Chapter 3

Sasha and Aidan had met at an upscale nightclub.

At that time, her mother, Ella Barlow, was battling uremia. She required dialysis every week and was in desperate need of a kidney transplant.

To make quick money, Sasha worked as a PR officer at the club, using her looks to interact with wealthy customers.

Aidan was like a desperate sycophant back then, flattering and serving a group of people. He poured drinks and lit cigarettes for them, hoping they would throw some business his way.

At first, Sasha and Aidan's relationship was nothing more than occasional greetings.

That changed one day when Sasha was set up by another PR officer at the club. She was tricked into serving a rich heir who had a disease.

In an attempt to make sure she got infected, the PR officer had even drugged her, knowing she never left the club with customers.

Just as she was about to be assaulted by the heir, Aidan came to her rescue.

On that day, Aidan lost a deal worth millions, and the heir crushed his hand as they fought.

Maybe it was from that moment on that Sasha had fallen for Aidan.

After that, whether out of gratitude for Aidan saving her or the lingering, subtle feelings that had taken root, she used her connections from the club and her position to help him close several big deals.

Aidan, sensing her abilities, hired her the following year. He brought her into his company as a PR manager.

From then on, they became the perfect team. He dealt with the socializing, and she handled the drinking duties. He brought in resources, and she secured deals with key decision-makers.

A year into her job at Aidan's company, the two of them ended up in bed together.

Sasha had always known that Aidan didn't truly care about her.

Even the first time they were intimate, Aidan made a crude remark. "By the way, where did you get that tightening procedure done? The results are impressive. Ladies from your club always know where to find the best places."

That was the first time she felt humiliated by Aidan.

In truth, that night with him was her first time.

She wanted to tell Aidan the truth, but she knew he wouldn't believe her. After all, he had seen her in so many compromising situations back at the club.

Even now, when she secured deals, she still had to play along with the clients.

But Aidan was the only one who had touched her body, and she had truly loved him to the core.

Love had never been fair. She knew that all too well.
