noha leaned into her ear, his breath hot against her skin, " welcome to hell, Jiyang ".
