Chapter 105
I'd never seen Jared so clingy before. Even when we first got married, he wasn’t the type to stick with me. Back
then, | was always the one clinging to him.
He had work on his mind all the time. The company had just landed in his hands, and the workload was crazy.
He was so busy he was barely ever home, and our honeymoon got cut short. Whenever he did show up, I'd just

him.
| suddenly realized that when we got married, he didn’t really love me. He was just after my youth and the
emotional value | brought him.
It was like | was his little pet. If | made a fuss, he'd handsmoney; if | was upset, he’d buya gift.
Sure, Jared would sometimes lower his voice and sweet-talk me, but that was only because he knew | was easy
to coax.
He was the ultimate tease, and after we got married, he totally hadhooked like a clueless fish.
But now, | wasn’t going to be the fish anymore. | was ready to do sfishing of my own. Marriage had turned
into a playful gof cat and mouse between us.
‘So, who's reeling in who now? If one’s the first to take the bait, one’s the fish, | thought.
| didn’t say anything, but with my soft curves and delicate frame, it only took the slightest tease from Jared to

He reached out, gently tucking a few playful strands of hair behind my ear, then traced his fingers lightly over
my smooth cheek, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips. “Victoria, are you aging backwards or something?”
| blinked in surprise, refusing to meet his eyes. Instead, | turned my head away, staring out at the night sky.
Jared must've felt a little let down when | didn’t respond. | figured if | kept acting cold, he'd get the message and
just go to sleep on the other bed.
But I really underestimated him. Even withacting all uninterested, he wasn’t about to give up.
He reached out and switched off all the lights, leaving the whole bedroom bathed in shadows.
The overlapping shadows on the wall made the atmosphere even more intense, and | couldn't help but blush. |
reached out, trying to push him away.
Suddenly, Jared lost his patience. He grabbed his belt from the side, caught my hands, and tied them above my
head.
The leather was stiff and bit into my wrists, making it sting. With a rough, husky whisper in my ear, he said, “Just
hold on. It'll be over soon.”
After what felt like forever, Jared lay on top of me, his breath coming in rough, heavy bursts, not moving an inch.
“You're so heavy,” | managed to gasp, barely able to breathe.
Only then did Jared kisssoftly on the cheek, undo the belt, and setfree. He gently stroked the red marks
on my wrists with his fingers, then pressed two tender kisses to them. “Victoria, don’t you loveanymore?”

He picked this moment to ask, and my heart skipped a beat. | managed to speak, my voice hoarse. “What if |
don’t?”

Jared pulled the blanket over us, letting out a low laugh. “If that’s how it is, then so be it. Love isn’t something
you can fake or
hide.”
My eyes went still as | looked at him in the darkness.
