Chapter 137 – Twisted Fate of a Billionaire’s Daughter Undercover

Just then, Gordon woke up.He pulled himself up to a sitting position and rested against the headboard.

But he quickly discovered that he was in a strange place.He looked all around him, wondering where he was.He could remember that he was at a dinner party when he suddenly felt dizzy while he was eating.He had gone to wash his face in the bathroom to try to sober himself up, but he ended up fainting.

Since then, he had been out and was only just waking up in this strange place.

Could he have been kidnapped? But there was no one else in the room.

After trying but failing to make sense of the whole thing, Gordon left the bed and made his way over to the door.

But before he could grab the knob, he heard a sound coming from the direction of the bathroom.

Someone was in there.

“Who is there? Who’s in the bathroom?”

Ashlyn heard him and quickly rounded up what she was doing.She then walked out of the bathroom.

“It’s me.”

“Ashlyn?”

Gordon was shocked.

The last person he had expected to see walk out of the bathroom was his ex-wife.

“Why are you here?”

She was wearing a long blue dress and even though she also had on a jacket, it was still easy to notice her slim waist.

His hungry eyes roved all over her body and before he knew it, he was already licking his lips involuntarily.He had always known that she was beautiful, but until recently, he had never really paid serious attention.

After he saw her painting and the messages on her old phone, his feelings concerning her had made a U-turn.

“I was lured and brought here.”

Ashlyn turned around and picked up the remote control for the air conditioner.

“It’s a little hot in here.I’d like to turn on the AC.Do you mind?”

“No.”

Gordon grabbed the knob and tried to turn it open, but he found out that it was locked.

“Who did this?”

“A few people.I don’t know who they are.”

As Ashlyn said that, she was still trying to lower the temperature on the AC, but it didn’t seem to be working.

Was the hotel management so inefficient that they couldn’t even get a functional AC? She saw on the remote that the temperature was 18 degrees Celsius, but yet she felt so hot.

In frustration, Ashlyn threw the remote control on the sofa.

Then she turned her attention to Gordon.

“Why are you here?”

“I don’t know either.”

Gordon looked at her and suddenly felt the urge to sit next to her.But he feared that she would not like to sit side by side with him.

Ashlyn, on her part, didn’t want to talk to Gordon.

She knew he was looking at her, but she ignored him completely.

Nevertheless, regardless of what they thought about each other, they both felt within their bodies that something was wrong somewhere.

They were feeling hot all over.

And the urge for sex seemed to be rising in them.

Ashlyn could feel the heat rise to her cheeks as she stood up, her eyes meeting a pair of glittering ones.Her expression shifted slightly.

“Gordon?”

It quickly became obvious that Ashlyn wasn’t the only one who was drugged.Gordon looked more uncomfortable than she was.It reminded Ashlyn of the night from five years ago.

It had been the night when the whole mistake that Ashlyn and Gordon had been together had started.It had also caused Ashlyn to waste three years of her life.

Ashlyn didn’t want to experience it again.

“Gordon, we are divorced.”

“l know.”

Gordon saw the vigilance in Ashlyn’s eyes and tried to restrain himself as he said, “I might have been drugged.”

He was feeling a lot like he had felt that night five years ago, but somehow, he was suffering more right now.

Five years ago, Gordon hadn’t loved Ashlyn.But he did now.

Fact was that he would have wanted to get close to her even if he weren’t drugged.

“Stay there, Gordon.I don’t want to make the same mistake I made five years ago.”

Ashlyn pinched her palm, the pain sobering her up to a large extent.She took a few steps backward, her eyes roving across the sweat on Gordon’s forehead, the sight filling her with fear.She didn’t know what she was afraid of.

Was she afraid of repeating the same mistake again, or was she afraid of surrendering to him? Ashlyn couldn’t tell.All she knew was that she must never repeat some mistakes.

“You were also drugged?” Gordon asked.

Ashlyn didn’t answer. She bit her lip, trying to control herself, but her face was so unusually red, even her makeup couldn’t hide it anymore.

For a fleeting moment, Gordon felt the urge to pounce on Ashlyn, since she wouldn’t be able to push back at this moment.He had the perfect excuse too! However, the vigilance and coldness in her eyes sobered him up pretty quickly.He had lost his arrogance from five years ago.

Gordon and Ashlyn had been victims back then, and they were victims now.

Gordon’’s body heat became more obvious by the minute, his vision blurring along with it.

There were countless voices in his mind, shouting at him to pounce on Ashlyn.He closed his eyes, clasping his hands tightly together.

The blue veins in his forehead were popping frighteningly.

Gordon’s countenance shocked Ashlyn and she staggered back two steps.Her shins hit the bed behind her and she toppled onto it.

Gordon opened his eyes to find Ashlyn lying on the bed.

Because of her fall, the collar of her dress lowered.

Her half-exposed breasts sent Gordon’s brain into a tizzy and he finally lost it.

Ashlyn had barely got off the bed when Gordon pounced on her.

The drug had softened her body and made it difficult for her to move when he pinned her down.

Gordon kissed her.

As his lips roamed her face, the heat of his breath enveloped her.She felt like she was burning in the fire, her consciousness gradually draining out of her.

Gordon then tore Ashlyn’s dress open.

The sound of her dress ripping sobered Ashlyn up a little.

She realized that Gordon was on top of her and opened her mouth to bite his shoulder with as much strength as she could muster.

The taste of blood soon filled her mouth.

Gordon froze for a moment, the pain sobering him a little.

Before he could react, Ashlyn mustered her remaining strength and kicked him as hardly as she could.She quickly pulled her torn dress together and escaped from Gordon to the sofa.

“Gordon, this is raping!”

Ashlyn’s words were like a blow to Gordon’s head.

Coupled with the pain in his shoulder, they sobered him up much more effectively.He looked at Ashlyn before lowering his head and saying, “I’m sorry.”

Ashlyn pinched herself to keep herself attentive and said with clenched teeth, “You’ll see what I can do if you dare touch me again!”

It was like her words had the power to instantly bring Gordon back to his senses.He didn’t say anything.He merely looked at her.

Ashlyn’s face was flushed scarlet and her hair was messy, which somehow made her look more attractive.

Gordon’s gaze lingered on her for a minute before he looked away.He knew that he wouldn’t be able to control himself if he continued to look at her.

Gordon loosened his tie.

Ashlyn’s heart sank at his action and she took a few steps back.

When she reached the TV, she picked up the ornament sitting on the TV stand.She would bash his head in if he dared approach her.

When he finished removing his tie, he turned to face Ashlyn.

Ashlyn was frightened as she watched him walk towards her.Her hands were shaking.

“Don’t come here, Gordon!”
