Hired For Love, Trapped In Wealth の小説・ストーリー

“Look closely. This is the woman Adrain truly loves. Linda. She’s not only beautiful, but she’s also a princess. Everyone adores her. Tell me, Helen, how long do you think my marriage to Adrain l was ever going to last?” Helen’s face turned ghostly pale. Her lips trembled, and she collapsed helplessly onto the couch. Her carefully painted nails dug into the cushions as she whispered, “No… what should I do? I can’t live in poverty again. I can’t go back…” Her voice cracked, filled with raw desperation, but I had no sympathy left for her. I had carried her burdens long enough. I had been her puppet, her scapegoat, her silent sacrifice. Not anymore.

"The person I loved doesn't exist anymore. She was a fantasy, a carefully constructed image of loyalty and affection. I loved the idea of her." “No. I moved on. Especially after I found out she wanted to marry me for my money. They were planning to bleed me dry and run off together.” The words were bitter, laced with years of suppressed humiliation. Her smile is soft, sad, a profound moment of understanding passing between us. “Must be hard to be rich when you can’t tell the fakes from the real ones.” I don’t answer. She doesn’t need the whole story, the whole ugly truth of how lonely the top of the financial ladder truly is.

I felt something tighten in my chest. “That’s why you’re clinging to Josh,” he continued. “Women like you—gold diggers, opportunists—are all the same. You don’t care about love.

I wasn’t here for love. But I wasn’t here for money either. I was here to ruin the man who ruined me.

Then, I continued, "There's a recording device in it. I initially wanted to monitor him to see if he would betray my feelings. Perhaps you can find the evidence you need in the recording." … Howard and Hector were detained under rape charges. Soon, the police found evidence of the multiple crimes they committed in their house and through my recording. I was admitted to the hospital for an entire month. After being discharged, I found time to visit Howard in jail. His hair had been shaved, and he was wearing a prison jumpsuit. He was no longer as dashing as I first saw him. Instead, he was in a state of despondence. When he laid eyes on me, his eyes widened so much that they bulged.

“Every move I make costs someone else.” Daniel brushed his thumb over her knuckles. “Then let me choose the cost.” They leaned in—just enough to feel each other’s breath, not enough to cross the line in public. “I love you,” he said quietly. Vivienne’s chest ached. “I love you too.” Footsteps approached. They separated instantly. ⸻ The Trap Springs Vivienne returned home past midnight, exhaustion pressing into her bones. Her phone buzzed. Margaux: We need to talk. Now.

I was all he had, I was his last lifeline and the fact that he could think to do this to me was my breaking point, he had crossed the line with this and I only hoped for his sake that he was ready for the consequences. But what was I expecting anyways? If he was capable of taking his beloved wife's life, then who was I? What couldn't he do to me? I guessed I should consider myself lucky then?

Grandma Nora came and sat beside me, patting my back softly in an attempt to comfort me.
