Sadie obediently snuggled into his arms, willing herself to remain still.

Perhaps due to exhaustion, she fell asleep quickly, nestled softly in his arms, as tame as a kitten...

Micah couldn't sleep; he looked down at the woman in his hold, his brow slightly creased.

Her body was beautiful, every part perfectly so, each inch of skin as smooth as milk.

Having her so close to him now, how could he not feel restless?

But Micah couldn't touch her...

He carefully removed his arm, went to the bathroom for a cold shower, and did a hundred push-ups before he began to feel somewhat relieved. Then, wrapped in a bathrobe, he chose to sleep on the couch instead. Being further away made it less painful...

Somehow, whether from his presence or an inherent sense of security despite all that had happened, Sadie was able to fall asleep, and deeply at that.

She awoke with the dawn, the morning light faintly illuminating through the window.

Instinctively, she reached for the pillow beside her...

Where was he?

Gone.

She quickly sat up and called out loud, "Male escort, Male escort!"

No response came.

Wrapping herself in his towel, Sadie searched the room but found no one.

There was a post-it note stuck on the mirror. Squinting at it, she read his message: "I've left. There are clothes that were prepared for you in the wardrobe. Breakfast can be ordered to your room. After breakfast, the manager will arrange a car to take you to work."

Signed with a drawing of a little devil with horns.

Sadie let out a snort of laughter. That scrawled handwriting and the drawing warmed her heart suddenly...

In fact, aside from his profession, he was almost perfect. Sadie quickly shook her head, trying not to dwell on such thoughts.

She needed to focus on the real problem now, and that was none other than Micah. Insisting she sign that debt settlement agreement to repay a hundred million dollars! Good heavens, wasn't that practically selling herself to him? She cupped her forehead, feeling considerably vexed.

This devil had actually learned to extort people.

Initially, she had done the same to extort the Male escort, forcing him to split half of his earnings over three months with her...

Sadie suddenly froze at that thought.

No, if Alan isn't the male escort, then that must mean Micah is the one.

But that day, she clearly saw him get into a car, and then the male escort came in another car to pick her up...

She carefully recalled the scene from that day and realized that the male escort who picked her up seemed more like Alan.

Could it be that Alan had been impersonating him since that day?

But if Micah was the real male escort, why on earth would he allow Alan to impersonate him?

Sadie's mind was in turmoil, and she couldn't untangle her thoughts at the moment...

Yet, she was now convinced that her previous suspicions were correct and that Micah truly was the male escort.

The way the two men resembled each other in appearance, right down to the look in their eyes, their tone of voice, their gait; even the very aura they exuded were strikingly similar... She must replace answers quickly, to avoid being toyed with at their mercy.

However, right now, her most pressing issue was the matter of the red necklace...

If she didn't act quickly, she would be forced to sign the debt repayment agreement, and then she would be trapped for the rest of her life!

Sadie quickly washed up, changed her clothes, and was about to head to the office, when her phone's shrill ringing suddenly ripped her out of her thoughts.

It was Brenda calling; "Miss, we've found the bracelet!"

"Really? Where?"

"You'll see when you come back."

Sadie glanced at the time; it was only six thirty. She hurried downstairs to hail a cab and rush back home.

"Mummy..." Mia ran over from a distance and threw herself into Sadie's arms, pointing at the balcony, babbling, "Coco, it's naughty, so naughty..."

Because she was so overly excited, Mia's little face turned bright red, her grape-sized eyes wide open, her small mouth pursed, about to cry...
