Game of Feelings

They must not be together. I shall leave now.

“I’ll wait for the latest news from you. If you manage to obtain David’s secret files, I promise you’ll live comfortably with me.”

Bella at that moment was dizzy. Yet suddenly David invited her to dinner. They immediately went to a small restaurant, the atmosphere dim, warm, yet with a tension that was hard to ignore. Bella sat on the chair, her eyes still red from having cried earlier. Her hand clutched her bag tightly. She felt every second near David was like a stab, for she knew how painful it was to be betrayed by the man she loved and to be on the verge of divorce.

David sat opposite her and began to speak.

“Bella… I want to talk to you. I don’t want you to feel hurt. I want to be honest about everything.”

Bella fixed him with a sharp gaze.

“Honest? Do you think those words can redeem the shattered nights, the pain you caused? You… you slept with Olive,

    Olivia’s Masterpiece “Come on, don’t be nervous. You can do this,” said Oscar. “I can, Oscar. This is my very first stage at the Asian Fashion Week.” The lights began to dim. Orchestral music flowed, soft yet full of energy. The black curtain drew open. The first model stepped out, wearing a gown designed by Olivia. It was simple yet graceful, with clean lines and a calming shade of navy blue. The audience whispered in awe. Then the second model appeared, wearing a gown with golden embroidery, as though old wounds had been healed. A small cheer rose from the crowd. One by one, the gowns appeared. Each one told a story. There was a dress with asymmetric cuts, symbolising the beauty in imperfection. A blazing red gown—symbol of courage. A white gown with shimmering crystals—symbol of new hope. And at l

    The Rise After the Slander "Watch out behind you!" Olivia shouted at Oscar. The man aimed his gun at Oscar, but just as Oscar turned, a gunshot rang out from another direction. "Ah… Oscar, are you all right?" Olivia ran towards him. "Fortunately, my men arrived just in time," Oscar replied. Before the man could shoot, one of Oscar’s men had already fired, killing him instantly. "Quickly, save Clara," Olivia ordered his men. Clara was freed at once, but her body reeked of fuel. "Thank you for rescuing me. I promise, from now on, I won’t run away. I’ll help you—but please protect me and my family, for they will surely come after me," Clara said. She sat down weakly, her legs trembling, her face pale with terror. She had thought that day would be her end—that it was the last time she would ever see the world. "You already knew the danger, yet you chose to flee. You sh

    The Key Witness Abducted“Damn it… they must not find that woman. I must report to the Boss.” The mysterious man hurried away at once to report on what Olivia and Oscar were about to do.Olivia and Oscar went to the address where Clara lived. The search was not easy, but they managed to reach Clara’s place rather quickly.Clara had long since stopped working at the hospital where Olivia had given birth. Yet, thanks to Oscar’s network, they eventually tracked her down in a small town on the outskirts.“Come on, quickly—let’s meet that woman.” They immediately stopped at a modest house on the edge of town.At that moment, they caught sight of Clara attempting to flee.“Catch that woman at once,” Oscar ordered his two bodyguards.The bodyguards chased after Clara. In the end, they managed to capture her.“Don’t kill me! Let me go! I was only following orders. Why have you been after me for five years?” Clara scream

    The Slanderer ‘Why on earth would you care about that woman? Ah… David, only I can ever have you.’ Bella froze, her face draining of colour. For the first time, she saw love in David’s eyes—but it was for Olivia. All this time she had been so certain David despised Olivia. Could it be that hatred had somehow turned into love? That same night, Olivia stood before the tall mirror in her apartment. She stared at her reflection: a beautiful face that no longer bore the wounds of the past, yet her eyes still held the shadows of what had once been. “This is only the beginning,” she whispered to herself. “The war is already at the doorstep, and Ludwig will be my ally. It has begun. I won’t stop until they all feel the pain I once endured.” Now she sat in a soft black chair, her eyes swollen from tears shed over the agony of betrayal and humiliation David had caused her in the past. Osca

    The Proposal for Cooperation “What am I, then? You said you loved me, yet you took Bella to such an important company meeting? Isn’t that the same as saying your relationship with her remains harmonious? Like a family who still loves each other?” Olivia’s eyes were sharp with anger, her heart still aching. “I only need her for this project because she is also responsible for it. She and I are nothing but a fake couple. Please, believe me.” David reached for Olivia’s hand. Olivia pulled her hand away roughly. “I no longer need your excuses. After you divorce Bella, then divorce me as well. Consider us already divorced, even before I supposedly died. After that, I will reveal to everyone that I am alive, not dead.” She turned her back, leaving David frozen in place. Bella, who had been hiding at the corner of the corridor, witnessed everything. Her face flushed with rage. “Olivia… wait… don’t go!

    The First Psychological War“I only want you with me again. I do not want to be with Bella.”“Do you remember that day when you beat me until I was black and blue? Do you remember that for the sake of Bella, your beloved secretary, you threw me out on that rainy day? If Oscar had not saved me, then you would never have met the woman I am now,” Olivia replied.At that moment David knelt before Olivia. He realised he had been at fault all this time.“Forgive me! I beg your forgiveness for hurting you. I was deceived by Bella’s apparent kindness all along.”“But you and Bella have not announced your divorce to the public. Do you still wish to lie to me? David, I am not the same Olivia as before, I am no longer foolish. You speak of love? Yet you still hold on to Bella.”“I cannot announce my divorce to the media because I am bound by a contract with her. I married her because she is the elder sister of my lover and she saved me
