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

    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

  • The Temptation of Adultery 2   Chapter 47

    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 Thirty-SevenBella knew very well that the fragile, pitiful appearance she was showing now would surely soften Levi’s heart and make him agree to her request. After all, he loved her so much, there was no way he could resist this kind of coquettish pleading from her.Bella sniffled while acting spoiled, her voice sweet yet mixed with grievance and sadness. Inwardly, she couldn’t stop admiring herself. Even she felt moved by her own tone, let alone the man standing in front of her.But contrary to Bella’s expectations, although Levi did not push her away, there was not the slightest hint of a smile on his face. He silently looked at her for a long time, as if observing the behavior of an experimental subject.Under that pair of deep, pitch-black eyes, Bella felt as though he were trying to pierce into the deepest part of her heart. Feeling uneasy and embarrassed, she leaned against him and lowered her gaze to avoid Levi’s knife-like stare.“Please… I’m really very w

    Chapter One Hundred Thirty-Six“Have a good day, Mr. William.”After seeing the bank director out, Mr. William gazed into the void with dark, helpless eyes. The moment the bank director personally came to his house, he had already known what had happened. But standing between his career, the many employees depending on him, and his only daughter, he could choose only one. Or rather, he had been pushed into a fait accompli by his daughter and that dangerous man, he was allowed to choose only one.Henry also understood what was going on, but in this situation, what could he possibly do? He sat across from his father, yet neither of them spoke. The gloomy, heavy atmosphere was filled with nothing but sighs.“Henry, do you think this is really okay?” Mr. William kept his head lowered; at this moment, he did not even have the strength to lift his teacup. He truly wanted an answer different from what was unfolding before them.Henry knew what his father was thinking. But with his own abilit

    Chapter One Hundred Thirty-FiveRight after Bella finished speaking, the entire room fell into silence. The gloom in the air made her already tense mood grow even heavier. When Levi didn’t respond, she looked up at him in confusion only to meet his unblinking stare.The man’s eyes were dark and unfathomable, his face utterly devoid of emotion. There was no surprise, no amusement, no provocation. He was like a meticulously sculpted statue, carved without a trace of feeling.Bella felt the fine hairs on her body stand on end. She had never seen Levi in such a strange state before. With no emotion reflected on his face, she had no way of guessing what he was thinking.“W-What?” Bella asked hesitantly, avoiding his eerie and abnormal gaze.Only then did Levi’s eyes shift. A faint smile curved on his lips, as if he were very satisfied with Bella’s blunt answer. He stood up, walked to his desk, retrieved a stack of documents, and handed them to her. Though she had no idea what they were, sh

    Chapter One Hundred Twenty-FiveAt the mention of the project, Bella instantly cast aside her troubles. She had to quickly seize this moment of Levi’s “generosity.”“Ha… unbelievable, just by sacrificing a little, I get continuous funding and projects…” Bella’s eyes lit up with excitement, almost t

    Chapter One Hundred Twenty-FourNo one knew exactly when the café near Bella’s company had become their usual meeting place. It was still the same table tucked away in the corner, where a refined man, exuding an aura of noble aloofness, sat waiting. Bella saw him through the glass before entering.

    Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-ThreeAt first, Bella thought that Levi invested in her project just to use the title of investor or partner to make things difficult for her, perhaps to force her to keep meeting him. But nothing happened after she left his mansion. Levi seemed indifferent to the pro
