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
“Mr. Maxwell, do you take the woman before you as your wife, to be loyal to her your entire life, to protect her and to love her?”“I do.”I do.I do…Fia cried so hard that she could not see the screen clearly, but she would not forget Conrad’s voice till the day she died!She threw the phone.“Ah! Liar! All of you are liars!”“You said you would give me a wedding. You said…”Her chest hurt and she was unable to say another word.How did it become like this?Her mind was a mess and she felt as if she had never known Conrad!How could he be so terrifying, so malicious!“Conrad, you married someone else. Have you not hurt me enough?“Do you have to hurt me to such an extent?”She could not understand, and also did not have the energy to think.After today, if she didn’t die, they would not be able to reconcile!“The little lady’s temper is quite fiery, huh!”“A great temper and a spicy one is fun!”“You go, or should I go first?”The two of them started to discuss whi
“Mr. Maxwell!”Barbara came rushing over, holding a phone in her hands.She was so agitated that she was crying. “There’s news about Fia!” Conrad, who was at the whims and fancies of Esme, was about to complete the kissing ceremony when he suddenly regained his senses and pushed Esme aside.Esme fell to the ground and glared at Barbara as she hugged Conrad’s pants.Despite being in the spotlight, she couldn't care less about dignity. She only wanted to keep Conrad as hers.“She’s lying! That person is amazing. Fia could not have possibly run away from him, unless…”“Unless what!” Conrad ruthlessly picked Esme up by strangling her neck.Esme looked at him in a daze. “Impossible. She couldn’t… possibly do it.”Conrad loosened his hold around her neck slightly, allowing her to speak clearly. “Hasn’t she always been kind and innocent? As long as she got set up, she wouldn’t be able to escape!" Esme said determinedly. “Barbara must be lying!”Mr. and Mrs. Thomas were at a loss
The man put on his mask and black windbreaker. He then took an exquisite dagger from the drawer and ran out of the room.From the corridor, Britney saw him come out and immediately hid her phone. “Master, where are you going?” The man slowed down and stopped before Britney. “You gave her a tracking device.” “No, no.” Britney shook her head, her heart feeling nervous. She had been very careful, and never thought that he would notice.He impatiently snatched her phone and found the records of the phone connecting to the tracking device. He smiled and said to Britney, “You have gained merit. When I return, I’ll let you become Britney properly once again!”After he finished speaking, he gave the phone back to her and speedily left. Britney was silent as she retreated, leaning against the wall and squatting down, her legs feeling like jelly. ***“The northern suburbs.”The bridal gown on the girl had already been ripped to shreds and she walked out of the slums barefooted
The woman replied, “What other reason is there? We women don’t disdain our men for not having much abilities. But we cannot accept infidelity!”Fia lowered her head.Indeed, all women who were serious would not stand dirt in the relationship and would not accept infidelity.Even emotional infidelity was not acceptable.And he, Conrad, had already “cheated” one too many times!She was really stupid!To have given him chance after chance, believing him again and again!Even though they knew each other from a young age, clearly that was not enough to know a person!“Miss, we’ve arrived at the northern suburbs.”“Alright.” Fia opened the car door and got off. She stepped on a pebble and stumbled.The woman looked at her, saying, “If you are also facing the same as I was, remember to be brave and face it. You’ll make it through.”Fia waved at the lady. “Thank you.”Thinking about the couple of hundreds she had just stuffed into her bag, the woman continued, “No matter what, ther
