Lahat ng Kabanata ng Love Deception: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

I heard footsteps outside the door after I was done making arrangements with a liaison from the dark web. I quickly hung up. The name Nina Secco would disappear from Don Lineti's world in three days.The soft sound of unlocking was heard, and Chris Lineti walked in, smelling strongly of smoke. He held me tightly in his arms. His eyes were filled with tenderness, just like five years ago, when we first met on that rainy night. He asked me gently, "Who were you talking to, Nina?" "It was just a marketing call," I replied with a smile, trying my best to act normal. Everyone around me always said that Chris loved me and pampered me a lot, and how I was like a precious gem that he would go to great lengths to take care of. He would always whisper romantic words into my ears, and I would swim in ecstasy in his sweet murmurings.However, none of them knew that Chris might have given me a grand wedding, but he had never married me legally, which was not something that had bothered me bef

I lowered my head as I pretended it did not bother me by smiling and nodding, but in fact, it hurt me so much that I could hardly breathe. Chris seemed to notice something wrong with me, and he held my hand guiltily. "It's our anniversary tomorrow. How about visiting the beach in advance? We can watch the stars while lying down on the beach and see the sunrise tomorrow." I nodded in agreement.During our journey to the beach, Chris kept talking about how he wanted to build a large theme park for our child once the IVF was a success. I used to share with him happily about how our lives would be once our child was born, but this time, I stayed silent. It was already dark when we arrived at the beach. His phone started to ring, and a tender look appeared on his face when he picked up the call. However, he quickly frowned and looked hesitantly at me. I tried my best to smile at him. "You should leave if you're busy. I'm fine on my own.""I'm so sorry, I…""It's fine. I know you'

Yvonne arrived after Chris, and she went to his side while pretending to be concerned. "Don't worry, Chris. She's just throwing a tantrum. She'll probably show up soon."Chris jerked back, shooting daggers at her with a cold look in his eyes. "Shut up! If you hadn't delayed my time by making me cook for you, I wouldn't have been away from her! Nina wouldn't have fallen into the sea if I had been here on time…" His voice was hoarse, and he was growling at the end of the sentence. It was the first time he had lost his temper at Yvonne. He no longer treated her with the tenderness she was used to, even going as far as refusing to give in to her.Yvonne shuddered with fright, and her bodyguards immediately stepped forward. She turned pale, and her lips quivered, not daring to say another word.Chris continued ignoring her as he turned away to continue staring at the sea, refusing to look away for even a second. He stood watch at the beach the entire night as he trembled from the stron

Meanwhile, my life started to get on track far away in Andora. I would get busy until late at night in the simple medical station, handling all sorts of difficult patient cases. There were gunshot wounds, malaria, difficult childbirths… Every task was a challenge to my medical skills and willpower.When I was too exhausted to lift a finger, I would fall asleep right away on the makeshift beds. Life was tough, but the villagers gave me strength and warmth to move on. Any family that made a good dish that day would always remember to bring me some. Even the children would bring me bouquets of wildflowers at dawn or in the evening and place them quietly in front of my tent. Every innocent smile placed happiness in my heart.Gradually, I started to get used to the simple medical conditions of this place and the constant state of emergency I had to be in to help the dying and injured while gunshots were fired in the background. Things started to get easier at work as I managed to buil

I felt nothing as I watched Chris acting despondent about the situation. My heart was like a still lake without ripples. The wedding ceremony was simple, but warm. Zack held my hand as he said to me nervously but with great sincerity, "Thank you for choosing me, Nina."I smiled in return, feeling safe and happy with him. The villagers sang and danced at the wedding, and the medical station was filled with happiness and joy as the children played and laughed in the crowd.When the wedding was over, I went to Chris, who was standing all alone outside the tent. He looked haggard with stubble all over his face and a blank look in his eyes. "It's been a while," I said softly.Chris jumped slightly, and tears welled in his eyes. "Can we go back to how it was, Nina? I'll give up everything and stay here with you." His voice was filled with desperation as he pleaded with me, as if trying to grasp his last hope.I shook my head gently and replied calmly, but with conviction, "Nina Secco i
