Lahat ng Kabanata ng Love You Like I Used To? Forget It!: Kabanata 171 - Kabanata 180

Initially, Travis had been excited when he first touched her. He was overjoyed at being able to fulfill his lifelong dream.But now, the joy Travis had felt had worn off. So, he felt Julianne's body wasn't even that satisfying. In fact, he even felt she was worse than the street hookers he could find outside pubs. At least those hookers were tight and voluptuous.Travis couldn't hold back his distaste for Julianne, who was still lying on the floor.Without hesitation, he kicked her and sneered. "You lived wildly while you were abroad, didn't you? I bet you slept around the entire time."For years, Julianne had been like an angel in Travis' eyes. She was someone who was high above him. So much so that he felt sinful should he even think of her in a lewd way. To him, her existence was sacred, so she had to be treated as such.That being said, Julianne had willingly slept with a much older man just for money. And when she went abroad later on, she had lived a debaucherous lifestyle.

I knew it. I knew things wouldn't go as smoothly as Irvin had confidently claimed. Something unexpected was bound to happen.I had told Irvin not to bring Ms. Plume along. I had even told him she had bullied me in the past and that she was close with Travis. I had also pointed out that something was amiss when Travis had singled her out.But Travis had insisted that Ms. Plume accompanied us. And just like how Irvin refused to let me go, he also declined sending Ms. Plume away. Not only that, he had handed me over to her without hesitation. He had allowed her to deliver me to Travis without a second thought.It seemed Irvin just didn't trust me. When it was between me and Julianne, he had implicitly trusted Julianne. And he did the same when it came to Ms. Plume.Ms. Plume was one of his subordinates who obeyed him without question. So, he believed she wouldn't act against him. He also assumed she wouldn't do anything to harm me.No, that wasn't right. It wasn't that he implicitly

The unexpected sound of Travis' voice startled me. Instinctively, I looked toward its source. That was when I noticed a flashing red dot on the headliner at the very back of the car. Seeing this made me realize that the car had been equipped with a remote monitoring device.Travis had been monitoring the car this whole time. That was how his men had shown up so quickly. They must have rushed over the moment I knocked out Ms. Plume and the other guy.My chances of successfully making it out of this alive were even slimmer now.Still, giving up was the same as dying. And I refused to just roll over and die. Not when I had a chance of surviving if I fought back. So, of course, I took my chances.Closing my eyes, I floored the accelerator. I charged straight into the motorbikes that blocked my way.My actions were reckless. Seeing this, they quickly reacted to save themselves. Those who were fast enough managed to swerve out of the way. And those who weren't abandoned their bikes and

Julianne couldn't let this go on any longer. If she didn't stop this now, she'd have suffered all that pain and humiliation for nothing.She couldn't let that happen. There was no way she'd let him abandon her now—especially not to save me.With that thought in mind, Julianne desperately threw herself at Irvin. But unlike before, when he'd drop everything at the slightest sign of her discomfort, he didn't even flinch now. Instead of catching her in his arms, he simply stepped aside, letting her stumble.Then, he turned sharply and hurried out.From the moment he'd stormed in and found Julianne alone, he knew something was seriously wrong. If nobody else was there, it meant they'd all gone after Emilia. He needed to get to her—fast.As soon as he stepped outside, he immediately demanded answers from the security chief, Brody Silas, who stood beside him. "How's Emilia doing?"When Brody told him Ms. Plume's car had never actually stopped where the GPS tracker indicated—that the p

A fresh wave of anxiety gripped me.Travis was sharp—smarter than the average man. He wouldn't have made it this far if he weren't. It wouldn't be easy to trick him.Before the thought had even fully formed, I heard Travis bark coldly, "Search every damn inch around here! She didn't jump!"One of his guys asked instinctively, "How do you know she didn't jump?""The last time she jumped off a cliff, she broke every bone in her body and spent three months bedridden," Travis snapped back. "There's no way in hell she'd put herself through that kind of agony again. She'd rather die first!"I froze, stunned. I never expected Travis to actually understand me this well."Look at her footprints—she's hiding somewhere close by. Turn this place inside out!" Travis yelled again.Travis had worked for Irvin long enough to know exactly how ruthless he could be. He knew he was as good as dead if he didn't catch me now.Because I'd had no time, the footprints I'd left were concentrated within
