LOGINChapter One Hundred Forty-ThreeAfter many days of constantly being mocked and taunted by Bella about how, despite carrying the title of Levi’s wife, she was nothing more than his sexual plaything in reality, Levi initially paid no attention and did not get angry. However, the relentless frequency of her remarks gradually wore down his patience.Just as he had barely opened his mouth to call her name,“Bella-!”“Are you getting angry at me?” Bella interrupted. “That’s right, I’m just your toy. So whenever you’re upset, I’m supposed to accept it.”She spoke while sniffling softly, looking pitiful and heartbroken.Bella acted as though the entire world had wronged her.Levi let out a heavy breath and narrowed his eyes as he assessed his young wife. He understood her far too well, yet he still allowed her to continue playing the victim.“There’s a charity gala tonight, so-”“Looks like you finally understand.” Bella immediately sprang to her feet. “Tonight, huh? Then what are you still s
Chapter One Hundred and Forty-TwoBella's entire body trembled and turned cold. Her mind stalled, then began replaying the past like a film reel. She laughed, but her smile looked even worse than crying.“Dad... are you saying all this just to scare me because you're still angry that I went to find Levi on my own and married him without your approval?”“Scare you? Bella, have I ever tried to scare you? I'm not telling you these things to frighten you, but so that you understand... this time, I truly don't have enough strength... enough ability to protect you anymore.”William spoke with a choked voice. From the very beginning, he had known everything would come to this point.Levi... that man was far too skilled. To lure Bella in, he had been patient, hiding in the shadows, concealing himself, willing to stand behind her and give her all the glory she desired. On the surface, Levi was a devoted man deeply in love with Bella, giving her everything she wanted. But in reality, he had pla
Chapter One Hundred and Forty-OneThe friendlier Levi acted, the more unpleasant he looked in William’s eyes. Before Bella got involved with Levi, William and Levi had been fairly compatible business partners. Back then, William greatly admired Levi, a young man who possessed the mind of a wise old veteran. In the business world, there were many geniuses, but Levi was a genius even in the eyes of those geniuses.If Levi had only shown that side of himself, William would never have hated him. But after several collaborations, a few encounters at extravagant parties, along with information gathered by his subordinates, Levi became nothing more than a devil wearing human skin in William’s eyes.At first, William thought he might have been overthinking Levi. After all, it was fairly normal for young people to have strange sides to them, even if Levi’s behavior was somewhat unusual compared to William’s generation. But after several incidents long ago, he no longer believed he had been exa
Chapter One Hundred Forty“Another new trick?” Levi asked bluntly.Bella hadn’t expected Levi to ask so directly. Even though she had prepared herself mentally, her heart still pounded in panic. She adjusted her breathing, lowered her head, and pretended to look discouraged and indifferent.She gave a faint bitter smile and said, “Think whatever you want. Anyway, nothing I said was wrong. That’s the reality… Ha…”Levi continued staring at Bella with a scrutinizing gaze. He said nothing, but it was obvious he had other calculations in mind. The atmosphere between them became strangely silent. Bella understood clearly that this conversation was not simply a wife complaining to her husband, it was a battle of minds.Bella knew she could never win against Levi, no matter the situation. But she also knew this man was obsessed with her; more than love, it was a powerful obsession and possessiveness. Instead of resisting strongly or showing him her longing for freedom, Bella chose to rely on
Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-NineIt wasn’t that Bella had never seriously thought about their married life. Aside from signing those documents that day and living under the same roof with Levi, everything before and after their marriage was unlike that of ordinary couples. There was no luxurious and grand wedding like she had imagined, no romantic proposal, no rings, no jewelry, no expensive outfits, no honeymoon.Neither she nor he went out much; they spent most of their time making love. Every corner of this villa carried traces of their intimacy.As a woman, even though this marriage was somewhat… unusual, Bella could not help but care about it. At first, she had felt it was something fresh and exciting, but later both her mind and body seemed to be slowly crushed bit by bit, until she could hardly breathe.Sometimes Bella felt as if this was not a marriage at all, but merely the same relationship of mutual benefit they had before. She stayed by his side as the woman who satisfi
Chapter One Hundred Thirty-EightBeing tough didn’t work, and being gentle didn’t work either. Every single moment, Bella was thinking of ways to contact her father or at least get some news about the company.After trying every soft and hard approach without success, Bella even thought of asking Mrs. Wong for help, and she did try… but not only did the old woman refuse to help, she gave a strange, eerie smile and said,“You remind me of the previous madam. This feeling… it’s so familiar, as if I’ve gone back thirty years.”Bella had always felt that this housekeeper was not normal, so she neither understood nor cared about what she said. What mattered to her was hearing news from the outside, though she hadn’t expected much from the woman anyway.“These two lunatics…” Bella muttered softly.It had been a month since she signed those marriage terms. A whole month without hearing or seeing any news from the outside no phone, no computer, no television. Anything that could connect her t

Chapter One Hundred and FifteenAs soon as Mr. James finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room grew noticeably tense. Bella furrowed her brows tightly—everything was changing too fast, and she still didn’t understand what was truly happening. Why was her father so anxious and fearful?Clenching
Chapter One Hundred and FourteenBella looked at the steaming hot dishes on the table, feeling utterly exhausted and conflicted. She knew that the boss of the man who had delivered the food was definitely Levi, but what she really wanted to question was why he kept showing concern for her.Bella mu
Chapter One Hundred and Thirteen“Hmmm… haaa… ugh… ugh… please… I… can’t take it anymore… hic… ugh… aahh…” Bella kept letting out intermittent moans, although the pleasure was coming in waves, this level of madness was really too much for her.The room was filled with sounds that made the listener
