Chapter 3

작가: Eira Winters
Soon, everybody knew Brad had called off his engagement with me.

Unexpectedly, I was not beaten up.

However, I lost contact with my siblings, who were abroad, again.

I knew that was how my father always used to vent his anger.

He and my stepmother started searching the entire city for a suitable man for me to get married to. They wanted to marry me off to let the Young family remain wealthy.

However, nasty rumors about me gradually started spreading.

They said I had done many nasty things to make Brad happy over the years. They said I was damaged, and I could not even bear a child anymore.

Nobody in the capital city was willing to take in a woman like me anymore.

My father's temper got worse as days passed, and my life got harder and harder to endure.

Two months after Brad broke off his engagement with me, shocking news about him started spreading again.

They said he was about to get engaged again, and it was to Zoe. Brad even fought with his parents for her.

The group of people who loved drama deliberately sent me the news.

I knew what they wanted to see.

They were just too bored and were starting to miss the days when they had a clown like me by their side.

[Leah, I think Brad still likes you very much.]

[You must be having a hard time now, right? Why don't you go beg Brad?]

[He's quite a soft-hearted person. Just go and cry to him. If that doesn't work, just pretend to take your own life. He might just take you back.]

[How could Zoe compare to you, Leah? You're much prettier than her.]

I looked at the texts, and I did not reply to any of them.

I concentrated my efforts on getting ready to get married instead.

A week ago, I spent the whole night begging on my knees.

Finally, I got my father to agree to let me go to Clason City to get married instead of my sister, who had just come of age.

I had heard about James Blackwell, the heir of the Blackwell family from Clason City. He was ruthless, but he was incredibly powerful. He was the uncrowned king of Clason City.

However, his legs were crippled, and he had a violent temper.

Despite that, I was not afraid at all.

I was willing to do anything to escape the Young family and to give my siblings freedom.

Besides, I could not stay in the capital city anymore.

I might have a fighting chance in Clason City.

  • How Deep Is Your Love   Chapter 30

    It was my mother's death anniversary again.James and I flew to the capital to visit her grave.She was smiling at me in the photo, just like she did when she was alive.I placed the flowers on her grave and told her about everything that had happened in the past few months.It was after sunset that I reluctantly left.Before I left, I met Brad again at the bottom of the hill.He looked exhausted and a little disheveled.I heard that the Coleman family had utterly given up on him.After all, he was only a trust-fund kid who was addicted to drinking and gambling. He was of no use to his family at all."Leah." He stared at me and took a few steps forward. Suddenly, he thought of something and stopped in his tracks."May I help you, Mr. Coleman?" I looked at him indifferently, but I was sighing deep down.I was reminded of how spirited he was and of the luxurious life he had led.He was always surrounded by people who fawned over him.At that moment, however, he was all alone

    I listened to James without saying a word, but I did not stop applying the ointment to his wounds."Leah?"He had to call me a few times before I looked up.I saw my reflection in his clear gaze.James reached out and caressed my cheeks gently and with love.I pushed him away, and my hands shook uncontrollably. "You put yourself in danger. What if they killed you as soon as you fell into their hands? Have you ever thought about that?"He hugged me and pecked my cheek gently. Then, he muttered, "I'm sorry. My only regret was that I didn't think it through and put you in danger. I would never do it again. I'll discuss everything with you in advance from now on, alright?"For some reason, I felt a strong urge to cry. Tears that I was holding back suddenly started rolling down my cheeks.The more gentle he sounded, the harder I cried. It was as if I was trying to dry up a lifetime of tears with this cry.I threw myself into James' arms, grabbing the folds of his shirt with all my

    Ten minutes later, there was a commotion outside the door.I held a wooden stick tightly and subconsciously shielded James behind me. I was getting more and more nervous as well.The door opened, and five men walked in. One held a machete, while the other four had baseball bats. Soon, they found James and me hiding in the corner.As soon as the door opened, James put his back against the wall and leaned on me.I knew he was deliberately pretending to be disabled, trying to make those men let their guard down. Therefore, I played along with him.Sure enough, those men started laughing at him. "This crippled man is so useless. Look at him. He can't even stand up. He needs a woman to protect him.""What a loser."The leader stared right at me. He handed his machete to the subordinate and said to James, "You're a cripple, yet you have such a beautiful wife. I'm sure you can do nothing but look at her. Why don't you let us have fun with her instead?"The man extended his hand, tryin

    James woke me up.My head still hurt after I barely regained consciousness."Leah, are you feeling better?" he asked.I looked at him in a daze and asked subconsciously, "What about you? Are you hurt anywhere?"I was anxious because he could not move his legs. I started to scan his body from top to bottom.His suit jacket was nowhere to be found. His shirt was messy and had a few buttons missing.His watch was gone. His hair, which had always been neat, was slightly messy."I'm fine. I'm not hurt. Don't worry. I have a tracker on me. Someone will come looking for us in an hour tops. Don't be afraid. I'm here."James was still able to remain calm, even when we were in a situation like that. However, it was without a doubt that his composure soothed my nerves.I forced myself to sit up and observe the surroundings.We were in an abandoned warehouse. It was empty and shabby. There were some small rusty accessories and wooden scraps on the ground.I could hear faint voices outsi

    By the time I heard about Walter again, a month had passed.His company, which had long been on the verge of crumbling, had finally closed down half a month ago.Immediately after that, he found out that my stepmother had been sleeping with other men behind his back for a long time.Walter was so angry that he had a stroke. He had no choice but to live out the rest of his life on the bed.Finally, Walter and the Young family could no longer threaten me with disgusting acts.I felt relaxed after I heard about the news.At the same time, James had come home to pick me up for dinner.However, halfway through the drive, I felt something was off. A strange smell in the car made me feel a little nauseated.I frowned and turned to look at James. Simultaneously, he turned and looked at me as well.We immediately understood what we had in mind when we locked eyes.I held my breath and pressed the button to wind the car window down.As expected, the window was locked. There was no way

    Three months passed in the blink of an eye. My siblings' school break was coming to an end.During their time in Clason City, James had asked them about their future plans and hired the relevant tutors. Their lessons were jam-packed. It was tiring, but they learned a lot.Before they left, they thanked James in person, giving him a gift each.After I sent my siblings off at the airport, I pushed James to the parking lot and saw Brad there.Brad stood behind a pillar and was wearing a hat. He was a little thinner than the last time I saw him, and he was no longer as spirited as he used to be.As he had stolen a project from James' company, James took revenge on him as soon as he could.The Coleman family's company suffered a terrible loss, and Brad was dismissed.The discord between him and his parents gradually grew more expansive, and they started focusing on their youngest son.However, Brad had brought it onto himself.I did not pity him at all.Brad tried to come closer a
