“If this is what your love looks like–hurting me over and over–then I want nothing to do with it.”
“Liam, Im not as forgiving as you think. I can’t forgive someone who deliberately hurt me.”
“If you truly feel guilty, then never show your face to me again.”
As my words sank in, the light in Liam’s eyes instantly dimmed, the last spark of hope extinguished. His body visibly swayed, as if he might collapse at any
moment.
Liam’s lips moved, seemingly trying to form some explanation, but in the end, he couldn’t say a word.
Because he knew everything I said was true, and any explanation would be utterly meaningless.
In this lifetime, there was no future for us.
“Liam!” Zoey’s urgent voice suddenly called from behind him.
I looked at Liam with mockery in my eyes.
In that moment, panic flashed in Liam’s eyes as he quickly explained:
I didn’t ask her to come.”
What are you doing here?” he asked Zoey, clearly surprised.
I knew you were worried about her, but you’re still running a fever. You shouldn’t be out like this.”
‘Sis, this is all my fault. I’m so sorry. Please forgive Liam–he’s sick but still came looking for you. Can’t you forgive him?”
Zoey’s manner was so humble, looking so innocent and pitiful.
Jnfortunately for her, I wasn’t Hunter, and I certainly wasn’t Liam.
Her act didn’t work on me.
Who do you think you are? You apologize and I’m supposed to forgive him?”
laughed scornfully. Zoey really did think highly of herself.
My retort left Zoey’s face alternating between red and pale as she turned to Liam with a wounded expression.
o my surprise, Liam completely ignored Zoey’s helpless look. He didn’t scold me for my attitude, but instead coldly said to her:
You should go back. This is between my wife and me. It has nothing to do with you.”
I disagree. How can it have nothing to do with her? Everything you did was because of her, wasn’t it?” I said with a smirk.
iam’s face went blank.
Meanwhile, Zoey couldn’t hide her smug little smile.
Looking at her self–satisfied expression, I flashed a cold grin:
How’s my kidney treating you?”
You know about that?” Zoey’s face twitched.
‘If I were you, I’d stay home and keep a low profile instead of prancing around town like you’re showing off your stolen goods,” I sneered.
At my words, Zoey’s eyes widened with fear.
Done with these two disgusting people, I turned and walked away.
Liam tried to grab my arm, but Zoey blocked him.
Even from a distance, I could still hear them fighting.
“What the hell, Liam? You practically begged to do all this for me! I never forced your
“Yeah, you’re right. Everything I did was my choice.”
“Well, guess what? I regret it now, okay?”
I laughed bitterly to myself.
Liam, Zoey–1 wouldn’t let anyone who hurt me get away with it.
They stole from me and thought life would just go on as normal?
As if.
Since when is anything in life that easy?
‘d already hired a lawyer and gathered all the evidence.
The next day, just as I was preparing to file charges against Liam and Zoey, I received news of their deaths.
Apparently, on their way home yesterday, their argument had escalated as they blamed each other.
Zoey, in a state of emotional frenzy, had recklessly grabbed for the steering wheel while Liam was driving.
Juring the struggle, the car veered off the road, crashed through the guardrail, and plunged down a cliff.
The car leaked fuel and exploded.
iam and Zoey died instantly…
When I heard the news, I couldn’t even describe what I felt.
‘m no saint.
After everything Liam and Zoey did to me, they died before facing any real consequences. If anything, they got off easy.
Walking out of the courthouse, I noticed the gloomy sky had cleared up completely.
.ooking up at that perfect blue, the weight I’d been carrying in my chest for so long just… vanished.
he road ahead was wide open, and I had a whole life waiting for me.
few weeks later, I packed up and moved to a new city to start over.
