Chapter 1 Intro (2/2)

Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.

“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.

s imposing manner, she was reacting all by instinct.

”It's alright if you just wanted to have me. But...” Brian's stare suddenly turned cold like ice as he finished the sentence word by word. ”You should not have helped her leave me!”

Hannah froze in a daze.

”You. You shouldn't have done that,” He added slowly and looked at Hannah. The grief and pain momentarily escaped in his eyes.

Sensing the danger, Hannah struggled to get away, only to be caught in the neck.

”Hmm...” Hannah was suffocating from Brian's grip and her pupils were already dilated with fright but she managed to utter out of breath,”What... what do you want?”

”What do I want?” Brian's eyes were sharp like eagle's as he put on a mysteriously strange smile. ”I thought you knew.”

”No!” Petrified, Hannah turned pale at once.

Brian threw her back forcefully on the bed. As if nothing happened, he put his hands in his pockets and looked at her disdainfully. ”Enjoy this lovely night,” he uttered coldly before leaving the room.

”Brian Long, you are such a monster! Ugh!” Hannah screamed in agony.

The shrill cries penetrated the darkness and were heard by Molly Xia, who was firmly grasped by two men in black downstairs. She stood there, shivering with gritted teeth.

Her eyes widened every time her ears were hounded by the screams and intimate moans resonating upstairs.

Brian walked down the stairs and moved towards Molly. Just seeing her pale face caused him that sharp pain again.

Molly stared fiercely at Brian with fists clenched. Her lips were quivering probably because of fright or panic.

”You know what? It's all your fault...” Brian spoke softly. His well-shaped face was void of expression. He raised one hand and caressed Molly's face with his long and thin fingers, which stopped at her shivering lips. Fixing his eyes on her, Brian gently fondled her tender lips.

Willfully, Molly shunned Brian's touch and glared at him. She sneered with lips quivering,”Don't make me the excuse... for your cruelty!”

Brian froze as his stare gradually went cold then hard. He gripped her chin and forced her to look at him.

”Huh. Cruelty?” Brian mocked. The contempt in Molly's eyes was like a sharp knife cutting his heart into pieces. Moving closer to her, he remarked,”You call that cruelty? Well... I'll make sure you experience actual cruelty yourself!”

Molly didn't respond. Instead, she clenched her teeth as she was determined not to show weakness even though she was frightened to death.

Irritated by her resolution, Brian dismissed her unemotionally. ”Get her out of here.”

The men in black took Molly away as directed. When Molly's emaciated figure gradually disappeared from his sight, the wound in Brian's heart tore up and bled terribly as pain and bitterness took him over.

'Molly Xia. Even if it was a mistake from the beginning, I'd rather not correct it. Never!'
