Chapter 150 150. Manipulating Female Lead
'Old weakness of Female lead, being too emotional.'
Alex smirked in his heart hearing the sound of the system. It's really too easy to manipulate female leads, as they are meant to be "perfect" women.
Yeah, authors always try to make them "perfect" or "Ideal" women who can't do anything wrong or bad and if they did then it was the fault of the world not hers, She is a pure kind-hearted woman.
Yes, even if she forces another man to marry her, She did nothing wrong. It was the man's fault who did not love his oppressor, As they have inherent diseases of victimhood.
In their eyes the whole world is against them, Only they suffer the most, others are just evil, Not that they have valid reasons to hate her.
But because of that, Alex loves these types as they are very easy targets to tame. Their strongest trait is their biggest weakness.
He did not even have to think much to make FL fall for him, like right now, In just one conversation he pretty much conquered her heart.
Though Sandra is not like those entitled Female leads thanks to the reverse world laws, She still follows that default route of FL, So Alex had to fix only one thing which is the monogamous nature of FL.
Females lead hate or even disgust if their man was even in contact with another woman, As most of the time ML is a virgin and had no prior relationship, Also he had to reject other women no matter how beautiful they are just for FL.
As true to that nature, He saw the disgust that appeared on her face when he mentioned another woman. Even for him, there was disgust on her face, but he who was prepared quickly resolved it.
Now that he pushed down her bottom line, He can push as much as he wants. After all, now that she changed her mind, it will not take much to lower even more.
"After that it was obvious, I left her and as retaliation, she blocked all my way to earning enough to feed myself thinking it will force me back to her, But I was adamant that I would rather die hungry than to go back to her.
I decided to take away the thing she most desire, Just like she takes away my love for her, I know she is obsessed with "purity" thing, *Scoff* If I was not "pure" she would lose interest in me, I didn't care about anything anymore, I had nothing to lose.
So I did it, I tainted my body, and became a broken shoe in those internet people's words. Look at the irony, I protected myself all that time for her, and yet I gave up myself just to get away from her.
I was sad-No I was broken from body to soul, A shell left of my past self, But I was glad I will get away from her, Not because I hate her, Far from it, I know love in my heart for her was so immense that if I meet her again, I will have forgiven her.
This was a step of mine to get away from her. I loved her, and wanted her, but I can't lose my self-respect, My free will, For which I sacrificed everything for her. Now she will hate me, despise me, or so I thought.
Well, it turns out her obsession was bigger than her hate for me, She still did not let me be, So the cycle began, I already tainted myself 1 time, Which did not have much effect on her, So I did it again to surpass her obsession for me with her hate for me.
I didn't know when 1st time turns into 2nd then 3rd and so on, At one point I even forgot why I doing it but every time I did it, I even forgot about the pain, I was feeling alive again, unlike before I'm enjoying doing with others, It was not disgusting as before, Which was become the only source of my happiness, My love for her also decreased *Sigh* Or I thought so.
One day I saw her and realised no I did not forget her. There are feelings in me for her, Same as before but now there was an additional emotion of hate, Other than she hated me, I hated her, and I blame her for my actions.
I know this is a cowardly thing to do, but it was easier to believe someone else was responsible for my descend than to accept it was all my fault, So I did that, Which became the regret of my life.
So take this suggestion from the man who walked on the same path as you are walking on, give up, This path only leads to hatred and self-loathing.
Go to him, Anyway, it was a little sacrifice of dignity, But at least you can walk in the world with heads up, Rather than taunted by every 2nd hillbilly, I don't say it, but it hurts, It re-dig those wounds I try to forget about.
So Sandra, take this suggestion and give up. It was good for both of you."
Alex finally finished speaking. He did not know if he ever spoke so much at one time, but Sandra also did not disturb him, as she was looking for a glimpse of the light of Alex's success.
She too was on the way to doing what he did. She wanted to hear the good news that everything will work out eventually or at least get words of encouragement from him, but all she got was a hopeless future.
He even said to accept that man, How can she accept him? Not only is he extremely possessive but also did not love her at all, Even if she is a woman she is not an animal, Who sees the man she can't hold herself back.
She wanted an emotional connection, A true love or at least an illusion of it, which seems impossible with Dick.
Even now he was coming after her because she hurt his ego by divorcing him, His obsession brought him here not love.
"In your suggestion what will work on him?"
Sandra hardened her heart and asked Alex in a determined voice, So what if this path will be hard? A man can walk past, then why can't she?
She agrees with what Alex said, She rather ruins her life herself than to give up her free will and let others do it for her.
Even if she will fall into the abyss, It will be because of her actions, She will be happy as she is the one who is responsible for it.
She looked at Alex, amazed by how quickly he solved the problem which she was struggling with for a year. She also felt pity that this pure soul of a man had to go through all that. Now there was a special place in her heart for him.
She did not know what that place meant, but she knows he is special to her.
That's why she was comfortable asking him about the solution to not having the slightest idea that she had already fallen into Alex's hand.
"Sandra listen don't do this, He looks rich, You will have a luxurious comfortable life if you-
"I don't think your "her" was any less rich, Then why did you not choose to be with her?"
Alex again "tried" to change her mind, but it only makes Sandra even firmer in her decision. She spoke cutting Alex's sentence midway, asking him a question in return.
"Touché, But Sandra, are you sure there is no turning back from this? You will only fall deeper and deeper."
Alex said in a concerned voice, while making sure that Dick was not looking at them, He was so close to totally conquering her, He did not want any disturbance to ruin it.
Though he already told Xiao Bad to create a low-grade illusion around him through his connection with her, Which Dick can't see through being a normal man, But still he was worried as he did not know if his Villain halo can counter FL or ML halo.
"I am sure, Even if I fall, That's all be my fault. There will be no one to blame but me, I rather prefer this one."
Sandra had a firm face as she spoke these words. After hearing Alex's story, She was ready to do anything to get away from Dick, Anything.
"Okay then I have two options here, 1 has 50/50 chances of working, while the other one will 100 percent work. Which one you will choose?
Alex did not waste any time and went directly into the topic as Villain dies from over-monologuing. He will never do that, He is a good villain.
*After 2 minutes of long monologue*
That's why he knew he would never lose. He's just now waiting for Sandra's answer.
"2nd one."
Sandra just said it without giving a second thought to the 1st option, She did not want to take any chances, If there is a foolproof option, She will choose that one.
"Really, are you sure? You did not even ask me why I did not use it on "Her", Why?"
Alex asked in confusion, but in his heart, he smiled like a maniac. Of course, he knew why she did not ask him as a trait of FL is that they are smart enough to connect the points but keep in mind that in the face of misunderstanding, It goes offline or even works against it.
'System, use eye of truth on Dick.'
Alex, seeing he has time, decided to check the stats of the man going to turn green.
