Chapter 40
Under the dim light, he rubbed the scar in my palm. A rare trace of tenderness appeared in his eyes.”
That fleeting warmth made me dazed for a moment.
I couldn’t help but ask the question buried deep inside me, “You’re not disgusted by it?“}
He smiled and shook his head, “Why would I be? You’re amazing, you’re the most special woman I’ve ever met. Will we meet again? I really hope so.“}
Because of those words, I submitted a request to leave the organization after I returned. I endured cruel torture, I rolled over nail boards and had my limbs broken.
Half a year later, we met again at a banquet.
I was the eldest daughter of the Monroe Family, he was the heir of the Aiken Family. We naturally fell in love. And soon came the engagement between our families.
I thought I had found happiness for life. But I didn’t expect to receive only lies. Only betrayal from the one I loved.
Everything my father and I suffered, Clayton will repay it tenfold, a hundred fold!
After two hours of rest, I recovered enough strength. I picked the lock with a hairpin and slipped back into the bedroom in the dark.
The moment the light came on, I froze. Everything that once belonged to me had been cleared out.
In its place were baby products filled the entire room. The walls were repainted a soft sky blue. The king–size bed was gone, replaced by a crib and rocking chair.”
I turned to leave, but Angelina suddenly appeared at the door. She waved at me with a smile, “Sienna, are you looking for your things? Sorry, Clayton already converted this room into the nursery. He threw out a lot of junk during renovation, maybe you can try the trash bin?” She smiled proudly.
I stared coldly at her, I stepped closer with every word, “Stealing someone’s secondhand man, does that make you proud? Angelina, I truly treated you as a friend, but today I finally see who you really are.“}
I added, “You know exactly where that heart came from. Do you really think clinging to Clayton means you’ve won it all?”
A flicker of panic crossed her eyes, her smile faded. She pretended, “Sienna, what are you saying? I don’t understand.“}
I sneered, “You don’t? Then let me make it clear, whether or not you marry Clayton, anything I want back, I will take back at all costs! You could steal him only because I didn’t care… But some things, you couldn’t handle them even if you tried. That’s my final warning to you!” Having torn off her mask, Angelina stopped pretending. Her eyes turned vicious while said, “So what if I took your dad’s heart? Do you have proof?”
“You say you don’t want Clayton, but you hate me to death inside, don’t you? Too bad! Hate all you want, you’re destined to lose! I’m the woman Clayton truly loves!” As soon as she finished, her face changed dramatically.”
She began to smashed everything in the room. After she heard footsteps approach she suddenly threw herself on the floor and began to cried hysterically, “Sienna… even if you’re angry, you shouldn’t hit me… You said I was your best friend, how could you treat me like this…” Clayton stormed in and pulled her into his arms. His eyes were bloodshot with rage.}]
He turned and kicked me hard in the chest. He shouted, “Angelina was kind enough to let you out and this is how you repay her? Sienna, you’re beyond saving!”
I crashed into the crib with full force, until it collapsed. The pieces rained down on me.!!
I laughed bitterly, “I’m beyond saving? Clayton, do you even hear yourself? I’m not blind, I don’t need you to tell me what’s what!“&
All I got in return was his furious roar, “Sienna, I know your father’s death traumatized you. Before the wedding, let’s just not see each other anymore!”
