"Since you want to live off of someone, why didn't you come to me?"
Jaden Garner stared at the red marks on my collarbone, his eyes glinting coldly and dangerously.
"You have a girlfriend," I said. I turned my face and refused to look at him.
Jealousy welled up from the bottom of my heart.
Jaden was stunned for a moment. He did not speak for a while, then he suddenly grabbed my wrist. He laughed in the next second as he uttered my name, "Natalie Yates."
When he called my name with a smile, his voice was low and magnetic. I had to admit that he had a very nice voice.
However, it sounded very harsh to me.
What was he laughing at?
I tossed him a wary glance and quickly lifted the strap of my dress to cover the red marks.
Could it be...
Could it be that he was laughing at me because I spent years in the entertainment industry pretending to be reserved and innocent, yet I was now running out of the director's room in a disheveled state?
Was that why he asked me to live off of him?
Before I could react, Jaden held my waist with his broad palms, and then suddenly pulled me toward him. It was as if he wanted to embed me in his arms.
"Natalie," he whispered to me again and let out a sound that resembled a sigh as he moved his fingertips slowly up my face.
I stiffened, feeling hot and uncomfortable.
It was too close.
I was too close to him.
All of a sudden, I caught a whiff of a familiar fragrance of pine and cypress on him.
There was also an extremely faint trace of jasmine perfume in the mix. One would not notice it if one did not pay close attention.
The perfume belonged to a lady.
My pupils suddenly contracted. I knew I should stay away from him, but I felt ashamed and devastated when I realized that I was reluctant to leave him.
I could not help scolding myself in my heart.
He had a girlfriend, but I liked him. I was too despicable.
He suddenly grabbed the back of my neck with his right hand and forced me closer to him.
"Girlfriend? Do you have terrible eyesight? Huh?" He looked down at me as his hot breath tickled my skin, and his low and hoarse voice rang out beside my ear.
My breath hitched in my throat. My back tightened as he flirted with me, and my cheeks gradually became red and hot.
My face changed slightly after understanding what he meant.
My eyesight was great. I could see very clearly.
On the contrary, it was he who had bad eyesight!
Some memories suddenly appeared in my mind.
May 20th, which was exactly a month ago, was such a tender and romantic day.
The famous singer, Yael Quinn, happened to release a new album on that day, and Jaden chose to publicize his relationship on that day.
What he posted on Twitter was very simple. There were only two words, followed by a heart emoticon. It read: [My girl.]
A picture of a woman was uploaded along with the tweet.
The woman in the photo was richly bedecked, for she dressed in a fur coat and wore countless luxury goods on her body. Judging from the picture, she looked to be around 330 pounds, was an older woman, and had a kind appearance.
In a short time, Jaden's official love declaration became the top trending topic.
Jaden's family situation and his early life were terrible. His parents died young, but fortunately, he became famous at a young age, and his career had been smooth sailing ever since.
Jaden looked noble and indifferent. He was both good-looking and had great acting skills. He won many prizes and thrived in the industry for many years without scandals. Suffice it to say, he had a good reputation in the industry.
When the romance news broke out, the server was flooded with many comments and retweets, and it almost broke down. It was understandable, especially because the woman looked like a nouveau riche.
There were many comments.
The hottest comment had more than 500,000 likes. The profile picture was of Borden Milk, and the username read: [Deputy Director of Cutvine Eye Disease Research Center.] The comment was short and curt: [Hello.]
The second comment was liked by more than 400,000 users. It was written by the best actor, Yunus Garcia, who was one of Jaden's few friends in the circle. He commented: [Amazing!]
The third most liked comment was written by Yael, the famous singer who got his trending topic taken away by Jaden's announcement. It was a curse word.
In other comments, countless male fans were crying as they wrote their blessings, and more than half of the female fans could not accept their idol's taste in women, so they announced that they would stop being his fans on the spot.
I felt like I was struck by lightning.
I was not only his fan, but I also wanted to be his wife.
Despite my acting degree, prominent and gorgeous facial features, as well as excellent acting skills, I had not been popular for many years.
A year ago, I accidentally collaborated with Jaden on a drama series. I even publicly confessed to him on Twitter because I developed feelings for him when we were acting alongside each other, but he avoided me.
After Jaden's official announcement, the netizens burst into a frenzy. Jaden would rather be kept by a rich lady old enough to be his mother than accept my confession.
At that moment, I became the laughingstock of the internet.
Even the tweet, which I confessed to Jaden a year ago, was found by the netizens and became a top trending topic.
People laughed, gloated, and scolded me.
Of course, I could not bear it. That day, I flew abroad directly, deleted Twitter, threw away my SIM card, and changed my contact information.
After hiding for a whole month, I finally made up my mind to come back.
Unexpectedly, Jaden bumped into me running out of the director's room that night. He stopped me and even told me to live off of him.
Furthermore, he made fun of my eyesight.
Thinking of that, I pressed my palm against his chest and struggled hard to push him away.
However, he pinned my hands above my head and firmly imprisoned me in that position.
I tried to break free, but my efforts were futile. I glared at him fiercely.
"My eyesight is perfectly fine."
I gritted my teeth and did my best to keep calm, trying not to let the emotions that I should not leak out.
Jaden stared at me with his dark and unfathomable eyes.
He sighed as if he was a little uncomfortable. He then turned his face and asked in a dull voice, "Do you think I look like someone who has a girlfriend?"
The atmosphere was still for a moment.
I trembled and could not believe it. I did not expect an elegant and aloof man like Jaden to say such shameless words.
Did he think that I was a fool or an outdated person who did not surf the internet?
I trembled with anger and pushed him away as I questioned, "Do you think that I'm stupid?"
Unexpectedly, Jaden glanced at me with eyes full of emotion. His lips were slightly parted, but he didn't say a thing.
I let out a bark of laughter out of anger and curled the corner of my lips into a smirk. At that moment, the aura I was exuding was almost glacial.
I steadied my breathing and looked up at him after a while.
He was looking back at me with a dark look in his eyes.
After staring at him for a long time, I suddenly smiled and said, "Do you really want to let me live off you?"
He frowned and said nothing.
I looked at him with irony in my eyes.
He did not even want me when I went up to him before. Now that I came out of the director's room, he suddenly felt that I was precious.
"I want you," he said in a low voice.
I sneered in my heart and leaned toward him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my warm lips against his ears.
"If you really want to be my sponsor, I have one condition in addition to giving me the resources I deserve."
His breathing suddenly became rapid. "What's the condition?"
I smiled, splayed my fingers on his warm chest, and rubbed his chest gently. I held in my laughter as my eyes gleamed.
His eyes, on the other hand, were gloomy and full of lust. The next second, he picked me up and brought me from the corridor to his room.
I fell into a soft bed. He leaned down, and his thin lips fell on the red marks on my collarbone. He bit me harshly as if he wanted to erase the marks left by others earlier.
I trembled and raised my chin slightly. When he kissed all the way along the collarbone, I, too, kissed him naturally. My words overflowed between our lips and teeth. "I want money."
Without an ounce of hesitation, he said in a low voice, "Okay."
I pushed him away slightly, gasped for a while, looked up at him, and smiled casually. "I want 312 thousand dollars, and I want it today."
He still promised me and kissed me again. "Okay."
My eyes were filled with tears. Somehow, I suddenly said without thinking, "I want you to break up with that old baby of yours..."
He stopped and looked a little confused. "Old-"
Before he could finish, I kissed him again and gritted my teeth. "Forget it."
I really did not want to hear his girlfriend's name from his mouth.
That night, I held his shoulders harshly. My heart felt like it was soaked in acid, and the feeling almost devoured me.
We did not sleep until we were completely exhausted.
My boyfriend went bankrupt and wants to break up with me. I don’t agree. He said, "Well, are you brave enough to get married to me?"
Do you believe in love at first sight? The moment I first met Mingyuan, I had that feeling. I cautiously accommodated him, maintaining his pride with my humility—warm yet hypocritical, like the fake flowers welcoming guests at a restaurant’s entrance. Until one day, I was utterly exhausted and chose to give up. I encountered another person during a time of chaos in my life. "So I showed up." To be honest, he awakened my desires. He saw through my games with words, understanding that I was greedy, selfish, and prone to avoidance, yet he still held my hand tightly, as he always did. I received a constant stream of messages from Mingyuan, but they no longer mattered to me. I should be someone with a strong capacity to endure and process my emotions. During the time I was Mingyuan's girlfriend, I tried my best to dissolve negative feelings within myself—without confiding or disturbing anyone. I once tried to act cute, hoping he would comfort me, thinking that just a few kind words would suffice. But he looked at me with great difficulty, saying, "I really don’t know how to comfort you. The ways of comforting girls are just tricks of scumbags; I don’t want to be like them." At that moment, I thought to myself that it was normal for a straight guy not to know how to comfort someone, and I could slowly teach him. The boy I liked would love me in his own way. The blindness of love made me completely overlook the obvious logical error in that statement. Until this moment. Last night, late at night around midnight, sharp pain in my lower abdomen jolted me awake from a rather unsettled sleep, shocking my nerves. Menstrual cramps. I was breaking into a cold sweat, curling up in bed in the hot summer, tightly closing my eyes, hoping that if I just held on, it would pass. The endless pain dulled my reason; this time, the intensity of the cramps seemed more severe than ever before. I struggled to get out of bed and, to avoid waking my roommate, stumbled around in the dark searching for ibuprofen. It should be fine now. I comforted myself with that thought. But the pain didn’t subside with the medication; in fact, I felt a churn in my stomach. In a hazy moment, I remembered the doctor's advice: it’s best not to take ibuprofen on an empty stomach and to take it half an hour before cramps start... The sound of me vomiting in the bathroom woke my roommate. She turned on the light, just as I was stepping out. She was startled by my state and nearly called for an ambulance, "Oh my God, your lips are so pale." She poured me a cup of hot water and waited with me until the pain slowly faded. When I woke up the next day, I momentarily felt as if I had been reborn. I hesitated for a long time, holding my phone, but I still wanted to tell Mingyuan about it. He was very busy with work and didn’t like being disturbed, so I didn’t dare call him and chose to send a message instead. I was really feeling a bit unwell, wanting some comfort, even just from Chatime. As dusk approached, he finally replied. "What should we do?" "Go to the hospital." When I saw the message, my emotions were somewhat flat. At that time, there were a thousand kilometers between us, and I knew that distance made care seem pale and powerless. As a modern, independent woman, I also shouldn’t be that fragile. But he, it seemed, had never cared. He had never comforted me or offered much consolation. All of this, I had never taught him. By sheer chance, I scrolled back through our chat history. The time had always...
That night at the graduation farewell dinner, he had his new girlfriend, the campus beauty, in his arms while everyone around was teasing him to introduce me, his childhood sweetheart, to someone. He glanced over at me sitting in the corner and said to his group of friends, "This silly big girl has a face that looks like someone owes her money. Who would want her?" I shrank back into the shadows, afraid that others would see the tears I was suppressing. An ugly girl doesn't have the right to cry; that was the first lesson I learned when I became his childhood sweetheart.
I woke up in the middle of the night and felt someone next to me. In the moonlight, the man dressed lightly appeared in my bed again.
Here's the translation of your text into English: "My stepson's son and I secretly had a romantic relationship for a while. It ended in a particularly ugly way. Later, when he was drunk, he cornered me in the bathroom and said, 'I’m just someone who loves being tortured; we’re meant to torment each other until we grow old. What are you going to do about it?'"
Here's the translation into English: "Participating in a variety show, my partner is a popular male star. During the escape room segment, I pretended to be scared and dove into his arms seeking protection. He snorted coldly and pushed me away: 'What are you pretending to be a weak woman for? You usually watch horror movies while eating, right?' I continued to lean into his arms: 'We're this familiar already, you don’t have to act like you're not interested in women. Just hold me tight; this is my new character setting.' 'Ex-girlfriend,' he suddenly stopped resisting, tightening his grip around my waist, 'are you trying to flirt with me?'"
"Never let anyone treat you like shit!" I learned that the hard way. For three years, I lived with my in-laws. They didn't treat me as their son-in-law but as a slave.

What do you think I did? Did I take her back or made her suffer? Find out!

P-please, I beg you. Come let's go tell Christian I had no hand in whatever happened, p-please." I clutched the lapel of his jacket desperately. "Let's go. You need to tell my husband you were paid."
