Redo of a Romanceless Author’s Life Devoid of Love; Another Chance at Youth Chapter 169

Chapter 169. An Unexpected Visitor at the Museum. (3/3)

When I confird she was gone I let out a sigh of relief. I waited an hour to make sure she wouldn’t co back before I did anything. I was focused on peeking behind to make sure she wasn’t still hiding around anywhere.

I retrieved my phone from my bag at the side and stopped the recording.

I trimd out the excess hour before I quickly uploaded the video to one of my online drives with a dummy account just to be safe. Once the upload finished, I logged out of the account ensuring no trace of the account was left behind. This was my insurance should it ever be needed. I’d be sure to make more copies in the future for my own safety.

However, only a few short minutes after I did that and finally cald down did my attention divert from behind . I noticed sothing small on the ground. It was... a pen beside where we’d fallen just now.

Shit, I cursed in my heart.

I turned around and saw a woman walking back inside. The exact woman who’d left an hour ago.

It had a hidden cara in it. She’d been keeping an eye on the entire ti to see if I’d make any suspicious actions. The pen had been a similar color to the carpet and I hadn’t noticed it at all with how focused I was behind .

“What do you want now?”

“You. What did you just do on your phone?”

“Aren’t you too damn cautious to leave a pen with a hidden cara inside?”

“I couldn’t possibly believe the man I’m so terrified of would truly be so careless. There’s no way he wouldn’t do sothing.”

“I didn’t do anything. I was just-”

“Cut the bullshit or I’ll throw all caution to the window and leak the pictures I just took. I can’t underestimate you or let my guard down at all.”

“Haaaah.”

I let out a helpless sigh, held my phone up to her, and played the video from the beginning.

“A video? It was disguised by your bag? No, I also didn’t notice it because of the angle I was at as well. You basically just copied .”

“You copied . I did it first.” I couldn’t help but retort.

“Whatever, delete it.” She demanded.

“Even if I delete it you’re still going to forcefully take my phone away, destroy it, and burn it. Look, I already uploaded it sowhere safe. Deleting the video and destroying my phone will do nothing.”

“You’re really the worst.”

“You would have expected that anyway, wouldn’t you? As long as it existed for a mont, you’d always have that suspicion anyway. I’d rather not have my phone destroyed for no reason.”

“Yes, I definitely would have destroyed your phone even if you deleted it. As for it being uploaded it would always worry .”

“Even if you didn’t know about this video, you’d still be worried I had so counterasures. As such, you’d start having people constantly eying . I’d be under their surveillance at all tis. The three won I ntioned, you would find them. Even if I never told you about them, they would have been discovered eventually.”

“As such, I needed my own insurance should you try to make a move against them. They are won I love dearly… and if you touch any of them… I will stop at nothing to end your worthless little existence. My peaceful life? I won’t give a damn at that point. I’ll do everything to destroy the pathetic successful career you’re so proud of and drive you into the ground.”

I was 100% serious.

She took a step back when she saw the look in my eyes.

“Over three won, you’d go that far?”

“Yes.”

“If I make a move against you though?”

“I’ll naturally retaliate, but I won’t particularly care nearly as much. There are so things you just don’t touch though, and they’re that. Oh, but feel free to go after them if you really want, I won’t stop you. I’ll just ensure you will never walk the earth again. Also, even if you went after them… you might just end up dead on your own without needing to do a thing.”

Rosa and her parents, were they pushovers? Absolutely not. Of all things, they were bloody assassins.

If this woman targeted Irene or Alicia, Rosa would murder this woman at all costs even if I didn’t say a word.

My warning here was more for this idiotic woman’s sake than anything.

“I have my fans. You aren’t scared of them?”

“Oh, I might be scared of their wrath. But that doesn’t change the fact that you’ll really die. Just like you’re willing to drag to my grave, you should be prepared to be dragged into your own grave, Ms. Angel of Death.”

She clenched her teeth and shot the nastiest glare.

“If it’s co to this… then I really only have one last card I can make use of.”

“You actually still have sothing else?” What the hell? Did I overlook anything? I was pretty sure I had all my bases covered to keep this mad dog reigned in.

“Yes. I didn’t want to do this… but for a used woman like , maybe this is the only option I have.”

She grabbed my collar and pulled to my feet until we were at eye level.

She spat out angrily, “Be my boyfriend, fall in love with , and beco my loyal dog. The only way I can feel any sort of reassurance that my secret will not get out is if I can make that happen.”

When she suddenly said that, my brain stopped working.

What? No, seriously, what? What did this dumbass just say?

Be her boyfriend, fall in love with her, and beco her loyal dog?

“Hah! Are you an idiot? If you can’t beat them, join them? Can you not at least co up with a better tactic? Are you just brain dead?”

“I’m not your match. I can’t win. It feels like no matter what I do, I’ll always be afraid. The only thing that would make feel safe is if I don’t have you as an enemy, but as a lover instead. If I have to put my body on the line to protect my career, I’ll do it.”

“Nobody wants your body. You can keep it. I’ve already got my hands full. There’s no way I’m adding another woman to the list.”

“You don’t have a choice. If you don’t accept, I'm just going to self-destruct and cause as much trouble for you as I can. If you want your peace, the only path that will lead to that is if you beco my boyfriend.”

“I have three! Do you not get that? You’re going to be the fourth. You’re fine with that?”

“If it’s to protect my career and image.”

“Your image will be ruined just by being close to .”

“No, people will think I’m taking pity on you and will even think I’m such a good person. Like I’m doing a form of charity work. They’d only think poorly of you. They won’t know we’re boyfriend and girlfriend. They’ll just think I befriended so loner who goes to the sa university as .”

“Sa… university… as you?”

“Yes. I’ve already announced to my fans online that I’ll be attending a university and taking intermittent breaks from my career. I’ll still be working on music, but I won’t be moving around on tours the way I have in the past. I plan to settle down here for so ti, work, and study.”

“After I t you, I understood just how much I was lacking. I plan to major in computer science here. I realize my status as an ignorant celebrity will only take so far in life. One day, I’ll be overshadowed by upcoming stars. At that ti, what will I have left? Only my past achievents, no future to strive toward.”

“The future is technology. You’ve shown how powerful a weapon technology is. I will get a proper education so I can make use of that weapon in the future. This way, I won’t be put into this sort of situation ever again. My ignorance was why I couldn’t see through the fatal flaws in my exes’ plan to blackmail . It was also his own downfall. I won’t go down the sa way he did just because I was ignorant.”

Haaah. An already extrely troubleso woman wants to beco even more troubleso. Do my troubles never end?

Little did she know, I was still in high school and had no plans to attend university. I wouldn’t reveal that fact to her though. Haaaaaah, I’d have to explain this ssy situation to the others.

“How does it feel to be a celebrities’ boyfriend?” She suddenly asked when she noticed my silence.

“Awful. It’s the worst. I’m not even given a choice in the matter. Even if I refuse, you’re not going to listen to and do this anyway.”

“Yes, I’d personally rather not have to self-destruct, so I’ll keep treating you as my boyfriend regardless of what you want. I’ll just establish it as fact and make it known publicly you’re my boyfriend instead of keeping it a secret if you refuse. Eventually, I will make you love so you won’t be able to betray .”

“Do what you want. Just don’t get your hopes up. I’m not going to fall for you. I have no interest in celebrities.” Falling in love with such a vicious woman would be a grave mistake after all. No matter how beautiful she was on the exterior, the inside was the complete opposite. The pure white dyed hair and outfit she had on were all part of the mask she wore in front of her fans for the sake of her career. The color that suited this scary Angel of Death was not white at all, but rather, black instead.
