The Price of Love Is Death のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

All because I saved George Larson from an asthma attack when we were kids, I became his obsession.On the day of my parents’ funeral, I was kidnapped right from the service. When I woke up, I found myself in bed at the Larsons’ residence, with a marriage certificate lying on the nightstand.George stood by the bed, his eyes filled with affection as he said, “Luna, welcome home.”I did not want to marry George, for I did not love him. However, every time I tried to run away, George would show up out of nowhere and drag me back. No matter how hard I tried, I could not shake him.After seven years of being entangled in that toxic mess, George finally found someone else. Her name was Annie Atkins, and she had a beauty mark under her left eye, just like mine. Not only that, but her eyebrows, eyes, and figure were also eerily similar to mine. Even our fashion sense was almost identical.Annie’s social media was filled with pictures of her and George, looking every bit like the perfect c

Annie froze for a moment, then suddenly burst into a hysterical scream.Oh, so her beauty mark was fake after all. It seemed like she knew she was just an impostor too.The two girls standing behind her seemed uneasy. “Annie, maybe you should ask who she is before doing anything. You don’t want to mess with the wrong family and get in trouble with your dad again.”Annie sneered. “George is throwing a birthday party at the company today. Anyone important is at the event hosted by the Larson Group. What kind of heiress would be sneaking around here, trying to break into my house?“Only a rat from the gutter would dream of pretending to be someone else and using dirty tricks to climb the social ladder. You want to be Mrs. Larson? Dream on.”Annie spoke each word slowly and deliberately, all while raising the heel of her shoe high in the air.The next moment, the sharp heel stabbed straight into my eye. A wave of excruciating pain shot through my head, followed by a rush of warm liqu

Annie sauntered over to George, whining for his attention. However, as she passed by me, she gave me another hard stomp on the face. The sound of her high heel grinding into my flesh filled my ears, but I could not feel the pain anymore. After being tortured repeatedly, my head slipped out of the plastic bag, and my body instinctively gasped for air.George, who had turned away, heard the sound and came back toward me, irritated. He leaned down close to my ear and said maliciously, "Trying so hard to get my attention, huh? You’re nothing but a filthy rat clinging to life. You’re not even good enough to imitate her."My face was full of holes and my eyes were constantly bleeding, making it impossible to recognize me. Hence, George did not realize who I was.Looking even more furious now, he grabbed a stick from the ground and jabbed it into my already ruined eye."Just die already."Yes, that was exactly what I was trying to do.I could not help but laugh and spit out the last

I thought, if George had not come into my life, I might have married that guy, had kids, and taken over the Sachs’ business together with him.However, George shattered that possibility—literally. He broke three of the guy’s ribs and forced him to have his legs amputated, leaving him disabled for life.That day, George was covered in blood, standing between me and the boy to stop me from even glancing in his direction.“Luna, you belong to me. You can only ever be mine. Anyone or anything that stands in our way, I will eliminate for you, no matter the cost.”After that, I shut myself off from the world. I did not dare interact with any other guy. I knew George was a madman, and I was terrified he would actually follow through on his threats, hurting innocent people just to keep me in line.Then, he imprisoned me for seven years and burned the Sachs’ entire business to the ground.“Luna, the Sachs are gone now. All you have is me! You’ll never escape from me again!”George forgot

George was done dealing with Annie, who was hanging on by a thread. Instead, he turned his focus to finding a way out.He tried to take his own life several times, but his men and Annie always pulled him back from the edge. He had lost it.He dropped to his knees in front of his men, begging, “Please, just let me die! Luna is waiting for me!”Annie, with a blank expression, dragged him toward the treatment room while continuing to prepare his medicine for him.Seeing George in such a pitiful state made me laugh. I remembered when I had begged George for mercy years ago, feeling utterly humiliated.I knelt by his bed, clothes disheveled, and pleaded, “George, please, just let me go! I’ll do anything you want. Just let me go and divorce me.” George, however, looked at me with a deep gaze, a soft smile playing on his lips.“Luna, don’t rush. I know you don’t truly love me right now. I won’t hurt you. I’ll wait until you fall in love with me. We have a lifetime; we can take our tim
