Sold Myself to My Husband’s Rival のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

“I’ll consider it,” I said, leaning back in my chair, my fingers tapping against the wood. “But we’ll discuss my conditions later.”The president studied me for a moment before nodding. “Understood. I’ll wait for your decision.”With that, the meeting was over.I stood up and made my way toward my car. I thought of her. Bella.She seemed tense when I dropped her off.As I slid into the driver’s seat, my phone buzzed with a new notification.I expected a message from her. Instead it was from an unknown number.It was a video and beneath it, a single caption:"She’ll always be my slut."I pressed play anyway.I recognized the space almost instantly—a hotel room.And then—Bella.My Bella was with him.Julius had his hands on her waist, his body too close, his lips moving over hers like he had every fucking right.At first, she seemed to resist. Her hands came up against his chest, like she was trying to push him off. But then—She stopped.She let it happen.Just for a second. Just lo

Bella’s povI was trembling with rage as I drove to Julius’s office, the humiliation burning deep within me. Jesse didn’t even care to hear me out. He just did whatever he wanted and told me to leave. I felt so much pain. Whatever Julius wanted to achieve, he had gotten it. As I pulled into the parking lot of his office building, I felt the knot in my stomach tighten. I didn’t even know if he’d be there, but that didn’t matter. I wanted to give him a piece of my mind. It felt like the only thing I could do right now that would help me retain my sanity. I stormed into the building with one thing in mind: Julius. I didn’t need to ask for directions; I knew exactly where his office was located. I had spent so many hours there during our marriage, waiting for him to acknowledge me, to care for me in the way that I needed, that I could almost walk to it with my eyes closed. The walk down the sleek, glass-lined corridor seemed to stretch endlessly, but I didn’t care. No one stopped m

Julius pov I carried Athena to the office and laid her on the couch after Bella had stormed out. Athena sat on the couch, still holding her leg, though I noticed she wasn’t crying or complaining about pain anymore. The moment Bella was gone, she told me it didn’t hurt so much and it’ll only take a few more minutes for it to feel better. Bella’s words kept on echoing in my head.You believe her. Again.Without hearing what I have to say. Those words kept on reminding me of what had happened three years ago It shouldn’t have bothered me.And yet… it did.Why?"Athena," I said slowly.She looked up at me, eyes wide and filled with innocence."You’re a hundred percent sure that she pushed you right?" Her lips parted slightly as if she were shocked I even asked. "Julius… are you doubting me?"I didn’t answer immediately.Instead, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dialed a number."Get me the security footage from outside my office," I ordered.Athena stiffened."Julius," she said

Soon, there was a knock at the door.“Come in,” Jesse ordered without taking his eyes off me.The door opened and two of his men walked in, each carrying a tray loaded with food. I sat up slightly on the bed as they approached, blinking in surprise when I realized they weren’t just carrying one tray, but two.I raised a brow. “Wait… two trays?”Jesse leaned back in the chair beside the bed, looking far too pleased with himself.I blinked again, then laughed. “Jesse! Just how much do you think I’m going to eat?”He shrugged, utterly unapologetic. “I want you to eat as much as possible. You haven’t been taking care of yourself lately.”“Hmph,” I muttered playfully, folding my arms.I knew I was being a little dramatic, a little childish, but I didn’t care. Around him, I felt like I could let go—no need for walls or composure. I felt light. Safe. Free.After setting the trays on the table, his men gave Jesse a respectful nod and quickly left the room, shutting the door behind them with a

JULIUS POVI leaned back in my chair, swirling the dark liquor in my glass, eyes narrowed as Aiden stood before me like a soldier awaiting judgment.“So why did she call you?” I asked, my tone calm. I was really curious as to what Athena was trying to do. .Aiden hesitated, shifting uncomfortably. He looked younger than usual today. Or maybe better. “She said… she said I should always update her on your movements, sir.”I scoffed under my breath. “On my movements?”He nodded, gaze dropping to the floor.“Is that all?” I asked, leaning forward slightly.“Yes, sir,” he replied quickly. “That’s all. She offered me five thousand dollars in exchange for it. Said it would be easy money.”I watched him for a long beat, the silence stretching between us. He didn’t flinch, didn’t look away — which I noted.I set the glass down, fingers tapping against the desk. “Okay,” I said finally. “Keep playing along with her.”His brows rose, confusion flickering across his face. “Sir?”“You heard me.” I
