My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 142

I kept wondering why Kevin would appear at the party, so I went and asked James if Kevin came uninvited. When he

saw me, he quietly left the coast without greeting me.

This was unlike his usual behavior.

Even when I called him, he told me directly that he didn't have the authority to grant my request… He was one of

the most capable people in the Xenos Family, and he technically should have had the authority to switch on the GPS

tracking application. However, he refused and even asked me to call Shawn.

It was okay if I had to call Shawn, but then he went and asked me that painful question. Then, it dawned on me that

Nicholas and Christopher's appearances were all planned by Kevin, and he was listening to Shawn's orders.

As far as I knew, Kevin and the Forger brothers didn't have any grudges, so it wasn't my fault for not being able to

tie Shawn to this matter, but why would he… Shawn and the Forger brothers had no grudges with each other unless

they did this to help me get my revenge. If they had done it for my sake, wouldn't pushing them into the sea

constitute going overboard? If Nicholas and Christopher hadn't known how to swim, wouldn't they have…

The more I thought about it, the more scrambled my mind became. Then, Christopher looked at Olivia, who was

standing in the distance, and suddenly called out to me. "Little girl."

I responded, "Yes."

A gleam flashed through Christopher's eyes as he hesitated a bit before continuing, "I met Emma while I was having

my global recital abroad."

Then, his gaze became conflicted as I admitted, "I know. She told me she had met you and even praised your

looks."

He closed his eyes slightly, then asked, "Is she the youngest daughter of the Turner Family?"

I nodded as a response and answered, "James is her brother."

"That little girl is a heartless woman," he told me.

It was rare to see Christopher describing someone as heartless. In Nicholas and Olivia's eyes, he was the one who

was truly an indifferent person.

I asked in confusion, "Did something happen between you two?"

"It's nothing. I've wronged her."

I felt even more curious as I pressed for answers. "What have you done to Emma?

Instead of receiving an answer, I saw Christopher's lips curling into a smile. Then, he lowered his gaze and looked at

me before saying, "Little girl, the night has fallen. I need to send Oliva back to…"

Christopher didn't tell me how he wronged Emma. When I sensed that he wanted to hide the truth, I didn't ask any

further.

I suggested, "You guys could stay in Eldham for the night."

But he shook his head and said, "Oliva needs to return to the Forgers."

Even under such special circumstances, Christopher wanted to be separated from Olivia since he couldn't even

stand to stay even one night with her. Moreover, it was clear how cold he was to Ovilia.

I looked at Olivia with pity and saw that she was looking at Christopher with red-rimmed eyes. It seemed like she

had heard his words. Moreover, we weren't that far away from her to begin with.

After parting with them, I drove back to the apartment. I parked my car inside the garage and alighted from the

vehicle. Then, a hand came from behind to cover my mouth.

The garage was huge and empty since it was in the middle of the night. Fear started to grow in my heart. As I

grabbed the perpetrator's clothes, I found that they were wet.

Instantly, I knew who it was. So, when he hugged my neck from behind and blew his breath in my ear, I wasn't as

shocked as I should have been. Then, he teasingly asked, "Did I scare you?"

As I let out a relieved breath, Nicholas gently bit my earlobe before letting go of my mouth. Then, he asked, "Did

you miss me recently?"

He had just bitten my ear so intimately…

Embarrassed and angry, I growled, "Let go of me."

Instead of heeding my request, he made things even worse by pulling me into his arms and gently asking, "Have

you had sex with Shawn? Is he better than me?"

The words that came out from him were so lewd that I knew this was another one of his personalities that hated

me. While I struggled to escape his embrace, he suddenly touched my chest. "Tsk, it's so soft."

I shouted angrily, "Nicholas Forger, let me go!"

I hated him for acting in such a way, but I couldn't escape his grasp, so I tried to reach for the emergency button on

top of the car.

Just as I was about to reach for the button, he suddenly let go of me. I looked at him in surprise, only to feel him

release me and say, "This is just my gift to you by way of greeting. Next time I see you, I will make you mine, if not

in heart, then in body." After that, he turned around and left.

I called out to him in a harried state, "Nicholas."

He gently hummed a reply. "You don't want me to leave?"

I asked with difficulty, "What would it take for you to let me go?"

"Leave Shawn Xenos," he replied.

"I won't–"

Nicholas immediately turned around and interrupted my words. His gaze was icy cold as he reminded me with a

slight smile, "You also said you wouldn't leave me. Back then, we were just like how you and Shawn are now. I've

even prepared myself for the rest of my life, and even this whole life. How dare you leave me selfishly?"

His hair was still wet and stuck to his forehead. Just as I was thinking about saying something, he suddenly gave a

sinister smile. "Unless I destroy you, I will never let you go so easily in this life."

His words made my heart tremble. Our past…

We didn't have many beautiful memories together, but he did treat me well. My love for him felt so inferior back

then that I lost myself while loving him. I treated him like the most important person in my life back then, yet here

we were.

Did I wrong him?!

To be honest, I had never wronged him. It was always him who wronged me, but there was no point in settling the

scores now.

Most importantly, he had decided to get back at me. If he continued to act in such a way, he would hurt Shawn.

"Nicholas, can't you let me go?"

My tone was especially humble, but he smiled without answering my question.

I said self-deprecatingly, "I've never done anything to hurt you! I admit that getting into a relationship with Shawn

after four months made our feelings for each other look cheap! But I swear that I did nothing wrong! He had

appeared in my life four months before all of this, and he was the one that gave me a sense of security and a

shoulder to rely on… We didn't have any relationship back then. It was him who cured my cancer and saved my

life… Nicholas, I've loved you with all my passion and never doubted you. Although leaving you was a challenge,

and I felt sad for a long while, I still decided to bury my feelings for you… What's wrong with loving a person? How

could I have known that you would return? No one told me you were still alive, but when I decided to lower my

guard and approach Shawn, you suddenly came back and interfered! Nicholas, I already gave my heart to him.

What do you expect me to do? You accused me of betraying you, and even Shawn had criticized me for being

indecisive, but neither of you had asked me about my feelings!"

Nicholas' expression hadn't changed. He asked, "So, you've decided to remove me from your life? Ree, do you think

I would agree to that?"

I questioned him, "What do you want from me then?" What was he expecting from me when I had already given

my heart to someone by the time he returned?

Was he expecting me to take back my words and say, "Oh, no. Shawn, I don't like you. It was all a joke, and the

person I love is Nicholas. I still want to marry him and be his wife for the rest of my life?!"

If I had acted like that, I would have been the most vicious woman on earth. I would look down on myself for being

such a woman, and my heart wouldn't agree with me! Instead, I loved Shawn the way I had loved Nicholas back

then. Moreover, I couldn't change how I felt about Shawn because of his return…

"Leave him and return to my side," said Nicholas.

The current Nicholas was like a demon, and he wouldn't listen to whatever I said. He wanted me back by his side no

matter what.

So what if I returned to his side?! Could we return to the happy days we had together?! When have we ever felt

happy while being together, though?

There was no point in me explaining further because he wouldn't listen to anything I said. He left upon noticing my

silence.

From that moment on, I knew we would still have entanglements, but it wasn't my intention to entangle with him.

Instead, it was he who would continuously harass me.

Now that I thought about it, my heart was in misery.

A severe headache hit me when I thought about Nicholas. I raised my hand to touch my chest, thinking of how I

would face Shawn the day after tomorrow. After all, another man had touched his woman's chest.

The exhaustion after the whole night and what had just happened seemed to have caused an instant explosion in

my mind. I felt so uncomfortable that I had to crouch down to regain my bearings.

I felt so uncomfortable, like there was a heavy weight on my chest, and I felt very depressed and discomfited. Just

then, a familiar voice sounded, "Oh, Ray. What would you do if Shawn found out that your ex-husband had groped

your chest?"
