Trapped In A Fake Relationship

After three months of being with each other, sharing the heat of desire in a single bed, Wylynn Snyder could still feel like she was on cloud nine up to this day. Levi Zacharias was an ideal man for Wylynn. He was not selfish and concerned about her enjoyment of the activity, which Wylynn appreciated because she liked the feeling of being cared for.

Levi's arm was wrapped around her waist, hugging her from behind as she lay on her side with her head on the pillow.

Resting, Wylynn attentively looked at his sturdy forearm in her tummy. His skin was pale, but that didn't obstruct her from knowing the strength his arms, which had wrapped around her waist many times, possessed. Down to Levi's hands, they never failed to take her breath away whenever she saw them. His hands were very manly, matched by his long fingers and well-defined knuckles. This hand that had once...

Wylynn's thoughts were interrupted when she noticed a ring on his finger. It was no ordinary ring. Even though she was not a fan of luxurious things, BVLGARI was a famous luxury brand, for she not to recognize the ring. But it was not the one that blew her mind; its type instead. It was a wedding ring! It shone under the light, looking dazzling. She couldn't deny that even she, who was not into such things, found it marvelous. But at the same time, it sobered her from being immersed in their sweet past.

With her hoarse voice, Wylynn asked, "You're getting married now?"

"Just engaged," Levi corrected, calm as usual.

As a realization dawned on her, her mood became a little subtle.

'Then, I shouldn't squeeze myself into him anymore,' Wylynn thought.

Holding her breath, she courageously said, "Since you're engaged, shouldn't it be over for us?"

Levi was still single when they started this relationship, but now that the situation had changed, Wylynn knew that their relationship, if it could be called that, should end now. She didn't want to ruin someone's relationship just because of this physical connection and worldly desires she had with Levi.

Hearing her words, Levi smiled and pecked her neck, making a shiver run down Wylynn's spine and her hand clenched the sheet tightly. With his deep voice, he asked, "Are you willing to give up?"

Not expecting his question, Wylynn's mind went blank, and her strength seemed to vanish.

Unable to think straight out of frustration and bottled-up emotions, she suddenly grabbed his hand and bit it hard, leaving a teeth mark on it.

Seemingly understanding Wylynn's impulsive behavior, Levi simply gave her a slight pinch on her chin and remarked jokingly, "You learned something bad, huh." Then he turned her around to face him and bit her lip hard.

It was then that Levi's cell phone suddenly rang. It kept ringing, but Levi simply picked it up, glanced at it, and returned it to the bedside table afterward.

Wylynn, on the other hand, assumed it was his fiancee calling him. Nonetheless, they went on with their business, but Levi left earlier than usual that night.

Alone in the room, Wylynn was lying on the bed and couldn't help but think about the wedding ring on his finger. As it occupied her mind, she kept tossing and turning on her bed. But after a long moment, she finally came up with a big decision; she blocked Levi on Facebook. Upon doing so, a thorn seemed to be pulled out of her throat, allowing her to heave a sigh of relief and sleep tight.

Levi, on the other hand, drove to Diagon Alley after leaving the hotel. On the road, his phone suddenly rang once again. It was Jad Zager, who had also called him repeatedly earlier. Levi answered the phone, and Jad immediately began reporting.

"Where are you? Yohann fought with his classmates, and he's now in the hospital. The doctor said his injuries were minor, but he kept crying in anger. As for his classmate, the kid has been taken to the police station, and I'll speak with his parents early tomorrow morning," Jad explained.

As the latter spoke, the traffic light hit the red light, so Levi took the box of cigarettes and lighter from the storage compartment and lit one skillfully with one hand while holding his phone with the other. After Jad finished speaking, Levi puffed a cloud of smoke and flatly replied, "I see. You can deal with it."

Instead of the end call tone, Levi heard Jad's voice again, this time asking, "By the way, how's your business?"

"What business?" asked Levi, not having any clue about what Jad was referring to.

"Didn't you agree to get engaged?" Jad clarified.

Levi's eyes narrowed when he heard that. Soon, the traffic light turned green, and he said solemnly, "I'm driving. I'll talk to you later."

"Huh?" Jad uttered, but Levi abruptly hung the phone up, not allowing Jad to continue speaking.

As he hit the road, his gaze was drawn to his left hand, which was holding the steering wheel. If earlier, there was only a ring on it, now, there was also a teeth mark left by Wylynn out of exasperation. Levi smiled as he touched it with his index finger, removed his wedding ring, opened the storage compartment, and tossed it in.

On the next day, Wylynn was snuggling on her bed when her phone suddenly rang, jolting her out of her dream. She picked it up and saw that it was Halle Coleman, her stepmother. Upon seeing it, she answered the call immediately and heard Halle's voice on the other end of the line. "Hello, Wy? I just received a letter from a lawyer this morning. Ean fought with his classmate yesterday, who's now in the hospital. Now, the lawyer is demanding compensation for the student's medical expenses and mental damage. I don't know what to do. His classmate's parents are rich and powerful, and they sent Ean to a police station," Halle cried anxiously.

Wylynn's heart pounded when she heard her stepmother, but she soon gradually sat up straight on her bed and asked, "Is Ean still at the police station?"

Bawling, Halle replied, "Yes. Please bring him home, Wy."

Wylynn took a deep breath to calm herself down, then said calmly, "Don't worry, give me the lawyer's phone number, and I'll handle it."

Wylynn knew Ean Jensen well, and it was not in his nature to get into trouble, so she couldn't figure out what had happened. She got out of bed, anxious, but stepped into something. When she looked down, she noticed a pure black, high-quality necktie. She was sure it was Levi's.

When Wylynn arrived at the police station, she went straight to the officer in charge and discussed some details regarding Ean's case. After a long discourse, she finally brought him out, and Ean immediately told her, "It was Yohann Zacharias who started it, Wy."

With that, everything became clear to Wylynn.

As she promised her stepmother, she took Ean out of the police station and sent him home.

Now that Ean's situation had been resolved, she turned to her phone and dialed the number Halle had sent her. After a moment of ringing, the call finally patched through, but all she could hear was noise. Even so, Wylynn took the initiative and spoke first. "Hello, is this lawyer Zager? I'm Ean's sister. I want to talk to you about the fight between the two children."

"Mr. Zacharias' luck seems to run out today. He keeps losing."

"Would you like to change into red pants?"

"Are you wearing them?"

Wylynn patiently listened to the different voices over the line, but after a long moment of waiting, she asked again, "Lawyer Zager, are you there?"

After a while, the lawyer finally replied, "Who's this?"

"I'm Ean's sister. I want to talk to you about the fight between the two children," Wylynn repeated herself. But then the man simply replied, "Oh."

Since the lawyer was finally on the other line, Wylynn turned on the loudspeaker so that she could hear his response despite his noisy background.

"Come to the Sunny Club. Let's talk here personally," the lawyer said before hanging up the phone.

Meanwhile, in the Sunny Club, Jad had just put his phone on the table after the call when Holton Barber, who was playing cards, asked, "Who are you inviting here?"

Joining them at the playing table, Jad replied, "Yohann fought with a classmate, and the kid's sister is coming."

"She has a nice voice," Holton commented, then faced Levi. "When she comes here, don't let her off the hook easily, even if she weeps and begs you. Show her that we're not someone she should mess up with."

When Levi did not respond, Jad kicked Holton's feet under the table, signaling him to stop.

Levi smoked quietly while watching the cards being shuffled. He then rolled up the sleeve of his polo with his hand holding a cigarette, and said coldly, "A little injury isn't a big deal."

Jad quickly shook his head in disagreement and refuted, "Don't say that. You didn't see how Yohann cried." He leaned back in his seat and added, "I mean, you two haven't talked in a long time. When are you going to be reconciled? He's your son, no matter what. Besides, I understand why he doesn't want you to remarry."

Jad was gazing at Levi intently, waiting for him to respond, but the latter's mouth was zipped shut as usual. Even when he was with them, Levi was so quiet that if one didn't know him, one would think he was mute. Hence, no one could guess what was on his mind.

Jad was in that state, wanting to say something, when he suddenly noticed the slightly open collar of Levi's polo.

'Is that...' Jad thought, freezing for a moment as an idea lingered in his mind.

Those wrinkles in Levi's polo hinted at only one thing. As such, he couldn't help but quibble, "You just agreed to get engaged, and you're already having sex?"
