I got linked to a shared sensory system with CEO

chapter 3

The day Leonardo was discharged, Ayla also went back to the Morgan Villa, saying she wanted to "take care of Leonardo."

Olivia was naturally very happy.

While Leonardo was in the study handling work, Olivia and Ayla called me downstairs and swept a pile of broken vase shards onto the floor.

Olivia crossed her arms and commanded me with an arrogant tone, "The floor is dirty. Kneel and clean it up."

Ayla, on the other hand, hypocritically advised me, "Josephine, just listen to Olivia. She's doing this for your own good, wanting you to learn some manners. Leonardo doesn't like women who are unruly."

My knees were already bruised and purple from the whip. Now, kneeling on the sharp porcelain shards, every movement felt like countless steel needles piercing into my bones.

Upstairs in the study, Leonardo was resting in his chair. Suddenly, a sharp, piercing pain shot through his knee, jolting him awake.

This pain was exactly the same as the sharp pain in his back that day.

Leonardo froze for a moment, then suddenly pushed open the door and rushed downstairs.

He rushed to the staircase and saw Ayla holding a basin of water, seemingly losing her balance, pouring the entire basin of cold water over my head.

The icy water made me shiver all over, and the wounds on my knees soaked in water hurt so much that my vision went black.

Seeing Leonardo, Ayla immediately threw herself into his arms, crying bitterly. "Leonardo, I didn't mean to. It was Josephine suddenly trying to stand up, which made me accidentally spill the water. Is she trying to hurt herself with broken porcelain and then blame us?"

Olivia immediately chimed in, "Exactly! This woman is so vicious. Leonardo, you can't keep indulging her. She'll ruin our family."

Looking at my miserable state and then at Ayla trembling and crying in his arms, the hesitation in Leonardo's eyes was once again replaced by disgust.

Leonardo sternly ordered the servants, "Tie her to the chair for me. That way, how can she hurt herself?"

Two strong servants roughly dragged me up and tied me to a chair in the living room with coarse rope, leaving me unable to move.

Leonardo gave me a cold glance, then helped Ayla upstairs.

Back in the study, as soon as Leonardo sat down, a strange sense of restraint spread throughout his body. His bones, muscles, and every joint felt tightly bound by invisible ropes. Even his breathing became difficult.

Leonardo immediately understood and thought, "Josephine is tied up, so I feel tied up too. Could that ridiculous Shared-Sensation System actually be real?"

A terrifying thought formed in his mind.

Leonardo suddenly stood up and said to Ayla, who was peeling an apple for him, "Go accompany my mom for some shopping. I need some time alone."

Then he said to Olivia, "Mom, you must be tired. Go out and relax. Feel free to use the credit card as you like."

Olivia and Ayla both wanted to head out quickly, so they happily left the villa immediately.

The villa instantly fell silent.

Almost at the moment the door closed, the suffocating sense of restraint on Leonardo suddenly vanished.

Leonardo stood there, his expression constantly changing.

After a long time, he slowly walked downstairs, step by step, and stood in front of me, tied to the chair.

I was drenched, water droplets from my hair sliding down my cheeks. I could no longer tell if it was water or tears.

Leonardo silently looked at me. For the first time, his eyes no longer held that cold disdain.

He crouched down, his voice carrying a struggle even he didn't notice. "Did someone really bully you?"
