Lahat ng Kabanata ng Betrayed, Contract Marriage with Mr. Devil: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Chapter 32The night air was starting to cool down. Giselle gazed at the sky from her balcony, thinking about the two words Leon had said earlier. Yes, it was unusual for an arrogant man like Leon to say "THANK YOU."That wasn't the usual Leon. The man never said thank you, especially to a woman he called a troublemaker.Giselle bit her lip, her smile small. "Tonight, Mr. Devil isn't too annoying. Maybe I can tease him a little. And get revenge for all the times he yelled at me!"With light steps, Giselle headed toward Leon's room. She didn't knock; she'd been scolded too many times already.When the door opened, the room was dark, lit only by the faint glow of a bedside lamp. Leon was curled up under a thick blanket, sweat dampening his forehead despite his body trembling. “Mr. Leon?” Giselle approached. “What’s wrong?”Leon didn't respond. His breathing was heavy, and up close, Giselle could feel the intense heat radiating from his body. "Oh my God… you have a fever!" Giselle

Chapter 34 The bathroom door creaked softly as Giselle stepped out with wet hair and a face trying to remain calm. But before Giselle's feet touched the bedroom carpet, Leon's strong hands roughly grabbed her wrist. Giselle stumbled, nearly losing her balance.“Let go, Leon!” Giselle snapped angrily.Leon didn’t respond. In one swift motion, Leon dragged Giselle’s body against the wall and pressed her there. The coldness of the wall touched Giselle’s back, but what made her heart race even more was how close Leon was.“Leon, what the—”“Your mouth talks too much.”Without warning, Leon kissed Giselle. Not the gentle kiss from last night. This was a rough kiss, full of pressure. Giselle tried to hit his chest, but Leon held her arms tightly. A moment later, Giselle felt something slipped into her mouth—round, cold. Giselle’s eyes widened. Giselle immediately tried to refuse it, shaking her head. But Leon held her tighter, his kiss was so forceful, and with one controlled movement,

Chapter 36The De Santos Corp office building towered majestically in the middle of Budapest's business district. The glass walls reflected the bright morning sky, contrasting with Leon's mood, which had been gloomy since earlier. The man walked in with a firm stride, his dark blue suit framing his sturdy frame. Several staff members greeted him politely, but Leon only nodded coldly.Upon entering his office, Leon tosses a folder onto the desk and sits down immediately. He opens his laptop, trying to focus on the packed meeting agenda. But his mind remains restless.The image of Giselle's face keeps popping into his mind, despite Leon's efforts to push it away."Why does that annoying girl have to keep bothering my thoughts now?" Leon murmurs.Before Leon could touch the cup of coffee on the desk, the door to his office was knocked twice. Before he could respond, the door opened. A woman with long black hair, wearing an elegant white coat, stood at the doorway. “Leon…” her voice was

One month had passed since Giselle and Aura agreed to work together.Through legal channels and well-planned steps, Dirly’s assets were successfully frozen. Giselle also found a way to reclaim part of her family’s wealth that had been taken from them. Meanwhile, Aura used her media network to expose all of Dirly’s wrongdoings.Now, the man who once lived in luxury was staying in a small rented house on the outskirts of the city. His appearance was unkempt, and many people who were once close to him had chosen to distance themselves.That afternoon, Giselle and Aura sat in a quiet café.“Have you seen the news this morning?” Aura asked as she placed her phone on the table. The screen displayed a photo of Dirly in shabby clothes.Giselle glanced briefly. “Yes. But we can’t let our guard down. Someone like him will always look for a way to rise again.”Aura sighed. “Rise from what? All his money is gone, his accounts are frozen. Even his friends don’t want to help him anymore.”“Trust me

That afternoon, the atmosphere at the De Santos Mansion felt warm and calm. The car carrying Giselle stopped right in front of the main entrance. She stepped out with her small bag in hand, her eyes fixed on the grand building. It had been a long time since she last came home.As soon as she entered, the familiar scent of the house greeted her. In the living room, she spotted Aunt Hansel—Leon’s mother—sitting comfortably while reading a magazine.“Aunt Hansel,” Giselle greeted with a smile.Hansel looked up and returned the smile warmly. “Oh, Giselle. You’re back. How was your trip?”“Smooth, Aunt. But… where’s Leon?” Giselle asked, trying to sound casual.Hansel glanced at the watch on her wrist. “As usual, at this hour he’s always in his study. You know Leon—once he’s buried in his work, he loses track of time.”Giselle nodded. “Alright, Aunt. I’ll go see him.”Without the slightest suspicion, she walked toward Leon’s study, unaware that someone she never expected was inside.When s
