A Love Trap
Chapter 36 The Consequences

The fact that the plan had back-fired on her made Lena really angry.

And whenever she thought of the things that happened between her and that ugly old man last night, it made her stomach churn and her feel more irate.

The man was fat and clumsy with stained yellow teeth and smelly breath. Lena felt like she was going to throw up when she realized that she had sex with a man like that the night before. She felt so disgusted by the whole ordeal.

But that man was still by her side. So however repulsed she felt about it, she had to suppress her feelings and hide her repugnance with smiles. Lena greeted him happily and showered him with compliments for what he did last night. And, even though, Mr. Chen's company was no match for the Mu Group, it was, however, an influential company, anyway.

Lena did have her limits as to what she was prepared to do herself, for the company.

She thought if she were to attend the party along with Ashley, then Ashley wouldn't suspect anything unusual, since she was there with her. And because she was so sure that her plan would work to set Ashley up with Mr. Chen. She didn't feel that it was necessary to bring any other girls with her.

But to her shocking surprise, Ashley managed to escape, leaving Lena behind to deal with Mr. Chen. And because Lena had hinted to Mr. Chen so many times about giving him a 'gift', she couldn't pretend that she didn't know what she was offering him.

She was not only the lady from the Mu family, but also the general manager of the Luo Group. And from Mr. Chen's point of view, when the general manager offered such a gift, it was needless to say that, she needed to put her money where her mouth was. Mr. Chen was a disgusting man. He would never give up the offer of a free 'gift'. Especially, if it was a beautiful young woman who was offering it. So Lena, the one who created the predicament had no other choice but to deal with it and sleep with this man.

After hearing her praise, Mr. Chen wanted to kiss Lena's lips. But Lena turned her face away on purpose and he missed her mouth, so he kissed her hand.

Mr. Chen wasn't at all angry at Lena's gestures, instead, he kissed her hand in a very happy mood.

Lena put him in such a good mood because she gave him compliments about his lovemaking. And what man didn't like to be praised about that?

Men, especially men in the middle ages who were in their forties or fifties, would be very pleased with receiving praising words from a young and beautiful woman.

'But the woman that Lena brought to me yesterday was even better. It's a pity that I didn't get to sleep with her, ' he thought to herself.

'But there is nothing to regret. Since I had another rich, young lady, instead, 'he thought.

There were hickeys all over her arms, which was a sign of their passionate sex last night. 'Lena is indeed a lady. She was born into a rich family and brought up as a lady. Her taste is very different from those who sell their bodies, 'Mr. Chen thought. "Mr. Chen, it's getting late. Why don't we get dressed and go to our company?" Lena said as she smiled sweetly.

But in her mind, she was cursing him in every worst possible way. "I hope that he gets hit by a car as soon as he steps out on the street. And I hope the Chen Group to go bankrupt immediately.'

Lena felt sick. All she wanted to do was to have a shower and scrub this disgusting man's remnants from her body. Just lying in the same bed as him was gross enough to her.

"There's no need to hurry," Mr. Chen chuckled. "We can go another round," he said implying more sex.

After hearing what he had suggested, Lena's smile suddenly went rigid and yet again he was all over her.

Even though he was totally disgusting and old, he was good at the skill of lovemaking. He was able to make Lena forget about how grotesque he was, at least, for a few minutes and made her feel like she was floating on a cloud in the sky. She closed her eyes and got lost in the wonderful feeling that overtook her body and was lost in lust.

However, after a short while, when Lena had reached her climax and her body was relieved of the sexual tension, she lay on her back staring up at the ceiling with anger and hate.

'Ashley!'

'Ashley!'

'Ashley! It's all because of that bitch!' Lena repeated her name in her head each time that Mr. Chen thrust into her and with each thrust, she hated her more and more.

'I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her! It should be that bitch lying here getting fucked by this disgusting troll instead of me!' Lena blamed everything on Ashley in her mind.

'I will torture her, destroy her and kill her a thousand times over! No matter what it costs!' Lena was overwhelmed with hatred in her heart.

It didn't occur to her that if she hadn't set the trap up for Ashley in the first place, none of this would have happened at all.

Just like the old saying goes, 'If you dig a grave for others, you might fall into it yourself.' And so was the case with Lena, she was taking the consequence of her own dirty deeds.

It was the afternoon when Lena had woken up again.

The place next to her in the bed was cold and empty, which meant that Mr. Chen had long gone.

Lena sat up and surveyed the mess in the room. She could still smell the disgusting stench of sex in the room and it reminded her of what she had done. Her fists were so tightly clenched in a rage that her long nails dug into the soft flesh and pierced the skin causing her palm to bleed. But Lena was so numb that she didn't feel the pain. She stared at the bed with daggers in her eyes.

'It's all because of Ashley. It's all her fault! If she hadn't run away, she would have suffered all of this! It should have been her!' Lena thought bitterly.

Mr. Chen was better than Mr. Du, but the way he tortured Lena was as hard as that of Mr. Du.

Mr. Chen even forced her to drink something last night. Something that would light her up inside. With this drug, she was conscious the whole time and aware of what she was doing. However, even though she wanted to refuse him and leave, she couldn't. It was like the drug took over her body and made her want to be touched by him.

She knew exactly what she was doing, but she couldn't control herself. It was because the aphrodisiac that he made her drink was so powerful.

'I actively pleased him, catered to him, said those filthy words to him and even-' she thought to herself.

She tried to stop herself from thinking about everything that happened the night before. But the scenes kept replaying in her mind and wouldn't give her any peace.

Each time she relived the scene in her head she blamed and hated Ashley even more.

Lena sat dazed and numb on the bed for a long time. She didn't realize how long until her phone rang.

It was Raymond's mother, Mrs. Luo who was calling.

After Lena and Raymond got engaged, she began to work in the position as the general manager of the Luo Group. Raymond's mother was nice to her.

However, she knew in her heart, the only reason why Raymond's mother was kind to her was because of her association with the Mu Group.

Once Lena had started working in the Luo Group, she was always at work on time every day. However, this was the first day that she was late.

In this case, late was a gross understatement. It would be more appropriate to say that she was absent for the whole day.

'She must be calling me to ask the reason why I didn't go to the company today, 'Lena thought to herself.

Lena picked up the phone and cleared her throat. She made her voice sound so sweet. Judging by the tone of her voice, one certainly wouldn't be able to tell that she felt so hostile and livid at the moment.

"Hello, Auntie. This is Lena. I'm sorry I didn't go to the company today. Yes. I didn't feel very good today and I didn't have the chance to tell you. No, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. I feel much better right now. I'll go shopping with you next time when I get better. Okay. Thank you. Goodbye, Auntie." Lena spoke on the phone in a soft voice.

After she hung up the phone to Mrs. Luo, she made another call. She needed someone to bring her a fresh suit to get changed into. Lena then threw the phone onto the bed.

She felt that the smell of that man was still all over her body and frowned in disgust. Lena got up from the bed to go to the bathroom to have a shower.

Even though the room wasn't a presidential suite, it was still a high-level room in the hotel. And all the facilities that Lena needed were available to her.

However, when she began to walk to the bathroom the pain that she felt nearly made her faint.

And once again she was painfully reminded of the things that happened the night before. The things that she never wanted to remember.000000
