Sold by My Boyfriend… to My Dad

My CEO boyfriend, Norris Chapman, whom I've been dating for five years, takes me to his childhood home to visit his parents during Christmas.

After that, he proceeds to propose to me in the villa's garden, which was intricately decorated in advance. Happily, I accept his proposal.

I wanted to wait till nightfall before telling Norris that I actually hail from a wealthy family as well, only that I ran away from home after fighting with my dad.

But unexpectedly, Norris drugs me immediately after dinner. By the time I wake up, I'm already bound in ropes.

"I'm sorry, Winnie. I don't have a choice at all. The debt collectors are about to show up on my doorstep soon.

"It's your fault for looking just like the mistress Mr. Greven is looking for. Once I sell you to him, I'll definitely be able to clear my debt right away.

"Since you love me so much, you won't blame me for this, right?"

"Norris, what the hell are you doing? Release me!" I yelled.

A cold smile curled his lips. "Sorry, Winnie. I didn't really have a choice. To be frank, I owe some people money. The debt collectors will be here any day. To pay them back, you'll have to make a little sacrifice. You understand, right?"

My breathing stopped. My lips quivered, and I could barely believe what I had just heard. "Aren't you a CEO? I thought your company had been running perfectly fine. How could—"

"Because it's all a hoax."

He smiled, his expression careless and cruel. "If I didn't look the part, how could I have lured such a perfect prey like you?"

A chill crept up my spine.

For the past five years, I had always believed Norris was the CEO of a corporation worth hundreds of millions. He was polite to everyone he met, and with me, he had always been gentle and attentive.

This Christmas, he had finally said he wanted to bring me home to meet his parents. Naturally, I agreed. When I saw the luxurious villa his family lived in,
