Felipe held Niamh’s hand with pain and solemnity in his eyes. “But Vera, you’re not tied to him anymore. Please don’t be fooled by this man. He’s only getting close to you because he wants to avenge his mistress.”
Niamh could not help but doubt his words, but Felipe continued on.
“Vera, if you don’t believe what I’ve said, you can ask your parents or you can check online. The name you had when you were married to him was Niamh Delgado. You can even search about it on the internet.”
“Niamh Delgado…”
Niamh repeated her past name gently, experiencing an inexplicable familiarity in her subconscious.
Afterward, she searched the internet and found the things that Felipe had told her about. She found out about Kendrick hating her, cheating on her, and loving only Nevaeh…
The more she read, the stronger the anger in Niamh’s eyes grew.
‘It turns out that I really had a relationship with you.
‘It turns out I was trampled and hurt by you.’
Niamh clenched her fists and looked at the picture of Kendrick displayed on the phone screen. The man was clearly very handsome and attractive, but the anger in Niamh’s eyes had escalated into hatred.
Felipe watched the changes in Niamh’s expression silently, and after seeing the sorrow on her face, the corners of his lips lifted without a trace.
The next day, Felipe announced his marriage to Niamh on the internet and that their wedding will be held three days later.
Eloise and Ava were invited to accompany Niamh to the bridal shop to try on wedding dresses. Although Eloise felt it was strange that Niamh and Felipe were going to get married so suddenly, since Niamh was willing, she had no reason to rain on her parade.
Niamh walked into the fitting room and stood in front of the huge mirror. When she was about to take off her clothes and try on her wedding dress, a dark figure suddenly barged in from the side.
The moment Niamh noticed him, the man quickly stepped forward, carried her by the waist from behind, and covered her mouth gently.
Niamh immediately resisted and elbowed the person behind her.
The man did not block her blow but wrapped his arms around her. “Nia, it’s me.”
The man’s deep and thick voice slipped into her ears.
Niamh was taken aback for a moment as she took in a vaguely familiar scent of cedarwood.
“Nia, don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you. I just don’t want you to make a decision that you’ll regret for the rest of your life,” Kendrick said softly with a hint of humble request in his tone. “Please, will you come with me?”
Niamh’s beautiful eyebrows frowned. “Let me go first.”
When Kendrick heard what she said, he let go of her even though he was reluctant.
Niamh turned around and saw the handsome face that was very close to hers. The fire in her eyes lit up in an instant.
Unexpectedly, he saw the flame of hatred in Niamh’s eyes and was a little startled.
The personality that was in control of her body at that moment merely hated him and avoided him, so why was there suddenly such a strong hatred?
He did not overthink it and grabbed Niamh’s hand. “Nia, don’t marry Felipe. He’s not the guy you see on the surface. He’s just using you. You don’t love him at all. You’ll regret marrying him—”
Slap!
Before Kendrick finished his sentence, he was interrupted by Niamh’s sudden slap.
She did not show any mercy and gave him a big slap across the cheek.
Kendrick’s handsome profile looked lost.
Even so, he was not angry. Even if the woman in front of him stabbed him with a knife, he would not stop her.
“Regret marrying Felipe? Have you looked at the mirror? Shouldn’t I regret having married you?” Niamh asked coldly.
Kendrick looked at her with his big round eyes. What he saw was the cold look on her face and her piercingly cold eyes.
“Nia?”
“Shut up,” Niamh scolded angrily, “Don’t pretend to be affectionate in front of me. Felipe told me everything, you inhuman scumbag!”
When Kendrick heard what she said, it sent a chill down his spine.
He did not know what Felipe told Niamh, but he could see that the hatred toward him in Niamh’s eyes was serious and so abhorrent.
“Kendrick, how could you wish to kill me for such a vicious mistress?!”
‘What?’
Kendrick furrowed his eyebrows deeply. ‘Kill her?’
He never wanted to kill her.
“Nia, Felipe lied to you. I never wanted to hurt you.”
“You never wanted to hurt me? Haven’t you hurt me already?” Niamh was blunt and straight to the point. “Not only did you hurt me, but you even killed my own flesh and blood so that you could get away with your mistress happily! And what about the part where your family made me break up with Felipe? I’ve never loved you, let alone got married to you. Who are you trying to fool?”
As Niamh questioned him, Kendrick was at a loss.
He could not deny that he had hurt her.
However, when he heard all of what she said, he realized how serious it was.
Felipe had lied to Niamh and told her that Niamh and he were in love!
Before he came to look for Niamh, he had prepared himself for her cold treatment toward him but did not expect that things would develop in a worse direction than how he imagined.
He could accept Niamh’s hatred toward him, even if she hated him to his bones.
However, the only thing he could not accept was her erasing the memory of her deep love for him.
The pain in his heart was like death by a thousand cuts. Kendrick lost control of his emotions in an instant. His eyes turned red while the corners of his eyes burned.
He grasped Niamh by her shoulders. “Nia, you have no feelings for Felipe! The person you love is me! I’m the only man for you!”
“I’ve never loved you. The person I’ve loved since the beginning has always been Felipe. You were the one who tried to break us up,” Niamh retorted in a cold voice and had a hostile look in her eyes.
Kendrick felt as if he was going crazy, and his initial calmness had long been tossed out the window.
He hugged Niamh like a madman and kept insisting, saying, “No, Nia! You don’t love Felipe, you love me! From the first time we met when we were young, I’m the only man who has had your heart!”
Niamh pushed him hard. “Let me go, Kendrick! I wouldn’t fall in love with a cold-blooded scumbag like you! Let me go!”
Zip!
The curtain of the fitting room suddenly opened.
When Ava and Eloise heard the sounds, they hurried in. Upon seeing Kendrick holding Niamh as soon as they opened the curtain, Ava hurried forward to pull him away.
“Kendrick, you scumbag! What are you doing here? Let go of Niamh right now! Let go of her!”
Ava scolded him and pulled Kendrick away with force.
“You scumbag! When will you stop torturing Niamh?!”
Kendrick was stunned by Ava’s scolding.
‘Torture.’
Was he torturing her?
No.
He promised never to torture her.
When Ava saw that Kendrick was lost in a daze, she pulled him away and shielded Niamh to her side. “Niamh, are you all right? Why is this scumbag here?”
Niamh glared at Kendrick. “I don’t know how he got in. I don’t want to see him ever again.”
“Did you hear that, Kendrick? Niamh doesn’t want to see you ever again. Get out of here!” Ava scolded him bluntly and did not give Kendrick any leeway.
After being scolded by Ava, Kendrick suddenly walked up to her. “You’re Nia’s best friend, right? Tell her who she has loved all these years.”
Kendrick’s sudden anxiousness surprised Ava.
She glanced at Niamh who was frowning and immediately answered, “The man who Niamh loves the most has always been Felipe! Niamh has never loved you, you scumbag! So get lost!”
Ava’s answer dumbfounded Kendrick.
Afterward, Niamh sneered, “If you’re done with your act, you can get lost now, Kendrick. And don’t you dare show your face in front of me ever again.”
Kendrick’s heart was shattered when he heard her indifferent and emotionless expulsion.
