Chapter 97 - Please believe me once (2/2)
I am worried. Is he okay? I hail a taxi and come back to the apartment. He's not at his apartment. Feeling like something is going wrong, I call his number. I can still remember it from my memories. His manager picks it up and tells me that Kang Si An is okay.
I don't feel good. I don't know why. The ugly thoughts aren't going away. I dislike the person that I am becoming. I drink another bottle of wine to numb my brain. Will he ever remember me? It hasn't been two days and I am already tired.
I don't know how much I drank. I end up sleeping on the floor. The sound of doorbell wakes me up again. Unsteady on my feet, I manage to go to the door and open it. It's Kang Si An.
”You are here.” I burst into tears and take his hand. ”Leave her. Be with me. She's not the right person for you. I am the right person. Look at me carefully. Remember me.”
He pushes me away and closes the door behind him. His eyes are cold. So cold. I feel it piercing my heart.
”I thought that I was wrong.” His voice is dripping with a deep hatred. ”I thought that you were not that kind of person.”
What is he saying? I can't understand. Am I too drunk to comprehend?
”Why did you do that to Ki Mi Ran?” He grasps my hair hard. ”Why?”
The pain clears my head a bit. ”I didn't do anything to her.”
”You didn't?” He slaps my face. ”She is in hospital. We lost our child. I saw the CCTV with my own eyes.”
CCTV? My lips are torn. A few drops of blood fall on the white floor. ”What are you talking about? Speak what I can understand.”
”You don't understand?” He raises his hand to slap me again, but I catch his wrist. He hits me with his other hand and pushes me on the floor. I try to get out of his grip. He's stronger and faster than me. I don't want to fight him, but I am not taking this treatment either.
”Ki Mi Ran wanted to befriend you. She came to see you and you insulted her. You asked her to leave me. You even beat her up when she told you that she couldn't leave me. She told you to stop beating her because she was pregnant.” His hot tears descend on me one by one. ”I didn't want to believe this. I don't know why I didn't want to believe that a woman like you would be this cruel to someone else. I checked the CCTV and saw Ki Mi Ran leaving your apartment while crying and holding her stomach. She went to the hospital alone. She didn't call me because of you. How could you do this to her?”
I can't believe what he's saying. Who is this person? Does he really have Li Jun's soul? None of Li Jun's reincarnation ever hit me like this. They have never physically hurt me like this. They never talked to me like this. ”Kang Si An, I didn't do it. She's lying.”
”She's lying and you are not?” He spats. ”I know women like you. Obsessive women like you would go to any extent. They don't know morality or humanity. What did my child do to you? Why can't he come to the world? Because of you, Ki Mi Ran is hurt both physically and psychologically. My child is gone.”
”Kang Si An, please believe me,” I beg him. ”I didn't do it. I would never do this to another human being. I did tell her to leave you, but I never raised a hand on her. I didn't kick her. I didn't even know that she was pregnant.”
He laughs at me, but his tears haven't stopped. I feel like crying. I didn't know that she was pregnant. I only thought that she was his girlfriend. There was a chance of pregnancy because it happened to me in the original timeline, but Ki Mi Ran was different. I was hoping that she wasn't pregnant like I was. If it was like this, I could still bring him to my side. If there wasn't a child involved, I could break up their relationship before they got married.
”She won't hold charges against you.” I hear him say. ”She's that kind. She has already forgiven a
disgusting creature like you. But, I can't forgive you.”
”Kang Si An, I didn't do it,” I whisper in a low voice. ”I swear, I didn't do anything to her. Please believe me once.”
”You want me, right?” His expression turns sinister. I don't recognize his man anymore. I feel the same fear that I felt when I saw myself being killed by this man once. ”I will grant your wish.”
”No, don't do it,” I scream when he tears my clothes. ”Kang Si An, I didn't do it. You will regret this moment in the future. Please stop now. Please.”
