A Game of Seduction

It was in the evening. The last light in the room had turned blue, and everything had gone dim.Jason hugged me from behind and rubbed my earlobe, his slender fingers trailed slowly over my skin. "Are you hungry for food? Or are you hungry for something else?"I turned around and answered him with a heated kiss."You've made up your mind?" Jason held himself back, his self-control almost gone.I nodded. Maybe I should have made this choice a year ago, instead of stubbornly holding on to Samuel.No one knew Jason was my landlord.This apartment was his private property.I needed a studio with a river view, so the agent had recommended this apartment to me.When I first met Jason, I did not know he was Samuel's friend. I had only heard from the agent that Jason had been born rich. His family was powerful, but he rarely relied on them.Later, I saw him again at a gathering. He seemed out of place among Samuel's friends due to how cold he was.Samuel had played this game of seduc

"It's fine. You can look through my phone whenever you want. But please remember to give me a chance to explain things," Jason said to me.Well, he had used my birthday as his password. His feelings for me could not have been more obvious.I buried my face in his shoulder.Samuel and I had been together for so many years, but I had only gotten his phone password after crying and becoming a drama queen. Then, the password for his phone was Gemma's birthday.Thinking about it now, it was almost funny. I continued making a fuss about it and demanded that he change it to my birthday, but Samuel mocked me for being childish and for insisting on comparing myself to the person he considered his little sister.After that, he gave me the silent treatment for a month. In the end, I was the one who went to him to apologize. Samuel seemed to have gotten a taste for it after that, and he insisted on doing it again.He left me completely exhausted.Maybe both Jason and I had secrets we could

I held my phone in my hand, and the group chat was on the screen.Just ten minutes ago, Samuel had asked in the group: [Where did Nina run off to? @JasonRivers]Jason had been following me, so of course he had not replied. Soon, someone else in the group answered him.[I saw them. I saw Jason follow Nina toward the parking lot.][I saw Nina holding Jason's hand.]Someone teased him immediately: [Jason is moving that fast? Samuel, you're almost there.]Everyone afterward sent the same message: [Congratulations, Samuel!]Someone also said: [Alright, Samuel! Time to pay up!]But Samuel sent a voice message and said, "Get lost, all of you!"Everyone was baffled and the group chat quickly fell silent.I timed the entire thing and kissed Jason passionately right in front of Samuel.Samuel quickly rushed over with a dark expression and yanked me away from Jason. He roared at me, "Nina! You… You're shameless! How dare you cheat on me!"I shook off his hand. "That's right. Surprised

After what had happened, I heard Gemma had tried to get with some other wealthy heirs in their social circle, but no one was willing to bother with her.In the end, she had nowhere left to go and could only beg Jason for his help.When she knocked on Jason's door, I was drinking tea in the study. Jason glanced at the app on his phone and saw that it was Gemma through the security camera at the door."Do you want to see her?" he asked me.I nodded. "I'm curious what she wants from you."I hid in the study and left the door open a little, just enough to hear their conversation. Meanwhile, Jason had only opened the door a little and did not invite Gemma inside."Are we even acquaintances?" he asked directly.Gemma sounded a little anxious. "Jason, we were friends at least."Jason did not seem to want to waste words on her as he frowned and looked at her, narrowing his eyes.Gemma grew uncomfortable under his gaze and seemed to realize that acting cute would not work on him. She t

I took a few steps back and looked around the once-white hospital, now filled with balloons and flowers that made this place look like it belonged in a fairytale.It brought back the memories of my humiliation in the past.In the fourth year of our relationship, I wanted to marry Samuel so badly. I secretly drew a sketch of the proposal venue myself. I imagined Samuel getting down on one knee and proposing to me there, as if I were once again a little girl. I even quietly set up the proposal venue according to my design.In the end, Gemma found out about it first. She told Samuel to use the venue I had decorated for her dog as she mocked me. Her Chihuahua was having its third birthday. Without saying another word, Samuel turned the venue I had decorated into a birthday party for a dog.He did not even ask my opinion about it.I cried at home for three days because I felt so upset, but in the end, I still went back to Samuel like some stray. Those old humiliations cut into my heart
