Semua Bab VOW OF REVENGE : Bab 41 - Bab 50

Upon hearing me say no, Daddy's face darkened noticeably, but he quickly regained control of his emotions and put on a benevolent appearance to speak to me. "Sam, we all know that you were deflowered and lost your innocence, and Jared doesn't even like you. It's because I forced pressure onto the Long family that you were able to marry into their family." "You have a destined but unhappy connection with Jared; dragging this on will not make you happy. So just heed my words: get a divorce from him as soon as possible. I'll find you a good man, and you'll be able to live a peaceful life." Agitated, I interrupted his words and sneered, "Don't talk about this any longer. I still have a lingering affection for Jared; therefore, I don't plan to get a divorce for now." Of course, I would eventually divorce, but I refuse to be coerced into giving up my reputation and contributing to someone else's happiness. At this, Dad was so furious, his mouth twisted: "You ungrateful girl, you just

Seeing Kent's gloomy expression as he was looking out of the window, my heart sank. Subconsciously, I wondered if there had been any issues in the full-scale attack on the Long corporation.I locked the door before approaching him."What's wrong? Did something slip through the cracks?" I asked."No. Everything is going smoothly.""If everything is smooth, then why are you unhappy?""It's precisely because everything is too smooth that I am unhappy."Kent let out a sigh, looking more dejected, leaning back with a deep gaze at me."Jared, that self-centered scumbag, always puts his interests first. If the Long Corporation goes bankrupt, he can't hold his ground in New York City. How could he willingly allow me to take over his corporation?Yet, when I've been pressuring the Long Corporation in this period, there's been hardly any struggle or retaliation from them. It feels as if they've easily handed it over to me.This is highly unusual.No matter how incompetent Jared might be, he cou

"Jared, you...you..."Staring at the toolbox laid out in front of me, I was panic-stricken and couldn't form coherent sentences.With this box of contraptions displayed before my very eyes, he combined that with this absurd posture, he tied me in. It doesn't take much to guess his intentions now.But my trepidation was intertwined with an overwhelming sense of shock and disbelief.Back when I used to chase after him, he had always been the cool, distant, celibate male god. After our marriage, he became even more aloof, acting as if I was beneath his notice.But now, why did he suddenly...?Just how twisted is Jared's mind to have conceived such fetishes?Even though my mind feels muddled, I have this glaring realization that his current disposition is far from that of a normal person."Don't look so surprised; you wrecked my wedding, I will have to take you instead. Besides, we are already married," he said, smiling cynically. He must be pissed, I heard that Jade's family called off

When I woke up next, I had no idea how much time had passed.The faint, salty smell of the sea still lingered in the air, but this room was no longer the one on the yacht.Without any interest in studying the room's furnishings, I just wanted to figure out where I was as quickly as possible. Therefore, I looked around.Then, I noticed two men standing in a standoff at the door. Their hands crossed in combat stances, each staring at the other without yielding."Kent?"I called out once I recognized one of them, I mumbled his name. I thought I was still dreaming. But when my hoarse voice made it out, he let go of the other person and dashed over."Sam, you're awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"While he spoke, he reached out and grasped my hand.I felt a bit dazed and stared at him, lost. He seemed to have lost much weight and appeared quite haggard.His typically handsome face was now sporting a stubbly beard. His clothes were even more of a mess, missing several buttons.What

Kieran was talking but suddenly stopped. I couldn't help but ask:"What did I say?""You were confusing me with him. You were tearing my clothes, yet all the while crying and shouting at him, spilling everything that should and shouldn't have been said." I was short for words, I was so embarrassed, I asked the ground to open up, to swallow me whole. But it didn't listen. He paused a moment, furrowing his brows as he looked at me:"Sam, you confessed your feelings for him,"With that, I felt my vision darken, my voice constricted, and the words that had been bottled up inside me finally came streaming out:"Did I also tell you he told me he got tired of our relationship, that he stopped thinking about me since I left?""Yes. That's the exact reason why we started fighting."He gestured to his face. It was only then that I took a good look at his face and saw the injuries equal to the ones Kent had.Now that I knew who he was—the older neighbor boy from my youth—my heart ached for him
