Semua Bab Too Late To Get Me Back, Husband : Bab 61 - Bab 70

CHAPTER 2“Fuck!” I screamed, covering my mouth from the sharp pain coming from my p*ssy. She pressed the spot she had waxed before applying more wax.“Why the fuck is this necessary?!”Instead of replying, she ripped the wax off, and a sharp pain shot through my head. My toes curled as tears filled my eyes.“Done,” she said after a while, and I opened my eyes. I sat up only to see how clean and pink my p*ssy looked, and suddenly a memory entered my mind.It can't be.“This should go well with your skin.” She showed me a lingerie set that barely covered anything.“No!” I snapped. “I am a married woman. I won't become his toy! I already left many years ago. This—”“That is none of my business, Ria. I am only doing as I am told,” she rudely cut in, taking me aback. “Now stand up. We don't have all day chit-chatting in here. You don't want to make the boss mad at you.”She took out the knife, and fear gripped my heart. I forced my legs off the table, not feeling like myself anymore. She

FLASHBACKRIAI don't know why I kept the card.For three days, it remained buried inside my purse. Every time I reached for my wallet or my keys, my fingers brushed against the smooth black surface. Every time, I told myself I would throw it away.Yet...I never did.Perhaps because going back home meant pretending I hadn't overheard my parents.Pretending I hadn't learned that every smile they gave me had a purpose.Or perhaps...I simply wanted to believe that someone out there could offer me a different life.On the fourth day, I found myself standing in front of the same nightclub.The music pulsed through the walls, and the queue stretched around the entrance. I stared at the card in my hand, wondering if I'd made a mistake.Before I could turn around, a suited man approached me."Miss Ria?"I frowned."How do you know my name?"He smiled politely."The boss has been expecting you."My heart skipped.Expecting me?"I... I never said I was coming.""He said if you returned, it wo

RIAThe room fell silent.Painfully silent.When I finished speaking, I could no longer bring myself to look at him.My throat had gone dry from reliving memories I had spent years trying to bury. Every word had ripped open an old wound, leaving me feeling more exhausted than relieved.I lowered my head, staring at the wineglass resting on the table.Neither of us spoke.The music playing softly in the background suddenly felt unbearably loud.Seconds stretched into minutes.I could hear nothing except my own heartbeat.Then...A quiet chuckle escaped him.I slowly raised my eyes.Devil was leaning back in his chair, one finger lazily tracing the rim of his empty glass."So..."He stood."...that was your reason."My stomach tightened.He walked past me, unhurried, stopping in front of the large window overlooking the city below."You believed I was a monster."His voice was calm."You panicked."He turned slightly."And in your panic..."His piercing eyes met mine."...you betrayed m

LARAFor a moment, neither of us spoke.She stood at the doorway, dressed in a simple pair of jeans and a white blouse. Her hair was tied neatly behind her head, and the dark circles beneath her eyes told me she hadn't been sleeping well.She looked different.Not physically.Emotionally.The warmth that used to soften her face whenever she looked at me had disappeared completely.All that remained was indifference.The officer glanced between us."You have ten minutes."Lara gave a small nod."I understand."The officer stepped outside, though I noticed he deliberately left the door slightly open. Two armed officers remained visible through the narrow gap.Lara walked into the room without saying a word.She didn't move closer to the bed.Instead, she stopped several feet away, folded her arms across her chest, and looked at me as though I were a complete stranger.I forced out a weak smile."Lara...""Don't."Her voice was calm and cold."I didn't come here for that."The smile disa

LARABryan's face paled.For the first time since I had known him, he looked genuinely caught off guard.He slowly lowered the phone from his ear.The call had already ended but either of us spoke.The silence between us was suffocating. I looked at the phone in his hand before meeting his eyes again."So..." My voice trembled despite my efforts to remain calm. "...you've been talking to Devil this whole time?"Bryan let out a slow breath."Lara...""Answer me.""I will.""Then answer me."His jaw tightened. "I didn't lie to you."I laughed bitterly."You didn't?""No."I took a step toward hi "I asked you whether you had anything to do with Gerald's attack.""And I told you the truth.""You expect me to believe that after hearing you call Devil?""I wasn't speaking to him because I helped him." He rubbed a hand over his face, looking more exhausted than defensive."I called because I needed answers too."I stared at him."What does that even mean?"Bryan looked at me for several long
