Eight Years Lost A Love Unclaimed (Ariella) novel Chapter 79

BOOK8 Chapter2

Despite Michael’s obsessive control and our forced marriage, I kept my distance and refused any physical closeness.

Perhaps out of spite or to fill a void, he started seeking out women who resembled

1. me.

Eventually, he found a model who looked about 80% like me.

Michael flaunted her publicly and taunted me with intimate photos and videos of their time together.

One day, the woman, with several bodyguards in tow, boldly entered Michael’s villa, his private domain.

Mistaking me for a plastic surgery look–alike, she came to confront me.

“How dare you mimic my appearance to steal my man? I’ll handle this!” she said.

One of the bodyguards hesitated: “Amelia, this is Mr. Jackson’s private property. Is it wise to barge in like this?”

Amelia dismissed him with a sneer: “Michael adores me. Even if I wreck this place, he wouldn’t dare complain.”

As the villa doors opened, I was about to step out and ask them to leave when I saw the woman’s furious face.

“Are you just a cheap imitation hiding in Michael’s villa, trying to steal my man?” Without waiting for a response, Amelia slapped me hard across the face.

I staggered back, clutching my cheek in shack: “I’m not…”

“Don’t lie! Do you think I don’t know?”

“Michael never lets anyone near here. You must have used some trick to get in!”

She cut me off, signaling her bodyguards to move in.

“Bind her!” Amelia ordered sharply.

The bodyguards quickly surrounded me.

My heart raced with fear.

Given Michael’s volatility, I dreaded the consequences if they harmed me.

“Please don’t do this. Michael will be furious…” I pleaded, trembling.
