Even when my eyes were bloodshot from the lack of rest, I didn’t dare to stop for breaks.

Like a well-trained robot, I swallowed glass after glass of hard liquor. Despite the excruciating pain of the alcohol burning in my stomach, I forced myself to remain composed.
And yet, they were casually handing over the results of my efforts to someone else.
When I saw the footage of the three of them walking away happily as if nothing happened, I felt every muscle in my body going slack. I was filled with grief and exhaustion.
And, when I saw Elaine turning back with a look of malice on her face, I knew she had planned this from the start.
Staring at the release of the liability agreement, I let out an abrupt chuckle. I looked Cameron and Ian in the eye before slowly ripping the agreement apart.
“If you win, I’ll sign this agreement. As the two of you wish, I’ll leave for good as well,” I informed them coldly.
Cameron kicked the trash can before letting out an angry snort. “Fine! So be it! We’ll play this game of yours, but you better not regret it!”
On the other hand, Ian was a little hesitant. “We never thought about wanting you to leave, Belle.”
However, I ignored him. My gaze remained cold as I said, “Once the game starts, it won’t end.”
In this game, the only thing at stake was me.
