All Chapters of The Unbearable Game: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

All I wanted to do upon returning from my business trip was to head home instead of attending the celebration dinner. When my colleagues knew about this, they all teased me, saying that "absence makes the heart grow fonder."I did not mind their teasing, though. If they had a stunning wife like mine, I knew they probably would not even get out of bed.My wife, Leanne, was my first love and also my college classmate. Her beauty was striking, both cool and enchanting. With curves in all the right places, she was a truly devilish figure. She was the goddess of our school back then. I went to great lengths to win her over. In the three years I spent trying, I was practically the definition of a "persistent admirer" who finally got everything he wanted.The day I got home, I gave her the gift I had just bought. "Honey, open it up and take a look."Her beautiful face softened just a bit as she opened the gift box to find a delicate, cream-colored purse inside.A joyful smile appeared on

Facing such a tempting scene, I confess that my mind did start to wander. However, my sensible side, fortified by years of learning, remained steadfast. I could not do this. I had a family, a beautiful wife, and maybe even a child on the way. I could not make such a careless mistake.I pulled the door shut, cutting off that final thread of reckless desire within me. I went back home and took a cold shower to clear my head. The light in the guest room was still on, and my wife was likely still awake.I thought about knocking and having a few words with her, perhaps apologizing for what happened the past few days. Just as I lifted my hand, however, I paused.The door was slightly ajar, and through the narrow opening, I saw her sitting in the room, wearing a pure white, delicate lingerie set. The white lace gave her an angelic, flawless look, yet the subtle cutouts hinted at a touch of forbidden allure.In our three years of marriage, she had always been proper and reserved and never

I went to her place in the evening as promised. My goal was to end my doubts and make it clear to Heather that I harbored no such thoughts about her, hoping she would let go of any misconceptions.There was a pin-drop silence in the ample space that was illuminated by an orange desk lamp. "Heather?" I called out softly to no response. How strange. Why would she not be home when she had been the one to invite me over in the evening? I walked around the house, and all the doors were closed except for one. The room it led into was dark.I opened the door and was greeted by a strange fragrance."Heather? Are you at home?" I shouted again.There was a click, and the door was closed. I turned around and saw Heather, her figure illuminated under the moon's light. She was wearing a thin, sheer dress that covered her flawless body. Underneath was nothing. Her privates were visible, and my blood rose."Heather, what are you doing? Where is Liam?"She pressed her delicate fingers to my

Unlike the elegant young woman from yesterday, today she looked like a chaotic mess. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and she was crying uncontrollably."Please, Cyril, help us," she begged as soon as she entered. She immediately dropped to her knees in front of me, pleading.My wife was still asleep. I was worried she might wake her up, so I carefully checked the bedroom and quietly closed the door.We had agreed to sever all ties yesterday, yet here she was today, knocking on my door. To be honest, I was not happy about it."What's the matter?" I asked coldly."Cyril, Liam has been taken away by some people. They said if we don't pay back the money, they'll cut off his hands.""Who are these people? How could someone like Liam owe anyone money?"She sniffed and wiped her nose. "We got involved in the adult live-streaming industry through chance. We made a lot of money easily at first. Once we had some capital, Liam grew increasingly greedy for more. Eventually, he got into
