The Ten Years I Hated Him the Most

"How could you do this to me?"

Belle stood in front of the door, looking at us in shock.

"Belle!"

James pushed me away and ran down, stumbling and hugging Belle's fragile body. When he looked at me, he had a malicious and hateful look.

"It's all because of her shamelessness. She seduced me!"

"Natalya, I know you blame me."

Belle shed a few tears, pitifully explaining to me.

"During the ten years you were in jail, James was in so much pain. At first, it was because I resembled you that he couldn't control himself and ended up being with me. We truly love each other. We didn't mean to betray you."

"Belle, please don't cry."

James quickly embraced her and scolded me angrily, saying, "Belle kindly brought you back home, but you are so shameless!"

"What a malicious man."

I laughed at them in my heart, but I remembered the days we had spent together.

When we were in college, the three of us started a business together, but the company suddenly encountered a huge crisis at the beginning.

My family background was pretty good. So, James begged me earnestly to be the legal person of the company.

Perhaps love could make people lose their reason. At that time, I agreed to his request.

I thought that my father, who was the chairman, could easily get me out of jail.

On the second day after I was imprisoned, I received news that my family's industry was on the verge of bankruptcy.

My father couldn't accept the failure of his career. He jumped off the top of the headquarters building.

And my mother, who had been hit repeatedly, killed herself.

"James, I have been in prison for you for ten years. Don't you think you are heartless?"

"I didn't force you. It was your own choice!"

"Look! This is the man I have loved for over ten years."

"I'll give you 1 million dollars. Consider it as compensation from James."

Belle finally remembered to maintain her hypocritical appearance. She spoke to me with great compassion.

"100 thousand dollars a year is too cheap, I don't want these 1 million dollars. I have nowhere to go now. Please continue to take me in with great compassion."

I casually sat aside, acting as shamelessly as I could.

Belle's face changed unpredictably after she heard that.

"Although we are good friends, James is now married to me."

She held James's arm and looked at me pitifully.

She thought that I still considered James as everything in my life. Unfortunately, I had forgotten about him during the ten years of imprisonment.

"I wish he would die."
