Bang!
Felipe pulled the trigger without hesitation.
He had already made up his mind to stop Kendrick from destroying the foundation he built and his enormous power.
Since he had been exposed and even had a video taken of him, he should take care of this quickly and straightforwardly.
Plus, he had been annoyed at Kendrick for a very long time.
This annoyance lasted for more than ten years.
Perhaps it started when Old Master Waldburg began to pamper Kendrick and abandoned him in F Country to fend for himself.
Kendrick walked downstairs and saw a red dot on Ken’s temple.
He yelled out, “Get down!”
Ken lowered his head reflexively after he heard that. Then, he heard the sound of the window smashing and a bullet flying above his head.
When Felipe saw this from the magnifier, he furrowed his brows together.
He eventually noticed that the man on the sofa was not Kendrick. Since Ken had his back to him, Felipe only saw his hair and side profile. That was why he mistook him for Kendrick.
After Felipe saw Kendrick safe and sound, he put away his sniper rifle with waning interest. “Well, for the sake of our relationship, I’ll let you live another day.”
He walked back to his car slowly and left.
Even though he minded that Niamh was around Kendrick when she was pregnant, he was sure Kendrick would not do anything to her.
Despite Kendrick pretending like he did not care about Niamh, Felipe could tell that Kendrick was still missing and obsessing over her.
Therefore, he decided to grant him one last day out of benevolence and allowed him to spend some time with the woman he loved before he died.
One day later, he would make Kendrick leave and never return.
Kendrick helped the wounded Ken back to his room before cleaning up the glass shards in the living room.
Niamh was on the second floor when she heard the sound of glass shattering just now. However, she had no idea what happened. She could only feel her heartbeat accelerating.
She called out to Kendrick, but he ignored her.
He finally opened the door and walked in when it was nightfall. He was holding some food in his hands.
This scene was familiar. It made her remember the time Kendrick had imprisoned her on the island a long time ago.
However, this time, she did not hate him and could not go on a hunger strike out of stubbornness.
She had to take care of her body and protect the little life that was growing in her belly.
Kendrick did not say anything when he saw Niamh eating the food. Then, he brought over some pajamas for Niamh.
“How long do you plan on keeping me here?” Niamh asked calmly.
Kendrick looked at her coldly. “Tell me when you’re going to abort the child in your stomach first.”
“I told you, I won’t give up on this child even if I die.”
“Is that sinister man worthy of all of this?” he asked with disappointment and jealousy.
Niamh looked into his eyes and said firmly, “Yes.”
She answered without any hesitation, causing an ice pick to crash against Kendrick’s heart.
He suppressed his rage and scoffed. “I already have the evidence of Felipe’s illegal trade business. Very soon, he’ll lose his reputation and have nothing left. He won’t be able to give you a happy and safe life. This child will be nothing but a burden to you.”
Niamh’s eyes were firm and unbending. “This child is not a burden. It’s the product of me and the man I love.”
‘The man she loves.’
‘The product of love.’
Kendrick lifted his brow, his suppressed anger overpowering his rationality and calmness like a strong tide.
He rushed forward to Niamh and trapped her in front of him without caring about anything. “He’s not the man you love. I am! Eveline Montgomery, the man you love is me! Did you forget how you used to think about me and wait for me day and night back then? I won’t allow you to fall in love with another man!”
He emphasized sternly. He had completely lost his cool.
His charming eyes were overwhelmed by jealousy, making him lose all reason and composure as he commanded for her to only love him.
Kendrick lifted her beautiful face when he saw her not saying anything. He stared straight at her with red eyes and repeated.
“Do you hear me? Eveline Montgomery, you can only love me. I won’t allow you to have another man in your heart. You can only have me in here!”
He was pointing at her heart when suddenly, he pulled her coat and kissed her on the lips forcefully.
Niamh was worried that her child would be affected. She tried to push away the man who had lost all control, but it was to no avail.
Kendrick pressed her against the wall and used one hand to trap both of her hands. Then, he effortlessly trapped her in his embrace.
With another hand, he pinched her face that was trying to turn away. He was trying to get something out of her without a care for how she felt.
“Answer me. Tell me you love me.” He narrowed his eyes and commanded her.
Niamh finally got the chance to take a breath as she hungrily gasped for air.
Kendrick kissed her again when she did not answer him. Once again, he asked, “Are you going to tell me, hmm?”
Niamh glared at him angrily. She did not say anything the entire time.
Kendrick carried Niamh to the bed when he saw her stubbornness. After that, he pressed his body against hers.
He ripped apart her clothes. Niamh felt that Kendrick was losing his mind from jealousy. At this moment, she could feel his anger and dissatisfaction. However, she needed to stop him.
“Kendrick, if my child gets hurt in any way, I’ll kill myself in front of you!”
Kendrick stopped in his tracks after he heard that. It was as if his breathing had also stopped.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Niamh’s firm gaze in disbelief. “You’re willing to risk your life for his spawn? I guess you really love him a lot.”
Niamh’s eyes were red as she held back the tears. “Yes, I love him a lot. I love the child’s father very much, so don’t force me unless you want to watch me die.”
“Why?” Kendrick could not accept this. His warm fingertips caressed her eyebrow. “Why did it become like this? Eveline, you loved me. You loved me so much.”
He was confused, but at the same time, he was exhausted.
Then, he leaned down and lay down with Niamh in his arms. His deep voice blossomed in her ears. “Eveline, did you forget how you used to cook for me and wait for me every day to come home? Did you forget how you would call my name so gently and how you would look at me with so much admiration in your eyes…
“Why did you fall in love with a man like Felipe? Is it because he saved your life?”
His voice was barely above a whisper when he said the last sentence.
Niamh looked at the ceiling as tears rolled down her cheeks silently.
She lifted her hand to caress Kendrick’s hair when she realized that he had fallen into a deep slumber.
‘Kendrick, stop torturing yourself like this.
‘I love you and I’ve not forgotten the admiration I had for you.
‘When I thought I wanted to seek revenge on you and to see you unhappy for the rest of your life, I realized that I couldn’t let you go.
‘The hate that was birthed from all of this was just a contradiction from the love I felt for you.’
Niamh felt her heart getting more and more painful. She caressed Kendrick’s cheek softly and said as her heart broke into pieces, “You dummy, how could I not love you? I love you so much, and because I love you, I have to keep this child. You’re the child’s father.”
After Niamh said that, she noticed the man stirring.
Niamh felt her heart skipping a beat.
Had Kendrick been awake the entire time? Had he just been pretending to sleep?
Did he hear everything she said just now?
Niamh did not know how to handle what was going on right now, but she realized that Kendrick was only changing his position. He had not been pretending to sleep and did not hear what she said just now.
When she saw this, Niamh felt disappointed, but at the same time, she was also a little scared.
‘Actually, I was hoping that you’d find out the truth.
‘But I’m scared that our daughter will be in danger again if you knew.’
