Bound by His Lies のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

"Eula, is this good enough for you?" Scott asked.Eula's answer was a long, lingering kiss.When Scott turned around, he gave me a cold look."Natalie, did you really think you could use the baby to manipulate me? To force me into giving in?"You and that thing inside you mean nothing to me."He once looked at me so tenderly, but now he seemed emotionless.It was as if my existence didn't even matter.Tears rolled silently down my cheeks. My heart felt like it was being torn apart.The freezing water was like knives against my skin, and I shivered violently....The ache in my stomach only grew worse.I could feel something slipping out from within. It was carried out with the warm flow of blood.I had lost my baby.The pain was a cruel reminder that I was still alive. I still had to endure this nightmare.I wanted so badly to ask Scott if our three years of marriage even mattered at all. What was the point of it all?When the icy water reached my lips, I realized none o

Although the brutal jolt nearly broke my bones, it freed me from the homeless man.I laid weakly on the ground and allowed my body to be dragged along.The friction between my skin and the pavement brought a pain so sharp it felt like my skin was being peeled away. Blood splattered in a long trail behind me.Eula leaned out the car window and laughed hysterically at the sight of my miserable state.A high-pitched ringing filled my ears. Lights and shadows danced before my eyes.More than once, I thought I was going to die right there on the street.The car door opened, and Scott stepped out. He looked thoroughly bored.He glanced at my sprawled out state with a cold, contemptuous smirk."Don't forget this. Don't ever think you can throw your weight around like you used to."You'll keep making it up to Eula until she says you've done enough."My throat clenched. I didn't have the strength to form a complete sentence. I could only gasp for air.The butler, Brian, couldn't bear

My family was already powerful to begin with, and once Ken got involved, things moved along even more quickly. Several of Chapman Corp's major partners pulled out overnight without warning. The company's stock price plummeted.While watching the financial news on television, I observed a graph showing the company's crash in stock price. I couldn't help but point my fingers down while a smirk appeared on my face.Just as I was enjoying the show, my phone screen lit up. Scott was calling. I frowned subconsciously, and my fingers recoiled from the screen as a wave of nausea surged.Without a second thought, I blocked his number.Scott stared at his phone in disbelief. The rejection hit him like a slap. His weariness was instantly replaced with rage.He stormed back to the villa and demanded to see me, only to discover that Brian had released me without his permission.Furious, Scott threatened to fire Brian.Brian, who had watched Scott grow up, only looked at him with quiet disapp

Eula looked up and met Scott's solemn gaze. A chill ran down her spine."S-Scott, what are you doing?" she stammered.She struggled hard to set herself free, but his grip was too strong.Just as she was starting to suffocate, he suddenly flung her to the floor with brute force.She hit the ground, and pain shot through her body. Tears welled up in her eyes immediately."It's me, Eula! Scott, how could you do this to me?"Scott sneered and retrieved a stack of photos from the drawer before throwing them against her face.The photos scattered across the floor. Eula's face turned pale as she stared at them.Every single photo showed her in compromising positions with various men during her time in Morinth. Some of them were outright indecent.I had hired a private investigator to dig into her past and personally had these photos delivered to Scott.After Eula sold confidential documents to Chapman Corp's biggest rival, she took the money and fled to Meldoria. She spent months li

"What do you want from me? Do you want me to go back so you can beat me again? Watch you and Eula act all intimate with each other?""Eula lied to me. I didn't want any of it. I know I was wrong. Come back, Natalie. I'll treat you right this time, just like before.""Like before? Which part? When you hung me in the living room for three days? Or when you stood by and watched as I lost our baby?"I couldn't hold it in anymore. I shouted, "Ask yourself, do you really think you did right by me or our baby?"There was silence on the other end. After a long pause, he finally muttered, "I-I must've been out of my mind back then. But I know now that I messed up."Natalie, please give me another chance. I can't live without you."I sneered. "Allll I want now is a divorce. From now on, you go your way, I'll go mine."With that, I hung up without hesitation and blocked the number.In the days that followed, Scott went completely off the rails. He called and texted me nonstop.The more h
