Chapter 3

All my life, I’d never experienced being hung upside down like that.

After all, my mom was a so-called corporate tycoon in the entertainment industry. Four million dollars in ransom was pocket change to her.

My name is Asher.

My mom’s a tycoon, and my dad’s a hottie.

Yeah, that’s right.

Actually, I don’t even know who my dad is, because my mom has had so many boyfriends, but without exception, they were all good-looking.

Since I couldn’t find my dad, I grew up living with my mom.

Even though I never lacked money, I was the slowest kid in the family, so I had the lowest status and had to do everything.

I once asked my mom where my dad went.

She said he could go wherever he wanted, as long as he didn’t bother her.

When my mom was in a bad mood, she liked to take it out on me because I was the most obedient and easy-going.

I was always walking on eggshells, watching every word, worried I’d make her mad enough to kick me out.

Who knew?

She hadn’t even kicked me out yet when I got kidnapped.

My hard times were about to begin.
