When I am with you
I can't stop smiling
When I talk to you
My stomach is flooded
with butterflies
When I see the shine
In your eyes
My sorrows go away
When I think of you
I can't help to wish
That I could call you mine

-Willow

For several days Lisi lives in fear. She was scared of what the sly fox will demand of her. She was sleepless at night. Every time she thought of him her whole body would be covered with cold sweat.

What type of tactics and abnormal methods will he demand for saving her life...?

She was worried for days there will be an unexpected move from him. His silence causes her nightmares. Her strong heart has been scared until it's weak.

Fine! If you don't come to me I will come to you. But...what will she say to him?

Please don't torture me. If you have any request within reason...I will surely fulfill it...

Aiya...! That bastard! That mentally challenged person...

As the proverb says the person that got saved will be indebted to their savior for the rest of their life...
They owes their savior a life debt...

In the end she knows she have no choice but to bow to him. That hateful person...

At that moment she suddenly see the light no matter how she resists. She pities herself.

Why does she suddenly have no strength to battle wits with him...?

Damien sits in front of his computer with a pile of files...trying to catch up on work. But all he could achieve within the last hour is staring off in space. His thoughts were far from work...

He is frustrated to death! He has calculated countless ways and scenarios to be near her but it's been a week and he hasn't progressed one step closer to his goal.

For someone who is quick witted and even quicker with her mouth...spitting out all sorts of hateful words towards him...She's a dummy when it comes to her feelings.

Damien sigh...

Damien closes his eyes to withstand the oncoming headache. He can see stars twirling above his head.
Being denied countless times by her...his ego is being beaten down. It seems he has to endure for a long time to deal with that troublesome woman.

After a while he can't seemed to make head or tail of the situation he finds himself in. He can't help but laugh at his ridiculous self.

He hears the doorbell ring and got up from his seat. He wonders who could it be since he's not expecting any visitors or any deliveries.

His hand reaches for the doorknob without looking to see who it is.

"My moral sense won't allow me to ignore the situation at hand. I'm here to offer a truce."

Lisi stood in front of his door with her arm in a cast. Although she was smiling sweetly but her eyes says otherwise.

Damien's guard instantly goes up.

What moral sense? When it comes to him moral is out the door!
What truce...? She want to throttle him is more like it!

Lisi uncomfortably shifts her weight from one foot to the other.

"Oh...?"

"I...I was wrong. I will fulfill...ah help...no offer...I will do what you need of me as a payback for saving my life...within reason."

Damien's happy feeling suddenly pushes its way out from the restriction zones and flows rapidly all over his body.

But...why does he suddenly feel that he will die a miserable death...by the glared of her eyes...?

Dammit! Why did she impulsively hand herself on a platter to him and bet on the freedom of her life. Doom...oppression...she definitely maneuvered herself into a corner.

Dizziness overcomes...her body sways and all she saw was blackness. The anxiety has finally takes its toll on her. She fainted...

Lisi lashes slowly flutters like two wings. Her eyes moves around to take in her surroundings. Then an air piercing scream comes out of her mouth while she frantically pushes herself off the bed.

"You...!"

Damien sat quietly with his legs crossed on the chair near the bed. His shirt sleeves rolled up to show his masculine arms. He was concentrating on some papers in his hands.

Hearing her scream his head jerk up. A devious smile appears on his face.

"Don't be too excited. Unless..."

Ignoring his innuendo...she went straight to the point.

"Why am I in your bed?"

"Did you forgot that you fainted because of how handsome I am?"

She use whatever ounce of energy she has left to think rationally.

It seems he has saved her once again from hitting her head on the tiles while she fainted.

"I have a proposal..."

Damien's attention is fully focus on her.

"Oh? Let's hear the details."

Why does he sounds so excited?!

"I can help you clean your place..."

"Don't need. I already have a cleaner."

"I can wash your clothes."

"My clothes are dried clean."

"I can run your errands."

"I have a personal assistant."

Her eyes are starting to see red. She takes a few deep breath to calm herself.

Endure...

"I can cook your meals."

Seeing Damien quiet and contemplating...Lisi feels excited that she can finally do something to repay him.

"I can prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Hmm...I can do it for a month since that's how long I requested for leave."

"How can you prepare anything with your arm like that? Are you trying to poison me?"

"I can do it. Give me a try..."

"Give you a try...? Where?"

"You! Can you get your mind off that for a moment? I'm being serious here!"

"What makes you think I'm not being serious with you?"

Why does she have a feeling they are talking about different things all of a sudden?

"Three months."

"You're willing to go for it?

Afraid that he might change his mind...

"Alright three months."

"And..."

And...? What more does he want?

"And I will buy all the ingredients."

"And..."

"And I will cook according to what you want."

"And..."

"That's enough! Do you want this deal or not?!"

"Uhm."

"Deal!"

Lisi offers her good hand and they shake on it.

"Starting tomorrow I will take care of your meals."

Damien got up from his seat and opens a drawer. He walks back to her and hands her a key.

"This is the key to my place in case the code doesn't work. The code to get in is 1-1022. I usually eat breakfast at 8am, lunch at 12.30pm, and dinner at 7pm."

Lisi nods her head in understanding and takes mental notes.

"Wipe that smile off your face! I'm not one of those girls who grows up wanting to be Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty. Besides...you're no prince!"

Damien smile freezes and his eyes was shooting ice darts at her...

"You are far from original." He retorted.

He sat back down and wrote something on it then he handed it to her. She took the piece of paper and looks at it.

I, Lisi will be with Damien for the next three months.

How childish!

"Did you think I would not uphold my promise?"

Damien shrug his shoulders and hands her a pen.

Seeing nothing wrong with it she quickly signs her name on it and gives it back to him.

She got up and left his apartment. She feels happy that she can finally repay him. Once this is done then they won't have anything to do with each other.

But why does she feel like she's the fish that is being lured by the earthworm...?

As soon as Lisi comes back to her apartment she quickly calls Bai Qian. After the fourth ring there's finally an answer on the other end.

"Q...you need to help me this time. I just made a deal with a psychopath." Lisi begs earnestly.

"Speak in a way that I can understand you."

"That crazy friend of yours...Damien!"

A long silence follows...

"Hello? Are you dead or alive?"

Bai Qian secretly smiles on the other end...

"Although I don't know what kind of deal you struck up with Damien. As a friend I can sympathize with you but this time there's no way I can help you."

"Q, you sure cut our ties clearly and feed me to the beast! How can an ordinary citizen like me run into this kind of man!"

"Aren't you a little prejudice towards him? He's not asking anything that's unreasonable right? Besides...you were the one that agreed to everything."

"Bai Qian, why do I feel like you're an evil stepmother ready to sell her daughter to the highest bidder?"

"If that's the case then you are very valuable to that bidder..."

Before Lisi could reply she faintly hears a man's voice.

"Stop...shhh..." Bai Qian chided.

Lisi presses the phone to her ear. She heard faint noises that sounds like kissing and heavy breathing that sounds like a man in heat.

"Hey you two!! How can you be this shameful in broad daylight!"

Then a soft deep voice answers her.

"Yes I'm shameful but only with my wife. Don't you know that maintaining a healthy body increases the overall mental health? If there's nothing else then I wish Ms. Lisi a good day!"

Lisi was speechless...

Men! Their brain is really between their legs...

"Lisi haven't you always complained not attracting bees and butterflies? Now you can enjoy being pursue."

"Damien is nowhere near being a bee or a butterfly. He's a wasp! Who says he's pursuing me? He's out for revenge is more like it."

After a few seconds of silence...

"Hello...?"

The line was cut off...

It seems her status for the next three months is a personal cook. She's looking forward to the day that she no longer will be entangle in any ways with that crazy man. Her luck has gone south since she'd met him.

Oh my freedom...

Bai Qian looks at Mo Yuan silently. How can such words leave his mouth without embarrassment...

Just now didn't he kissed her on purpose...? Taking advantage of her being on the phone.

"Don't be afraid of your reputation. I will take responsibility."

"You are difficult to manage."

"Don't worry. You have a lifetime to practice."

"Who wants to practice with you..."

A dangerous glint appears in his eyes.

"It seems you need to be reminded."

Bai Qian slowly back away.

"You. What do you want..."

"I want to refresh your memory."

A repetitive shrill sound interrupts his heated gaze. He pulls his phone out of his pocket and looks at the screen. Then he push the receive button.

"Hello."

"I got what you needed. Come to the office."

"Come here. We will discuss it in the study room."

"Alright I will be there soon."

Mo Yuan casually throws the phone on the floor and advance towards her.

"I got thirty minutes before Juni comes here. What do you think we should do with that thirty minutes?"

"Uhm...eat...read...play with the children..."

Her back hits the wall. His body presses against hers. She can feel his warm breathe fanning her cheeks. There's no escaping from him now.

"Bai Qian I want to try it here."

She turns her face aside shyly...afraid to look into his eyes.

"Because I can see our body connects intimately with that mirror behind me."

His fingers slowly unbutton her shirt...unzip her skirt...

Before she knows it they were both naked inside their huge walk in closet facing the floor to ceiling mirror.

"Qian Qian...I want to love you."

He sucks on her earlobe and rain kisses from her ear...jawline...cheek...neck...

His hand lift one of her leg up to wrap around his waist. She was standing on her tip toes with her other leg. Both of his hands was on her bottom to slightly lift her up. She can feel his heated body and his standing erection.

His dark gentle eyes look into hers as his fingers stimulate her weak spot.

He stretches her to the fullest and plunge deeply into her.

Their breathe mingles with each other and their breathing quickens.

His warm lips covers hers and she lose all awareness...

"Bai Qian...give me another child. This time I want to experience it together."

His arms and legs were like a dragon...circling her. Their every movements was lead by him. She was wrapped tightly in his embrace.

He thrust deeply and continuously into her...sinking himself into her warmth. His eyes could only see her and all his senses can only feel her.

Their connection was raw...passionate...full of love...
