Don't fool me, Ex. I'll never marry you (again). Chapter 14
Tonight, the city skyline looks like a spilled ink stain—dark, thick, and seemingly ready to swallow anyone who lets their guard down. In this place, I no longer need to wear the mask of the naive fiancée. Here, I no longer have to steady my heartbeat to remain calm when Mike stares at me with those hawk-like eyes full of suspicion.In my previous life, this door was a set of bars. But now, this door is the boundary between the prey and the predator. And tonight, I have already decided who the prey will be.I walk toward the velvet sofa in the corner of the room. The light from the skyscrapers outside pierces through the glass window, casting a cold, bluish silhouette across my furniture. I intentionally leave the lights dimmed. In the darkness, my sense of hearing always works much sharper.I pick up the tablet lying on the coffee table, opening it with a single swipe of my finger, and put on my earphones. The screen immediately lights up, displaying a green sound wave graph that

"If I find out who's playing around with my signature scent, I'll make sure they never work in any industry ever again for the rest of their life." Mike said it right to my face, his breath smelling of bitter coffee and thick rage. I only blinked slowly, staring at my own reflection in his dark eyes, while inside my pocket, the bug seemed to throb, demanding to be planted immediately.This room was the peak of Mike's power. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls displayed a haughty city skyline, the furniture dominated by wood. It was silent, except for the ticking of the wall clock that sounded like a time bomb's countdown.Mike had just stepped out after receiving a call from one of his staff. I stood frozen in the middle of the room, not moving right away. I knew Mike was a man obsessed with security.My eyes moved slowly, mapping every corner of the room. One. A small, hidden black dome camera covered the entrance area. Two. In the corner of the bookshelf, watching over the main desk. I

"You truly are lucky, honey. And I will make sure you keep feeling that way forever," Mike whispered in the studio that night. I returned his embrace, yet my eyes stared coldly at the hidden red folder. I had learned one thing: to destroy Mike, I had to destroy the people around him first. Starting with Lucy.Monday morning arrived with a sky that appeared brighter than usual. My footsteps echoed with a calm rhythm as I entered the lobby of Mike’s skyscraper. I carried a lunch bag with graceful movements, as if I were truly a loving and devoted fiancée. However, behind the thin smile I had polished with soft red lipstick, a surprise was already waiting in the center of the lobby.My gaze went straight to the vast reception desk. There, a giant bouquet had become the center of attention for every staff member and client passing by. The arrangement of roses and white lilies looked majestic, standing tall among the minimalist office decor.That scent. The sharp aroma of sandalwood and

"We’re here, Honey."Mike’s low voice entered my ears, followed by the touch of his hands removing the black cloth tied over my eyes. As the cloth fell, I blinked several times. The warm light from the chandelier greeted me, but a chill instantly crept through my bones as I realized where I was standing.I was inside Mike’s private studio.In my past life, this place was a forbidden area. A sacred fortress where not a single person, including me, was allowed to set foot. Mike always kept this door locked tight, making it a room of mystery inhabited only by his ambitions. But now, he was bringing me here as if I were a special guest—or perhaps, prey finally entering the predator's den."Honey, you’re the first woman to ever set foot in here," Mike whispered possessively. He led me toward a large wooden table in the center of the room. There, something was covered by a white silk cloth that contrasted with the studio light.With a slow and dramatic movement, Mike pulled the cloth a

I returned to the table with a smile that was perfectly sincere in its falsehood. I stepped as if the heavy burden weighing down my shoulders had just evaporated into thin air. On the surface, I was merely Bella, Mike's naive bride-to-be, intoxicated by love; but beneath that, I was an executioner waiting for the moment of execution.Mike stared at me sharply. "Is everything okay, Darling?" he asked. His voice was heavy, filled with a concern that I knew was only forced to maintain his image as the ideal man."Of course, Darling. Lucy just needs a little time to compose herself. You know how much she loves that silk dress, and my clumsiness earlier must have given her a bit of a shock," I answered calmly while tucking a few strands of hair behind my ear. I sat back down, positioning myself with the elegance of a queen.Before Lucy had a chance to return from the restroom, Mike slipped his hand inside the expensive blazer that clung to his well-built body. He pulled out a small wood

The clinking of silver utensils against fine porcelain plates became the only background music at our table.The Glass House was actually very quiet this afternoon, but to me, every clink sounded like the ticking of a time bomb. Mike had just put down his fork, then leaned back in his chair with the arrogance that was his trademark. He looked at me with a nauseating glint of possession. Just as I was about to return his fake smile, a shadow appeared and stopped right beside our table. A sharp and familiar scent of perfume entered my nostrils before the figure was even visible."Mike? Bella?"I looked up slowly, putting on the most convincing expression of surprise.She was wearing a cream-colored silk dress that fit her body perfectly—a dress that I felt was far too luxurious just for "lunch." She looked surprised, a very natural act, the kind of acting she used to use to fool me for years in the past."Lucy! My god, the world is so small," I said in a manufactured cheerful tone. I im
