Deception in Love: A Game of Hidden Missions novel Chapter 2

Ryan is the destined CEO and male lead of this world within the game, and my assigned mission is to help him accumulate wealth before he encounters the female lead.

When I first met Ryan, he was just a poor college student living off a scholarship.

The impact of his original family on him went beyond poverty; it also left him with a personality marked by inferiority and stubbornness.

Back then, in that tiny 10-square-meter rental room, I could already foresee that Ryan would one day become a CEO with a dark and obsessive personality.

Ryan's feelings for me emerged unexpectedly. Thereafter, he pursued me relentlessly, hoping I would become his girlfriend.

To keep the mission on track, I had no choice but to agree.

Even then, the progress of the mission wasn't always smooth.

Last month, Ryan accidentally overheard my conversation with the game system.

Fearing that my true mission of helping him succeed financially would be exposed, I lied to him, saying my assigned task was to win his heart.

After that day, his attitude towards me took a complete 180-degree turn.

He started bringing women home, insisting on displaying intimate actions right in front of me.

Saying it didn’t hurt would be a lie. After all, I’ve been with him for eight years; even a stone would have developed some feelings by now.

I let out a bitter laugh at my own foolishness, still clinging to the hope that he might change.

I turned off my phone, glanced at the food I had prepared, and started eating.

I barely took a few bites when another message from Ryan came in: "I've been drinking, can't drive. Come pick me up.”

I didn’t want to face a room full of women, but knowing that none of his friends are reliable, I worried something might happen.

From what I know, Ryan is currently working on a project with immense profit potential. Once he secures it, my mission will be complete.

I thought, Ryan is probably looking forward to me leaving too.
