Chapter 6 The Price of Cruelty

Author: Ginger King
"Adrian, you vile piece of trash! You're the one who kept whispering in my ear day after day, telling me Julian was a narcissist, a cheater, that he'd dump me sooner or later. You were jealous of him, so you came up with this disgusting plan!"

Blood trailed down the corner of Adrian's mouth, and something in him snapped.

He lunged forward and clawed at Selene's face.

"Jealous? Did you forget what you said to me in bed? You said Julian was a boring block of wood with zero spark, that the two of you had nothing in common. You told me I was the only one who made you feel relaxed and made things exciting."

They tore into each other, exposing every filthy secret between them in broad daylight.

My mother and I watched the spectacle with cold detachment, not a flicker of emotion between us. It was nothing more than two scumbags tearing at each other.

Finally, my mother lifted a hand toward her assistant, Evan. "Shut them up. They're too loud."

    The door swung open, and the four of them stumbled inside, tripping over each other in their panic.The moment they saw me, they dropped to their knees beside my hospital bed.Selene's mother cried the hardest. She crawled toward me, reaching for my hand, but I pulled away without hesitation."Julian, please," she begged through sobs. "Talk to Ms. Mercer. Ask her to spare Selene. She's your girlfriend. You've been together for three years!"A cold laugh left my throat. "My girlfriend? You mean the one who swapped out my life-saving medication and beat me while I was slipping into a diabetic crisis?"Selene's mother froze, speechless.Her husband, a man who was usually sharp and commanding, was reduced to tears, bowing his head to the floor again and again. "It was our fault. We failed as parents. Mr. Mercer, if you can forgive her, our family is willing to give up everything we own as compensation."My mother let out a cold snort beside me. "The Winters family's assets aren't ev

    The laughter that had filled the crowd fell silent in an instant. Every head snapped around, eyes wide with shock.Down the mountain path, a group of people had appeared out of nowhere.Leading them was a middle-aged woman in a custom-tailored suit. She was my mother.Behind her, a dozen or so highly trained bodyguards followed, their presence instantly turning the forest into a zone of palpable danger.Suddenly, the sky thundered with the roar of spinning blades. A medical rescue helicopter bearing the Mercer Group logo hovered above the clearing.Doctors and nurses in white coats rappelled down with precision, rushing straight toward me.They worked with swift efficiency, administering drugs through my veins. Gradually, the suffocating edge of death eased, and I felt life seep back into me.My mother's warm hands stroked my hair, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and relief. "Julian, don't be afraid. I'm here."I forced my eyes open. When I saw the red rim of her eyes,

    Hope flared in my chest again. I forced my hand up, reaching for him. "Give it to me… Please…"But just as my fingertips were about to brush the injector, Adrian flicked his wrist and pulled it out of reach with effortless cruelty.A crooked grin tugged at his mouth. He shot a look at the pink-haired girl beside him.She caught on instantly. She plucked the injector from his hand and gave me a lazy, mocking once-over."I don't buy the whole innocent-boy act," she said, her voice dripping with contempt. Then, she dangled the injector in front of me like she was teasing a dog. "You want it? Come get it. Crawl over here and beg."My head was already spinning, and my legs were too weak to hold me up. All I could do was drag myself forward on instinct."Holy crap, he's actually crawling!""Hurry, record it! This pose is insane!"The excited jeers of the crowd and the sharp clicks of their phone cameras buzzed in my ears.Humiliation swallowed me whole.I could feel Selene's expres

  • She Regretted Stealing My Insulin   Chapter 3 A Truth I Couldn't Ignore Anymore

    The way Selene shielded Adrian made the two of them look like some picture-perfect pair.And just like that, I was dragged back three days earlier.It had been another gathering. Selene and Adrian had slipped out of the room and didn't return for a long time.A knot formed in my stomach. I went looking for them and finally spotted them by the restroom.The hallway lights were dim. Adrian's hands were braced at Selene's waist, their bodies nearly pressed together, close enough to make me sick.The moment I charged forward, Adrian happened to finish buttoning the very last button on Selene's shirt. He glanced at me with that mocking, playful look he always wore. "Julian, don't get the wrong idea. Selene popped a button. I just helped her fix it."Selene, meanwhile, looked completely unfazed. If anything, she was annoyed that I'd interrupted."Babe, don't overthink this. I've always treated Adrian like a brother. You know I'm an only child. I grew up envying families with siblings.
