Chapter 233

He must be crazy. God knows what he'll do if I don't take his card. Why do I feel like I just dug my own grave, and this man is gladly burying me alive now?

“Give me the card,” Bailey seethed between her teeth, clenching her jaw.

This put a smile on Artemis' face. He gave her back the card and reminded her, “You're mine now that you took it, Bailey. You'd better remember that you belong only to me for the rest of your life. Understood?”

Bailey bit her lip hard. Pleased, Artemis burst out in a hearty laugh, and his melodious voice echoed in the room. “All right. I'll stop teasing you. Tell me. Whose account did you hack this time?”

Bailey rolled her eyes and went on to tell him about Veronique.

Artemis frowned when he learned about what happened. “Do you know that the top brass will not let you off the hook so easily? You just hacked into the country's research center's system. They'll definitely send professionals to track you down. It'll be bad for you once they get their hands on you.”

Bailey narrowed her eyes at him. “Are you suggesting that I should hide all my traces? Veronique will be caught in a tight spot if that's the case. Mr. Yardley is helping her out of his goodwill. If I pull the rug from under his feet now, it'll be difficult for Vero to face him.”

“I didn't ask you to cover all your traces. You'll have to deliver your promise since you gave her your word. What I mean is you should give me your account, so even if they really trace it back to the hacker, they will come to me instead of you.”

Bailey was caught by surprise. She looked at Artemis with uncertainty in her eyes and asked, “Artemis, you...”

Do you love me this much? Don't you know this might ruin you? Are you willing to shoulder the consequences for me?

Artemis pulled her into his embrace and assured her, “I told you I'd treat you like a queen. I don't care if this means people will step all over me, Bay. I want to carry everything for you, including all the darkness you have to face on your own. Are you willing to let me bear this burden for you?”

Bailey's heart beat fast.

If a man is willing to take all your burden for you, he genuinely loves you. He's someone I can spend the rest of my life with, but things are not as straightforward. I still have to consider Simon and Edmund. They're both Artemis' family members. I can't just dismiss their feelings and what the world thinks about me.
