Penulis: Ethereal Realm

Chapter 1

Penulis: Ethereal Realm
I snapped back to reality, the live feed from the camera still rolling.

Liam Smith had totally forgotten that he was on camera.

All he saw was Wendy Gordon, whom he was kissing fiercely.

"Little wildcat, did you miss me as much as I missed you?"

My hand was gripping the phone so tightly that it turned pale, my nails digging into my skin.

I was such an idiot.

The apartment where they were wrapped up in each other was our first place together.

I was kidnapped there, and I have never wanted to go back since.

That was why he felt safe hiding Wendy there.

It was not until late at night that their passion finally calmed down.

"So, who makes you feel better, me or your fiancee?"

Wendy looked at him with eyes full of allure, holding on to him.

Liam stroked her waist.

However, his voice was cold as ice. "You're not even worthy of carrying her shoes.

"I don't want to hurt her. You're just my way to let off steam."

Liam was always so angry and rough after his missions.

He could not handle his emotions and did not know his own strength. He had hurt me before while in one of these moods.

Wendy was upset, and her eyes filled with tears.

Liam just watched her without any warmth or sympathy.

"Sabrina's birthday is in three days. I need to get ready.

"Don't contact me until then."

Before he left, Liam warned Wendy not to cause any trouble in front of me.

However, the moment he was gone, she sent me a text.

[Liam just left. He almost broke me.]

[Ms. Lynch, you're so good at cleaning. Why don't you come over and clean up this mess?]

In everyone's eyes, I was just running a small jewelry design studio. Nobody knew I was secretly the team's hacker.

Three years ago, after an accident, I somehow ended up connected to a system.

My mission was to win over Liam, the leader of Moravia's top mercenary group.

I had been through thick and thin with Liam in a far-off land, and it made him start to really like me.

I had finished what I came here to do, but I could not bring myself to say goodbye to this place.

I was hoping to put it off for as long as I could.

However, I finally had a reason to leave now.

Wendy sent me a bunch of pictures.

The floor was littered with condoms and ripped-up lace underwear.

My heart hurt, but I tried to stay cool. I could not stop my hands from shaking as I saved the security camera footage.

"Sabrina, I'm almost home, and I've got your favorite cake," Liam said over the phone, his voice so warm and deep.

I used to love his voice so much. My heart used to skip a beat whenever he spoke to me.

However, all I could think about now was how he told Wendy to get into bed with that same voice. I felt sick to my stomach, shaking all over with disgust.

Liam grew worried, asking what was wrong, and started driving faster than ever.

    I had to drink some strong grown-up juice to calm my nerves.Liam was like a shadow in this world, with no papers to prove who he was. I thought that meant he would be dealt with quickly.However, I was wrong about him.Being a shadow actually made it easier for him to move around.On my birthday, he was waiting outside my building with a strawberry cake."Sabrina, I made this strawberry cake just for you."I held my car keys really tightly and did not say a word.Liam smelled like he had been in a terrible fight, and it was gross.He looked a little sorry when he noticed."I'm sorry, Sabrina. I had to go back to doing some bad things."I know I told you I'd quit. It's my fault, and you can be mad at me all you want..."But you can't get away from me again."He was acting really intensely and scarily.My heart was pounding hard, and I was sweating from being so nervous.I tried to call for help, but my fingers would not work.Liam's eyes got all red as he asked me, "I we

    Time sure did fly by. My birthday was just around the corner.About a week ago, the agent told me someone wanted to see my old place.I glanced at the reports in my hand and felt a bit bad as I said, "Could you show them around? I'll be there soon."When I got to the apartment, the buyer stormed out, pale and angry."This place is a mess! How could you even think of selling it?"They stomped off, and the agent who came out after them gave me a strange look."Are you trying to mess with me?"I just can't sell this place for you."I was confused and went inside.Right there in the doorway, a woman lay naked on the floor.She was covered in black words from head to toe.I had to look really close to see the names 'Sabrina' and 'Sabrina Lynch' written on her skin.The woman was breathing hard and slowly looked up at me with a face I knew too well.It was Wendy."What are you doing here?!"She glared at me with a weird expression.I got the shivers and asked her loudly, "Wha

    Liam stared in amazement at the vanishing villa, tears of happiness streaming down his face."It's all possible... Everything's possible!"Sabrina, I promise I'll apologize to you face-to-face!"I dismissed the screen with an icy wave of my hand, not sticking around to see Liam's next move.He dragged Wendy down to the apartment's basement.Wendy was frightened, her face ghostly white as she huddled up in a corner.Liam tied her up tightly, his voice dark and scary. "You wanted to be wild? Well, now you'll get more than you bargained for."He brought down all the props he had used before with Wendy, as well as a bunch of new ones, and did not stop making her life miserable. Wendy cried and begged until she could not even speak."You think I didn't know you were in cahoots with the Ghost?" Liam asked softly.Wendy shook all over, staring at him, terrified."You were the one who ran into him when he came to grab someone from the apartment. You gave away our address and the pass

    When I came back to the real world, the system should have let go on its own.It was just my luck that I got stuck with a trainee system that could not cut ties between me and the mission world completely.Liam had lost it, writing letter after letter that made no sense. He kept buying things and saying they were for me. "Sabrina loves it when I wear this," he said to himself, looking really tired.He printed out a picture and signed my name on it. In a flash, the picture turned into a mess of numbers and letters and vanished."You like the river, so I got a house there," he said."Sabrina, it's yours."He almost went crazy trying to put my name on the house papers, but the salesperson at the office stopped him."Sir, you can't give a house to someone who isn't real."Liam got so mad that he flipped a table and started yelling at the sales office."What are you talking about?! Sabrina is real!"She's my fiancee, the woman I love the most!"However, he could not show any proo

    Liam held his breath, his nails digging into his palm until blood poured out.The memories swirling in his head were so painful that he felt like he could not bear it.He had nearly forgotten about his Sabrina too.With a shattered sigh, the vase that had disappeared was suddenly back on the coffee table, just like before.Liam looked at the vase with a heavy heart, his voice rough and chilling."You're back..."Sabrina, you'll come back like this too, won't you?"There were so many things coming through to me that I did not even notice the tissue box was strange.When the system rebooted, it told me it could not erase my memories.[Liam's obsession with the host is at Level 99. Memory wipe is not possible.]I scowled, annoyed, thinking that this was like a bad dream that would not end.[People from other worlds can't break through the barrier, can they?]The system had promised that before.Now, it was clear the system was a mess and not to be trusted.The system did not

    "The patient who's been in a coma for ages is awake!""It's a medical miracle!"Doctors swarmed around my bed.After a lot of fussing, I finally got to breathe.Once I knew I was all healed from the car crash, I got ready to leave the hospital.When I pushed open my front door, which had been closed for so long, a stale smell greeted me.However, what was even more disturbing were the things in my house that should not have been there."System, why are there items from the mission world here?"I looked around and saw 'Sabrina Lynch's' documents.There was a household registration, a diploma, and even my jewelry designs and hacker gear.Those things had just popped up messily on the coffee table.[The system is cleaning up the things you left in the mission world.]I was annoyed and just chucked everything into the trash.I could not be bothered to deal with it all, so I complained to the system's customer service.At the same time, Liam had a tight grip on Wendy's neck.
