Acting for Survival- Playing the Innocent Heroine to Escape the Villain’s Trap Chapter 13

Back when Daniel and I planned to take our chances with the main couple…

I once blushed and covered my face shyly. “Do you think Richard will never let me go once we’re together?”

Daniel laughed at me back then. “You’re dreaming too hard.”

Now my silly dream had come true—and I honestly couldn’t keep up with him anymore.

Richard was applying soothing cream on my skin carefully.

I kicked him lightly in annoyance. “It’s all your fault.”

His mood was soft and indulgent now. “Yes, all my fault.”

“Why don’t you love Linda instead?” I pouted.

Richard shook his head like I’d offended him. “That psycho? We’ve hated each other since childhood. We only got close because we caused trouble together once.”

He looked straight into my eyes as if seeing through everything. “You thought I loved Linda all along? Our public relationship is just for family and business pressure. The company isn’t controlled by the older generation anymore. I thought you knew. Why else would you keep flirting with me all those years ago?”

I looked away guiltily.

Back then I was just being a scheming side character trying to charm him.

Richard called my name softly. “Nancy.”

“Yes?”

“Do you love me?”

My heart felt completely filled by him. “I love you.”

Truly and helplessly in love.

Even till death.

Ugh… I’m really too much of a love-struck fool.

One day later, Richard finally let me contact Daniel.

I messaged him right away.

Me: [Daniel, are you alright? How is everything?]

Daniel: [Linda treats me really well.]

Me: [Richard said she hurt you and humiliated you in all kinds of ways.]

Daniel: [No, she’s actually super gentle to me.]

Me: [Gentle how exactly?]

Daniel: [She saw the chains rubbing my wrists raw, so she wrapped soft silk scarves around them carefully.]

Daniel: [Such small sweet details make me really touched.]

Me: [………………]
