Perfectly Ruined のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Deli woke up with a sharp gasp when freezing water splashed over her face. She choked, shivering, and struggling to catch her breath. Her eyes blinked rapidly, disoriented, not understanding where she was until another bucket of water poured over her again, drenching her whole body.Her head jerked up, strands of wet hair sticking to her cheeks. That was when she realized she was tied to a chair… The Thick rope cut into her wrists, her ankles pressed together so tight she could barely move. She tugged and pulled, but her struggles were useless.From the corner, Venessa’s voice cut through. “Don’t waste your energy, sweetheart. You’re going to need it soon.”Deli slowly turned her eyes to her. If looks could kill, Venessa would’ve dropped dead right there. “What sick game are you playing now?” she spat out angrily. Venessa smirked, then walked over, heels clicking on the floor. She grabbed Deli hard by the jaw, nails digging into her skin. “Sick game?” she mocked, leaning in close. “T

Once she was done and didn’t feel like throwing up anymore, Ava stood up slowly while he rubbed her back. She rinsed her mouth and splashed water on her face before he helped her out of the bathroom. Embarrassment weighed on her…of all times, why did he have to be there when she was bent over and vomiting?He walked her back to the living room and sat her on the couch before hurrying off to get her a glass of water. He handed it to her gently, and she looked at him for a second before taking it, sipping slowly.“Are you sick?” he asked worriedly. Thinking about the pills he found in his car. “I’m fine,” she muttered. “Just nauseous.”“Then let me know if it gets worse,” he said.Her brows pulled together. “Why?”He blinked, caught off guard. “What do you mean, why?”She let out a sharp breath. “Don’t start acting like you care. That’s your trick, isn’t it? Acting concerned until you get into a girl’s pants.” Her voice shook with anger she didn’t even know was building. Maybe it was

Death’s foot pressed hard on the accelerator, the engine growling as the car tore down the empty stretch of road. The streetlights had long ended, leaving only the thick shadows of the forest that hugged both sides of the narrow road. His jaw was tight the entire time, eyes darting between the road and the rearview mirror. He wasn’t just fleeing, he was racing against time.The further he drove, the darker the road became until the mouth of a tunnel appeared. Without hesitation, he swerved in, headlights slicing through the pitch black. The tunnel stretched on, silent until finally it opened into a hidden compound buried underground.He pulled up sharply, killed the headlights, and scanned his surroundings to make sure no one had followed. Only then did he step out, circling the car to the backseat.Deli lay there, limp, her head tilted to the side as though the weight of her body had surrendered completely. His face hardened. He usually doesn't feel any emotions seeing people like

Aaron stood in front of the huge mansion, his hands stuffed deep into his pockets. The door opened and his mother appeared, her face lighting up with a smile that didn’t feel warm, it felt like triumph.“I knew you’d come back,” she said with a smirk. “You can’t possibly survive out there alone.”She stepped aside and let him in. Aaron didn’t say a word. He just walked past her, his chest heavy, as he went straight to his room. Once inside, he locked the door and slid down against it, curling his knees to his chest. His head dropped, and tears came hard and fast. He hated himself for it, but crying was all he could do.He was running away again. That’s what he always did…run. Run from problems, run from responsibility, run from anything that demanded strength from him.He should’ve been happy. Ava was carrying his child, and that should’ve been enough to make his heart explode with joy. But instead, fear ate him alive. Fear of ending up like his father. Fear of being a man who couldn

[Monroe's firm tower]Life hadn’t been the same for Chase ever since Deli went missing. Days had passed, yet no trace of her was found. But Chase refused to believe it. She couldn’t just be gone like that. He knew deep inside him that she was alive.Maybe she was hiding, maybe she hated him for what he had done, but she was out there somewhere. His biggest mistake was thinking she would be safe away from him. He had been a fool. Now, the weight of her disappearance pressed on him like a curse. Every second, every hour, he blamed himself.He sat behind his desk, lost in his thoughts, when loud voices from outside dragged him back to reality.“Sir, please…you can’t go in!” the secretary protested.The next second, Adrian barged in. His eyes burned with fury the moment they landed on Chase. Without a word, he rushed forward, grabbed Chase by the collar, and pulled him up.“You bastard!” Adrian snarled, his fist flying toward Chase.Chase dodged just in time, his own fist connecting with
