VOW OF REVENGE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

"Who else could it be? That bastard with the surname Hale, that son of a bitch." Emilia tossed her phone on the table and said to me in a drunken slur:"Let me tell you, Sammy, all men are beasts who think with their lower half. Bastards, not one of them has a heart. That's true for you, Jared, and it's true for Mickey and Ben."I snorted and echoed:"How can the three of them be the same? Ben slept with you the first time he met you, while Jared, I chased him for over Seven years, married him for three, and he doesn't even dare to touch my finger."Emilia laughed heartily: "Hahaha, they are the same, just different methods but with the same result. Jared is a rich psycho; he thinks you're dirty and, hence, won't touch you. Put, it's because he doesn't love you.If he did truly love you, he would overcome whatever was going on in that crazy head of his."She's making sense. Isn't Jared just not in love with me? I know!"What about Mickey?" I asked her. "That snake, he is the worst o

Kent grabbed my hand while seizing my chin, forcing me to look him in the eyes. His complexion was very stern, but his eyes were serious."Do you think I'm a fucking beast driven solely by my lower half? Let me tell you, I'm not.I'm not a brute who would jump any woman he sees. When I made a move on you in the club, it was because I felt an inexplicable familiarity when I first saw you.I can't explain why, but I just strangely want to treat you well. If you say it's because I like you, then fine. Are you satisfied now?"The seriousness in his eyes was nearly intimidating as hell, and even though I was so drunk, and was about to lose consciousness, his tone still managed to startle me.I had experienced too much this evening, and my mental state barely held up until now. When he claimed that he liked me, the suppressed rebellious instincts in my heart broke free like a demon bursting through a door, stripping away my sanity.Staring at him dumbfounded, after who knows how long, I s

Once in the car, I can’t stop worrying and endlessly talking about Emilia."Your friend keeps pestering Emilia like this, and in the end, he'll hurt her. As his friend, you must remind him not to treat her feelings lightly. She is not like other frivolous girls. She wouldn’t be able to bear such heartbreak again."Emilia has been forever scarred by Mickey's heartbreak. She doesn't need any more drama.Kent laughed derisively, looking from me to the road, seemingly helpless: "How do you know if Ben isn’t interested in her? As for love affairs, who can say for certain?"I was confused at first, wondering if Ben told him something and he wasn't saying it.But that doesn't matter anyway; I should make things clear before she experiences a worse heartbreak than that of Mickey."Indeed, the intricacies of love are the most elusive things in the world, but there's no chance for Ben and Emilia to happen. Your friend is a philandering man of privilege.Also, his status speaks for itself. His f

I looked up from the proposal with a weary face, meeting his somewhat mournful eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly:Even though we do not live together yet, we frequently find opportunities to share a bed. Even in the past month, when we hardly got to meet formally, we did it twice. It has merely been a week since our last meeting. The situation he alludes to is a gross exaggeration. I know he's joking, but the sight of his handsome face biting his lip brought a flutter to my heart.Ever since ancient times, beauty has been the most irresistible temptation.I put down the proposal and propped my head up with both hands."Handing the company to me was indeed a lousy idea. You might as well take it back. To be honest, I did feel satisfied when you handed me the company in front of Louisa. It was a slap in her face. Yet, during this past month, I felt uncomfortable sitting in this position. Mainly because I'm not adept at managing."Truth be told, I do not possess any ambition

After he left, I only then realized my palms were almost all sweaty. It was only after Kent gave me a cup of milk that my mood slowly calmed down."Why did you come up? I thought you had left.""Hmm, I had intended to leave, but then I saw Jared's car. I thought he was here.""Oh, now it's alright, you... should head back.""I should go? If I leave, what if that bastard comes back to kill"?I opened my mouth and closed it right back; I had never really thought things through.He did not leave. He spent the night at my place. After both of us had bathed and settled down, we lay in bed.The stars outside tonight were bright. I remained with my eyes wide open, unable to sleep no matter what.Kent, too, was not asleep. He turned around to face me and asked me,"Can't sleep? Want to do it?” Kent was already very good-looking, and right now he was lying face-to-face with me. Add on his gentle sweet talk and emotional expression; if I said my heart was not moved, it would simply be a lie.
