Trapped in a Game: My Secret Deal to Break Free

Chapter 1

1,136 words

After successfully winning over Ethan Clarke, I could have left, but I chose to stay in this world because I loved him.

After staying, I happily proposed marriage to him ninety-nine times.

But he always had excuses to put it off:

"I'm not in a good mood, maybe next time."

"I want to focus on my career for a few more years, let's talk about it later."

When I couldn't wait any longer and went to ask him for a definite answer, I overheard him arrogantly telling his female secretary outside his office:

"She can't go back to her original world anyway, so why bother getting married? Once I've had my fun, I'll go back and sweet-talk her, and she'll eagerly ask the system to hand everything over to me again."

Late at night, lying in our empty king-sized bed, I gritted my teeth as I typed out message after message.

[Ethan, Olivia loves you so much.]

[Ethan, she can't live without you, don't worry.]

I knew Ethan felt so secure because he could see these messages.

But what he didn't know was that I had already made a new deal with the system to leave.

The moment he let me down for the hundredth time would be when I left.
