Lexi glanced over Vincent’s face with an indifferent gaze. The light was shining above the two of them. She sluggishly leaned on the sofa while he slowly kneeled. His eyes were blazing, which made her feel strange.
With just a simple match-up of black opened cheongsam and a pair of long black pants, he looked so fine and reserved.
Through the slightly opened collar, she could faintly see his well-built chest. He slightly rolled his sleeves up, showing his healthy muscles…
As for the fresh flowers he was holding in his left hand… Those were 99 roses, right?
A slight pain got mixed up with emotions that Lexi didn’t know about. What was he doing?
“Lexi?” Vincent had to stuff the flowers into her embrace since she wasn’t willing to accept them.
People around them gasped.
“Lexi, your ego is too big! Mr. White even personally apologized!”
“That’s right! Just forgive Mr. White!”…
Vincent took out a jewelry box and opened it, which had a sapphire necklace in it, and the heart-shaped pendant was very dazzling.
“Whoa…” people around them gasped in awe.
Lexi was dumbfounded, and didn’t know what to do as she held the flowers.
“Lexi, this is your graduation gift, do you like it?” his voice was gentle as he took the necklace out and put it on for her.
That necklace was so beautiful and expensive, that it made a group of women and even men feel very envious and jealous of it! A handsome man and a beautiful woman were always so visually attractive.
The lively party became so silent because of Vincent’s action. At that graduation party, Lexi was undoubtedly the person that people focused on the most.
“Lexi?” Vincent looked at the dim-witted Lexi, her pupils seemed like scattering and she also slightly frowned… He finally realized that something was wrong so he quickly touched her face and felt that her skin was burning hot, “Lexi? What’s wrong?”
Right when Lexi closed her eyes, she felt the world spinning around and fainted.
“Lexi…” along with Vincent’s tense shout, the party became chaotic, “Manager Billy, send a car to go to the hospital!”
“Lexi, Lexi? You finally woke up!” Vincent’s anxious gaze suddenly brightened up.
Lexi slowly opened her eyes and looked into Vincent’s caring eyes.
What happened?
Those eyes looked so gentle and caring, which were very enchanting.
Like she stepped on the cloud, her body felt so light, weak, cold, without any strength at all.
On the next moment, she went into a warm and wide embrace.
“Lexi, thank goodness, you’re okay!” as if Vincent sighed out of relief, he hugged her tightly like he’s afraid of losing her.
Lexi looked up and saw the bottle of saline hanging up there. Was she at the hospital?
All the memories surged back to Lexi’s mind, including the graduation party where he apologized to her… She also remembered that she was having a fever, he gave her roses and a necklace, and then she seemed to hear his anxious shout. That’s an illusion. Yeah, it must be an illusion.
Vincent was still hugging her tightly at that time, and she could even feel Vincent’s anxiousness for her.
Was that still an illusion? He’s worried about her?
In Vincent’s embrace, Lexi silently looked at his anxious face… He didn’t fake that, so her heart somehow calmed down.
Vincent… He’s concerned about her?
Lexi glanced at Vincent’s angry but worried face, and she then laughed at herself… As expected, she was really confused because of her fever. How could she see anxiousness and distress on his face?
Was that so?
As if there was a bit of warmth that penetrated through her heart, Lexi tried hard to warn herself so she wouldn’t overthink it.
She softly closed her eyes and snuggled her little face into his firm embrace, absorbing his breath and tenderness beneath his cold appearance. At such time, she hoped that time would just stop.
Vincent became worried again since Lexi didn’t answer him for a long time, “Lexi, you’re okay, right? I’ll find the doctor!”
“No need…” she said with a hoarse voice.
Vincent looked at her, her watery eyes that had lots of things to say made him feel more distressed and so he looked at her worriedly, “Do you still feel hot?”
He rubbed her forehead to check whether her fever had gone down after two hours of IV drip… It felt like the fever had gone down because it wasn’t as hot as it was before.
“What happened to me?” she shook her head, still feeling headache.
“Getting such a high fever, what happened? How could you get such a high fever?” seeing how miserable she was, he felt distressed, “You just fainted! Did you not sleep last night?”
Lexi didn’t say anything because she didn’t sleep all night last night.
Soon, the IV drip was all used up… After pressing the bell on the head of the bed, the nurse walked in to measure Lexi’s body temperature, “Your fever has gone!”
“Can I go home now?” Lexi asked.
“I’ll ask the doctor!” The nurse walked out after she pulled the needle out, then she came back and told them that they could go home.
“What if she got fever again?” Vincent was worried, “We’ll just stay in the hospital!”
The nurse had never met such a family member so she could only say, “That’s okay, too!”
“I want to be discharged!” Lexi spoke in a low voice.
“No!” Vincent firmly disagreed.
“I’m already fine!” said Leila as she tried to hop out of the bed. Lexi just wanted to go home and sleep. It was very uncomfortable there. Though it seemed like a VIP ward, she just wasn’t used to it.
“No, I said no!” seeing how Lexi was really in a rush to go home, Vincent was even more anxious so he just pressed her down.
“I want to go home!” Lexi’s voice was soft like she was speaking coquettishly. Vincent sighed, “Okay! If you don’t feel well, we’ll call the doctor to check you at home!”
Vincent carried Lexi up, not allowing her to walk so he just walked out while carrying her…
The sunlight seeped through the curtain’s gauze… Pippa suddenly woke up and pushed the man on her in disgust, and then screamed with her hoarse voice, “Don’t touch me!”
Miyamoto suddenly looked sullen as he narrowed his eyes, “You don’t allow me to touch you, so who do you want to touch you? Don’t forget that I’m your man! Do you want Vincent? He wouldn’t even fuck you, right?!”
After saying that, he pulled open her legs and went inside without any restrain.
It’s been two days and two nights!
He didn’t allow her to get off the bed so many times. Pippa felt that she couldn’t hold on any longer. Very, very tired.
Miyamoto grabbed her breast, “Umph…” Pippa couldn’t help letting out her voice. The coldness and numbness from her breast made her hold her breath, but the man suddenly increased his strength and made her feel miserable until she had cold sweats.
“How is it? You feel it now?” Miyamoto sneered so wickedly as if there’s a slight irony in his eyes.
“Miyamoto, you’re not a human!” Pippa groaned.
Miyamoto smiled even more, and his tall and big figure shrouded hers, “I’m not a human and you’ve known it since long ago, right?”
He went deeper into her, making her moan in despair, “Ah…”
That’s so painful!
She laid down under him, looking at his angry but handsome face. His ten fingers squeezed her palm, he leaned down to get closer to her face, so they could fit even closer.
“Pip, do you know what I hate the most?”
So painful!
Pippa’s consciousness started to fade away. She didn’t want to know and she had never wanted to know.
“You let my son admit another man as his father, you really think I’d believe that Owen is Vincent’s son?” he roared fiercely, nearly gritting his teeth.
It was painful, really painful!
Pippa’s nails nearly dug into his back, but he fucked her unreasonably and tortured her senses. The more she felt pain, the more he smiled!
Called Vincent dad?! Yes! She just hoped that Owen was related to Vincent! “I hate you! You ruined my life! I wouldn’t love you even if I die!”
“Then you can just die!” Miyamoto’s eyes suddenly reddened as he exerted more strength.
Her lower body felt pain like it was burning!
That caused Pippa to finally shed tears of humiliation!
“Let me go, I beg you…” she begged with her trembling voice.
But Miyamoto felt even more pleased as he smiled. That sharp smile nearly pierced through her heart.
“Didn’t you want to die? I’ll let you die today! Just die!”
After saying that, he started torturing her again.
After his continuous strong attacks, Pippa finally felt overly exhausted and fainted.
After quite some time, Pippa woke up and saw that Miyamoto wasn’t in the room… She crawled up, ran into the bathroom, closed the door, and laughed at herself… That laugh was so mournful and desolate. She felt pain all over her body to her bones!
Looking at herself in the mirror, she seemed so haggard as if she just smoked opium… He said that he wouldn’t let her go even if he died, and he said that she should just die! She really had no other way!
With a loud sound, she broke the glasses and took one of the pieces… Her hands trembled, her whole body was trembling too but it was her left hand that was holding the piece of glass that was trembling the worst.
She thought that she wouldn’t be afraid of death, but she didn’t expect that when she really chose to suicide, she couldn’t help hesitating, feeling nervous, and even extremely scared…
She had done such a thing once in the past and was saved, this time, she would not be so lucky anymore and she didn’t wish that she’d be so lucky!
Her son? Since he was a kid, she had hated him but then she had to accept her son… But then again, she was reluctant, that kid was the proof that Miyamoto raped her. He kept reminding her that Miyamoto ruined her life, otherwise, she would be Vincent’s, her beloved Vincent’s wife!
Vincent would never know that she was so deeply in love with him. Just bring that secret away. Vincent had found his other half too anyway. Even if she felt a bit of imbalance in her heart, even if she was fond of Vincent’s gentleness, she knew that none of it belongs to her!
She didn’t want to stay in this world any longer, she wasn’t a match to Vincent from the very start and it’d be impossible in her whole life… It’d be better if she could just end it all by dying.
The piece of glass slowly moved to her left wrist, scratched it deeply, causing fresh blood to quickly flow out.
She smiled with tears on her face.
Goodbye, Vincent! Goodbye, Owen! Goodbye, Nora! Goodbye, Miyamoto!!
