After being dragged to her room, the servants pushed her in and left. Rita kneeled down and allowed the emotions she had been holding all this while to fall. She wept bitterly, cursing the day she met Liam and agreed to become his wife.
It was when she was in her final year in the university that she had met Liam, back then he was the crush of all the ladies and Rita had secretly loved him without telling him. So when her marriage was arranged with Liam, her joy knew no bounds. She immediately agreed.
But now, she was the biggest fool to be done so. She could have rejected the marriage but her love for him blinded her and preventing her from seeing the kind of person he was.
Even after their marriage and on the night of the wedding, Liam did not even spend the night with her. He was totally disgusted by her, yet she kept deceiving herself that night he might come to love her as they spend more time together in marriage.
“He won’t rest till he torture me, and see me in pain.” She said miserably while still crying.
But now that she had been given a second chance, she would never allow him to succeed in torturing her and causing her more pains. So she had to find a possible way to make him divorce her and let her go. She would never make the same mistake in her past life of him killing her and pushing her down the stairs.
It was now night, at the Wilson villa. While light illuminated the whole place, Rita still lay on her bed crying. She was unable to sleep, and all she ever thought was how to divorce Liam and get away from him as soon as possible.
Her eyes were swollen and red as a result of crying for too long, yet she was not bothered about that.
The banging of her door made the realization to so she got up and walked to open the door.
Miss Chloe came in afterwards. “Are you okay madam. I was so worried about you.” She was saying.
Rita did not and we her and went back to the bed instead.
“Please say something madam, I am really worried about you. You look pale. Should I get you food to eat?” Miss Chloe said as she sat on the edge of the bed with her.
“I’m not hungry.” Rita managed to say.
“Please.” Miss Chloe was saying.”
“Please leave, I told you am not hungry.” Rita screamed, so Miss Chloe immediately walked away knowing the situation Rita was in.
Soon afterward, she fell asleep and had terrible nightmares of the night when she was pushed off the stairs by Liam. She woke up several times in the night rolling on the bed and could not sleep properly, finally she managed to sleep.
The next morning, Rita woke up earlier than the normal time she used to wake up. Still hunted by the nightmares she had, the door was pushed open and Liam walked in.
He saw the terrible state she was in, and also the tears in her eyes. He felt pity for her, but the thought that she was responsible for Joey’s death, made his heart bitter for her.
She wept and shivered from time to time, unaware that Liam had gotten into the room and was watching her closely. She was indeed suffering, but deep down he was determined not to let her go.
Was it solely on the fact that she was responsible for Joey’s death or that he now had a feelings for her, he was confused and did not know which to pick.
He furrowed his brows, and he recalled the pathetic state he had met Joey after she got the accident.
“All this is her fault, she deserves no sympathy.” He lamented as he gained apathy and bowed his head.
Then he coldly shouted her name, “Rita.”
Hearing his cold voice, Rita was broken out of her thought and stared at him behind her back. He saw the way she stared at him with terror and shrank herself more to the bed.
“What are you busy doing here?” He asked.
She kept quiet and stared at nothing in particular. After a while and she did not reply him back, he said again.
“In five minutes, make your way to the living room.”
She stared at him and said, “why should I?”
“What do you mean why, are you not going to come down. Anyways grandpa is coming today.” He said.
Hearing that grandpa was coming today, her mood lighten and her dull eyes brighten up.
Although Liam was normally with an unapproachable behavior and cold aura, his respect for his grandpa was known throughout this villa.
Therefore, Rita thought grandpa came at the right time. He was the only way for her to succeed in divorcing Liam, because he knew if she asked for grandpa’s help she might be able to force Liam to divorce her.
She had once saved grandpa’s life , and back then in order to repay her kindness on saving his life, grandpa agreed to help her one day if she ever needed his favor and help, so she thought this was the right time to do so.
She had never thought that she would one day ask for the favor from grandpa, but now what she wanted to divorce Liam and leave him, she must do so.
If grandpa ever succeeded in getting them divorced, she would leave this villa forever. Now, she silently prayed that she succeed.
Imagine starting her life anew after leaving him, she smiled.
With Liam still standing and looking at her , she got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to take her bath.
She stared at her self in the mirror and saw how bad looking, thin and pale she was in. After starring for a while, she turned back to Liam.
“You can go now, I’ll join you soon.” She told him.
Liam said nothing in return and walked away downstairs.
One minutes later.
She had taken her bath and came back to the room to do a simple makeup. Soon afterwards she went downstairs. She felt the pain from the injury she had in her left leg and walked slowly.
As soon as she got downstairs, there was no sight of grandpa, she found only Liam sitting down on the sofa.
There were uneasiness in her eyes.
“Hasn’t grandpa arrived yet? I thought you said he had arrived?” She threw.
No answer from Liam, she made her way to the other sofa to sit down but was forcefully dragged by Liam which made her ending up in his arm.
At once she inhaled his manly cologne which she was already used to, but because she already hated him, she also hated the smell of it. She tried to free herself from him, but he kept on holding her forcefully.
“What are you doing, Liam. Let me go!” She struggled to remove his arms from her body but instead she was hugged by him.
“A quick reminder. I heard that no contribution has been made by your dad to the Brown family. Rumor says that he is in a bad situation.” He smiled and said to her.
She became alarmed with the mention of her father by him. What games was he trying to play now?
She glanced at him and saw him looking at her, the moment their eyes met she felt a cold shivers run through her whole body. Quickly, she took her face away from his.
Liam also looked away, while Rita was left nervous. She knew him too well, and now that he had mentioned her father and the terrible state he was in, surely there was a reason behind that. And now she wondered what it was.
Breaking the silence between them she asked, “What is it that you want Liam?”
He finally spoke up, “ If I eventually take the capital from the group of the brown, you know the situation your parents will be right. And now their fate is in your hands. If you want your parents to continue living a decent life, I will advise that you don’t utter anything to grandpa Jim. Otherwise….”
Afterward he smiled, which made Rita almost loosing her mind. She scratched her palms until she felt droplets or blood oozing out of it.
It seems Liam knew what she wanted to do and now using her parents as a scapegoat, she knew she had to give in to it.
Rita felt her pulse freeze at Liam's sleek, appealing smile.Although it didn't look like he gave her an option, he did.She could give in and make a compromise.Rita's hands were squeezed into fists.She was willing to make a compromise, but she had to accept the bad circumstances.Liam was so pathetic that he would immediately let the Brown family to push her parents into a difficult scenario as soon as she brought up the subject of divorce to Grandpa.Her parents were forced out of the house and subjected to bullying by her uncle and his family in a former life as a result of her.She has to stay away from the catastrophe in this life.She could wait a bit longer for the divorce.Until she was strong enough to support her parents and herself, it wouldn't be too late to get a divorce.Now that she can't get a divorce, she must ask the man for certain favors in order to be fair."I won't mention divorce in front of grandpa, Jim," she said, grinning, "but I want the land in West Blue
"You've always been caring for me, and I certainly need to share your worries." With a gentle smile, Charlotte tightened her arm around Rita and whispered, "Rita, you have a good chance now." I'll assist you in adding the medication to Liam's milk.""Now?" Rita appeared apprehensive. "I'm a little uneasy."Rita was shoved downstairs by Charlotte, who said, "Relax. I've got you covered.Rita grimaced inwardly at this.Charlotte said just that in her past life.Liam was informed by Charlotte that Rita made her do it.Rita became the clown of the Brown family after Liam, in a fit of wrath, gave the project to someone else instead of the Brown Group.And Charlotte triumphed over her biological mother and gained the family's approval.Rita was lost in contemplation when Charlotte pulled her over to the table and sat her down.Charlotte searches for topics nonstop to avoid awkward silence.But other from the odd smile from Rita, Liam hardly spoke at all.The man gracefully consumed his own
"Bastard, let go of me, Uh ... Uh..."Rita's words became jumbled when a big hand suddenly smothered her mouth.She peered at the man on her body under the dim lights, fear in her eyes.How was he going about it?Was his purpose in seeing her to fulfill his erotic desires and have sex?Not at all!She vowed never to endure the agony and disgrace of asphyxia once more!With her red eyes, Rita strained furiously to break free from the man's hold."You can relax. I could never intend to do that to you." The man scowled and said, "I will let you go, but the premise is that... can you calm down and listen to me?" as if he could read her thoughts.Rita was perplexed. She gave a firm nod.She swiftly jumped out of bed after pushing the man away after he released his grip.She moved as quickly as she could to the farthest corner, staying well away from the man, despite her left leg hurting and making her perspire."Maybe she was afraid of that horrible night from her past life. Rita was like
Rita's eyes were wide open as she noticed the man pressing on her.Enraged, she gave the man a slap. "Don't touch me!"Give a clap!A forceful smack echoed across the space.The man's face flushed."Damn you!" Liam's eyes were as cold as a razor blade as he grabbed her throat.Rita felt her throat tingle and her face hurt so much.Her tiny hands clawed at the large hand, attempting to gain a small space to breathe, but the more she fought to break free, the harder the man's hand clawed. Her face went purple from the lack of air."Ahem ... Ahem .. let go of me!"With a frustrated look, the man threw the woman aside.He ought to be at ease, but why could this woman always make him feel agitated?He thought he was just being nice at first, but little did he know that this foolish woman would treat him badly.Asshat!"I'm not that mad to have sex with a woman like you!" The man gave a chilly snort and gave the door a sour expression.Rita's tense nerves loosened as she stared at the close
On the other side of the street."He said he will be coming soon, Liam. Let's hold off a bit longer. Liam was standing next to Jacob when Jacob shook his phone and noticed that he had been glancing at something.He squinted and saw the elderly woman apprehending Rita."This woman deserves it," Jacob said with a smack of his lips. "Are you satisfied now, Liam?"Deadpan on the man's face. It is impossible to see exactly what his feelings were.Every day, the man gave a lackluster response to pointless queries.Jacob was therefore not taken aback. He watched their quarrel as a hobby, leaning his head on his seat.In the Browns' backyard "Don't touch my daughter!"Mason Brown yelled quickly as he saw Rita encircled by the maids.Then he and his spouse Zoey hurried over, shielding Rita behind their backs and preventing anyone from getting close.Rita felt so warm inside that tears spilled out of her eyes as she looked at the parents in front of her.Her parents would, of course, always lo
"What?"He couldn't believe his ear. Liam was asking for Rita's information! He stared at Liam, looking astonished.But when Liam turned to look at him coldly, he flinched, patted his chest and said, "No problem, I'll handle it.""Good, send me all materials in three days," Said Liam, raising his lips with satisfaction. But Jacob was sour-faced.Three days?'He wasn't a superman, how could he accomplish it in such a short time? No matter how difficult the task was, glancing at Liam's cruel face, Jacob held back what he wanted to say.***In the evening, feeling exhausted, Rita returned home.The moment she stepped into the living room, she saw Liam was gracefully seated and havingdinner in the dining room.He took a sip of soup and frowned, "Mrs. Davis, did we change the cook?""No, we didn't.""Why does it taste so bad and differ from before? It's hard to swallow!"He put down his chopsticks in displeasure and frowned again.Mrs. Davis came forth to have a look at the soup with conc
Liam drew himself closer in a sudden. Rita subconsciously ducked back. Her heart beat fast because of fluster. Seeing that Liam was only looking at her, Rita relaxed herself a little."I'm still the same Rita, the only difference is that.."She paused for a moment, and looked up to meet his cold eyes without blinking, "I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE. I want to divorce you. I want to leave here!"Her voice was not loud but full of determination.Looking at the determined look on Rita's face, Liams face got somber. It wasn't the first time that Rita had said things like this. In the past, he was never affected by such words. But today, he felt inexplicably annoyed."Oh, I don't need your love!" Liam snorted and pushed her away, "But if you want to get a divorce ... I'm afraid it's not that easy." His eyesmet hers. Tension arose in the room."Liam, Liam, are you still listening?" not until he heard his grandpa's voice from the telephone did he turn his cold eyes away from Rita's face. He hid
Worrying that people in the villa could not hear her, Yolanda Evans intentionally yelled louder,"Rita! How could you bully me like this? You are going too far!"The servants in Nash family, without knowing what really happened here just now, began to look at Rita strangely.Some of them even started pointing fingers at her.In face of this, Rita kept serene.She walked up to Yolanda, smiled politely, with shining light in her watery eyes."Yolanda, I did not even touch you. How could you say that I bullied you? "You ... you..." Yolanda licked her dark red lip. She looked guilty when she was being questioned by Rita. In order not to lose face in front of everyone, she continued to blame on Rita, "You cannot shirk responsibility! It's impossible that I hit the floor for no reason andaccused you then.""I believe you are more clear than everyone about what really happened just now." Rita smiled and started to look at Yolanda gravely.Yolanda's eyes darted around. She stammered a few w
