Chapter 6

"Ugh..." Belen's pupils constricted immediately as a sharp pain shot across her back.

Lanny's expression remained unchanged as he raised his hand to deliver a second blow. But he suddenly paused.

He glanced at his subordinates and said, "All of you, leave."

Those guys quickly exited.

There were only Belen and Lanny in the large living room.

His heavy breath was heard. He seemed to hold back.

Belen turned rigid as she noticed his unfocused gaze.

The situation before her was too familiar.

For the past three years, she had witnessed Lanny's episodes of sex addiction countless times.

Each time, she would be there on time and become his tool of relief.

Just as she was thinking, Lanny urgently pinned her beneath him.

"Get off! Don't touch me!" Belen pushed against his chest. "What's wrong with you? Don't you have a girlfriend? I'll call Jayde to come over."

"Jayde is pure. I can't bring myself to touch her."

Lanny's heated kisses landed all over Belen's lips. "Belen..."

He kissed the familiar lips as if he had found an oasis in the desert. He deepened the kiss with increasing intensity.

"You jerk! Let go of me!" Belen summoned all her strength to push him away. She even landed a kick to his groin.

Lanny grunted in pain. He felt as though countless insects were gnawing at his nerves. He could only be relieved when Belen touched him.

Jayde had been reluctant to even kiss him recently. But Belen would let him do whatever he wanted when he was with Belen.

"Belen, stop pretending to be a pure woman. Isn't this exactly what you want?" Lanny said with disdain. "You keep targeting Jayde just to get me back with you. Now you have the chance to show what you can do. Be good now..."

Smack! Belen slapped Lanny across the face.

He grabbed her hand and deftly slipped his hand under her skirt. He tore off her underwear and quickly unfastened his belt.

Just as he was about to get in her body, the bedroom door swung open.

There stood Jayde at the door.

She was shocked as she took in the scene. Her beautiful eyes brimmed with tears.

"Not that. It's not what it looks like... Jayde, listen to me." Lanny immediately distanced himself from Belen. He paused and then glared disdainfully at Belen, who crumpled on the floor. "Belen, you've really outdone yourself this time. You dared to spike my drink. Get out!"

Belen said nothing.

Her chest tightened at his words, and her nails dug hard into her palms.

She numbly got dressed and hurried out.

Before she left, she heard Lanny's humble plea to Jayde. "Jayde, don't be mad. I'll go shower right now and make sure there's no trace of that woman's scent on me..."

A mocking smile tugged at Belen's lips.

Her heart felt like a heavy weight on her chest. She was nearly breathless.

Soon, she would leave that country.

The pain Lanny had given her would finally end.

In the following days, Belen stayed at the hospital with Ellen through treatment. She meticulously packed their belongings.

The next morning, she collected her diploma from college.

Her phone's reminder popped up. "Lanny's birthday is in five days. Prepare a gift.

Belen's gaze grew cold as she deleted everything related to Lanny from her phone.

She headed to the airport with Ellen while dragging her luggage.

In the taxi, the news was heard on the radio. "The upcoming UFC fight will be held in Bankok. We have the privilege of interviewing the star contestant, Lanny Lewis..."

The taxi arrived at the airport.

Just before boarding, Belen took out her phone to turn it off when she noticed a text from an unknown number. "Belen, I apologize for what happened before. You're allowed to stay with me, but you cannot be found by Jayde. We can be the same as how they were. I've bought you a ticket to Bankok. Meet me at the hotel tomorrow evening. You know I need to ensure my sex addiction doesn't flare up before the fight."

Belen let out a cold scoff at the message.

She removed the mobile phone card and tossed it into a trash can.

The plane began to taxi, and then it ascended through the clouds...
