“Kendrick, stop touching me! Let go of me!”
“What’s really going on?” Kendrick approached closer and asked. Although there was still sadness on his face, his eyes that were looking at her were still patient and gentle. “Nia, please tell me.”
Niamh sneered with disdain. “I’ve already said what I have to say, Kendrick. Sober up, please. Think about what you did to me. Do you really think that I’d still love you? I didn’t know that you’d have such a naive moment,” she said with a mocking tone and left immediately after speaking.
Kendrick held in the increasingly violent feeling of heartache. He pulled Niamh back in front of him and stared at her with his scarlet sharp eyes.
“Nia, if these are your true thoughts, you wouldn’t be hiding here and crying alone now.”
“Yes, I am crying, but it’s because I was feeling just a little bit reluctant to leave Jackson. Do you actually think that I’m crying because of you?” she retorted sarcastically. Then, she curled her lips and smiled like a blooming flower instead. “Kendrick, you’re really pitiful. The way you look now is so much alike to me back then. How is it? Does it feel uncomfortable to be played by your beloved? Does your heart hurt a lot? Have you tasted the pain of having thousands of ants biting at your heart?”
Niamh raised her cold and arrogant eyes slightly. Her gaze was belittling, but her smile was bright and moving. Then, her fingertips fell on his delicate cheeks.
“Tsk, your miserable look is really distressing, Mr. Waldburg, but it’s a pity that I’m really happy looking at you like this… Mmpf!”
Without letting Niamh continue her words, Kendrick grabbed the back of Niamh’s head and kissed her lips fiercely.
Niamh was dumbfounded for a moment, and before she could resist, Kendrick had pinned her against the wall.
His kiss was sudden and domineering. While Niamh was not paying attention, he started to attack the area beyond her lips.
Niamh returned to her senses the moment she thought of Lilian whose location was still unknown. She had no other choice but to do her best to break free from Kendrick.
However, his strength was great. He had obviously been triggered by her words and his state at this moment was extremely obsessive.
Niamh almost could not catch her breath, but he did not suffocate her. The gradually deepening kiss also made Niamh slowly give up on resisting. She unconsciously began to indulge in it a little, even closing her eyes in a daze to respond to the kiss.
Her body began to be guided by her feelings, approaching him uncontrollably.
Kendrick felt Niamh’s submission. He opened his slender eyes and glanced at her. A deeper and possessive gaze had risen from the base of his eyes.
He stretched out his hand to take off her clothes. Niamh came back to her senses all of a sudden after feeling a hint of coolness.
She made a cruel decision and bit on Kendrick’s lips.
The taste of blood spread across each other’s lips. While Kendrick was surprised, Niamh took the opportunity to push him away and slapped him in the face.
She looked at the man who had his face turned away and pretended to be angry. “Kendrick, you really are something. You treated me like this regardless of my wishes when I loved you and now that I no longer love you anymore, you still treat me like this. Do you really see me as your plaything?”
Kendrick closed his eyes and turned his depressed-looking handsome face away. With his eyes full of visible pain, he asked, “Why? Why do you give me hope first and then disappoint me afterward? Nia, please don’t be like this. You said you didn’t hate me anymore. You said you’d give me another chance.”
Niamh wiped the bloodstains on her lips with her fingers as if she could care less and sneered at him with the most indifferent gaze. She then proceeded to walk into the dressing room, quickly packing a few sets of daily clothes and necessities before turning away.
Eloise was wandering anxiously in the living room. Sean had hurried back at this moment.
Seeing Niamh pulling her suitcase, about to leave, the couple became even more anxious. “Eveline, do you really want to leave?”
Niamh put on a ruthless mask. “Why should I not leave? Should I stay here and live with the people who have hurt me?”
“Eveline, we understand that you have resentment toward us in your heart, but Kendrick truly—”
“If both of you really see me as your daughter, don’t stop me. What Kendrick is getting now is the consequence of his actions. He didn’t give me any chances when threw me to hell back then, so whatever I’m doing now is just a payback to him. The more miserable he is now, the more satisfied I will be!”
After speaking these words, Niamh pulled her suitcase along and left.
Kendrick looked at the already distant figure as he stood at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor. The light in his eyes was instantly extinguished and replaced by a dark surge.
Niamh had no choice but to move into Felipe’s villa.
In these two days, everything was stable and Felipe did not do anything to her.
She also found out that Felipe would go to Cathy’s room every night to sleep and would only come out late the next day.
Niamh found it a little strange. As such, she entered Cathy’s room and saw the group photo on the bedside table.
She felt truly upset. Cathy had actually committed suicide.
How could that be?
Before Cathy left that day, she clearly said that Felipe had agreed to let her date the boy she liked. As such, should she not have been very happy?
No, she was not happy.
Niamh thought of Cathy’s expression the other day.
Her eyes were red. She had been crying in secret.
Niamh picked up the photo and looked at the dimpled girl in the photo with a happy and sweet smile. Niamh suddenly thought of something as she looked at Cathy’s smiling eyes.
“Could it be that the person Cathy liked was Felipe…”
Right at the moment she had this guess, she felt someone approaching behind her.
Niamh turned around and saw Felipe standing behind her.
“You’ve guessed it right. She liked me.”
She did not expect Felipe to admit it so openly. Niamh put down the frame and said, “It turns out that the person Cathy liked was you. Her pregnancy back then… The child in her belly belonged to you?”
Felipe frowned. While it was unidentifiable whether he was dissatisfied or not, Niamh heard him reply coldly, “So what if it was? Neither the child nor Cathy exist in this world anymore anyway.”
Niamh was really shocked when she received such an answer, but what was even more unexpected was that Felipe had said those words with such an indifferent attitude.
“Huh.” Niamh smiled, pitying Cathy. “Do all children and grandchildren of the Waldburg family like to hurt the person who loves them most?”
“It was merely her wishful thinking. She was the one who took the initiative to climb into my bed. I never forced her.”
“Yes, it’s always the women who are cheap. It’s our fault that we’re blind, causing us to fall in love with self-righteous men like all of you!” Niamh felt ridiculed. “Felipe, you keep saying you like me, yet on the other hand, you have let down and hurt the person who truly loved you. This proves to me more you don’t love me. If you really love me, you would never have treated Cathy like that.”
Niamh glared at him furiously, but when she passed by Felipe, she got pulled back by him.
He seemed to have been touched on his sore spot as a raging storm appeared in his eyes. His eyes then reddened. “Who says I don’t love you? It’s because I love you too much that I’ve become so obsessed and paranoid to this point. Eveline, you say I don’t love you? I’ll prove it to you now just how much I love you!”
As he said this, he used his brute force to throw Niamh, who had been caught off guard, onto the bed. Ignoring Niamh’s resistance, he started to lean over and press his body onto hers.
He approached her menacingly. As he pressed Niamh firmly under him, his strong aura enveloped and trapped her.
However, Niamh did not panic. She grabbed Felipe’s hand calmly and glared at him with a sharp gaze.
“Felipe, will you only be satisfied after you completely overturn my impression of you?
“If you think that you’ve won Kendrick by getting me this way, then let me tell you this. You will never defeat him. Because I’ve loved him ever since the start. I have only had him as the man in my heart!”
Felipe tightened his thin lips and his eyebrows furrowed even more as he listened to Niamh’s words.
Seeing Felipe a little lost in his thoughts, Niamh pushed him away with all her might.
Felipe returned to his senses immediately. He quickly grabbed Niamh’s waist and pushed her under him again. “I won’t give Kendrick the opportunity to have you again. Eveline, you are mine.”
His eyes turned red as if he had become a demon that had lost its rationality. Regardless of Niamh’s wishes, he tore her coat open and lowered his head to her face.
“Don’t touch me, Felipe! You’ve really gone mad!” Niamh resisted him with all her might.
Amidst the chaos, she accidentally pulled on the hairband around Felipe’s wrist.
Felipe seemed to be stunned when he saw the mint green hairband.
Niamh immediately clenched her collar together tightly and got out of Felipe’s imprisoning embrace.
Hearing the hurried footsteps of Niamh escaping the scene, Felipe then slowly recovered his senses.
However, instead of stopping Niamh, he sat on the bed and looked at the hairband in a daze.
He lifted his eyes and saw the group photo on the bedside table. Somehow, his heart started to ache.
He suddenly realized that he was feeling a little unused to it. He was unused to not seeing the girl who said that she liked him and who would come to comfort him when he was in a bad mood.
Cathy would always be the first to appear every time he was in a bad mood. She would go against his eyes that were filled with disgust and rejection, approaching him with a smile on her face.
“Why did you have to look for death? Why on earth?” Felipe closed his eyes. ‘You said you’d stay with me for the rest of my life. Why did you give up halfway?’
He asked himself but could not get the answer no matter what.
…
A day later.
Niamh followed Felipe to Glendale Airport.
She was doing so because she had no choice, but there was still a hint of joy and happiness in her heart.
