The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Forty-Four
Chapter Forty-FourUpon hearing Bella's words, Pearl became so enraged that she trembled, wish could give Bella a painful slap."What does she think she is to confront me like that? Going on long trips, huh? Ha! It's only because Max pities her that he suggested such a thing, yet she acts like it's a source of happiness to confront me. We'll see about that." Pearl resolved to ensure that Bella couldn't have a proper trip with her husband because Max would definitely come to Pearl's place then.Like before, on their third wedding anniversary, Max didn't care and came to his wife. So after this project is successful and completed, Max will be by her side. Pearl was secretly pleased, she was sure she understood Max more than Bella.With these thoughts, Pearl's mood improved. She smoothed her hair and reapplied some powder and lipstick in the restroom. Looking at herself in the mirror, Pearl smiled contentedly, convinced that she surpassed Bella in many ways. She was more beautiful, pure,
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Forty-Five
Chapter Forty-FiveThis was the first time Bella found herself in such a situation, unsure of who sent these things to her. Flowers and a gift box? Without much thought, Bella understood the significance of the gift, which only added to her confusion. "It's really perplexing."Bella picked up the card and opened it, feeling normal until she read its contents, which immediately made her uncomfortable and flushed with anger."Is he really crazy?" Bella muttered angrily, but she dared not speak loudly.Looking at the bouquet in her hand, Bella wanted to throw it away, but hesitated, knowing that discarding such a large bouquet would surely attract attention. After some thought, Bella went to the security office."Hello, it seems someone sent this to me by mistake. I'm not sure who sent it, so you can keep it. If nobody claims it, just dispose of it for me," Bella said with a smile, not showing any hint that could confuse the security guard who took it. With that, Bella quickly stashed th
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Forty-Six
Chapter Forty-SixAs soon as Bella picked up the phone before she could even speak, the voice on the other end spoke first. [Have you received my apology gift? Why haven't you replied to my messages? Are you still angry with me?]"I've already said it, I'm not angry. What our relationship is, don't you understand?" Bella sighed, her mood unsettled, but her mind was clear. She is very aware of the relationship between herself and Levi. The thing that must not be violated is having feelings for the other person. Levi's actions right now are like the two are lovers, but Bella knows clearly that he is just doing so on a whim.Arbitrary people like Levi can easily do actions that make others misunderstand, especially women. It's not natural that Levi is so loved and admired by most women, not only because of his handsome appearance but because of his misleading actions that make others think he is a kind and warm person. Bella only recently realized this, not through a specific moment, bu
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Forty-Seven
Chapter Forty-Seven"It's like you're talking about yourself. Indeed, Max betrayed you and your marriage, but aren't you also having an affair?" Levi spoke bluntly, disliking Bella's apparent inclination to forgive Max.Bella remained unruffled by Levi's frank revelations. Instead, she looked at him and chuckled, "Exactly, I acknowledge my actions were despicable and repulsive. Despite knowing that Max was unfaithful first, I too engaged in infidelity while our marriage was still ongoing."Levi smirked, "So, you feel guilty and remorseful towards your husband? I always knew you were kind, but I didn't expect this level of kindness. It's quite ironic.""No, I don't feel guilty or remorseful towards him; I'm merely curious," Bella clarified.Frowning slightly, Levi found Bella's speech ambiguous and often veiled, making it hard for him to discern her true intentions. However, it also added to her mysterious allure, leaving him curious about her thoughts. "Infidelity is infidelity, what
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Forty-Eight
Chapter Forty-EightBella's vision began unclear and somewhat hazy, with a lingering bitter taste of alcohol in her mouth. She wanted more to drink, but Levi stopped her, supporting her waist as her body leaned entirely on him."Didn't expect to see you like this. I wonder if I should thank Max for missing out on such a woman," Levi signaled a nearby waiter and then carried a drunk Bella upstairs of the bar.Bella was still inebriated, not feeling sleepy, so when Levi lifted her, she struggled uncomfortably, saying, "I still want to drink more, let me go.""There's plenty in the room. Drink as much as you want," Levi chuckled, wondering if Bella's self-restraint stemmed from knowing her own tendencies when drunk. Yet, he found her drunken antics endearing, except for the fact that she wasn't rambling as usual when intoxicated but surprisingly coherent.Bella pushed Levi away forcefully, standing upright, her flushed face the only indicator of her intoxication.“Let me help you.” Levi
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Forty-Nine
Chapter Forty-NineMax noticed Pearl's silence and sighed, "If you understand, don't overthink it. We're in a situation where you need to be clear-headed. Don't let selfishness make everything messy. Alright, I have to go home now. Good night!"Pearl reached out as if to hold onto Max, but then withdrew her hand, feeling confused and uneasy. She turned back to the bed and put on her nightgown lying on the floor. Max had left, and she couldn't muster the mood to sleep anymore, pacing around the bedroom and incessantly biting her nails. Nail-biting seemed to be Pearl's habit whenever she felt stressed and anxious."Damn it! What is Bella up to? Why would Max want to go back to her? It's infuriating!" Pearl vented her anger aloud.But she didn't know what to blame Bella for because Pearl knew very well the nature of her relationship with Max - one that couldn't be public. If Max didn't quickly acquire the company and divorce Bella, then a third party like Pearl could only continue this r
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Fifty
Chapter FiftyBella pale upon hearing Levi speak like that. She was indeed very distressed and bitter to be betrayed by two people she trusted at the same time, but she never thought of taking their lives. She just wanted them to know the pain she had to endure and make them pay for what they did to her."If you're crazy, be crazy alone, don't drag me into it," Bella retorted coldly.Levi seemed somewhat disappointed. "Ha-... I thought you'd do something more exciting. Rest assured, even if you commit murder, I can turn you from a criminal into a victim. Besides, we're in the same boat, as you've reminded us many times. We have a mutually beneficial relationship, so there's no need for you to hesitate in making demands of me."After hearing him speak, Bella's complexion grew even paler, but she didn't show her confusion outwardly, only staring at his smiling face intently. She didn't know what this man was thinking to casually mention "murder" like that.Bella knew he liked to joke, j
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Fifty-One
Chapter Fifty-OneThe office door slammed shut, and Max infuriated, kicked the nearby chair hard before turning to look at Bella."Spit it out, where were you last night?" He interrogated his wife fiercely in the office.But faced with her husband's attitude, Bella not only didn't feel embarrassed or anxious but instead remained composed as if Max's anger had nothing to do with her. Sitting down calmly, her indifferent demeanor only fueled Max's anger further."Why are you so angry? Didn't I tell you last night that I met an old friend?" Bella spoke gently.However, her response didn't calm Max's anger; he didn't believe what Bella said."I know you're lying, Bella."Bella didn't think Max would catch her lying, so she maintained her attitude and calmly asked, "You think I'm lying? Why would you think that?""Besides Pearl, who else do you have as a friend? It's always been just Pearl as your close friend, who else could tolerate your personality besides her? Lying has its limits, Bel
