That Stranger Lying Beside Me

"Can you clarify how much Ashley paid you for your services that evening?" William queried, looking genuinely puzzled. "You must be referring to the woman who approached me and requested my company for the night," Valeria explained hesitantly. With an emotionless expression, William turned to face Valeria, "I'm not sure I understand your thoughts on this situation." William was taken aback, wondering if such a dashing and wealthy individual could really be a procurer. --- "Valeria Brown hailed from a wealthy family, the Browns, but her life took a dark turn. Her best friend Ashley, along with Ashley's mother, had plans to exploit Valeria's fortune. Adding to her troubles, Mason, her long-time boyfriend, betrayed her by cheating with Ashley. Valeria caught them in a compromising moment inside a car. However, Ashley showed no remorse. Instead, she drugged Valeria and arranged for a pimp to deflower her. Fortunately, a stranger intervened and chased the pimp away. When Valeria regained consciousness, she found herself waking up next to this attractive stranger. Initially upset upon learning he was the pimp, she later discovered that this same stranger, who saved her from the situation and shared a night with her, was none other than the wealthiest CEO in town."
