The 22 year old woman was forced by her stepmother to get into bed with one of her business partners, and she fled in desperation to a stranger’s car… but that moment of fate would change her life forever

The car stopped beneath a covered entrance. A tall, silent driver in a dark suit immediately opened Matthew’s door and held out an umbrella.

Matthew stepped out without waiting for Elena.
