All Chapters of Body Swap Madness: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

I was stunned. When I didn't respond, Norman kissed me on the cheek. "Cindy's been watching me too closely these days, and I haven't had any time to see you."I was supposed to be Cindy Murray. But if I were here, then who was the "me" inside that body? A chill ran down my spine. Suddenly, even the man in front of me felt unfamiliar.My silence made Norman's face darken. He held my chin hard. "I told you. Don't bring this to Cindy. I'll give you anything you want except for becoming my wife."Tears welled in my eyes, but I couldn't say a word. Seeing my tearful face, Norman softened a little. "Alright. There, there. Why are you being so sensitive again? Good girl. I'll drop by and show you my love later."Suddenly, I felt so disgusted. Norman had always lied to me. I wanted to tell him the truth—but just then, the door opened, and Norman reflexively shoved me aside. The "me" appeared at the door, smiling. "Julia, why aren't you coming in? Seriously, Norman. Why are you

Norman immediately called out, "Security, get over here!"Two tall bodyguards entered the room.Gritting his teeth, Norman hissed, "I told you before this. No one is allowed to lay a finger on Cindy. Not even you! Pour all the soup from the pot onto her hands."With that, he scooped up the crying Julia and left."No!" I screamed, "Norman, I'm the real Cindy! Look at me!"But Norman didn't hear me. He hurried away, getting farther and farther. The bodyguards came toward me with the pot. I tried to escape, but the other bodyguard held my hands down. "No, let me go! I'm the real Mrs. Ford... You can't do this to me!"One of the bodyguards gave a mocking smile. "Miss Julia, this is Mr. Norman's order. There's nothing we can do."And with that, the boiling soup was poured over my hands.The pain was so intense that I passed out within seconds.When I came to, Norman was sitting at my bedside, his face dark. When he saw I was awake, he said irritably, "I know you're upset, but I t

Norman took the package and, as soon as he opened it, a divorce certificate fell out. Both Julia's and Norman's faces changed.Norman bent down to pick up the certificate. When he gave it a better look, he saw my name and his on it. He whipped his head toward Julia, who was still dressed in her wedding gown. "Cindy, what's going on?"Before Julia could say anything, she suddenly clutched her head and crouched down. Norman rushed to support her anxiously. "What's wrong, Cindy? Are you feeling sick?"When she looked up in his arms, Julia was wearing her own face once again.Norman recoiled in shock, shoving Julia away. "Julia? Cindy? What's happening?"Julia was just as confused. She opened her mouth, but no words came out.Norman opened the letter that came with the divorce certificate with trembling hands.[Norman, I don't know why, but Julia and I swapped bodies. Maybe you should ask her. But I know everything you did to her and to me these past few days. You disgust me.

The moment Norman heard the word "divorce" from me, his reaction was extreme. "No! Cindy, that's not real! I never agreed to it! I've already punished Julia and the one who made you swap bodies. Look!" He frantically pulled out his phone, showing me a gallery full of surveillance videos.He tapped one at random—it was a clip of Julia being tortured with electric shocks. She was so thin that she was unrecognizable, her eyes empty and lifeless.After seeing those images, my disgust for Norman only grew."Norman, do you really think you're blameless? If you didn't let it happen, would our marriage have ended up like this?" I enunciated every word with hard emphasis. "Norman! You! Brought! This! On! Yourself!"Norman grew paler with every word. When I finished, I tried to shake him off and leave, but he held me tightly. He dropped to his knees. "Cindy! Please, it was my fault. I never should have cheated." Tears welled up in his eyes. "Cindy, come back with me! Forget the others,

A few days later, I heard from Timothy that Norman had already been deported back to his country.After returning, Norman still refused to give up. He used the Ford Group to play his proposal videos to me on billboards everywhere, hoping I would come back.Meanwhile, Timothy used the Sunderland family's connections to expose Norman's illegal kidnapping overseas while keeping my name and identity confidential.Because of Norman's actions, the Ford family's stock price plummeted. The company's cash flow dried up, and after a massive sell-off and hostile takeover, the Ford Group went bankrupt.Norman's villa was repossessed. When the notary came to take possession, they found Julia barely alive in the basement and rescued her.Julia took Norman to court. The crime of attempted murder was enough to put him behind bars for decades.After hearing all this, I felt a bit remorseful. Still, it was all in the past now.Half a year later, the "Brilliance" fashion line I designed with Tim
