All Chapters of Paying for My Sin with 99 Lovers: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

"Come with me immediately! Veronica says that her face is itchy!"It was a little past midnight right now, and Callum was dressed in his pajamas. Was he spending the night here?If I remembered correctly, he was supposed to head to Mallorn for a work trip tonight.Callum had always been strongly career-oriented. Even when I was having a difficult labor three years ago, he still abandoned me for a business deal.Yet, here he was, spending the night with Veronica?I stepped out of the on-call room and checked on Veronica. It turned out that she was only having a mild allergic reaction, nothing that some topical solution applied to her face wouldn't fix.Callum brushed his fingers across the smooth, supple skin of her face. He looked completely infatuated."What reward do you want?"Those words were clearly meant for me.Raising a brow, I replied, "I can ask for anything?""Yeah."With that, I dug out the divorce agreement I had prepared beforehand and handed it to him.Call

As my consciousness returned to me, I realized that I was still sprawled on the icy hospital floor. The hives and itchiness all over my body had subsided.Callum's reddened eyes were focused on me, but I couldn't detect even the slightest bit of warmth in them."Tell me, just who does that bastard in your belly belong to?"I subconsciously shook my head. "I don't know. No, that's not right. There's no way I'm pregnant. You and I didn't even—"A scoff cut me off as Callum's lips twisted into a cruel sneer."That's right. I didn't even touch you, so where did that baby come from?"I opened my mouth to argue further, but at that moment, Veronica suddenly started shrieking.Blood poured from the blisters on her face, and the doctor shook his head helplessly when he saw that."It must be that solution Dr. Suther gave her. There's no way that Ms. Dane's face can recover here in this country."Veronica nestled into Callum's arms before pointing a hateful finger at me."Callum, that

Cold sweat broke out across Veronica's forehead, but she still thought Callum was messing with her."Callum, stop it. You're scaring me.""You're scared?" Callum laughed coldly. "Then, have you ever thought about how terrified Lia must be right now? She had her hands chopped off and was falsely accused of something she didn't do! Don't tell me that you didn't know she wasn't actually pregnant!"Veronica's lips trembled, but she couldn't seem to find the words to explain herself.However, the moment an icy blade was pressed against her, she began babbling without much thought. "Callum, look at my face. Don't you love me the most? How could you bear to treat me like this? Talia is just a bitch! She—Ah!"Veronica was sent sprawling with a slap to the cheek. Her newly recovered face became lopsided again.Callum stared at her with a gaze so cold it was as though he were looking at something dead."Lia is my childhood friend and wife, while you're nothing but a substitute. If I'm hap

Jamie looked rather put out and reluctant, but he still allowed Callum to come in.Callum looked starkly different from the man in my memories.A dark shadow of stubble covered his chin, and dried blood stained the wrinkled fabric of his suit. Those eyes that I used to love so much now had several new wrinkles creasing the corners.I averted my gaze, feeling rather uncomfortable.However, it was not because I was heartbroken to see him in this state, but because I found his ungroomed appearance just too unsightly."Lia, I'm so relieved to see that you're fine. I know that I was wrong, and I've already taken revenge for you. Forgive me?"He crouched beside my bed and offered up the video of him torturing Veronica.My face was blank as I had someone accept the video. Then, I spoke in a cool tone."Anything else?"Fishing out my journal, he pointed at the words while tears welled up in his eyes."Lia, I read everything. Turns out that you've loved me all along. It was my fault.
