First Love Stand-in Married A Two-faced Husband

The kidnapper was completely stunned.

In that fleeting moment of distraction, he was sent flying!

The Flying Tigers descended from the sky, swiftly kicking him down and successfully capturing him.

I was left standing there, utterly shocked!

Next thing I knew, a group of people surrounded us.

"You're quite brave and resourceful, young lady. Your coordination with your boyfriend was spot on. If it weren't for your words distracting him, we probably wouldn't have taken him down so smoothly," the team leader said, gazing at me with admiration.

I lowered my head in guilt.

The captain, thinking I was just shy, said no more.

Afterwards, Carol and I went our separate ways.

She went to find her mother.

As for me, I was dragged away by Richard.

He had a dark expression the entire way, like a walking icebox.

I shrank into a corner, trembling.

"Um..." I mustered the courage to speak.

But his icy glare immediately shut me up.

When the car pulled up to the villa, he grabbed me and marched inside.

My legs, already short, stumbled as I struggled to keep up with his pace, half-running to avoid being dragged.

And judging by his furious look, if I followed him inside, there was a good chance he'd kill me tonight!

I finally managed to pull my hand free.

"Richard, we're over!" I declared loudly.

He stopped in his tracks. Without a word, he turned and stared at me.

At first, I had the courage to meet his gaze, but in less than a minute, I crumbled.

"I don’t remember us breaking up," he said through gritted teeth.

I didn't dare respond. And then he said something that scared the life out of me. "Miss White, you pulled up your pants and walked away. Don't you think you owe me something?"

Excuse me?

"Don’t talk nonsense!" I shot up in shock, covering his mouth and glancing around nervously.

Thank goodness, no one was around!

If someone had overheard, I'd have had to leave Earth that very night!

Richard pried my hand away and pinned me against the wall, not forgetting to squeeze my waist.

"It's not about that. Is it that I wasn't good enough last night, so you're out for revenge?"

My face instantly turned crimson!

"Shut up! One more word and I'll sue you for slander!" How could Richard say something so embarrassing out loud?

Flustered, I suddenly remembered the black card I received today and quickly straightened up, saying sternly, "I'm a person with principles. Since I've accepted money from Mrs. Yukio, I'll definitely get the job done!"

Richard's expression grew more and more strange.

A bad feeling crept into my mind...

"Son, I gave your wife a card earlier as a meeting gift, but she took it, said a lot of strange things, and ran off. I couldn't catch up with her."

As soon as the voice message on his phone ended, an awkward silence filled the air.

Richard calmly pocketed his phone and pinched my cheek. "Miss Nina, you shouldn't take money without doing your part, you know that, right?"

I was dumbfounded! How did things turn out like this?

"Um..." I tried to speak, my voice weak. "Here's the card back. Can we still break up?"

But before he could answer, Richard's stomach growled.

I had witnessed the most embarrassing moment in a CEO's life. No more questions needed, I ran upstairs immediately!

"I'm going to take a shower. I'll make something for you to eat later!" I shouted as I dashed away, trying to save his dignity.

I leaned against the door, gasping for air. I'd done too much to protect the CEO's perfect image.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead and went to the closet for clothes.

As soon as I opened it, I was shocked—it was completely empty!

Seriously? All I did was throw a dress in a fit of passion yesterday.

Why was everything gone?

That sly Richard—he may have said we weren't breaking up, but he'd already cleared out all my stuff!

Ugh, men!

I looked around and finally found a school uniform, probably overlooked when packing up.

My luggage was still at the police station as evidence, and I wouldn't get it back until tomorrow. My current clothes were too dirty to sleep in, so I had no choice but to wear this uniform.

When I went downstairs, I found Richard already cooked, as he came out of the kitchen.

When he saw me, he was visibly taken aback, even dropping his silver forks with a loud clatter.

"What's wrong?" I scratched my head, suddenly remembering Richard's history with Carol. Didn't they have a thing back in high school?

And here I was, wearing the very school uniform that probably stirred up all kinds of nostalgic feelings.

But whose fault was that? His own, of course!

Clearing out the wardrobe and bringing me back—was he expecting me to praise him for being so thorough?

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got!

No way! If I'm upset, I won't let Richard off easily either!

"What's the matter? Never seen an 18-year-old, youthful beauty before?" I taunted.

"Um." He replied, which only fueled my anger.

"You planned this, didn't you? You've been plotting all along!" I growled through gritted teeth.

The wardrobe had been full of clothes before. I didn't know if this uniform had been in there, but after he cleared it out, it was the only thing left.

What did that mean?

The more a man can't have something, the more he wants it. He didn't get to be with Carol in high school, so he found a substitute, dressed her in the old uniform, and acted out his unfulfilled desires!

I couldn't think like this! The more I thought, the dirtier his image became in my mind!

But based on my years of reading experience, I had a feeling I'd uncovered the truth!

Richard lowered his head, deep in thought. After a moment, he gave another "Emm."

It was confirmed!

"You pervert!" I muttered under my breath, unable to stop myself.

It's over! It seemed to trigger him!

He started walking toward me!

"Say one more word and I'll show you what a real pervert is," he said, licking his back teeth like a dangerous predator.

My face turned bright red!

I pushed him away and yelled, "You beast!"

"Beast!" came a loud, authoritative voice, making me jump and instinctively dive into Richard's arms!

When I looked back, I saw Mrs. Yukio from earlier in the morning, standing beside a middle-aged man who bore a striking resemblance to Richard.

The man's face was filled with fury as he glared at Richard, clearly disappointed.

"Richard, how could you do something like this?" The older man's voice was filled with disappointment as he pointed a finger at his son.

"What did I do?"

"You! How dare you ask?" The older man's gaze flicked between Richard and me, struggling to find the words. "No wonder you didn't bring your girlfriend home last year... because..."

The older man couldn't finish, giving me a look that said it all.
