This is part 2 of “The Temptation of Adultery” The question is whether there is loyalty in love or not. The answer is, of course, yes, but it has never been considered obligatory. If loyalty were mandatory, “adultery” would not exist. Unfortunately, loyalty not only exists but is also a temptation so sweet that it's difficult to break free from. However, the price for loyalty is never cheap, and it never has been. Bella's husband and her close friend are paying the price for the karma they have created—the price they have to pay for betrayal, infidelity, and exploiting others is steep. But Bella is no exception either; the price she must pay may be far higher than that of the two who betrayed her. The man named Levi Karter, with whom Bella has been having an affair, is not an ordinary person. It wasn’t until everything was over that Bella realized she had made a deal with a demon for the sake of revenge. But no matter how much Bella struggled and tried to escape, she couldn't get away from him because… being bound and possessed by Levi was the price Bella had to pay after making a deal with him.

View MoreChapter One Hundred and TwoThe news of Pearl being arrested by the police on charges of extortion quickly reached Max. Max had no time to rest, as he frantically tried to handle and destroy incriminating documents. However, documents accumulated over many years were not so easy to dispose of.As Max struggled to deal with the mess, he continuously cursed Pearl, calling her a foolish woman. "If she wants to die, she should do it on her own! What a stupid woman."Now, Max finds himself in a situation where he doesn't know what to do. He couldn't understand how ignorant Pearl had been in resorting to blackmailing Bella and then getting arrested by the police. Wouldn't it have been better if she had just disappeared from here?Although Pearl wasn't a famous or influential figure, those who had business dealings with Max were aware of the ambiguous relationship between the two. These partners also knew of Max's plan to take over the company; in fact, they had been secretly supporting him.
Chapter One Hundred and OneIf that night the image of the two women was drastically different, then now, it’s the same, only reversed. Bella, as a patient, was dressed in hospital clothes, her face pale and weak, while Pearl radiated beauty and nobility, pure and elegant.Since Pearl was standing with her back to Bella, Bella couldn’t see her expression. Aside from the sound of the wind, no one spoke, making the atmosphere between them strangely tense.Finally, Bella broke the silence. “So? You asked me to meet you up here on the rooftop, but you’re not saying anything?”Pearl stood by the rooftop railing, turning around to face Bella. She looked at Bella with a sneer.“Why are you standing so far away? Are you afraid I’ll do something to you? We’re best friends, aren’t we? Why are we so distant now?”Bella didn’t expect Pearl to say such words. If Pearl really considered them best friends, she would never have had an affair with Max and schemed to hurt her.“Of course, I’m afraid. I
Chapter One HundredLevi did not respond but merely stared silently at Bella. He showed no expression, leaving Bella slightly confused, as she had expected him to mock or tease her."Alright, that guy thinks I've forgiven him because I still love him too much. Ridiculous. To think that after all this, that jerk still believes that makes me sick," Bella sighed, glancing at Levi.Levi squinted at her but remained silent. Just his gaze made Bella uncomfortable and confused. She sighed again and added, "Please don’t look at me like that. I’m not crazy enough to forgive that jerk, but there’s something I need to finish. I haven’t ended this yet.""So, when will this end?" Levi's tone hinted at impatience, not quite angry, but clearly, he didn’t want to continue this game with Bella anymore.Bella was somewhat perplexed by Levi's attitude. After all, their relationship had always been transactional. She had never mentioned a deadline, nor had he. So why was he irritated when she said she di
Chapter Ninety-NineAfter Levi mentioned that her unfaithful husband had run off with his lover, Bella truly believed it, as it was a likely scenario. However, she couldn't allow them to cause such havoc and then escape so easily.What Bella didn't expect was that Max would return after two days of her hospitalization. He wanted to see her but was stopped by two bodyguards outside. Since Bella had been admitted, Levi had arranged for numerous bodyguards to be with her, with two stationed right at the door and others guarding the hallway.Hearing Max's voice, Bella merely smirked and said softly, "Let him in.""I'm afraid not, ma'am. Sir has given strict orders—" one of the bodyguards sternly replied.Bella waved her hand and said softly, "Then you stay here with me." After all, she wasn't sure what Max intended by coming here or if he would try to harm her. Although he wasn't directly responsible for her hospitalization, his hesitation had nearly cost her life.As soon as Max saw Bell
Chapter Ninety-EightMax stood outside the door as if standing in a furnace; he wanted to rush in, but Pearl had locked it from the inside, leaving him with no choice but to wait outside."...DIE!..."Max immediately recognized Pearl's scream. Horrified, he could no longer calmly wait and kicked the door forcefully. With the strength of a grown man, it only took three kicks to break down the locked door."Bella! Bella! Where are you?" Max frantically ran inside. He heard noises from the living room and rushed in.Before him was a horrifying and disgusting scene. Max quickly scanned the room and found Bella curled up on the floor, clutching her stomach and trembling uncontrollably. Pearl was holding a large shard of glass, which was smeared with some red liquid.Just by looking, Max knew what was happening. He staggered over to Bella."Bella? Bella? What's wrong? Bella, wake up. Blood?" Max held Bella in his arms, and when he touched her stomach, he felt a liquid flowing out. As soon a
Chapter Ninety-SevenFearing that his wife might find out about his relationship with Pearl, Max quickly turned to explain to Bella."Bella, don't misunderstand. She seems to be drunk. I can smell the alcohol on her."Pearl heard Max's words and realized he hadn't come here alone, nor had he come to see her. At that moment, Pearl no longer wanted to hide anything. She had been in the shadows for too long and didn’t want to continue like this.But before Pearl could speak, Bella smiled gently and said, "It's okay. It seems your situation is getting worse, Pearl. So bad that you even hugging mistook my man."The faces of both Pearl and Max turned pale, especially Max, who was furious with Pearl for putting him in such an awkward situation.Pearl looked at Max, wanting him to say something, her eyes asking why Bella was here. But Pearl didn't wait for Max's response; she couldn’t hold back any longer."What are you doing here? Who allowed you to come to my house?" Pearl's eyes were fille
Chapter Ninety-SixSince the night Bella publicly revealed her pregnancy, Max had seemingly undergone a complete transformation. He no longer used the excuse of being busy with work to leave the house every evening as he used to.If Bella hadn’t known the true nature of her despicable and deceitful husband, she might have actually believed he cared for her. His appearance as a caring and model husband left Bella astonished.Bella suspected that something must have happened between Max and Pearl after that dinner, or else a woman like Pearl would never let Max off so easily."You haven't been busy with work every night like you used to lately. Things at your company must be going well?" Bella said casually, though she was probing into the relationship between Max and Pearl.Max heard her but didn't grasp her meaning, thinking only that his wife was showing concern for him. "That's right, I haven't been as busy lately. It's perfect timing, with you being pregnant, so I can stay home to
Chapter Ninety-FiveHearing what Max said, Bella only gave a slight smile, but deep down, she felt an intense disdain for this man. She couldn't understand why she had once been so deeply in love with him, to the point where she believed that if she didn't marry him, she wouldn't want to marry anyone else.However, Bella still felt fortunate that she had discovered how disgusting this man truly was. More importantly, she and Max didn’t have any children together, which was one of the reasons why she didn't feel guilty for betraying her husband.When they arrived home, Max, still slightly intoxicated and in a good mood from two pieces of good news that evening, was feeling extremely relaxed. From behind, he watched Bella, admiring her beautiful figure. Even just looking at her back was enough to make others feel captivated. Max quickly stepped forward and embraced her from behind, greedily inhaling the sweet and seductive fragrance of his wife."Bella, you smell so good..." Max whisper
Chapter Ninety-FourLevi's words once again left Bella stunned. She cleared her throat and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you actually think I'm pregnant?"Levi remained silent, which surprised Bella. It wasn’t that he didn’t know her plan, yet he was asking such questions now. Of course, she wasn't pregnant, and she hadn't even gone for a full medical check-up. The pregnancy report was fake.This was all just an act to make those two scumbags turn on each other. Bella had assumed Levi, like her, understood this clearly.Bella lightly shook her head in denial, "Stop joking. Do you really think I could be pregnant? Who do you think the father would be? You or my husband?"Despite her words, if she were truly pregnant, the child in her womb could only belong to the man sitting in front of her, because she had never slept with her husband, so it was impossible for her to be pregnant with Max’s child.Levi didn’t say anything. He silently tapped his fingers on the dining t
