When I Met You

Chapter 34 How Did It Feel To Be With Ed

On the next day at the Banya Villa.

As soon as Ryan made sure things were in order, he went to the wine cellar. He chose a few bottles of

fine wine and brought them to a row of elegant rooms. He opened one of the doors. It was about two

hours from the gathering.

Vanessa wore a dark red long dress. Her long curls made her look extremely seductive. She looked at

Ryan and said, “Come in, Ryan.”

Ryan placed the wine into Vanessa’s wine cabinet, looked at her, and said, “Just bear with it for five

hours. Everything will be fine after that.”

Vanessa nodded and looked at Ryan with gratitude, “Thanks. Will there be any problems?”

“Relax, there won’t be. This drug is extremely effective. The effects are the same as alcohol and cannot

be detected even if it is tested at the hospital.”

After Ryan explained, Vanessa was satisfied and thanked Ryan once again.

Ryan looked pitifully at Vanessa. Although Vanessa started her career as a porn star … he was clearer

than anyone of how strong and pure she was. How she redeemed herself from her sordid past.

Vanessa had a very difficult upbringing. In fact, it can be said that she went through hell while she grew

up. Vanessa’s stepfather was a gambler and her mother was a weakling. They had to repay a mountain

of debts and her stepfather decided to sell Vanessa.

At that time Vanessa was attending the University and studied acting. A director noticed her and

wanted her to act in a tasteful porn movie. Vanessa didn’t agree and even berated the director. But

when her stepfather wanted to sell her and she demanded her stepfather if she could pay for his debts,

he wouldn’t sell her. Her stepfather agreed and she called the director. She knelt for a night and then

took off her clothes to take pictures in all sorts of positions to pass the selection. Then the film was shot

with two versions. The artistic version was submitted and won international accolades. However, the

uncut and pornographic version was stolen by a worker and leaked. Instantly, Vanessa became the

purest porn star.

When Ryan and Edward knew her, she had long left the porn industry but everyone still considered her

as a porn star. When Edward was with Vanessa, he used all sorts of ways to clean up her image. But in

Ryan’s heart, no one was as pure as Vanessa.

Ryan didn’t say anything else to Vanessa and turned to leave. He walked to the lobby to welcome his

guests…

Susan wore casually since it was a private affair and didn’t think much of it. When she arrived with

Edward at Banya Villa, there were already five limited edition luxurious cars in the parking lot. Susan

stared at the cars and Edward made Susan compose herself when he said, “If you like them, I’ll buy a

few and park them at home.”

Edward said calmly and Susan quickly grabbed Edward’s arm and followed him in. As they walked in,

she asked curiously, “Hubby, you’re letting me meet your friends but do they know that ours is a

contract marriage?”

“Yes,” Edward answered calmly.

“Then… after I meet your friends today and … when we divorce, will it…”

“Don’t worry.”

“Did they marry their wives out of true love?” Susan realized as soon as she asked the question that

she had said too much. When did she become so inquisitive? In the past, she just went along with

whatever Edward arranged. She quickly kept quiet and continued to walk in with Edward.

Banya Villa was a large villa district. There was a large lake with a pavilion in the middle of it. There

were three men and three women sitting and chatting happily in the pavilion. When Susan arrived with Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Edward, all of them stood up to greet them.

Ryan walked over from a distance. Edward pointed to Ryan and introduced to Susan, “This man is the

owner of Banya Villa, Ryan. He is fourth in the pecking order.”

“This is big brother, Leon.”

“I’m number two.”

“This is third brother, Luke.”

“This is fifth brother, Louis.”

“Susan.” Edward pointed to Susan and introduced her to them.

Before Susan nodded in acknowledgment, someone stood up and sized up Susan and said, “Wow, this

is the renowned Susan. What an honor! You are really capable!”

Susan didn’t know what he meant by ‘capable’.

Luke stood up as well and placed a hand on Susan’s shoulder, “What Louis meant was anyone who

could control Edward is capable, even though… it’s a contract marriage.”

“Because… Edward is compulsive about cleanliness, especially when it came to women.” Luke added.

What he said sparked Susan’s curiosity but she was interrupted by Ryan before she could ask. Edward

quietly removed Luke’s hand from Susan’s shoulder. They all sat together while a fruits platter and

some snacks were served. They began to play some games.

Susan couldn’t believe that these were Edward’s best friends and they enjoyed themselves as they

played but Edward maintained his cold and lofty manner.

Leon was the oldest and more mature. Now that his wife was pregnant, he kept looking after her. She

couldn’t figure out Ryan. Outwardly he looked very friendly but when she looked into his eyes, she felt

that he seemed shifty and unsettled.

After several rounds of drinks, Luke suddenly stood up and suggested to everyone, “We all know that

Edward and Susan were contractually married and this marriage is coming to an end. Before the

marriage ends, I specially came up with this game to let us better understand both of you!”

“I’ll close my eyes as the judge. You’ll pass the flower around and when I shout stop, whoever holding

onto the flower will have to speak the truth. Okay?”

Everyone understood as soon as Luck explained. Susan kept quiet while Edward didn’t object so

everyone felt that they agreed.

They started the game and the first one who held onto the flower was Susan.

Luke asked a very provocative question, “How did it feel when you had sex with Ed for the first time?”
