Chapter 3

Staring at me coldly, he spoke bluntly without mincing words.

Melody is his wife, and also the person I love most right now. No matter what I do, if I dare to harm her in any way, he will surely cut me into a thousand pieces.

"Do you think you two look alike? Actually, I've known her for a long time, and I've liked her from the beginning."

"When I pursued you back then, it was because I saw a shadow of her in you."

"But you, as a stand-in, can never compare to the original. So I'm sorry, but I can't change my heart back to you."

Damien urged me not to dwell on what happened in the past.

Former rivals have now become new business partners, and bringing up old matters would affect his business.

"If it really bothers you that much, I can give you twenty grand."

He looked at me with contempt.

"If it weren't for my recommendation back then for you to become a designer, how could you have possibly achieved such high success?"

"Now you're just returning to your original social class."

"Don't think anyone owes you anything."

Without my consent, he had the servants prepare a nanny's room.

He made me change into a nanny's uniform.

He forced me to work in the house.

"Without my permission, no one is allowed to let you out."

"Those people know you want to reopen the case, they definitely won't let you off easily. This is for your own good."I was forced to stay at Southhill Manor for three days.

Every day, Damien brainwashed me about how useless I was.

He said if I couldn't even be a good nanny, how would I survive in society.

He made me wash Melody's socks, mop the floors, and clean the toilets.

Because of her foot injury, Melody deliberately spilled ink on the floor I had just cleaned, making me do it all over again.

I ended up covered in ink, looking ridiculous like a black person.

Damien showed no sympathy for me at all, and even praised her for having a talent for creating comedy.

"Doesn't Melody want to act in a comedy recently? She can start by finding inspiration from her."

"Once you've found enough inspiration, I'll produce a comedy film for you."

Damien actually did invest in a comedy film for her.

Because of the filming, Melody needed to be on set for a long time.

Damien also stayed with her away from home.

But he never forgot to have security keep a close eye on me.

To prevent me from causing trouble.

"Melody has finally become a top celebrity."

"We can't let a jailbird ruin her life."

"I won't allow it!"

To avoid any unforeseen issues, Gu Ye had someone drug me in the middle of the night.

And tie me up.Later, he brought over the man who had previously slept with me to rape me.

Although he and Melody weren't present, they were still remotely directing via video call.

"Remember to record the video. If she dares to harm Melody in any way..."

"I'll release the video and completely ruin her socially."

Melody mockingly eyed me as I lay drowsy on the bed.

She taunted sarcastically.

"Come to think of it, her figure's not bad, is it?"

"When she first got out of prison, she was skinny as a rail. Now she's got some meat on her bones. Looks like she could actually attract men now."

Damien lovingly kissed her.

"If you think she's gotten too healthy, I can have someone starve her back to that ugly post-prison look?"

"Even at her most alluring, she can't compare to Melody's pinky toe. She'll never measure up to you."

Melody scoffed dismissively.

"Of course I know she's no match for me. I just don't want her to have any chance to threaten us again."

"Hurry up! Don't waste time!"

At Melody's command, Damien quickly ended the video call and ordered the man to have his way with me.

The door closed. The guy's face was oily and greasy as he rubbed his hands together and licked his lips, eyeing me.

But unexpectedly, I used a remote to instantly turn off the lights in the room.
