I got linked to a shared sensory system with CEO

chapter 1

Before marrying Leonardo Morgan, his mother Olivia Morgan gave me a premarital obedience test.

She asked me to serve coffee to the whole family, and I did.

She made me walk barefoot on a gravel path to prove I could endure hardship, and I did.

She made me sign a prenuptial agreement stating I wouldn't get any assets in case of divorce, and I still signed it.

Throughout the process, Leonardo watched coldly. He only said to me, "Josephine, don't make a fuss. Just bear with it. These are our family rules." Josephine Campbell is my name.

I smiled and nodded, but tears couldnt help falling. The final test was Olivia slapping me unexpectedly.

Olivia said, "After marrying Leonardo, you need to understand what humility is."

I stood still, but Leonardo, who was upstairs in the study having a video meeting, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Afterward, Leonardo covered his face and looked at me in horror.

At this moment, a mechanical voice echoed in my mind. "Your Shared-Sensation System with Leonardo has been successfully bound. From now on, he will fully experience all the pain you endure."

The pain on my face hadnt subsided yet when Leonardo collapsed backward like a puppet with its strings cut.

His handsome face, always filled with arrogance and disdain, was now twisted in fear.

Olivia shouted, "Leonardo!"

The other servants also shouted, "Mr. Morgan!"

The Morgan Villa's living room instantly descended into chaos.

Screams, cries, and the sound of chairs and tables crashing to the ground merged into a chaotic noise.

I stood there, watching everyone frantically lift Leonardo onto the ambulance.

And the cause of it allOlivia froze for just a moment before pointing at me and yelling, "It's you, you wretch, who made Leonardo collapse at home!"

I said nothing, just raised my hand and gently touched my swollen left cheek.

The burning pain on my cheek felt just like the ache in my heart.

The hospital's diagnosis came out quickly. Leonardo had acute concussion along with facial soft tissue contusions, but the cause was unknown.

When Leonardo woke up, I was the only one in the hospital room.

He saw the clear five-finger mark on my face. The mark was identical to the impact he remembered feeling on his cheek. Immediately, the confusion in his eyes was quickly replaced by gloom.

Leonardo asked in a hoarse yet judgmental voice, "Josephine, what did you do to me?"

I calmly looked at him and said, "I didn't do anything. Olivia slapped me, and then you collapsed."

"Ridiculous!" Leonardo sneered, "My mom slapped you, and I ended up spitting blood and fainting? Josephine, are you now making up such lies just to gain my sympathy?"

"This is not a lie," I said word by word. "Just now, we were bound by the Shared-Sensation System. From now on, any harm I suffer, whether physical or emotional, you will feel it too."

Leonardo stared at me intently, his eyes full of disgust and contempt.

He sneered, "Is this your new trick? Josephine, I really underestimated you. You've truly tried every possible way just to make me look at you."

"Don't you believe me?" I asked him.

"I believe you're a lunatic," Leonardo said coldly.

I laughed, but tears fell once again. I wiped them away, looking at the man I had loved for ten years but could never move.

Then, in a cold tone even unfamiliar to myself, I said, "Leonardo, let's make a bet."

"What are we betting on?" Leonardo raised an eyebrow, looking at me as if I were a ridiculous clown.

I calmly said, "Let's bet that I'll make you personally feel just how painful the suffering I've endured all these years truly is."

Leonardo didnt answer, just turned his head away and called the nurse. His actions told me he found even speaking another word to me disgusting.

Looking at the pitch-black night sky outside the window, I whispered, "You will believe."
