Chapter 190 Love Yourself a Little More

Michael turned to Rena and said, "Starting today, you're my girlfriend. But only in name. You get that, right? I know your mother is ill and needs a large amount of money for medical expenses. I will cover these costs for you, but only as long as I need you."

"If you dare to reveal our relationship to anyone," Michael's voice was low but unmistakably firm, his eyes coldly fixed on Rena, "I will terminate the contract immediately, and you will owe me a substantial penalty."

His tone was severe, and the ruthless words struck Rena like a chilling wave, piercing her heart deeply. Her face paled slightly, and her eyes were filled with anxiety and uncertainty.

"But only in name. You get that, right?"

"I know your mom's really sick and needs a lot of money for her medical bills. I'll cover those expenses until I don't need you anymore."

"If you tell anyone about our arrangement, I'll end the contract immediately, and you'll owe me a big penalty."

"Rena, we're simply meeting each other's needs," Michael continued. "During the period when you are my nominal girlfriend, all your expenses will be covered by me. I'll see to it that you go to the best schools, wear the finest clothes, and live in the best houses. However, when I need you, you must be available at all times."

Each word was clear and powerful, like invisible chains tightly binding Rena. Her heart pounded, unable to ignore his threats and temptations.

"Think it over," Michael's voice softened slightly, yet still carried an irresistible force. "I'll have someone draft a contract."

Michael's words hit Rena like a heavy hammer, striking her heart. Her mind was in turmoil; everything was happening so suddenly that she couldn't make a decision.

Rena's hand trembled slightly, and she bit her lower lip, trying to calm herself down. She knew Michael's words were not empty threats; this man always meant what he said.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Mr. Martin, I can't do this."
