Even if the man didn’t meet her expectations, she wouldn’t lose anything.The man clenched his fists behind him even tighter. “I kidnapped and brought you here. Aren’t you worried that I want your life?”Fia let out a laugh and took another step.The distance between them became even shorter… So short that they could hear each other’s heartbeat.She raised his hand and boldly put her hand on his chest.“If you wanted my life, you wouldn’t let me live until now.”“Maybe it’s because I’m not in a hurry?” the man said.“Is that so?” Fia put down her hand and said, “It must be because I have something you need.”The man looked at the woman in front of him. She was already twenty-three and was someone else’s wife, but she still looked like a girl.He had noticed her a long time ago. Although she did look pretty, she had no talent at all. He didn’t expect that she had all his attention now. “I will help you with your revenge. You will owe me one,” he said slowly.“Of course.” Fia
Fia asked in a surprised tone, “He helped you?”Britney knew that the man would observe everything that was happening in this room. She then said obediently, “Correct. My master has given me back my original appearance.”Fia then sat down on the chair next to her and asked, “Is your face really going to recover?”“My master did this for me. It won’t be a problem,” Britney said before pausing. “Have you ever thought of changing your face and living a completely different life?”“Another face?” Fia’s expression turned even colder. “He told you to ask me this?”“Not him. I’m asking this myself,” Britney said.Fia sneered. “Why don’t you change your face? Even if your face is ruined, you can always ask a good plastic surgeon to change your face. Get a new face and start a new life… You can get an even prettier face! Maybe even choose one that Peter likes!”Britney’s lips slowly lost their color. “How can I use her face when I have so much grudge against her?”“You love Peter, don’t
“Have you gone mad, Conrad?!” They hadn’t seen Eileen for two days, but she had already lost so much weight.Silas looked at Conrad’s dark expression and got out of the car and said, “How did you get in here, Eileen?”“Think I’ll let you marry Esme and hurt Fia again?!” Eileen pushed Silas away and wanted to get into the car.Tiger quickly got there and held Eileen back together with another bodyguard.She couldn’t even move as she screamed with tears rolling down her cheeks. “You can’t hurt her again!”“Conrad! Is it not enough that you’ve hurt her so much in the past?! If you do this, how could she have the strength to keep on living anymore!”Conrad didn’t even budge as he sat there with a cold expression on his face as he recalled everything between them.After they got married, she would joyfully greet him home.After he asked for a divorce, she slowly became colder. She smiled less and talked less too.Then her mother and grandmother’s death angered her so much, and she
Fia smiled. “Beautiful.”The man then asked, “Is it romantic?”Fia froze. “Romantic?”The man enjoyed the view of her trying her best not to cry. He lowered his head and whispered, “Do you look forward to it?”The tears in her eyes rolled out.She then remembered how Conrad gave her two rings. The first ring was for her to become his girlfriend.The second ring was for him to ask for her hand in marriage.He even said that he’d give her the wedding he owed her.One ring for being the girlfriend, one ring for the marriage proposal, and there was one more for the marriage, right?The wedding ring, the wedding itself… He owed her that much.But she didn’t get any of them… Instead, he was going to give all of them to Esme.“You’re crying?” the man teased. “Looks like you did look forward to it.”Fia wiped the tears away from her face. “What’s so funny about this?! Haven’t you ever had a time when your efforts all resulted in nothing?”“Haha! Never, if I have to be honest with
Fia held Britney’s hand tightly and chuckled. “I’m already in this state… I’m not even worried about dying. But I’m betting that he won’t kill me and that he needs me for an even greater scheme he’s planning!”Britney remembered her suffering and wanted to remind Fia about it, but she stopped.No one was willing to bare their wounds that had just healed for others to see.“Take care, then,” she said before helping Fia down on a chair and helping her with makeup.Fia looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was so pretty… But her heart had already shattered into a million pieces.Every time it shattered, she had to pick them all up and plaster the pieces back together.This time, she didn’t want to do it anymore.If only she could simply throw away all the memories of him like she was throwing away the trash.“Britney, you’re so good at makeup. Why did you end up doing research?”Britney’s hand stopped. “That’s right. If I didn’t become a researcher, I wouldn’t have followed
Conrad’s body also froze.“If you don’t put more effort into this, are you sure Fia’s going to stay safe?” Esme threatened him.Conrad gulped and didn’t pull her hand away again.This time, Silas received an anonymous text. After he saw it, he immediately passed the phone to Conrad.“Sir, look.”As soon as Conrad held the phone, his expression turned gloomy.Attached with the text was a picture of a very gorgeous Fia.She was wearing a red traditional wedding garb with slightly heavy makeup.Her expression was slightly numb, like a lifeless porcelain doll sitting on a chair.“Where is she?!” He turned and stared at Esme.Esme looked at the photo on the phone and then touched Conrad’s face with a smile.“Conrad, as soon as we finish the wedding, I’ll definitely let you know where Fia is, alright?”Conrad was so angry that he hurled the phone back at Silas.“Let’s go!”Everyone could see that something was wrong with Conrad’s emotional state. He was completely enraged.Onl
Conrad hit her hand away. “Wedding, right? Once we’re done, it will be time for you to die!”Esme covered her hand with a smile. “You look so cute when you’re angry. I’ve never seen you so excited since we were little… And to think that you’re excited for me? Ahaha! I knew it. I’m unique in your eyes!”… The man tilted his head as he looked at the woman sleeping.With a smile, he said, “I wonder… What will you feel when you’re awake? Afraid? Or maybe, despair?”He touched Fia’s face and her sexy red lips.“You’re truly a beauty… I wonder why your cousin is so terrified of you. Wanting to send you to those filthy places to be wasted away. Men… are the filthiest. They’ll never be able to stop themselves once they have their eyes on you.”He looked at the lipstick stain on his finger, and then wiped it away on Fia’s red garb.“Since you’re going to a wedding, I don’t mind giving you a wedding dress of your own, too. You’ll look so pretty in one. Those who love you… will truly be
“Hehehehe.” Thinking about it, she couldn’t help but laugh. Silas looked at her with hatred. “Ms. Manning, there is still time to go back.” “Aren’t I going back now? My marriage to Conrad is destined. I am bringing everything back to how it was!” Esme smiled as she opened the car door and got off, her injured hand hidden in the suit. She walked toward Conrad. “Conrad.”She stretched out her good hand toward him. The vein on Conrad's forehead throbbed and he had a stoic expression as he held her hand.The cheers of the emcee from the site could be heard. “Let us invite our handsome groom and beautiful bride!”The wedding song played as Conrad walked toward the emcee like a zombie while holding Esme’s hand.All that appeared in his head was Fia’s face whose smile was like a bunch of flowers blooming in spring… ***In a blur, she heard discussion and laughter from around her.“This lady is really not bad.”“She looks pretty and her hand is really smooth.”“I have never
