However, she had gotten herself into this mess. Later, they met for a second time, and Ryan asked her to marry him to meet his grandfather's wish. After being threatened, Mino reluctantly agreed to his proposal and became his wife. Although Mino consented to marry Ryan, she had never given up on running away from him.

Trapped Inside This Madness Chapter 1 A Shameless Boyfriend!

At KELOO, a five-star hotel of N City.

"Come with me and catch him." Cherry Mo quickly showed the photo to Mino Xu.

In the photo, there was a fat and balding middle-aged man. He had a gold chain around his neck, similar to what they used as a dog collar.

Mino Xu's face contorted into disgust. "Who is he?"

She'd just been dragged all the way to the hotel for Cherry Mo to show her the picture. However, even then, Mino Xu couldn't help but notice the restlessness in Cherry's eyes when she showed it to her.

"John – my new boyfriend. He plays around with some model – younger than him no less!"

She then showed Mino another picture. Dressed in a Chinese Cheongsam, Cherry looked absolutely seductive. Her figure was proudly enveloped, which was attractive to any man.

She grabbed a hold of Mino's hand as pleading, "I know this is dangerous, but please? We've been best friends since forever!"

"Let me go!" Mino shook her hand from her grasps.

"It is the eighth time this year you've asked me to catch your boyfriend who's cheating on you! I mean, didn't we just celebrate New Year's Eve seven weeks ago? I don't this becomes my weekly routine!" Mino complained, looking nothing more than a grumpy child.

"It's not like I have a choice!" Cherry protested, her voice filled with sentimentality.

"Please? Do you really want me to be hurt by another guy? I'll lose my trust in love at this time!"

"It's not about that!" Mino argued. She still had a bit of baby fat in her cheeks, but under the moonlight, she was stunning herself.

Taking a deep breath, she felt as if she was going to tell her friend what she had explained countless of times when it was spiraling down to this.

"You keep dating all those middle-aged men. Cherry, they could be as old as your Dad! How do you think your mother's feeling about this?"

"But look at how generous they are! Plus their break-up fees aren't that bad either," Cherry snapped back, motioning to the designer bag that she was sporting.

"At least take care of yourself! You know how men are, especially those old enough." Seeing as beating around the bush wouldn't work, Milo might as well tell her straight off.

"John has an erectile problem." Cherry winked.

"I'm not talking about that!" Couldn't she see the point she was trying to make? Mino ran her fingers down her hair, frustration evident in her face.

"I'll pay you! One percent of my break-up fees?" Cherry suggested, taking out a room key.

"You know what? Go ahead." Mino grumpily took the lead, knowing that she was going nowhere if she continued talking to Cherry.

At that moment, the luxurious LED screen displayed the cocktail party being hosted by the KELOO hotel. However, it was just interrupted by regular news.

It was the wealthiest and high-class hotel across the N City. Usual crime news wasn't normally displayed upon the screen.

With the cut, everyone looked at the screen in disbelief, trying to see what the fuss was about. Cherry and Mino, however, were too busy getting into the elevator.

"Last week in Las Vegas, the Clow Family was stolen. With tight monitoring and security network, the thieves managed to get through in less than two minutes!

This video would show the events that had transpired that night. The Clow Villa is equipped with the most intelligent surveillance system.

However, the power was cut out coincidentally. With this, once the power returned a few seconds later, the Heart of First Snowflakes and the thief were nowhere to be seen!" The news showed the various events as the audience gasped in disbelief.

"No one can explain how this had happened.

Although nobody got a good look at the thief, there were some who said that it was the young girl – Angie, the infamous robber.

The Heart of First Snowflakes of the Clow Family is a national treasure. In fact, it's linked with the Heart of Lost Love from the Yuan Family, another priceless piece.

Some have said that Angie would be aiming for the Yuan Family next! Just at this time, Ryan, a member of the Yuan Family, was a guest under the Clow's Villa."

The people around the lobby held their breath. They watched the Cable News as if they were watching their favorite drama.

Just then, a tall man stepped into the screen. His facial features were very angular as his eyes were dark and deep. He wasn't affected amidst the flustered crowd as he stared into the camera.

"If you dare touch our piece, that would be the worst mistake of your life, Miss Angie."

No one could hear what the broadcaster said next as the lobby erupted with a flurry of gossip among the audience.

A woman from Chanel turned to one of her co-workers. "Is he Ryan? He never accepted any invitation to visit our country. Who knew he'd be so handsome?"

"The Yuan Family monopolizes the property and finance market. They're practically invincible! Plus, Mr. Ryan's now the head of their transportation industry, but he's so private. If the thief didn't visit the Clow Family, the media wouldn't even have pictures of him."

"God bless that robber then. Maybe then, we'll see Mr. Ryan on screen." A woman winked.

The hall was already filled with so much gossip.

"You think I'll be able to see him when I go to Vegas? I'll be sure to check where he went!"

With all this clutter, no one bothered to listen to the policemen's pleas for help on the case.

On the other side of the building, the elevator stopped at the eighteenth floor. It was one of the most luxurious floors of the entire hotel.

Mino didn't hear the news. She stopped at 1808 and swiped the card, furrowing her eyebrows when it didn't work.

"Stay away or you'll be dead on the spot!" she yelled.

With a click, the door opened.

Mino was holding her very own weapon – an anti-seismic camera. Her sweet and delicate face turned murderous in an instant.

She was a professional woman. In fact, all the victims she held always paid their price in the end.

She kicked the door open.

Being quite familiar with the scene, Milo wasted no time in taking pictures.

There was no need to see the main act. He must've been acting foolishly. With balding hair and a trembling face, the man must look awful.

"You have the right to remain silent, John, but you'll pay the price whether you like it or not!" she yelled out unbelievingly.

"Miss, you recognized the wrong person." A cold and deep voice echoed in the room.

Although it was soft, it sounded as if it could control the whole crowd.

'What?' It was different from the usual begging she'd hear from a 'culprit'!

"Ah! Who's that?" Before she could see who it was, someone yelled out, "Ryan, who's that? I'm so scared!"

Mino furrowed her eyebrows at the sound. This wasn't in accordance with her plan in the first place.

'Isn't she the popular actress, Betty Chu?' She was the youngest daughter of the Chu Family, and a beauty queen and had been in many movies. Never did Mino expect that John would mix himself with the likes of her!

Mino took up the camera again.

However, just when she did that, Betty Chu was already terribly enthusiastic, posing in front of the lens that Mino was scared that she'd take the camera from her and take a photo of herself in the process.

At last Betty Chu even threw herself onto the bed! With a loud bang,

Betty was pushed out of the cushions!

...... Mino blinked.

"Stop your acting and get out!" The cold voice sounded very demanding.

"Acting?" In her 17 years of doing this, Mino had never met such a domineering man.

"Shut up, old man! Listen, no one is playing with you today. If you don't pay up a million, I'll ruin you."

"Hey! Reporter! You... Did you make a mistake?"

Betty furrowed her eyebrows at her lines.

"Take it wrong? How could I get it wrong?" Hearing that she denied it, Mino was growing very worried.

"Is it not John under the quilt?" she demanded. "Facts tell the truth!"

With a camera in hand, Mino rushed over to the bed.

What happened just now was going to be engraved in history. No one would know that this petite girl could detour Betty in a second, and her motion was so fast that no one could see clearly. She suddenly pulled away the quilt and pointed at him!

"For sure! You're John all right!"

Time froze. Ryan Yuan looked at Mino's fluffy head. Her skin was not made up but as white as transparent, and her amber colored eyes were without any impurity. Her hand was poking his nose, just like a righteous citizen catching hypocrisy red-handed.

They stared at each other.

The picture on my phone was a punch to the gut. It showed my husband, Julian Vance, the cold, untouchable tech CEO, smiling genuinely at a young woman I' d never seen before, his hand resting on her shoulder. This wasn't his public, polished smile for the cameras. It was something real, something he hadn' t directed at me in years. My seemingly stable world tilted on its axis, unraveling years of accepted emotional distance. "Lily Chen. Struggling artist," the private investigator' s text read below the photo. I knew our five-year marriage was a business arrangement, but I thought Julian was emotionally detached from everyone. I thought wrong. That night, at the annual Vance Technologies gala, I confronted him. His eyes, usually unreadable, flickered with annoyance before settling into their practiced mask. "Our marriage is a business arrangement, Scarlett. You knew that when you signed the papers." He handed me a divorce settlement, already drafted. "I want her. I will not have you in the way." I crumpled the paper. "And if I refuse?" A chilling ruthlessness crossed his face, not meant for a business rival, but for me. "Don' t make this difficult, Scarlett. You will lose." The next week was a nightmare as he systematically dismantled my family' s company, Hayes AI. Our top engineers were poached, contracts sabotaged, stock plummeting. The final blow came when Julian called, his voice emotionless. "I have your parents, Scarlett. They are safe, for now. Sign the papers. You have one hour." He sent a live video feed: my parents, tied to chairs, terrified. I drove frantically to his office, ready to sign. But as my pen touched the paper, Julian spoke one word into his earpiece. "Now." On screen, two masked men entered, brutally ending my parents' lives. The world went black. Then, I gasped, eyes flying open. I was in my bed. Sunlight streamed in. My phone buzzed. It was a notification from my PI. A photo had just arrived: Julian and Lily in her studio. It was the same day. The day it all started. I was back.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.
