Part 2The Villainess’s Guide to Damage Control

Based on the storyline I had awakened to, this man was Silas Sterling, the second son of the powerful Sterling family. He was notorious in high society for being stoic, almost celibate, and completely uninterested in marriage.
His older brother, apparently tired of Silas’s lack of a love life, had drugged him to drag him out of his shell. The plan was for him to have a one-night stand with a "pure and innocent" college girl.
As fate—or a lazy writer—would have it, I had kidnapped the main character, Sophie, and the thugs decided on their own to deliver her to Silas’s bed as the perfect candidate.
Because Silas was out of his mind from the drug, when Sophie violently resisted, she not only lost her virginity but ended up beaten and broken, her spirit crushed.
That led to Elias, my childhood best friend, hating me with a burning passion and vowing to destroy me.
Now, I was here to fix it.
Sophie was safe.
If I played my cards right from now on, minded my own business, and stopped trying to win Elias over, maybe—just maybe—he wouldn't ruin my life later.
I just had to get through this one night.
