There was a high-tech device my other brothers had managed to procure to torment people. The moment someone lied, the shock would hit them hard enough to make them lose control of their bowels.

"Throwing someone to the sharks is nothing but physical labor. Since you want some fun, why don't we play with something that can even reach into one's soul?" I said. "Let's use that."

Tiger burst out laughing and clapped his hands. "Interesting! You're so brutal! I like it! Strap her into the machine! Now, who's going to ask the question?"

Winnie jumped up at once. "Me! Me! I know her best, Captain Levin! I promise I'll make it exciting!"

Meanwhile, Hank let out a sigh of relief. "At least you know what's good for you. Don't worry. It's only a few questions. Just hang in there and it'll be over before you know it."

I shook off his hand in disgust and walked up to the chair. Then the staff placed the electrodes to my temples and my heart rate appeared on the big screen.

Winnie took the microphone and cleared her throat. "Hello, everyone! Please allow me to show you the exciting game aboard this cruise ship this evening! I'm currently at the famous club located on the top deck of the Leviathan, now sailing in the open seas! Take a good look, ladies and gentlemen! The one brave enough to ask for this electric shock version of 'Truth or Dare' is one of the ship's cleaners!"

She had even started a livestream!

Tens of thousands of viewers immediately flooded in for the drama.

[No way! This place is insane! I heard entry to the Leviathan's club costs a fortune. The ticket is worth seven digits, I think? As expected of a socialite of her level to be able to go into a club like that.]

[Wait. That woman in gray looks so familiar... Isn't that the broke ex-girlfriend who tried to steal Winnie's spotlight in her last stream?]

[That's right! It's her! Why did Hank bring her aboard? That cheap uniform ruined the whole cruise's class!]

[This is so funny! That woman will do anything for money? She wants money more than her life! Electric shock truth or dare? She has a death wish!]

[She deserves to get shocked to death! She's the one who kept bothering Hank and going after Winnie! Winnie is Hank's one true love!]

Winnie glanced at the bullet comments on the screen and smiled smugly. "First question! Lilibeth, have you ever killed someone for money?!"

The entire deck went silent.

Hank's expression shifted and yelled, "Winnie, what kind of question is that? She's just a cleaner! How could she have killed anyone?!"

Winnie ignored him and stared right into my eyes, and I met her gaze with an unreadable expression.

In my mind, I saw the armed thugs who tried to hijack my cargo ship and lay their hands on my female crew. I swung my blade and took their heads. Those images were still fresh in my mind.

"Yes," I answered calmly.

The heart rate line on the big screen flickered and the result appeared.

Truth.

Everyone on the deck went wild!

The livestream was immediately blowing up with comments.

I signed a prenuptial agreement with a cold-blooded Wall Street predator just to unlock my trust fund and fight my greedy stepmother. We were nothing more than legal roommates bound by a strict three-year contract. But to survive the corporate war at my family's company, I skipped my mandatory university finance class and paid a guy to answer the roll call for me. The stand-in was immediately caught and kicked out by the notoriously ruthless new professor. That night at dinner, I complained to my contract husband about the professor. "He's an unreasonable, arrogant dictator who gets off on torturing his students," I complained bitterly. My husband just calmly cut my steak and listened as I bragged about how I was going to fake-cry and manipulate the professor the next morning. I even rushed to the faculty office the next day and performed a desperate, tearful apology to an elderly man I assumed was the tyrant. I thought I had perfectly balanced my corporate war and my academic life. I thought I had fooled everyone. But when I confidently sat in the front row of the massive lecture hall, the heavy wooden doors pushed open. The terrifying new professor walked onto the podium and aggressively wrote his name on the chalkboard: Elliot Dillard. It was my contract husband. He looked down at me with cold, merciless authority, knowing every single lie I had told, and slowly called my name.

Revenge Wedding: I Choose The Reaper

8.1

On my wedding day, the wedding planner looked at me with pity in her eyes. She told me the groom had called with a last-minute request. He wanted the name on the floral arch changed from "Elena" to "Sofia." Five years of loyalty to Dante Romero, and I found out he was planning a "secret" ceremony with his mistress an hour before ours. He claimed she was dying of cancer. He said it was her final wish to be a bride, and that as a good mafia wife, I should understand. He swore it was just charity. But I had seen the texts where he called me "furniture." I had watched him step over my body when I fell down the stairs at a club, just so he could leave with her. And this morning, I watched Sofia walk into the hotel lobby wearing *my* custom French lace wedding dress, smirking as she clung to his arm. Dante thinks I'm crying in the bridal suite. He thinks I will sit in the front row of his "fake" wedding and wait for my turn like a dutiful puppet. He is wrong. I wiped my tears and picked up my phone. I didn't cancel the wedding date. I just changed the location to the ballroom next door. And I changed the groom. As Dante says his vows to his mistress, I am walking down the aisle to meet the only man the Romero family fears. The Reaper.
