The next day, I woke up. My whole body ached, and my head felt like it was going to explode—probably because of the rain yesterday.I wanted to get up and get ready for university, but I couldn’t. I had no strength left, and the pain between my legs was unbearable.I thought about what had happened yesterday. I wished it had all been just a cruel nightmare, but the pain told me otherwise.Levi was my first for everything. I couldn’t bring myself to hate him, no matter how heartless he was.I forced myself out of bed to take some medicine. Luckily, I had some pills in my room, so I didn’t have to walk all the way to the mansion. After taking them, I went back to bed, hoping to feel better after some sleep.The next day.I hadn’t expected to sleep for so long after taking just two pills. By the time I woke up, it was already midday. I felt a little better, but I was still weak.RING!My phone rang. I fumbled around for it, answering without even opening my eyes."Hello?""You’r
My heart raced when I heard his order and I looked into his eyes."If you want to be my secretary, you have to be ready to serve my needs at all times.""You do this to all your secretaries?" I clenched my hands tightly, waiting for an answer I already knew."No, not everyone."For Levi, a one-night stand must be something very normal, and he didn't commit to anyone... including me. So, I should act like nothing ever happened between us."Let me go before anyone sees us.""Who would dare barge in here?""You won’t let me go because you want to hold me?" I said it intentionally, hoping it would make him let go of me, and it worked. He distanced himself as if he felt disgusted."No way."He walked toward his desk and stared at me."Get out.""Master ordered me to help with your work.""There's nothing you can do here. Just get out! I can’t stand seeing your face.""I'll sit quietly. If you need anything, just give the order." I walked to the large sofa. If it weren't for Mas
I stared at his sharp face for a long time. Even though it hurt, my heart still loved him.I didn’t know what had come over me. I wrapped my hands around Levi’s neck and whispered, "I love you."When he heard me, Levi paused his thrusting for a moment, his expression cold and emotionless.After I spoke, I tried to kiss him, but Levi turned his face away. Tears streamed down my cheeks."I don’t kiss women I have no feelings for."A sharp pain pierced my chest. I always seemed to do things that hurt me.Thud, thud, thud.Levi resumed thrusting savagely, as if angered by my earlier words."Ugh~ It... hurts." I clenched my fists, trying to endure the pain, but it was no use."Ah~" Levi tilted his head back slightly, letting out a soft groan.His face was captivating, his eyes filled with desire, beautiful yet terrifying.Without thinking, I reached out to touch his sharp features.Bam!He slapped my hand away harshly."What do you think you’re doing?""N-no... Nothing."Ba
I didn’t understand what Levi was thinking. He had just told me to leave, but now he was ordering me to stay. Maybe he overheard me talking to Thomas. Still, I didn’t dare think it was because of jealousy. I didn’t dare hope…“Do it. It better be done when I come back.”“But… I already said yes to Thomas.”“So what?”He walked out, leaving no room for argument."..."I sighed, picked up the pile of papers, and called Thomas to postpone our date.Thomas grumbled, making me feel guilty. This was the second time I had postponed on him.I carefully read through every single page of the document. Since I had never worked in a company before, there were many things I didn’t understand. But Levi wouldn’t tell me anything even if I asked.Hours passed.It was now 9 o’clock, and I had finished reading all the documents while waiting for Levi. He hadn’t shown up since he left the room.CREAK.Lost in thought, I was startled when the door suddenly opened. I stood up, holding all the d
Thomas frowned, confusion evident on his face.“Engagement?” His question made me press my lips together, unsure how to respond.“Tell him that I’m your soon-to-be fiancé,” Levi said.“Soon-to-be fiancé?” Thomas repeated, while I stood frozen.Levi walked up to Thomas before glancing at me. “You didn’t tell him?”“…”I remained silent.When I didn’t answer, Levi turned back to Thomas and said, “Do you want to be engaged to her? Go ahead. I’ll give her to you.”His words cut deep.Did he see me as nothing more than an object—something he could give away whenever he pleased? I had always known he didn’t care about my feelings when we were alone, but saying that in front of someone else… it was too much.“Will you really give her to me?” Thomas asked seriously, meeting Levi’s gaze without a hint of fear.“Fine by me. She’s just leftovers… you can have her if you want.”“What does he mean, Mirin?” Thomas turned to me, his expression darkening.“Nothing. Please just leave,” I s
“Who is this girl?” asked the woman sitting next to Levi.“You should give me all your attention,” he ordered.She smiled mockingly at me before sliding her hand between Levi’s legs.A sharp pain stabbed through my chest. If we hadn’t slept together before, maybe it wouldn’t hurt this much. If I stayed here any longer, I might cry.Ten minutes passed. I sat with my head down, forced to listen as Levi flirted with the women around him. The one beside him spoke sweetly to him nonstop.I clenched my fists so tightly that my palms grew damp with sweat. I tried to hold myself together, to keep the tears at bay, even as my heart shattered.“Why do you have to make her sit here and watch you?” Cullen finally spoke up.“It’s none of your business,” Levi replied coldly.I glanced up at them, my gaze landing on Levi.“You’re insane,” Cullen muttered.“So what?”Cullen sighed softly before turning to me.“Do you want to get out of here?”“Um… yes,” I admitted.“Don’t stick your nose
Levi leaned in even closer, his breath warm against my skin.“Hurry up and answer me,” he murmured. “I’m being kind enough to let you choose.”“I don’t want to do this anymore.”“Are you sure?”"..." I had already answered, yet when he asked again, I hesitated.“I’ll give you another chance,” he said.“What do you want me to say?”“You probably don’t want me to sleep with other women.” He said it with such confidence—because he knew exactly how I felt.And he was right. I didn’t want him to be with anyone else.I shot back. “Do you want to be with me… or with them?”He smirked like he was pleased I had dared to ask that question.“If I said I wanted you… would you spread your legs for me?”He was cunning—twisting the conversation in a way where, no matter what I said, I would lose.“Have I ever meant anything to you?”“If you want to have value then do as I say.”“...”“Open your legs.”I pressed my lips together tightly, refusing to obey. Levi’s sharp eyes scanned m
A week later.I stopped helping Levi at the office, telling Master that I was busy studying. The truth was, I was avoiding Levi. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to see him—it was that his cruelty made me want to step back. But no matter how much distance I put between us, my feelings refused to fade.Today, Master was leaving for his trip abroad, which meant I would have to see Levi again."Don’t forget to call me when you're there. You’ll be gone for quite a while this time. I’ll miss you terribly," I said.Master raised a hand, patting my head gently and affectionately."It's getting late. Has my ‘good’ son still not shown up?" Master sighed. "If I were dying, would he even be sad?""Don't say that.""Ah, he always makes me worry. He’s not a teenager anymore," Master complained.I listened in silence, secretly praying that Levi wouldn’t come. But prayers don’t always get answered.The moment I saw him walk through the door, my chest tightened."Why are you only showing up no
Levi’s cold words cut deep into my heart. Even though I was hurting inside, I forced myself to act like I didn’t feel a thing.“If I’m as boring as you say, why would you be so jealous?”“Do you think I did any of this because I was jealous?”“…”“Don’t flatter yourself.” At that moment, Levi’s hands moved to unhook my bra.“Do you know what you are? Just a toy.”“You have so many women to choose from. If you don’t like me, why don’t you just…”“At most, you’ll only ever have my body. But remember this—you’ll never have my heart.”I tried to act strong, to pretend I didn’t feel anything, to fight back against someone as cruel as him. But my heart was too fragile to handle his harsh words.“Don’t you think that if I wanted to love…”He easily pulled off my shirt, leaving me exposed. My bra was gone as well.“…I would’ve loved you a long time ago.”Levi pushed me down onto the edge of the pool, then stripped off and climbed on top of me.My mind was a mess, torn between stop
I tried to push Levi away, but he held on tightly.It was strange. While I was doing everything I could to avoid him, Levi seemed determined to keep me close.“Levi, let me go.”“Come up to the room with me.”“W-why?” My hair stood on end at the thought of going to his room.“Come up, and we’ll do… what we used to do.”“N-no… I don’t want to betray Thomas.” I said it even though I hadn’t officially agreed to date Thomas yet. I hoped it would make Levi stop, but I was wrong. Someone like him never cared about anyone else’s feelings.Levi let out a deep breath, his eyes dark and cruel. “Did you agree to date him?”“Yes, I did.”“Yesterday, you were with me… and today, you’re dating him? You’re really something.”“Let’s just stop this. Let’s not get involved with each other anymore.”“Fine! I’ll stay out of it if you can honestly tell me you don’t feel anything for me anymore.”Levi stared into my eyes, his gaze intense. Why was he even asking me that?“You’re the one who sai
Back in my room, I couldn’t stop crying. My body was bruised and covered in marks.It hadn’t even been a day, and I was already like this. What would happen after a few months? University break was coming up, but there were still two months left. Right now, that felt like an eternity.To be honest, having sex with someone I liked—someone like Levi—didn’t make me happy at all. Instead, it was pure torment because no matter how many times we did this, I knew I would never have his heart.“Mom, I miss you so much… sob.“Can you take me with you? Right now… sob. It hurts so much.”I kept crying, my voice shaking as I spoke to my mother. I didn’t know how much more pain I had to endure before I finally gave up. My heart was still consumed by Levi.…Or should I try opening my heart to someone else? Maybe then, my feelings for Levi would start to fade.The next day, I woke up early to head to the university, even though my class wasn’t until ten in the morning. The reason I rushed out
“Ugh!” I tried to struggle, but I was no match for Levi. My small fists pounded against his chest with all my might, but it was useless.Instead of stopping, Levi bit my lips with his sharp teeth, as if he was punishing me. His hands cradled my head, pressing my lips harder against his. I could barely breathe, the air growing thinner by the second.“Damn it! Why are you hitting me?!” he shouted, his eyes blazing with a ferocity that made it seem like he wanted to devour me whole.“I... I’m sorry, I have to go” I stammered. If I stayed here, I knew this wouldn’t end with just a kiss.Levi was unpredictable and volatile. I couldn’t afford for my body to get hurt—the pain in my heart was already at its limit.“Do you really think you can just walk out of this room?” he growled.“W-What do you mean?”“It means you’re not going anywhere until I’ve had my way with you!”“Eek! Let me go, Levi!”Without warning, Levi scooped me up in a bridal carry and marched toward the bed.Thump!
Levi’s eyes held no tenderness. He had never looked at me like this before—never.Why did my love hurt so much?I met his gaze and said, “I didn’t leave because of Master.”“What does this have to do with my father?”“This house belongs to him. If he ever asks me to leave, I will.”“Soon, this house will be mine.”“Then we’ll wait for that day.”Levi exhaled sharply before grabbing my wrists and pinning them above my head.“Or do you think you can have both father and son?” he spat.“How could you even think something so insane?”I couldn’t believe it. Master was my benefactor. How could Levi see it any other way?“Why not?”“Levi, have you lost your mind?! Let me go!”I thrashed against his hold, but he didn’t stop me. He just watched. I fought until my strength drained away, my breath coming in ragged gasps.“Don’t let me find out you want my father as your other husband.”Levi’s grip on my arms tightened, his gaze burning into me.“I’m the only one you can be with.”
