Cunning Sweetie: Love Is Poison

"How dare you, Sophie Su!"

The man's shout was harsh and exploded over the girl's head. His voice sounded hoarse, low and sharp at the same time.

His shirt was partly unbuttoned, revealing his delicate collarbone and strong chest. His skin was slightly crimson in color.

Before he could get close to her, the girl felt a surging heat coming from his direction.

It was the tempting scent of passion and romance. The scent was the same as hers.

"Wait, wait. Listen..."

Sally Su was having a hard time explaining. The man grabbed her wrist. The smell of her warm sweat was tempting him.

The man felt a moment of blankness in his mind. Then, he raised his hand.

The sheet covering Sally Su's body fell on the ground.

"Fuck off! Stay away from me!" Sally Su screamed loudly and pushed the man away.

"Is this the way to treat a man who just wants to care for you? Is this what your family has taught you, huh?"

"You're crazy!"

Sally Su quickly turned around and ran away even though she was barefoot. But, the man pulled her back to him. His palm felt scorching hot on her waist.

The man pressed Sally Su against the wall, grabbed her thin wrist, and slammed it above her head against the wall.

The man's sheer power made Sally Su's legs tremble in fear. She shrank backward. As she leaned against the cold wall, Sally Su felt herself struggling to move.

"No..."

"No?! We haven't been able to stay in the same room for a year. Isn't this what you want?"

What was the man talking about?

'Sophie didn't sleep with her husband, even after she got married for a year!' Sally Su thought.

It was rumored that the two of them had no feelings for each other. And now, it turned out to be completely true!

A starry ceiling, a delicate and bright crystal lamp, and a huge crystal frame on the wall were all above her head. The frame held a photo showing a quiet and harmonious couple.

The current scene felt...like a dream. Was it a dream?

"Wait..."

"Sophie Su, how dare you!"

As she heard his cold and harsh voice ringing in her ear, Sally's mind went blank and she inevitably fell onto the carpet.

The man's dark eyes hid the anger in them as he glared at her fiercely.

His look made Sally extremely frightened. She glanced at the huge wedding photo beside the bed. It was dazzling.

Pitpat...

Her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out of her throat. Sally bit her lower lip as she rushed towards the bathroom. Once inside, her fingers fumbled around to lock the door.

"Open the door!"

Sally held her breath when she heard the stern order coming from the other side of the door.

Even though the man wasn't forcibly opening the door, Sally was still in a nervous state.

The man was considered to be one of the most handsome men on the global list. He was held at a supreme position and easily the most powerful man in the city.

If he wished it, he could easily kill her like a helpless ant.

Sally thought it would be easy to pretend to be her twin sister Sophie Su, the young lady in the villa of the Beigong Family, for a few days. After all, her sister told her that she and her husband were complete strangers.

According to Sophie Su's plan, everything would be find if Sally hid in the room and stayed there. But she didn't expect that...

She would sleep with her sister's husband! How unlucky since it was only the first night that she had to pretend to be her sister!

She no longer knew where to hide from him. If he knew that she was only pretending to be the young lady of the Beigong Family, the consequences would be... Unfathomable to contemplate!

"You'd better come up with a perfect reason to explain everything that had happened yesterday."

Sally bit her lower lip, trying to make as little sound as possible.

'Reason?' Sally thought. What kind of explanation was he looking for?

Everything that happened last night was true. She was set up to spend a hot night with her brother-in-law.

After some time, nothing could be heard from outside. Sally put her guard down for a while. The adrenaline subsided, and she lost all her strength and collapsed.

Large teardrops rolled down towards the broken white dress she was holding in her hands.

Her heart seemed to have been hollowed out. The cold wind was piercing right through her chest and left only boundless despair.

'Oh, Sophie...

What should I do?' Sally thought to herself.

She still didn't dare to cry out loud or make any sound at all.

Covering her mouth, Sally cried silently for a long time until her eyes turned red. After some time, it was still and quiet outside, and so she slowly stood up.

As Sally carefully opened the bathroom door, she looked around and found no one there.

Sally anxiously took out her phone from her pocket and dialed with her trembling fingers.

Beep--

'Sophie, answer the phone! Please, answer!' Sally thought as she was panicking.

Beep--

"Sorry, the subscriber you dialed cannot be connected for the time being..."

What was going on?

As she put her phone back in her pocket, Sally felt disappointed that she couldn't reach her sister.

Why didn't Sophie answer the phone? Was there anything wrong?

As she raised her head, Sally happened to glance by the wedding photo that pictured the woman who looked exactly like her. It was difficult to look at, and so she hurriedly took her clothes and scurried to the bathroom.

Her face looked pale as the water trickled down her head. Again and again, she washed every inch of her body until it felt sore.

It seemed that only by doing so could she clear her relationship with him.

This was the path that she had to choose. She had to be prepared to lose her virginity.

Sally stayed in the shower for a long time until a servant's voice finally called from the door.

"Mrs. Sophie, Madam wants to have breakfast with you."

Shocked, she suddenly remembered something important she had to do.

'Ah, of course! How can I forget!' she scolded herself.

"Okay. I'll be right out!"

The servant smiled as she saw a red spot on the bed. She quickly put away the bed sheet and was about to report the good news to the old lady.

"Mrs. Sophie, you must be tired from last night. You should rest. I'll tell the old lady that you can't go out now. You can have whatever you want to eat in the kitchen."

What?!

What the hell was going on?!

"No, thanks. I'll be ready in a minute!" Sally shouted.

No one answered back to her. She sighed and continued washing her body.

The Beigong Family's villa was the only wedding house for the couple. The parents of the Beigong Family didn't live here.

Sally sighed again, this time because of relief. After making sure that no one was following her, she rushed to the backyard so she could leave from the back door.

She had done something out of line and she knew she couldn't stay any longer.

Her heart was beating so fast when she looked at the door in front of her. Even though Sally promised Sophie that she would exchange identity with her before she came back, it was a pity that she couldn't wait any longer.

Pressing her chest tightly, Sally moved towards the door.

However, her face changed when she realized it was empty around the collar. She touched all over her collarbone in disbelief.

There was nothing.

Sally's eyes widened. She lowered her head and opened her collar. She looked below and saw nothing but hickeys!

How could the necklace be lost?!

She must have left it in the room last night.

That necklace was the only evidence that she could find the person back. Losing it would be tragic!

But if she went back again, she might run into her brother-in-law, Harold Beigong. The necklace was in his room after all.

Alas!

Sally stomped her feet and immediately turned around. She had to find the necklace before Harold Beigong could see her.

When she slipped into his room, the bed sheet had already been removed. Perhaps the servants thought she was there, so they didn't have time to clean the room.

The surroundings were strangely quiet.

There was a feeling that everything seemed to have never happened last night, except for the slight smell of flirtation in the air.

But the pain she felt in between her legs and the soreness weighing down her waist reminded her that everything that happened the previous night was real.

Sally bit her lower lip and felt extremely sad that she almost burst into tears.

No way!

It wasn't the right time to sulk about it. Finding the necklace was more important. Inch by inch, Sally lay on the ground and crawled all over so that she could find the necklace.

The wedding photos of her sister and Harold Beigong were on the dresser.

The man looked so cold even in his wedding photos. Maybe it was because he was the ruler of this city.

As Sally was looking for her necklace under the dressing table, she raised her head and happened to meet eyes with the man in the photo. Even though it was just a piece of paper, she still felt chills run down her spine.

She almost fainted when she was reminded of what happened last night. Her heart was aching.

She forced herself to calm down and pinched her fingertips in order to continue the search for her necklace.

"Sophie Su, you've learned a lot about seductive postures."

Sally was shocked.

The man just like came out of nowhere.

"I have not..." Sally turned around and explained, even though she was having a hard time letting go of the words from her mouth.

At that moment, she was on her knees with her back to Harold. Her dress was tightly wrapping her charming curve, her waist was within a grip's distance, and her long hair was falling on the ground.

It would be strange if Harold didn't submit to such a tempting posture.

Harold's throat began to tighten. His eyes deepened and his body had become tense.

Even though it was already more than a year into their marriage, Harold had only begun to have strange feelings towards her right now.

Sally quickly stood up to explain herself.

"No, it's not like that."

"You impress me, Sophie."

Turning his head away, Harold fixed his eyes on the neat and clean bed sheet.

Harold clenched his fists. 'This damn woman tried to drug me yesterday.'

"It's not me..."

"It's not you?! Are you meaning to tell me that the one under me last night wasn't you?"

The events that took place last night played over her mind repeatedly. Harold's handsome face was full of anger as he stared at the helpless Sally.

"You are really good at pretending!"

However, the more he looked at her clear eyes, the more he thought about how delicate she was last night. Any man would feel pity for her. Anxiety and anger were mixed in his heart, tearing apart his reasoning.

"Where's your pride and self-esteem, Sophie?"

Hard to tell it was out of anger or desire, Harold grabbed her wrist tightly and glared straight into her.

Even if they were married without any emotional foundation, Sophie indifferently and gracefully agreed to his rule that they would never be sleeping in the same room after the wedding.

Nothing had happened in the past year.

Sophie kept her pride. Every time the old lady persuaded her to have a child, she always changed the topic.

"We don't have any feelings for each other. We have already lost a lot of our freedom because of this marriage. Why do we have to ruin our dignity?"

Sophie said around a year ago.

But a year later, she drugged him and shamelessly climbed into his bed!

Sally stared blankly straight into Harold's eyes.

His eyes, however, seemed to be a bloody storm. The deep darkness in his eyes made her feel cold all over.

"I don't know..." Sally was extremely frightened with the expression in his eyes. She was muttering in fear, and her eyes looked dull.

She didn't know why last night would end up like that.

When she arrived yesterday and had dinner with the old lady, she felt a little dizzy for no reason. But when she woke up, she found herself on the bed with Harold.

All of a sudden, Harold lost control. His sexual desire was strong and Sally couldn't do anything.

Harold lowered his head and focused on the change of expressions Sally had on her face. She looked confused, shocked, and scared, making him smile with a sense of disgust.

"Sophie, is the Su Family so impotent that they need to use your body?"

Was the Su Family on a downhill path?

Sally's eyes lit up. A smile slowly appeared on her face at that thought.

If the Su Family really went downhill again...

Well, what a great thing! Sally had always dreamed about the downfall of the Su Family.

A hint of doubt flashed in Harold's eyes. Why was this woman smiling?

Didn't she do it all for the Su Family?

When he saw Sally's pink face, however, his eyes widened for a moment.

Her long eyelashes were like a butterfly's flapping wings, and her clear and bright eyes looked beautiful with her smile. Sunlight was cast from the half-covered curtain, and the light in her eyes was like a pure spirit from a forest.

Harold's heart skipped a beat.

He had never seen his wife for more than a year like this before.

Her lips were like almond blossoms in spring as they trembled slightly. As Harold thought of the fragrance from her last night, he got even more anxious.

He shook his hand and coldly said,

"Get out!"

"What?" Sally asked as she staggered to her feet. Did he just ask her to go out?

"Don't you want to get out? Or do you want to do it with me again?"

"No, no, no. I'm leaving."

Sally didn't dare to look for the necklace anymore and ran out without looking back.

As soon as she reached the stairway, she bumped into a soft wall.

"Hmm..." Sally covered her forehead and looked up. Above her head were breasts that were 36E in size.

Wendy Bai?

Sally suddenly remembered what her sister had told her before she left. Among them were about a woman named Wendy Bai, who had 36E breasts. That woman happened to follow Harold around most of the time.

"Oh, isn't this the young lady of the Beigong Family? The one who's gentle and wise?"

"Hello, Miss Wendy." Sally greeted, lowering her eyes.

"Don't be so rash. It's the first time that my breasts were bumped into by such an elegant and courteous lady. You know what? You can't hit my breasts just because yours isn't this size,"

Wendy Bai said with a straight face, staring at Sally.

Sally kept her head low and remained silent.

"What's wrong with you? And you still haven't had a baby even though you're already married for more than a year? Are you infertile?"

Sally pursed her lips. She was supposed to act like the dignified lady of the Su Family, as her sister ordered. But when Wendy Bai belittled her sister, she failed to hold back anger.

"Miss Wendy, you seem so worried. I don't know if your breasts are broken or not. You'd better worry about them before the gas in it seeps out."

"What do you mean?" Upon hearing what Sally had just said, Wendy Bai's face changed. She furiously glared at Sally.

"Sorry, I was wrong,"

Sally apologized immediately. Seeing the complacent look on Wendy's face, she added, "Oh, it's not gas leaking out of it. Just the silica gel."

After she said her piece, Sally immediately turned around and left. When Wendy Bai came to her realization, she pointed at Sally's back and got exasperated.

"You bitch! How dare you say something like that to me! These breasts are natural! Bitch!"

Sally didn't look back. She just went on without entertaining Wendy's verbal attacks.

As Wendy watched Sally walk away, she tidied up her clothes, pulled her collar, and walked into the room.

"Harold!"

Wendy spoke sweetly, clinging onto him. Her soft and tall breasts pressed against his arm.

"Miss Wendy," Harold said in a distant tone. He walked aside.

Again!

Harold was still acting indifferent towards her, which made Wendy purse her lips with dissatisfaction.

She unintentionally said, "Mrs. Sophie was a bit unusual today. She's always calm. But today, she talked back to me!"

She was not only unusual, but she also dared to drug Harold and join him in bed!

Anger slowly filled his eyes. He turned around and left the room, leaving Wendy stunned.

"Harold!"

Wendy hurriedly ran towards him. But when she saw that Harold was determined, she just lowered her head and sighed. Even if he didn't touch Sophie after marriage, he didn't care about Wendy.

'What?

Is there something shining on the ground?'

After taking a closer look, Wendy found a silver necklace from the gap between the carpet and the table.

She thought that it could be something precious, but it turned out to be just an ordinary necklace.

Wendy rolled her eyes and was about to throw the necklace away. But when she raised her hand, she suddenly stopped.

'What kind of person is Harold? He's the ruler of the whole city. It's a legend that thousands of girls want to catch up with, but they don't deserve it. Isn't it strange that an ordinary necklace shows up in his room?'

With this thought, Wendy put the necklace away in her LV handbag.

Sally went all the way to the servants' lounge.

"Mrs. Sophie."

The servants inside immediately stood straight and respectfully looked at her. Sally nodded. She didn't want to look at these people.

"Did you happen to find a necklace when cleaning Mr. Harold's room?"

"Necklace?"

The servants looked at each other and shook their heads.

"No," they answered.

"Did Mrs. Sophie lose that? Let's go and find it."

"No. No," Sally refused.

'Are you kidding me? I only came here to inquire about it. If somebody knew about that, it would be dangerous. And they even want to help me find the necklace. If I made a big noise, things would get dicey for me!'

"It's not worth it. Just let it go."

Sally quickly ran to her sister's room.

For the whole afternoon, Sally hid in her sister's room and didn't dare to go out. She was curled up in bed, staring blankly at the walls.

Over the past year, Sophie and Harold had been sleeping in separate rooms. The room even had no trace of Harold's smell.

At this moment, Sally smelled her sister's scent, making her feel much more relieved. After being tortured last night, she felt really comfortable now and was able to doze off really soon.

While sleeping, she had a dream. In it, Harold's face was still in a mess in bed. He looked aggressive as he occupied her body.

"Ah!"

Sally woke up from her nightmare.

It was already a little dark when she looked outside the window. A breeze blew, and the dusk and tree shadows filled the empty bedroom with a gloomy and uneasy atmosphere.

Feeling a little depressed, Sally's heart beat really fast. She quickly grabbed the phone under the pillow and saw that there was still no news from her sister.

What happened to Sophie? According to their plan, they should have switched back their identities this evening.

Since her sister hadn't come back yet, she had no choice but to stay in Sophie's room. Fortunately, although Harold was really angry, he didn't continue to harass her.

But the necklace must still be in his room.

She knew she had to find the necklace!

So Sally walked out of the room and casually asked a servant passing by.

"Is Mr. Harold in his room?"

The servant was stunned and looked at Sally in surprise. Mrs. Sophie never asked about Mr. Harold since they got married. Why was she asking now?

"What's wrong?" Sally asked, frowning.

"It doesn't matter, Mrs. Sophie. Mr. Harold went out this afternoon and hasn't come back yet."

Sally nodded and immediately walked towards Harold's room.

Seeing that the young lady turned back to her arrogant and cold state as usual, the servant was a little shocked and then turned around and left.
