Chapter 5

ผู้เขียน: Ginger Adams
No matter how Ryan tried to provoke me, I didn’t react.

Then he spotted the empty bowl of peanut soup on the table. He picked it up, sniffed it, and immediately flew into a rage.

“Who gave her this?! Don’t you idiots know she’s allergic to peanuts?! Get over here, all of you! Who gave her this soup? Do you have a death wish?!

“Get the doctor here! Now!”

Panicking, Ryan scooped me into his arms, turning me over and slapping my back hard, trying to force the soup back out.

However, I was already gone, lifeless and limp in his arms.

Maybe it was the violent shaking, but suddenly, I felt weightless. Everything turned clear again.

I reached up and touched my chest, which didn’t hurt anymore.

Strangely, I felt relieved.

Thank God I was only a spirit now. If I had stayed alive and kept enduring this, Ryan might’ve tortured me to death.

Suddenly, Ryan broke down crying. He grabbed my hair and forced my face toward him.

“Lily, what are you faking now?! Wake up! I didn’t give you perm

  • Love Ends in Vain   Chapter 8

    I had a feeling that everything was coming to an end.I stepped forward and touched the shattered ring, but it remained still and lifeless.‘Mom, Dad, Luna, are you angry with me? Do you blame me for marrying the wrong man? I got you all killed, so now you won’t come to take me home?’Suddenly, Ryan dropped to his knees.“Lily, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have forced you to submit to me. Will you forgive me?“Don’t leave me! Don’t go off with another man! Get up and tell me you love me, and you’ll stay by my side forever! You promised me when we got married! How can you just walk away now? Say something…”The last time Ryan cried like this was when the Irwins were on the verge of bankruptcy.His father’s company secrets were leaked, and the Irwins lost a billion-dollar deal. Decades of savings vanished overnight.Young Ryan sat on the rooftop, waving goodbye to me.“Lily, let’s end it here. I’m just a poor boy now. My love would only be a burden.”I patted his head. “Then how ab

  • Love Ends in Vain   Chapter 7

    Three years ago, Ryan insisted on dragging me on a glacier expedition.We ran into an avalanche. Ryan was buried under the snow, his body going numb from hypothermia, and his consciousness fading.I had zero wilderness experience. I didn’t dare scream for help, nor did I have any idea how to rescue someone. All I could do was clutch my lucky stone and cry as I prayed to the heavens, begging them to take all my luck and give it to him, just so he could survive.At the time, all I knew was I loved him so much. Without Ryan, I couldn’t live.Maybe my prayer worked. The avalanche subsided, and the snow weighing down on Ryan began to slide away. I quickly dug him out. However, by the time I managed to drag him to safety, my limbs were already frozen stiff, my fingers purple and numb, completely useless.Suddenly, Ryan lunged at me, slamming a fist into my chest. The sharp stone tore through my skin, and I passed out from the pain.Ryan carried me to the rescue team. My chest wou

  • Love Ends in Vain   Chapter 6

    Ryan gritted his teeth. “What was her name again?”Shannon shrank back, trembling. “There are too many of us… We don’t remember all their names.”Ryan clenched his fists. “Find out who she was, and send her parents some hush money. Make sure no one ever hears from her again.”I leaned on the window frame, watching the girl lying half-dead on the garden lawn. Her leg was broken, and she was desperately dragging herself toward the gate.Ryan came up behind me, his breath hot against the side of my neck, his gaze sweeping indifferently across the scene below.“Oh, and before you deal with her, strip her. A woman with a filthy heart doesn’t deserve to wear her clothes.”The rest of the girls trembled violently, falling to their knees.Ryan turned around, sneering. “No one’s going to admit it? Who told you to give Lily the peanut soup?“If no one confesses, no one gets up until Lily wakes up.”The girls kneeled in a circle around my bed, not one of them daring to speak or look at m

    Reina covered her mouth and tugged at Ryan’s sleeve. “Ryan, maybe that’s enough. I think Lily’s leg might actually be broken!”“Perfect. It takes a long time to heal a broken bone. That means during that time, she won't be running anywhere or bullying any of you.”‘A long time? However, Ryan, you'll never see it coming since I'm dying soon,’ I thought to myself.That night, Ryan did something rare. He stayed by my bedside and had the family doctor do a full check-up.They confirmed it was just a fracture. As long as I rested for three months, I’d be fine.I was annoyed by his presence and just about to tell him to leave when I suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.“Keep acting. Go on.” Ryan only smirked.“How come you didn’t spit blood while the doctor was here? Scared they’d realize you’re faking it?“Lily, do you know why I like Reina? Because she looks just like you when you pull the same fake innocent act. You both think I’m some idiot. “But Reina has nothing. She has

  • Love Ends in Vain   Chapter 3

    When I woke up, I was still lying on the couch, only covered by a small throw blanket draped over me.Ryan was gone.The house was filled with noise, with ten or so girls chattering loudly.I called them into my room and opened the wardrobe.The walk-in closet was filled with custom-made dresses, each one a unique piece. The girls’ eyes widened at the sight.Luckily, since Ryan now held absolute power, no one dared to search his house. Technically, these dresses belonged to the Knights, but just like me, no one dared to touch them.“Take whichever one you like,” I said.Shannon stood in front of me, scanning me from head to toe with suspicion written all over her face.“You’re not so generous. What’s the catch?”I shook my head without answering.I had finished sorting through my family’s belongings. Now it was time to take care of my own.Ryan hated me so much. Once I had died, these dresses would probably be burned without a second thought.Rather than let the designers’
