Chapter Eight

As Pearl joined the others in raising their glasses to toast Max's celebration, she noticed Mai stepping out with an expression of anxiety and confusion. Mai's face was pale, a hint of uncertainty in her eyes, and a touch of hesitation.

"Mai, what's wrong? You look so pale," Pearl showed concern for Mai, reaching out her hand as if to touch Mai's forehead. However, Mai pulled back, gazing straight into Pearl's eyes.

Pearl was taken aback by this unexpected rejection, especially considering Mai was her close friend. Mai awkwardly chuckled and avoided Pearl's attempt to make contact. "Sorry, I'm just really tired today. Work has been overwhelming, and I've been working overtime so frequently. I haven't had enough rest, which is why I look like this."

Mai blurted out, feeling that her explanation sounded overly trivial. Yet, she couldn't understand why she want to hide anything from Pearl.

Pearl immediately empathized and reassured, "Is that so? If you're tired, you could have declined my invitation."

Hearing Pearl's words, Mai felt her eye twitch, a complex emotion surging within her, and Bella's recent words remained vividly clear. Everything became blurry in Mai's eyes, and she didn't know who was being honest anymore. Facing Pearl became an ordeal for her.

"Well, I'll head home early then," Mai said and swiftly left the party in silence. Nobody else noticed Mai's departure except Pearl. Pearl continued to immerse herself in the festivities.

As the party neared its end, everyone had consumed a lot of alcohol, becoming intoxicated and lively with each other for a prolonged period. Max was so drunk that he didn't realize he was hugging Pearl in his own house, right in front of his wife.

Bella observed them coldly from a distance before retreating into the kitchen. She had skipped dinner for the sake of this party and intended to have a small meal before going to bed, wanting to avoid any post-party drama.

While lost in her thoughts, Bella felt someone embracing her from behind, causing her to startle and jerk. Her heart raced, and she had to catch her breath.

"What are you scheming that makes you jump like that?" Levi whispered near Bella, teasing her gently.

Caught off guard and already in a bad mood, Bella swung her elbow towards the cheeky man's face, but her movement was slightly slower than his. Levi quickly caught her arm, holding it firmly and not letting go.

"Let me go!" Bella glared and growled out each word.

Levi became even more intrigued as he saw her fierce expression, as if she wanted to kill someone. The more intrigued he was, the more he couldn't easily let her go.

"Why are you acting so distant? You make me sad. Why, when you see your husband and best friend hugging outside, do you feel uncomfortable and hide in the kitchen?" Levi smirked teasingly, enjoying the fresh intensity of her ferocious expression. He wanted to see more of her unique expressions.

But Bella only felt that Levi was no different from a ruffian, somewhat twisted. He must have known she was alone in the kitchen; surely he had been observing her beforehand.

"This is my house, please behave yourself. I don't want anyone to misunderstand us." Bella couldn't retaliate against Levi. She had to lower her voice and speak politely to him.

Levi also didn't make things difficult for Bella and loosened his grip, sitting down with an air of arrogance and casualness, as if it were his own home. Bella frowned at his demeanor. She didn't expect a man who always appeared refined in front of everyone to be a troublemaker who enjoyed teasing.

"The party is over. Please leave." Bella was straightforward and didn't bother with pleasantries.

Levi looked amused, took out his phone, and played a prepared video clip in front of her. His eyes had a provocative glint as he looked at her. "Don't be so rude. I want to show you this; you'll definitely like it."

Bella narrowed her eyes but still lifted the phone to watch. The video played scenes of an intimate couple. Due to the darkness, she couldn't identify the main characters until the camera angle zoomed in on the couple.

The setting was unmistakably familiar, right in front of Bella's eyes, causing her to freeze for a moment. It was Pearl's house, the house that Bella had helped Pearl rent.

"Why...? What's going on?" Bella's voice trembled as she looked at Levi, but he just chuckled and said, "Keep watching."

And what made her regret was listening to Levi's words and continuing to watch that video segment. In the front yard of the house in the dark night, there was only the faint light of the moon and flickering street lamps. Max and Pearl were crazily making love like two inhuman beasts. Undoubtedly, Bella was watching them engage in intimacy under the night sky.

Max pinned Pearl beneath him and relentlessly thrust into her sensual and alluring body. What was even more disgusting was that they showed no fear of being seen. The sounds of moans and heavy breathing were distinct, echoing in Bella's ears.

Her hand trembled; this wasn't the first time she had witnessed them being intimate. In fact, she had caught them in the act of infidelity in Max's private workspace. However, watching the video from someone else's perspective made her feel even more shaken. Bella turned off the video and threw it to Levi.

"I had to put in a lot of effort and time to obtain such amazing footage, and yet you didn't watch it all. You really know how to make me sad," Levi shrugged playfully, looking at Bella with a mischievous grin.

Bella gave him a glare, even now, he was in the mood to jest with her. "What are you trying to do with this? I don't think you just wanted me to watch it without any intention."

"Bingo, you guessed it right. How do you feel, Bell... They are truly despicable, aren't they? One is your husband, the other is your best friend. You hate them?" Levi spoke, his words eerie and almost like a demon's whisper, causing Bella to unconsciously nod. Yes, she hated both of them; for every ounce of trust and love she had given, she now held an equal measure of resentment.

"So, you want to seek revenge on them," Levi squinted his eyes, observing Bella's expression.

"Revenge? You make it sound as if you'll help me do that," Bella raised an eyebrow mockingly. But little did she expect that Levi actually had this idea in mind for her. "Exactly, I will help you. Think about it, if you were alone, you could only watch them from afar. Besides me, there's no one else who can assist you."

Upon hearing this, Bella was taken aback, she fell into contemplation for a while. Yet, as she recalled how her husband and best friend had treated her, she clenched her fist and looked directly at Levi. "Fine, but I also know that you only want my body, not genuinely interested in helping me get revenge."

Levi was quite surprised by Bella's words. His purpose for coming here tonight was indeed just that. But he hadn't even expressed his thoughts, yet the woman before him seemed to have figured it out. Had he been so careless as to reveal his intentions?

Bella crossed her arms, her icy gaze fixed on the man in front of her.

"You want my body, I want revenge, and you can help me with that. Between us lies a mutually beneficial arrangement."

Levi stood up and approached Bella, significantly narrowing the distance between them. Bella felt uneasy, instinctively stepping back until she touched the edge of the table. With a gentle push, Levi made Bella fall onto the table. She quickly got back on her feet, only to be pinned down by this man.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Bella tried to push away the firm chest of the man, but her strength seemed to vanish. The more she resisted, the tighter he pressed.

Levi leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Didn't you just say that we would cooperate a mutually beneficial arrangement?" His voice was deep and husky, and the masculine warmth of his breath made Bella shiver and stop resisting.

"Well, I did say that... but..." Bella's voice trembled, the man's warmth spreading over her, making her body soften.

Levi chuckled softly, his hand slipping into Bella's clothing to caress her smooth, fair skin. Bella closed her eyes tightly, biting her lips to stifle any unfamiliar sounds. The man's rough and warm hand ignited a fire wherever it touched.

As his hand moved upward, Bella's body trembled even more intensely. At this moment, she understood that this man intended to establish a closer relationship between them, and she had suggested this exchange, so she couldn't resist.

Levi kissed her ear and neck while his hand continued to fondle her soft breasts.

"If that's the case, we should get started. You felt it too earlier, the things they did that aroused me. But my little brother got excited when he saw your bewildered face." Levi's mischievous tone and deliberate emphasis on his lower area pressed against Bella.

Bella blushed and felt embarrassed as she sensed his hardness beneath her. She bit her lip, trying to suppress the humiliation. Although they had been intimate before, she had been heavily intoxicated and hadn't realized what was happening. In the end, Bella was still inexperienced in this matter.

Levi's body grew hotter and he couldn't contain himself any longer. His hand quickly pulled down Bella's pants, tearing her lace underwear in the process.

Levi sucked on his fingers before thrusting them into Bella's vagina. The sensation of his fingers penetrating her caused Bella to arch her back involuntarily.

"Ummm... hmmmm... you... uh... ha... mmmm..." The force of his fingers was so intense that Bella couldn't help but moan, her face reddening. She closed her lips tightly, looking at Levi with embarrassment. Her soft moans were like a stimulating drug to him. Her arousal caused her vagina to continuously produce lubrication, wetting his fingers.

"So tight, and it's just two fingers. It's already difficult for you. I wonder if you'll bite off my fingers next time. Ha... does your vagina want to bite off my fingers?" Levi teasingly remarked, causing Bella to blush even more. She tried to close her legs in embarrassment, but Levi spread them open, not allowing her to close them.

After two fingers came three, and Bella covered her face, unsure how to face this situation. "That's enough, just do it quickly."

Levi was already at his limit, but he restrained himself despite the sweat on his forehead. Bella's words seemed like a release for him. He positioned his penis at her vaginal entrance but didn't enter yet.

"Quickly tell me that you want me to go, say something sweet, and I'll enter." Levi laughed and teased Bella, enjoying her embarrassed expression. He knew she wanted it too, which was why she urged him on.

Bella gritted her teeth, offering him a chance while he thought he was offering her one. His warm, erect penis repeatedly pressed against her vaginal entrance, arousing Bella and gradually consuming her with desire.
