บททั้งหมดของ Their Love Is for Those Who Hurt Me: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Leta said, "Darling, there's something I've been discussing with your parents for the last couple of days. Zachary's death anniversary is coming up soon, and we were thinking of visiting his grave. "Even though he wronged you back then, your parents raised him for so many years, and I've grown up with him as well. "Most importantly, we're worried that seeing him will upset you, so we figured that it would be better if just the three of us went. Are you—" "Go ahead. I won't be going," I interjected. Leta couldn't help but curl her lips upward when she noticed how receptive I was. She leaned in and said, "I knew that my husband was the most understanding of all. Have a good rest at home, then." I maintained a straight face as I smoothly evaded Leta's attempt to offer an appeasing kiss. Casually, I gave a perfunctory response. "We're out in public. Let's hurry on and get home." I turned my face away, pretending to be embarrassed. Meanwhile, I had balled my fists up so tight th

I had no choice but to remain silent so that I would not expose myself. I did not want Leta to notice me right now. She approached me, step by step. Clearly, she had begun to have suspicions. Since I did not answer her, she lifted her hand slightly in my direction, attempting to yank my mask off my face. Fortunately, Janet, whom I had bribed beforehand, rushed over just in time. She grabbed Leta's hand to stop her as she explained, "Ms. Quinlan, this is a new cleaner for the villa. I'm in charge of guiding him. He has the flu, so he's wearing a mask today." Leta lowered her hand, then chided, "Janet, you are an elderly woman yourself. I shall spare you the nasty lecture. Get him to leave. Don't come over if he's got the flu."Anna is still young, and Zachary has just recovered from the flu last week. I don't want the flu to be passed around!" From Leta's natural-sounding tone, I could hear how familiar she was with this "family". On top of that, the fact that she knew a maid

Third-person POV: Leta's face fell instantly. She exclaimed in utter disbelief, "What do you mean? How can that possibly be?"Joseph and Roselynn turned pale gradually, too. They scurried toward the butler, surrounding him.In a stern voice, they said, "That's right. The drug dosages in his food and drink were high enough to knock him out till tomorrow morning. How could he have found out?" The butler couldn't explain it all in just a few words. So, he presented them with the gift box and blurted, "Mr. Harvey woke up out of nowhere after just a little while. He left after saying that something came up at the hospital, leaving just this gift box behind and telling me to open it after 10:00 pm. "When I opened it on the dot, I saw that it actually contains—"Before the butler could finish his sentence, Leta flipped the cover of the gift box over in exasperation, revealing a large family portrait. To their shock, it was the photo that hung in the living room of Zachary's villa.

"You're back!" Zachary exclaimed. Leta shoved him away, only to see him grinning at her. But now, she felt extremely irked by the sight of his smile. "Why are you hanging around here? Take Anna back with you. You should very well know that this is not only what I want, but it's also what your parents want." The smile on Zachary's face stiffened instantly. He grabbed tightly onto Leta's sleeve, trying his best to explain. "Leta, I just let my impulses get the better of me back then. I really didn't mean it. Haven't I been living a quiet and decent life with Anna all these years?" Hearing that, Leta blew up instantly. She shoved Zachary's hand away, questioning furiously, "A quiet and decent life? "Zachary, did you think that I was completely unaware of the taunting messages you sent to Harvey? Or did you think that I wouldn't be able to find evidence of your drug purchase when I was drunk back then? "Are you sure you didn't mean to drug me, or was that something you had been

Leta did not flinch. Instead, she endured the slap, her cheek flushing red. "To put it plainly, you were the one who chose to cheat on me and betray me. When we got married, you declared that I would be the only love of your life. "You said that you will be there to protect me moving forward, as I had suffered too much at the orphanage. But you were the one who brought about all the suffering that followed. "Leta, the Harvey who has blind faith in you no longer exists. Do not come here ever again. If you do, I will call the cops on you." I had never seen such despair in Leta's eyes as she looked at me. Tears pooled in her eyes as a memory seemed to cross her mind. "Harvey Groff is Leta Quinlan's greatest love. I was wrong. I forgot what Harvey once said to me." With that, Leta left. I figured that I would never see her again. My parents arrived at noon the next day, though I should probably refer to them as "Mr. and Mrs. Groff" now. My mother took me by the hand and cho
