Chapter 753



“My dear,” he said with a sly grin dancing on his lips, “why have you suddenly become so compliant these past few days?”

Minna met his gaze softly and replied, “I’ve contemplated it deeply. Since I am already wed to you, I ought to treat you well.”

Her voice wavered slightly as she continued, “And I also saw those photographs from that day… Darwin is now with Belinda. There’s no chance for Darwin and me to be together anymore. So, instead of clinging to something that no longer belongs to me, I might as well live my life with you properly. Don’t you agree?”

Moshe nodded, satisfaction gleaming in his eyes. “I’m pleased you feel that way,” he replied with an approving smile.

Minna blinked and turned her gaze toward Moshe. With a tone laced with a subtle plea, she said cautiously, “My dear… May I ask you for a favor?”

“What is it?” Moshe inquired.

“Honestly, it’s not a significant matter. Could you help me remove this from around my neck?” Minna said, gesturing towards the dog collar that encircled her neck.

It was indeed a dog collar—a symbol of her captivity and humiliation. Moshe had fastened a tailor-made collar around Minna’s neck, with a leash extending to a nearby cage, a prison that had become all too familiar to her.

Countless times, Moshe had treated Minna as nothing more than a pet, tethered by the leash. Her existence had been reduced to that cramped bedroom, where all her food and water were delivered by indifferent servants.

When Minna made her request, Moshe’s brow furrowed slightly as he considered it.

Before he could respond, Minna hurriedly added, “This collar is really starting to bother me. It’s becoming unbearable. Look, it’s all inflamed. The skin on my neck has been itchy and painful for days.”

She looked up at him with pleading eyes. “Can’t you show a little compassion and let me take it off, just for tonight? Just tonight, please? I promise I’ll put it back on first thing tomorrow morning.”

Moshe remained silent for a moment, but his demeanor softened at her desperate plea.

Sensing an opportunity, Minna pressed on. “Please, darling! I’m begging you! Just this once, and I’ll let you do whatever you want tonight.”

When Moshe heard this tempting offer, his eyes sparkled with interest. “You said it yourself. You can’t go back on your word.”

“Yes, I did. Now hurry up and enter the code,” Minna urged eagerly, tilting her neck towards him.

The collar was custom-designed with a combination lock, one only Moshe could unlock.

He swiftly entered the code and unlocked it.

With a quick motion, the collar was removed from Minna’s neck.

For the first time in what felt like forever, Minna could breathe freely again.

A crimson ring of bruises marked her neck where the collar had pressed against her skin.

“Alright, darling! Let’s enjoy ourselves tonight!” Moshe gazed at Minna eagerly, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

“Enjoy ourselves?” Minna replied, her tone turning cold. “I’m afraid that won’t be happening.”

In an instant, Minna’s expression changed. Her smile and submissiveness vanished, replaced by a cold and threatening glare that sent a shiver down Moshe’s spine.

Moshe’s face darkened with confusion and anger. “What do you mean?” he asked.
