Chapter 4

Author: Lennox Chase
Phil cursed Tilda in his head, tightening his grip more and more. [It's all her fault. She's the reason I have to put up with this crap!]

In my last life, not long after I married him, he had started abusing me. He wouldn't let me tell anyone either.

I wanted to run, but there was no way out, so I suffered through it.

That was why I'd rather be with Mike than him.

Tilda had chosen her husband herself this time around. She couldn't blame me.

Samantha arrived, and we all stood up to greet her. She leaned on her cane, ready to tell us to sit back down, until her eyes locked on Tilda.

Tilda hadn't changed her clothes. She was still wearing that strapless dress. Noticing Samantha's stare, she quickly forced a smile, looking embarrassed.

"This is Phil's fault," she said. "He said he wanted to get me pregnant."

The second the words left Tilda's mouth, Samantha's face twisted with anger. She slammed her cane against Tilda's back.

"How shameless!" she barked. "What happens between you

    That night, Mike came back.He was drunk, and the second he walked into the room, he stumbled and dragged me down with him. We both hit the floor hard."You're drunk. I'll make you some hangover soup," I said, trying to push him off, but he wouldn't budge.Instead, his hands went to his shirt, fumbling with the buttons, and those intense, possessive eyes locked on me. That was when it hit me—he wasn't actually drunk."Mike, think about what you're doing. We're just partners. You're not allowed to touch me!"He suddenly covered my mouth and whispered in my ear, "Doesn't matter. You're my wife. I'm gonna touch you because I want to."I shoved him away with all my strength."No! I'm divorcing you. You can't touch me."The words hung in the air, and the whole room went silent.Mike's face darkened."I knew it. I knew you were gonna leave me."He let go of me, looking crushed. "You're so heartless. Did you already forget about me?""What are you talking about?" I asked, confused

    Mike explained, "I already told my mom to set up cameras all over the house. When we caught Phil slipping poison into the drinks, we swapped the poisoned wine with drugged wine instead. That's why the two of them passed out."Then his voice suddenly lowered. "But you seemed really scared that I'd die. Are you in love with me?"For some reason, when he said that, my heart skipped a beat."Of course not," I answered quickly. "I was just afraid that if you died, I wouldn't have anyone left to rely on."He grinned, his smile bright. "Is that so?"-Once Tilda and Phil were locked away in the basement, I finally let out a breath of relief.The two people I feared the most were out of the picture.By now, I'd made enough money. My next step was asking Mike for a divorce.I kept waiting for the right moment, but Mike had been so busy lately that he barely came home. All I could do was bide my time.One day, I overheard a servant saying Phil and Tilda had been begging to see me.I w

    When Phil heard what I said, he completely believed me. After all, nobody else knew about his twisted hobbies except him and Tilda.He sneered, "Just wait till I deal with that woman. Once I get rid of Mike and her, you'll be mine. I'll take care of you."With that, he walked off.Ha. Did he really think I was that stupid? There was no way I'd ever stay with him.-Right after, I went straight to Mike.Honestly, whether he lived or died wasn't supposed to matter much to me, but this time around, he had helped me a lot. He let me earn my own money and even shared his work experience with me generously.When I told him what Phil said, he looked surprised."Do you have any proof that Phil wants to hurt me?"I pulled out a recorder and played back the conversation I just had with Phil. The first part was me purposely flirting with him, and even listening to it again made me cringe."I only did that to get him to trust me," I explained quickly.Mike didn't answer, but his express

    I realized right away that what I said made Mike misunderstand, so I quickly waved my hands. "No, no, that's not what I meant. I was just explaining why there was a conflict."He suddenly asked while staring right at me, "Have you ever thought about doing that kind of thing with me?""Of course not," I answered immediately. "I told you, all I want is to rely on you and live a worry-free life.""That's it?"I nodded firmly. He didn't say another word. He just stormed out and slammed the door behind him.I had no idea what I said that upset him. And honestly, I didn't want to know.All I wanted was to carry out my own plan.-The next day, Mike didn't take me with him to the company. Instead, he told me to head to the branch office on my own.So I threw myself into running the branch. My goal was to make about two million dollars and then leave.Day after day, I chased projects, negotiated deals, and brought in big profits for the company. Samantha told me I could just take my

    Over the next few days, I followed Mike to the company and learned a lot regarding business tricks and social skills—the kind of things that really mattered.One afternoon, he surprised me by saying he'd take me out to eat. And not just anywhere—the fanciest steakhouse in town.I didn't expect to run into Tilda and Phil there.Tilda had been cutting his steak, but the moment she saw me and Mike, she dropped her knife and fork in shock. "Skye, you're here, too—" She caught herself, then quickly corrected, "Mr. Mike, Ms. Skye, you're here for dinner, too?"A second later, I heard her thoughts loud and clear.[Damn it, of all times, I had to run into her now. I can't lose face here!]"Yeah," I said with a smile. "We felt like having steak."I slipped my arm through his, and he didn't pull away.Phil scrambled to greet us politely. "Mr. Mike, Ms. Skye."Mike didn't bother replying. He just led me past them and straight to a table.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Tilda grinding

    Just as Mike was about to agree, I pushed the door open and walked in. I greeted the Ravenlandian man, then picked up the bottle of skincare serum he had developed and turned it over in my hand."I'm a woman, so I know skincare," I said. "This only has whitening ingredients. It doesn't fight wrinkles or early aging. You're an expert in this—you should know better than anyone that whitening is just a gimmick. The effects are barely noticeable. So tell me: What makes this formula worth 600 thousand?"The man froze, caught off guard.Mike leaned back in his chair, clearly entertained, and didn't stop me.That told me he was letting me speak freely. So I grew bolder. "That said, this is an imported product, and you've already built up buzz on social media. People recognize your brand and trust it. So, here's what I'll offer you." I held up two fingers."Two hundred thousand?" he asked, surprised."Jake, 200 thousand is already a very generous offer. Think it over," Mike said, eyes
