《Kiss Me While He Watches》全部章節：第 121 章 - 第 129 章

I was already on my feet, the files dropped on the floor. "Kylie, you have to be specific. What news are you talking about?""They're—They're..." She couldn't even say it.I angrily ended the call and checked my notifications. My acquaintances had been sending me clips and audios.My throat ran dry. Suddenly my legs felt like jelly but I kept standing.I played the first audio I opened. The moment I heard the first sentence, I almost dropped dead.'We both agreed to fake the relationship until I'm voted CEO. It was the only way I could convince my father that I wasn't a slut. I still don't know who leaked that video. Still can't believe I kissed the asshole. God.'That was my voice. It was a recording of me admitting to Vance that my relationship with Marshall was fake.'So...being in a relationship with him is the only way out of this?' Vance's voice followed.'I wish there was another way, Vance. I also don't want this. But like I said, it's just for show. In three months, we'll bre

"I took the video," he confirmed. "And I thought releasing it with you being called his slut would make you hate him and stay away. But no," he clicked his tongue. "You just had to think with your feelings and not your head."His face blurred for some seconds as a result of my tears until I blinked and the tears dropped to my cheeks.The whole time, it was him. He was the reason the first scandal started. Was the reason I got into so many other troubles.God, it had always been him."Jesus, you are evil," I muttered the words weakly, having no more strength left in me. They had all been taken by the shock of the betrayal."I wasn't. I was simply a man who was trying to protect you.""By ruining me!" I took more steps back. "Vance, you were supposed to be my best friend. You were just that before you became my boyfriend. How could you—Oh, my God."I stepped further away, my heart feeling like it was splitting open right there on the floor.Suddenly my legs became too heavy to carry me.

II knew I sounded stupid. He had just made it clear our relationship didn't continue because of the deal.He put both hands on my waist again. "Solayne Krestel, just in case I hadn't been clear enough, I'm in love with you. Madly. Truly. I couldn't even let you go after finding out you betrayed me. What makes you think I would let you go even now? The deal has been dead to me a long time ago. You became the deal. And life with you would be beyond a dream come true."My heart was beating too loud. Too erratic."Marshall..." I called in a hushed tone. "I don't—You are..." I shook my head slowly. "You're a murderer.""I've been working on it." His voice turned desperate. "Now more than ever. Look, I am aware it was Vance who hurt you. Believe me, I have pictured multiple ways to make his life unbearable. But I haven't done any of those, babe. I thought of you and refused to hurt him despite how hard it's been. I'm trying to be less of a monster and become a better man for you. I—I badly

SOLAYNE "Where is he?" I asked Marshall a long time later when we were the only ones left in the room.I had just finished eating, taking my drugs and being checked by the nurses."Who are you talking about?" Marshall tried to keep it cool. He was packing up the plates I ate from."You know who I'm talking about. Where's Vance?"He didn't answer or look at me until he was done packing them. Then he reclined in his seat and pinned me with a cold stare."Where he needs to be."He didn't look apologetic about the fact that he went back on his word and stopped trying to restrain himself. He gave me that look that told me he would do it all over again if he had to.I gulped hard, looked down at the floor for some seconds, then up at him."Where is he?" I asked again. "I want to see him."That pulled a surprised look from him. "Why would you want to see him?""I don't know; maybe because he almost killed me?" I fisted my hands. "Vance ruined my life. More than once. Yet I tried to igno

SOLAYNE My palms were sweaty. I was so nervous I couldn't keep myself still.I was seated in the boardroom with every member of the board waiting. The only people left were Dad and Brielle.I was sure Dad would be here soon, but I couldn't say the same for Brielle. She'd been very distant since I left the company. I expected him to hand everything over to her immediately after I left two months ago, but he didn't. And over time, I was told she stopped showing up.It was last night when Dad called, telling me to be here for the board meeting. I had no doubt he had called me here to officially end my relationship with the company. This was why I was so nervous.I almost didn't want to show up; but Marshall convinced me and assured me he would wait in the car. So from time to time, I looked at the window, knowing my husband was out there waiting even though I couldn't see him from here.Dad walked in and everyone stood to their feet. The knot in my stomach became tighter.I wouldn't
