All Chapters of The Betrayal Misread, The Years Lost: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Seeing how calm I was, Samson looked even more annoyed.He tossed the dirty laundry that they had just changed out of right at me. "Judy's pregnant, and she can't touch cold water. Wash these for her and make sure you do it by hand."I took the laundry and bit my lip. "But we have house staff at home.""Oh, right. I almost forgot if you didn't mention it." Samson waved to the maid standing nearby. "You keep an eye on her. Don't let her slack off."I knew he wasn't going to let me have it easy, so I quietly carried the clothes away.When I fought off the kidnappers five years ago, my hand got cut, and it left an ugly scar that I always hid under my sleeve. Even now, that old wound would sting every time it touched any cold liquid.I gritted my teeth and forced myself through the pain. I couldn't help but think back to when Samson actually loved me.Back then, he was just a junior employee in a company. We didn't have maids to help us with the chores right now. No matter how tir

I tried to pull my hand back instinctively, but Samson's grip was too strong, and I couldn't break free.His gaze burned into my skin, making it sting even more.Suddenly, Judy, still lying on the floor, cried loudly. "Samson, my stomach hurts!"Samson's expression changed instantly. He rushed to Judy's side, checked on her, and then scooped her up and ran out in a panic.I tried to stand and ignore the pain in my knees, but I just couldn't manage it. Someone noticed the blood on the floor and called an ambulance in shock. I was taken to the hospital for treatment.The doctor used tweezers to pick out the shards of glass from my knee one by one. I grimaced with pain, just as voices from the next room drifted over."Thank goodness you and the baby are all right, sweetheart. I was so scared," I heard Samson say."It's okay, Samson. Don't be too hard on Helen. She just really likes jewelry, that's all..." Judy replied sweetly.Samson sat by her side, gently feeding her the bowl

Their wedding was held on a private island. Under Samson's careful planning, the whole event was unbelievably grand.He made sure every detail was perfect. Roses covered the island, and pure white petals lined every path. When the guests arrived by yacht, they were all amazed at the spectacle Samson had created.Samson promised Judy that he would give her the perfect wedding of the century.Five years ago, he had made me a similar promise.Back then, we were squeezed together on a tiny couch, and Samson swore he would give me the perfect wedding someday.We dreamed about countless wedding scenes. On a beach, on a beautiful island, in the snowy mountains, in a grand hall…But those dreams never came true.Samson handpicked Judy's wedding dress. It was made from soft white fabric embroidered with tiny diamonds and pearls, the fishtail hem hugging her figure perfectly. When she tried on the dress, all the shop assistants showered her with praise. "This gentleman is so thoughtfu

"What did you say?!" Samson's expression changed instantly. He let go of Judy's hand and rushed out of the wedding on the spot.Judy's cries and the shocked gasps of the guests exploded behind him, but Samson ignored all of it.Even Samson himself didn't know what he was doing as he left Judy alone at the altar of their wedding ceremony. He took a boat back to the mainland and drove straight home.The moment he opened the door to my room, what he saw sent a chill down his spine.The closet was empty, the desk cleared, and even the doll that had always been by the bed was gone.Gone.Everything was gone.Every trace of me had vanished from the villa.Samson grabbed Mr. Sylvester as he rushed in, his expression dark and wild. "Where's her phone? Bring me her phone!"Mr. Sylvester quickly handed him my old phone that I had tossed away. The screen was already cracked, and it wouldn't turn on. "Get someone to fix it! I want every bit of data inside preserved! Use every resource

After going through disinfection and getting out of my sweat-soaked protective suit, I finally made it back to the hotel. After all that, I collapsed into bed.I had barely closed my eyes when the phone by the bed rang. I jolted upright, thinking it was the hospital calling with another emergency.When I picked up, it was Jasper's voice, low and gentle. It somehow put me instantly at ease."Hope I'm not disturbing you," he said. "I figured you probably haven't eaten, so I got you something. It's outside your door."I froze for a second, then realized that since I had gotten off the plane, I had only managed to choke down half a piece of bread.I opened the door and sure enough, there was a thermal bag on the floor. Inside was a bowl of hot soup and some fruit.A wave of warmth suddenly washed over me. Back inside, I ate some soup and felt myself starting to relax for the first time all day.Suddenly, there was another knock at the door.When I opened it, Jasper stood there hold
