A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 523 That Man

"Because I should be getting married soon! I love Winnie. She doesn't cause trouble and doesn't play tricks. She doesn't bother me too much and most importantly, she's gentle and intelligent and can help me!" he said heartlessly.

But she was stunned. The person she loved the most was going to marry someone else and was talking about her good points.

Her heart was broken, broken into million pieces. It was bleeding, it was hurting!

Esther bit her lips and blinked her large eyes repeatedly. She tried to look strong, on her long lashes were dews of tears but she wasn't crying. She stared at Hudson, "Mr. Ball, then I'll wish you the best. I'm fine, I just want to go shopping. I'll be back when I'm tired! Also, don't make someone follow me! Otherwise, you know, I'll run away!"

Hudson was taken aback, there was a hint of sorrow deep in his eyes but it disappeared in an instant, "Fine, go!"

"Let's go!" said Esther coldly to the driver. She stopped crying but the agony was all over her face.

Around midnight at K Bar.

The moment she went into the bar she was shocked by the atmosphere! It was lit!

She was about to turn around and leave but she suddenly heard people bidding, "Three hundred thousand for a night!"

"Four hundred thousand!"

"Five hundred thousand!"

"Come with me, I'll pay eight hundred thousand!"

Esther was stunned. She looked in that direction dumbfoundedly.

She then saw a beautiful man standing in the middle of the stage. He had long black hair and flawless facial features. His eyes were cold and expressionless. He was standing on the stage just like that, ignoring the crazy old women bidding below the stage.

"Ah, Winter, Winter... My Winter... You're so handsome!"

"Winter... You belong to me tonight!"

Shit, this was a host club. The women were trying to buy that man! The man on the stage looked wintry and resigned. He obviously disliked the women, so why would he stay there?

Esther suddenly felt sorry for him. A man like that could only wait to be bought by these thirsty and crazy old women. She couldn't help but walked over and yelled, "Two million, he's mine tonight!" Everyone was stunned hearing her, they looked back and stared at Esther.

Esther blinked and her mouth felt bitter. She glanced at the plump women who had heavy make-up on and felt disgusted. She looked into their thirsty eyes, they seemed like they would wring him dry. Whatever, she would be nice this time around and rescue him!

The price she yelled out stunned everyone, even the men in the rooms on the second floor were taken aback. They all looked down unconsciously.

"Two million, deal or no deal? Can he come with me now?" Esther threw her gold card on the counter.

It was quiet and everyone was looking at this cute little lady like she was some rare animal. They couldn't believe that she came here to buy a man at such a young age!

"Five million!" growled a man with a deep voice from upstairs. Everyone looked up to the second floor. There was smoke around him, she couldn't make out the man's expression due to the faint light and the smog. Though, she could see his sharp and laser-like gaze through the dark.

The man stood up and walked downstairs.

Esther frowned, she only knew that the man moved and she was still staring at the second floor.

She was distracted by the person on the stage, but she now lost interest. Five million, she didn't have that much on her card. She was depressed, to begin with, and didn't want to deal with people right now. Mr. Ball was going to marry someone else, nothing meant anything to her now!

Before that man could approach her, she grabbed her card and looked at the man on the stage, "Sorry, I don't have that much money and I cannot save you!"

The man on the stage was slightly taken aback, he finally took a good look at Esther.

She was about to turn around and leave when someone stopped her. She walked into a person's wide and warm chest. The scent of cologne and the waft of stale cigarette smoke attacked her senses and she stumbled a few steps backwards.

"Sorry, please excuse me!" She didn't even look up and tried to walk to the other side.

But the person grabbed her shoulder. She was stunned, she saw a slender hand grabbing her wrist.

She looked up annoyedly and they exchanged glances. The man stared at her, he didn't think that he would meet her here.

The person before him, her cute face was filled with misery. Her eyes were swollen and it was obvious that she cried. She had a nice-looking neck and a large set of eyes. She stared at him with both eyes wide open because she recognized this person!

After that, there was curiosity in Elijah's eyes. He arched his sexy lips and smirked wickedly. He snorted, "Miss Price, so we meet again!"

She remembered this face and this voice. He was the man from the casino...

Suddenly, she felt like blood all over her body coagulated. She never would've thought that the handsome man she bumped into would be Elijah.

What a coincidence!

She felt unlucky, she was bidding against him. The man who yelled five million was him! She decided to pretend not to know him, "Sir, the man on the stage is yours!"

Elijah glanced at the man on the stage. He waved his hand and the man was brought away!

Elijah was wearing a white cotton t-shirt and it showed off his buff body. His long cotton pants also showed off his long legs. He looked cold but arrogant and gave people a sense of bewitchment. His wintriness sent a shiver down her spine.

Esther wanted to run away but her wrist was seized tightly by Elijah.

"Sor-sorry sir! You have the wrong person!" Esther tried to apologize again and she lowered her head. She glanced around nervously, trying to plan an escape route.

Elijah grimaced and stood in front of Esther. He stared at her and smirked frigidly, "Miss Price, not only you're good at escaping, but you're also good at feigning innocent!"

"What? I don't know what you're talking about, please get out of my way! The man on the stage is yours, I don't have enough money. And I should leave now!" said Esther as she tried to push him away. His chest was so hard, what was it made of?

She withdrew her hurting hands and glared at him all miffed, her eyes were hurting because they were swollen from crying and it hurt even more after she glared at him. She grimaced, "Get out of my way!" "Are you still able to get away?" Elijah asked coldly.

Elijah wasn't as elegant and handsome as Mr. Ball, but under the dim light the man's cold and stern face was giving out an air of arrogance and frigidness. He stood out and at this moment, she hated herself for provoking someone like this.

"What do you want? Say it!"

"You owe me a night!"

Hearing that, Esther's face twisted. Her eyes were already teary from crying for so long and at this moment, tears welled up in her eyes again. She growled frustratedly, "I didn't owe you anything, I didn't. Why are you bullying me? Why are you not letting me go?"

"Let's leave together!" Elijah yanked her wrist.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Esther wanted to pull her hand back, but he was grasping her so tightly. She couldn't break free, and she quickly yelled, "Help, he's harassing me! He's a pervert!"

Her yelling attracted the attention of many women below the stage.

Esther was pleased by the results and she used the chance to yelp, "Help me, please save me. I don't know this man!"

Elijah had an odd look in his dark eyes and he looked at Esther who was yelling at the top of her lungs scornfully.

Fine, great! He would play her game, she was the one who started it.

He noticed that a lot of people were looking at them. He put up his best face and let out a suffocating and alluring air around him.

Suddenly, he grabbed Esther's waist and pulled her close to him, "Honey, stop it, I'll apologize! Let's go home, our baby is crying and hungry! How could you come here and pay for another man? Am I not enough?"

"What?" Esther was shocked. What in the world was going on, she looked up and her bright eyes met his dark eyes. They were dark and unpredictable. He smirked slightly as he pursed his lips and he was obviously mocking her.

He sure could put on a show.

"Hey! I don't know you!" she bawled. She wasn't in the mood to play with him, she wanted to die just a few seconds ago.

"Oh, it was just a pair of quarrelling couples! Miss, how could your handsome husband be a pervert? Go home and take care of your child! Don't snatch the fun of us lonely women. You should appreciate what you have!" said someone from the crowd.

"What? No, he's lying. I don't know him! Help me!"

Elijah grinned wintrily. His eyes started to fill with cold murderous intent. He lowered his voice and whispered, "Be good, or I'll kiss you right here right now!"

"What did you want to do?" Esther was dumbfounded.

Elijah slowly inched closer and his smile gave her goosebumps.

He grabbed her chin abruptly and kissed her on the lips without any hesitation.

He held down her head with his other hand, not letting her break free. As she was in a daze, he put his tongue in her mouth and licked the insides of her mouth.

The effect of this kiss was more than what he imagined. He slowly closed his eyes and kissed her even more deeply.

They were kissing deeply at the bar, ignoring the people around them.

Everything was happening too quickly. Esther thought she was hallucinating.

But then she heard breathing noises from around her and quickly snapped back to reality.

"Elijah, die!" She raised her leg, aimed at the area around his lower body and kicked it swiftly.

How dare he took the first kiss that she kept for Mr. Ball in public?! She felt a sharp pain in her heart as she thought about Mr. Ball.

Why did he want to marry someone else?

Elijah wasn't going to lose, he kicked her back on the side and hugged her tightly in his arms. He then picked her up, "Baby, let's go home!"

Acting seemed like an easy feat! Elijah blinked his profound eyes and got into a luxurious car with Esther in his arms.

"Pervert, freak, weirdo!" Esther tried to break free, and she rubbed her lips with her hands repeatedly. Her eyes were red, she wanted to rub away the warmth he left on her lips.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
