MTL - Resurrection of Terror: My Eight Magical Skills Will Be Automatically Cultivated - Chapter 166

Ethan Blackwood wasn’t used to being defied. As the CEO of a global empire, he crushed obstacles with a single glance. But when Lily Anderson stood before him, her chin lifted in quiet defiance, and something in him snapped. “Sign the contract,” he said, his voice like ice. “30 days. You’ll obey every command. After that, you’re free.”She hesitated, her fingers trembling as she gripped the pen. “And if I refuse?”His smirk was cold, but his eyes burned. “Then you’ll spend the rest of your life paying off your father’s debts. Your choice.”Trapped, Lily signed. But she vowed one thing: she wouldn’t let him break her.From the first day, their clash was electric. He demanded perfection; she gave him rebellion. “You think you can control me?” she spat, after he criticized her for being late.Ethan stepped closer, his presence overwhelming. “I don’t just control you. Lily, I own you.”But as the days passed, the lines between them blurred. Late nights in his penthouse turned into whispered conversations. His cold demeanor cracked, revealing glimpses of a man haunted by his past. One night, after a heated argument, he pinned her against the wall, his breath hot against her ear. “Why do you fight me so much?”Her voice trembled. “Because I’m afraid if I stop, I’ll lose myself to you.”Their connection deepened, but danger loomed. Secrets from Ethan’s past resurfaced, threatening to destroy everything. When Lily discovered the truth behind his obsession with her, she confronted him. “Was I just a pawn in your game? A way to settle an old score?”His eyes darkened with pain. “You were never just a game, Lily. You’re the only thing that’s ever felt real.”As the final days of their contract approached, their bond was tested like never before. Enemies closed in, and trust hung by a thread. Could they overcome the shadows of their pasts, or would their love crumble under the weight of secrets and pride?

Your taste was really terrible back then.”“Yes, I was blind back then. After all, who hasn't stepped in something unpleasant in the past? Stop nagging, your dad is waiting for us.”When they met again, he cornered her in the hospital hallway.“Regarding that child, don't you think you owe me an explanation?”She really liked that song lyric.We have to owe each other, otherwise, what is there to look back on?We have to owe each other, we must have lingering ties.Those who enjoy this story, please add it to your collection, kisses~New story recommendation:South Town's Five Young Masters, third releaseSweet Marriage, Mr. Quan Dominates His Wife http://novel.hongxiu.com/a/1315957/ Bookmarking for collection, collection, collection underway~South Town's Five Young Masters features Quan Nan Zhao, the most domineering and decisive, who remains single at thirty-two while his heart constantly thinks of a woman.On the day South Town University South Campus was established, he saw those long-missed eyes among the faculty, and also smelled the familiar scent on her…(This story is a sweet, romantic comedy, non-reconciling story, if you like it, bookmark it first~)
