Chapter 3 A Shocking Revelation

Author: Perfect Timing
My heart thundered wildly in my chest, beating so fast I was afraid it might burst.

Fortunately, I found patches of dirt on the shoes.

Ivan had always known I was a clean freak, and he always made sure that he looked presentable around me.

I quickly pieced together who it was and forced myself to stay calm.

I folded the papers and rose to meet the newcomer. "What's the rush?"

It was Dylan Gardner, who worked almost like an assistant to both Ivan and me.

"Reese, what are you doing in the office?" he asked.

His gaze fell on the papers in my hand. "What were you doing just now?"

I pulled out the drawer, put everything back, and explained, "I dropped the documents and had to pick them up."

It immediately convinced him.

After all, Ivan and I were engaged. It was nothing new that I appeared in Ivan's office.

Dylan had only come to deliver some documents. Since Ivan was not around, he did not stay long.

We left the office together, but I could not get my disturbing discovery out of my mind.

'Who the hell are you, Ivan Campbell?'

At that moment, my vision blurred abruptly. Then, a wall of thick comments flooded my vision.

'So, she's the next victim, huh?'

'The last three thought they could change Ivan and insist on marrying him, although they found his secret, and look where it got them. This one is even dumber, completely blinded by love. I bet she thinks he can still be redeemed. Little does she know, he doesn't love her at all.'

'Who does she think she is? Nobody asked her to save Ivan. He’s way out of her league. She’s nothing but a cheap whore.'

'We need more villainous male leads! I wonder how this woman would die this time. I can't wait to see it! Now Ivan is what I call a true villain. God, it’s so satisfying to see those idiots die in disbelief.'

'Great news, friends! The female lead, Cynthia, will appear soon! She's the only one who can free Ivan from his dark thoughts!'

The information I managed to gather from the comments left me stunned.

'What the hell? What is all this about? Villain, victims, dying… None of it makes sense!'

Before I could figure out what was happening, a woman suddenly rushed out from behind the partition. She dropped to her knees and grabbed my thigh, crying, "Reese, you already have everything! Please, give my man back to me! Being a homewrecker won't end well for you."

She finally raised her head.

I was shocked to realize it was Cynthia Adams. She was Dylan's girlfriend and a new employee of the company through his connections.

The random accusations took me aback. After the initial surprise, a sneer escaped me, and I yelled at her. "What's wrong with you, Cynthia? I only ran into Dylan in the office. How dare you accuse me of stealing your boyfriend and branding me as a homewrecker? Are you insane?"

An embarrassed Dylan tried to smooth things over. "Get up, Cynthia! Reese will never do that! Everyone's watching now, so let's not feed them rumors, okay? I'll explain to you later."

He had always been patient with her.

Therefore, even though she put him on the spot, he still comforted her, but none of us expected her next words to stun us both.

    The car continued to speed down the highway.Unfortunately, our so-called elopement ended in a village, where the police had already received the tip-off and set up a dragnet.We abandoned the car and traveled on foot.

Then, he tied them up and locked them in the bedroom.I found the first-aid kit and bandaged him with tears streaming down my face. It had to hurt, but he refused to make a sound.

  • His Brides Never Survive   Chapter 9 Elopement

    After hanging up, I asked the cab driver to turn around.Before long, I arrived at the familiar neighborhood.I realized it had become a serious issue when Ivan didn't go to see Sophia.What happened in the study had only been the appetizer. Now, I was finally facing the main course.Ivan had never left. From the very beginning, he had been hiding in the dark, watching me save Cynthia and get into a car to run away.Perhaps he had been tailing me on my way to the airport. Perhaps he had readied his weapon and was waiting for the opportunity to stab me.Even if I found shelter at the police station, he would take it out on my family and friends.Therefore, I had no other choice.…When I returned home, I found Ivan standing in the living room.I lifted the instant noodles in my hand and smiled at him. "You're back already? Let's go. We can eat on the road."He stared at me in silence before approaching me, towering over me.I could feel tension in the air.Just when I tho

    Ivan stiffened. He probably had not expected that.The distinctive smell of blood hit my nostrils. I could even hear the sound of liquid dripping on the floor.Judging from the noise it made, it definitely was not water."Really?" His voice was cold. It was obvious that if he sensed even the slightest lie, he would kill me without hesitation.I hugged him tighter and protested as though I was jealous. "I hate the thought of another woman being close to you. You belong to me alone."He chuckled at my possessiveness.Mentioning another woman proved that I knew what he was doing inside the room.However, instead of running away from him, I focused on the fact that another woman had stolen his attention.It proved that we were on the same wavelength.It excited him. He hugged me tightly and murmured under his breath, "I knew it. I was right. Reese, you're the one for me… My most precious…"We shifted positions, and he turned on the light.When my eyes finally adjusted to the lig

  • His Brides Never Survive   Chapter 7 Improvised Plan

    I had no idea what Ivan was doing inside the study. All I heard was the noise of the chair being dragged across the floor.Meanwhile, the comments were heated."Wait. I don't get it. Why did Ivan knock Cynthia out and put her in the suitcase? Should he be doing that?""Maybe he feels bad that the outsiders wronged her? Maybe it's his special way of displaying affection? After all, he had an unfortunate childhood. Put yourself in his shoes and stop criticizing him!""And you stop lying to yourself! Care to explain why he's in the study, pouring water on her face, and pulling her hair? Wait a minute! Is it a knife I saw on the table? What does he plan to do?""Are you idiots? If you can't tolerate this, you can leave now. I really feel sorry for Ivan. He probably doesn't mean to use violence on her or kill his wives. It's all because the rotten world broke him! Just you wait. "He'll imprison her and hurt her now, but later, he'll regret it and do everything to win her back. That's

  • His Brides Never Survive   Chapter 6 She's Not Special

    The man's question echoed off the walls, making my ears ring.The fear strangled me like a pair of hands. I could not speak, let alone make an excuse.Ivan was home.He acted faster than I anticipated. It seemed that the ruckus at the office failed to hold him back. Now, he had returned home before I could flee.He took a step forward. Then another.I involuntarily scrambled backward.The difference in our height had always made him seem imposing. Now that I knew he was a criminal, it only made him more terrifying.He slammed the door shut.I froze where I stood and met his eyes.Only half a day had passed, yet the man I once loved had become completely unrecognizable to me.On the outside, he was still a good-looking man. But now, all I saw was a man with a murderous gleam in his eyes.After some time, he chuckled at the sight of my luggage and continued in an affectionate tone. "Darling, you should've told me if you're heading out. But I need to talk to you about something

  • His Brides Never Survive   Chapter 5 Caught Red-Handed

    My unexpected answer stunned the crowd.They didn't side with Cynthia for justice or out of kindness.They simply wanted a show.They wanted to provoke me, so I would lunge at Cynthia to fight her for Ivan.And I had no intention of giving them what they wanted.When they realized I was not getting angry the way they expected—and that the useless Cynthia had actually taken the so-called perfect Ivan from me—their attitudes changed instantly."Come to think of it, she can't just claim that Ivan belongs with her randomly. If I remember correctly, Reese and Ivan were single when they met each other.""Exactly. Cynthia is his ex for a reason, yet she's still harassing him. Doing this the day before someone's wedding? She's obviously just looking for attention.""Poor Dylan. She used him to get closer to Ivan. It's no different from cheating on him. He wasted his time on a bitch!"Cynthia paled at their words. However, she ignored Dylan's questions and stared at me, unwavering. S
