Get you in my arms Chapter 1 First Meeting

The sun was setting, casting a blanket of darkness over the city.

Street lamps soon lit up, dimly lighting the broad roads. The night brought silence along with it. It was,
of course, different at the North Ring Street just east of Q City. When the sun was down, it meant that
place would soon buzz with life. It was truly a place of wealth and extravagance.

Penisula Hotel, which was situated right at the top of the street, was one of the most luxurious and
most expensive hotels in Asia.

Sophia Ye stood in the elevator of Peninsula Hotel with her hands clenched tightly at her sides. Even
the elevator was lavish. The marble flooring was polished enough that you could see your own
reflection. There was even a tiny chandelier hanging overhead. Sophia sighed loudly. She was dragged
here by her cousin, Maria Ye.

Upon their arrival, someone had told them that Maria's husband, who was about twenty years older
than she was, was at a luxury suite with some other woman. Unable to face the horrid possibility, Maria
Ye urged her cousin to go up and check if it was true.

Sophia Ye was a kind-hearted girl, and had strong viewpoints on what was good and bad. What was
more, she hated fickle men the most. Because of this, she agreed to Maria's request without hesitation.

She would catch that dirty, old man in the act and then punch him right at the face to avenge her
cousin! Sophia nodded to herself, determined with her plan.

"The guest in Room 2801 is really your brother-in-law?" The porter looked at her doubtfully. If she
hadn't said she was related to the man on that floor, the porter would not have allowed her to come in
with him. She nodded as she cast a quick glance at the note her cousin wrote for her, not bothering to
check it twice nor read it carefully the first time around. 'Yes, that bastard is definitely in room 2801.'



"To be honest, I hope that he isn't in that room or else I'm going to whoop his ass! He just is a rich jerk.
He doesn't deserve my cousin at all!" She added. Her angry expression made the waiter no longer
doubt her. "I heard that your brother-in-law isn't just filthy rich. They say he's also a very lustful man
who's a god in bed,"

the porter commented. As soon as the elevator doors opened, Sophia rushed out like a rocket and left
the porter behind.

The presidential suite was truly magnificent. Even the balcony outside was beautifully decorated,
almost just like the imperial palace. As Sophia looked around in awe, she heard a door opening. A
woman was pushed out the room, or more precisely, thrown out. She hit the floor with a loud thud.

Sophia was frozen in shock. The woman lay on the ground motionlessly for a while. Afterwards, a
gorgeous evening gown was thrown out as well, covering her naked body.

"Is this the shameless mistress?" Sophia said as she approached the woman with a sneer.

That woman was really beautiful and attractive, with the face of an angel and the body of an evil
temptress. It was too bad for her to be such a shameful woman.

"Go to the hell!" Sophia spat at the woman. "Well, you are pretty enough to get any man you want. Why
do you sabotage other peoples' families? Isn't it a waste of your youth to date an old man? Don't you
know that if you do so many bad things, karma will eventually catch up with you? I think you must get
used to the life of being lazy and sluggish, and you don't want to work on your own. I hate the kind of
people like you most, who expect to get a free ride from dirty, rich, old men. You're so lewd and brazen
that I'm sure your parents are so ashamed of you if they found out what kind of woman you turned out
to be!" Sophia rambled to the girl as her hands motioned expressively.

The woman gave her a ferocious stare but said nothing back to Sophia. She slowly got to her feet.
"Ouch!" she exclaimed as she stood up. She saw a waiter standing at the door of the elevator and



staring at her. In a hurry, she grabbed her clothes, wrapped herself up, and fled into the elevator.

After the woman left, Sophia couldn't help but think that maybe the old man wasn't as immoral as she
thought he was. At least he still had some sort of conscience.

With these thoughts in her mind, Sophia walked up to the waiter and took the food trolley from him. "Let
me help you with these things."

"Ah... Okay. Thank you..." The waiter nodded in a daze, seeming to be still shocked at what had just
happened.

"What's in it?"

"Ice... Just ice."

"Ice? But it's not even hot in here. Why does he need ice?"

"I don't know. You know how rich men are. They always have their quirks."

Shrugging her shoulders, Sophia didn't say anything more, and then pushed the trolley towards the
room.

The door was ajar, a faint, warm light pouring out the opening. "Brother-in-law?" Sophia called out.
When no one responded, she pushed the door and let herself inside.

It was dark in the room. The light only came through the open glass window. It had a nice effect on the
room, and made it look all the more magnificent.

"Hello?" she called out again in a louder voice. There was still no answer.

Was there any other women inside? Thinking of this, she quickly took out her mobile phone to prepare
for shooting evidence.



All of a sudden, someone had grabbed her from behind, the force was as strong as a hurricane. Before
she could react, a heavy mountainous body was pressed against hers, rendering her unable to move.

The man had no shirt on. Sophia could feel his skin through her clothes. It was as hot as fire. His warm
breath grazed on her face. Without a doubt, this man was very young and strong.

"What are you doing?! Let go of me!" Sophia didn't realize that he was not the old man she was looking
for at all. She struggled desperately and tried to push him away. However, his strength was greater
than hers.

Without a moment's time to react, her shirt was suddenly torn open, the several buttons falling onto the
crystal tea table beside the sofa.

"No --" she was so terrified that tears of humiliation gushed out of her eyes. She used all her strength to
hit and kick the man, but nothing seemed to work. At this point, it seemed that he could not be stopped
at all.

"Help, help, help --" she knew the only thing she could do at the moment was to shout for help. But
there was no one else on the whole floor except the two of them. No one could hear her cry even if she
screamed from the top of her lungs.

The night wind blew in from the open glass window, and the enchanting white curtains were flying in
the dark, like they were ghosts dancing in a fire. As Sophia struggled, she saw a blue and white
porcelain vase under the beam of the cold moonlight. This was her chance.

In one swift movement, she grabbed the vase and smashed it against the man's head.

With a groan, he fell unconscious on her body.

She pushed him away, put on her clothes hastily and rushed out of the room.



The room was so quiet all of a sudden that she could even hear his breath swirling in the air.

She curled up in the stairwell that lead to a fire escape, trembling and sobbing. After some time, she
slowly stood up and went down the stairs.

Maria was still waiting at the entrance of the hotel. When she saw Sophia, she quickly walked up to her.

"How did it go? Was he in there?" Maria asked. Sophia just continued to walk and went out the hotel in
a daze.

"No.. I don't know," Sophia mumbled as she approached their car. She opened the car door and got
inside.

"What happened? Why is your face so pale? Are you feeling unwell?" said Maria, touching her head.

"No. It's nothing," Sophia replied, shrinking back into her seat.

"You were gone for such a long time. What happened?" Maria pouted.

"It's a huge place. I got lost and searched for a long time. When I finally got there, I didn't see anyone.
Maybe they finished up and left," explained Sophia, trying to make her story as convincing as she
could.

Then no matter how much Maria asked for more details, Sophia just fell into silence.

For the entire night, Sophia was not able to sleep well. Nightmares pounded in her head like dark
waves.

If John Xu knew that she had been touched and seen by another man, would he get mad and leave
her?



The thought made her want to disappear from the face of the world. It was a good plan, she thought, to
just disappear and die. Sophia was an ordinary girl.

She came from an ordinary family, with a mediocre academic record, a normal job with a basic income.
Makeup and dressing up were unfamiliar concepts to her. From head to toe, inside and out, she was
average. If she was drowned in the sea, the surface wouldn't even break into ripples. With all that said,
Sophia was very optimistic. There was never a time she became desperate for anything nor did she get
easily discouraged. For her, she believed that if God closes all the doors in front of you, there is a
window somewhere that God has opened.

And for Sophia, John Xu was the window.

John Xu was born in a rich family. Not only did he get good grades--he was also very handsome and
had a well-toned body. It was no surprise that ever since he was young, all the girls in the school were
crazy for him. But in his eyes, Sophia was the only one for him!

How did she get so lucky with him?
