I've been crushing on Feng Hong for three months, and everyone thinks I like him. Pfft... Who wants to be his girlfriend? I want to be his sister-in-law!
I spent three months playing the devoted admirer to Jarrod Sullivan, and everyone thought I had a crush on him.
But the truth was... I didn't want to be his girlfriend and I wanted to be his sister-in-law!
I fell head over heels for Colin Sullivan at first sight, because he was handsome, wealthy, great shape, and with no girlfriend, no ex, and no scandals. He was the perfect bachelor.
But in just a fleeting glance, Colin disappeared into the crowd.
After some digging, I discovered that Jarrod, his younger brother, was actually my classmate.
So, with the idea of taking the long way around to achieve my goal, I played the devoted admirer to Jarrod for three months.
Until one day, Colin asked me to bring him a late-night snack.
When I opened the door, there was Colin, wearing nothing but a towel, his eight-pack abs on full display.
I instantly tossed the late-night snack aside and jumped straight at Colin.
Naturally, I didn't succeed, but I did manage to get his Whatsapp.
When I got home, I furiously typed away, describing Colin's flawless looks to my best friend.
"How do I ask him out?" I wondered.
"What does he like? It's best to tailor your approach," my friend advised.
Her words made sense, so I checked Colin's social media, filled with classic business posts, only company promotions and business collaborations.
Our brief chats were all very formal, too.
No wonder I was drawn to him. He was impressive and aloof, well, this would be easy. It was time to get down to business!
On the first day, I invited him to a fancy restaurant, but he said the service was too slow.
The second day, I invited him to play golf, but he said he was tired of playing with clients.
The third day, I invited him to the movies, but he said the movie quality was too poor.
I was speechless, and I thought, was he doing this on purpose?
Frustrated, I sent him a message. I said, "How about we go to a hot spring?" but I regretted it immediately.
After all, from what I knew about him, Colin seemed like the kind of celibate CEO that only read about in novels, so if I scared him off, it would all be for nothing.
Just as I was about to retract the message, he replied, "Send me the time and place."
I was shocked, what happened to the celibate CEO? and turned out, he was a closet flirt!
But at least I got him to agree.
Though I was definitely attracted to his body, I was determined not to let him have his way easily.
To make a "memorable impression", I arrived at the hot spring hotel ahead of time.
After getting ready, I waited for him to arrive, but to my surprise, I ran into Jarrod.
Jarrod wearing a bathrobe with the collar wide open, revealed his unimpressive physique.
I had no time for him and tried to avoid him, but Jarrod noticed me.
"I was wondering why I hadn't seen you lately. Thought you finally calmed down. Turns out you're stalking me now. Here to spy on me at the hot spring?" he sneered.
At this, his rowdy friends immediately burst into laughter.
"Haha, this admirer really has no limits!" someone said.
"Hey, beautiful lady, want to join us for a bath? You can observe Mr. Sullivan's physique up close," another said.
Jarrod kicked one of them and said, "Stop grossing me out!"
What a headache!
I admitted, I did fawn over him a bit for my plan, but hearing it from them made me sound like a creepy stalker.
I squinted at Jarrod and scoffed, "With your lack of abs and pecs? Not even worth a second glance."
Jarrod looked surprised, then seemed to have an epiphany, saying, "Oh, you're playing the game of attraction?"
I decided to be honest, saying, "Honestly, I wasn't after you. I want to be your sister-in-law!"
My words stunned not only Jarrod but also his friends.
Jarrod, however, was unfazed and said to his buddies, "Do you believe her? I bet a thousand dollars she'll be begging for my forgiveness within a month!" with that, he arrogantly turned and left.
I was fuming! Hope Jarrod end up alone forever!
How could two brothers from the same family be so different? Colin, the aloof CEO, and Jarrod, the complete playboy, but rumor had it, the these brothers didn't have the good relationship.
Just as I was thinking this, a voice suddenly came from behind me, "You want to be his sister-in-law?"
I nearly jumped out of my skin.
It was Colin.
When did he get here? and how much of the conversation had he overheard?
I leaned into Colin, tracing circles on his firm chest.
"Why else do you think I invited you here?" I asked.
"So, what do you want?" Colin said.
"I want..." I replied.
Oops, I spoke too soon!
"Then what are we waiting for?" Colin said.
I couldn't help but smile, hook, line, and sinker.
We went to the reserved room, and I watched him raise his hand to unbutton his shirt, revealing his solid chest and perfect eight-pack abs, and then I couldn't help but swallow hard.
The sound echoed was loud in the quiet room, and my face turned red immediately.
Colin chuckled softly, touching my cheek, and said, "Why just watch me undress? You should too," with that, he reached to help me with my clothes.
I stood up, wrapped my arms around his neck, and dodged his hands on my clothes, and then I whispered in his ear, saying, "Why the rush? I only said I wanted you to come here to the hot springs, not in the same pool."
"I heard you're going to marry Marcelo. Is this perhaps your revenge against me? It's very laughable, Renee. That man can barely function." Her foster family, her cheating ex, everyone thought Renee was going to live in pure hell after getting married to a disabled and cruel man. She didn't know if anything good would ever come out of it after all, she had always thought it would be hard for anyone to love her but this cruel man with dark secrets is never going to grant her a divorce because she makes him forget how to breathe.
I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

My husband, Bennett, and I were New York's golden couple. But our perfect marriage was a lie, childless because of a rare genetic condition he claimed would kill any woman who carried his baby. When his dying father demanded an heir, Bennett proposed a solution: a surrogate. The woman he chose, Aria, was a younger, more vibrant version of me. Suddenly, Bennett was always busy, supporting her through "difficult IVF cycles." He missed my birthday. He forgot our anniversary. I tried to believe him, until I overheard him at a party. He confessed to his friends that his love for me was a "deep connection," but with Aria, it was "fire" and "exhilarating." He was planning a secret wedding with her in Lake Como, at the same villa he'd promised me for our anniversary. He was giving her a wedding, a family, a life—all the things he denied me, using a lie about a deadly genetic condition as his excuse. The betrayal was so complete it felt like a physical shock. When he came home that night, lying about a business trip, I smiled and played the part of the loving wife. He didn't know I'd heard everything. He didn't know that while he was planning his new life, I was already planning my escape. And he certainly didn't know I had just made a call to a service that specialized in one thing: making people disappear.
