Captivating Love: A Fateful Trade with a Powerful Boss

"No, please, don't... You're my sister. How can I treat you like this?" Her eyes welled up with tears, her voice trembling. "Sister? It's all deception! Until now, I've never considered you my sister. In my eyes, you're the girl who drives me crazy." His gaze turned intense and fiery, a sign of possessive desire. He loved her too much, to the point of obsession. When he was nine, he first saw Rosabella Helga and his frozen heart thawed. And now, because of her, he had fallen into a bottomless abyss... Thirteen years had passed, and he had waited for her madly, willing to let go of all his hatred just to one day stand by her side in glory. But what shattered his heart was that in the end, she married another man, despite him becoming a man admired by all, with immense power and influence at his disposal. "Rosabella Helga, to have you, I won't hesitate to use any means to claim you." He pulled Rosabella out of the ceremony hall, forcing her to sign the marriage certificate. "Richard Helga, I hate you. Even though you have my body, you will never have my heart." She sobbed, her eyes filled with resentment. He caused her father to die from anger while lying sick in bed, killed her fiancé, seized all her wealth, and imprisoned her... She was taken one after another, abused, and crushed by a heartless demon. The gentle youth who once devotedly cared for her had turned into a monstrous, possessive, and deranged beast. So, all these ten years he had been secretly plotting, it was all just a laughable revenge game?
