Chapter 92 Wish you freedom and happiness
Genesis's POV:
Massive panic instantly overwhelmed me. I cried out in terror.
I didn't want to become a despicable woman who messed around with her own uncle!
"No! No! No! Please, Eli! Please!"
Tears kept falling, soaking my nightgown and dripping onto Eli's body.
I frantically remembered Savannah's insults toward my mother. Shameless, bitch, slut...
I didn't want the rest of my life soaked in these curses, and I didn't want to become a canary trapped in a cage!
I studied desperately, not to become a man's trophy!
I bit my lower lip hard and slammed my head toward the sharp corner of the nightstand!
The intense pain I imagined didn't come. I opened my eyes in confusion.
Eli had blocked my forehead with his hand. The wooden corner was deeply embedded in the back of his hand, a bloody mess.
I looked at Eli in horror, but saw him silently lift his hand.
His eyes were rimmed with red as he quietly gazed at me.
"You'd rather die than be with me?"
His voice was hoarse, his gaze fixed on me without wavering.
I was silent for a moment, then looked into his eyes and slowly, solemnly nodded.
He slowly began to smile.
Though his lips curved up, it carried disappointment and sadness I didn't dare look at directly.
I instinctively looked away.
Bang!
Eli's fist violently slammed into my bed, making the entire bed shake for a moment.
I trembled in fear!
Eli must be furious now. Would he kill me?
But things had reached this point. If I wanted him to let me go, I could only spread my legs and let him take me.
But I couldn't!
At worst, I'd go to heaven and meet Mom and Dad. It was just a pity I couldn't avenge them!
The room fell silent. After a long time, I felt Eli straighten up and release the hands restraining me.
I immediately wrapped myself frantically in the blanket, curling into a ball.
The sheets were stained red with his blood, but Eli acted like he felt nothing, calmly putting on his clothes.
He was letting me go?
I wasn't as happy as I'd imagined. Instead, I felt like a huge stone was pressing on my heart.
I listened to Eli's footsteps walking toward the door, step by step, like he was stepping on my heart.
At the door, he didn't open it. In the darkness, I saw him turn back.
His voice was hoarse as if cut by a knife. "Genesis, I wish you... freedom! Happiness! In a life without me!"
My tears fell instantly.
Eli had let me go. I should be happy, but at this moment my heart felt heavy, and tears wouldn't stop falling.
Before long, my face was covered with tears.
In the darkness, I could only see a blurry figure standing dejectedly at the door, saying softly in a sorrowful tone.
"Genesis, you got what you wanted!"
Eli's POV:
Standing at the stairway, I lit a cigarette.
Genesis's panicked and desperate eyes appeared before me. I irritably threw the cigarette onto the carpet, the crimson light flickering in the darkness.
When I first learned Genesis was the one who sent the video to Jordan, I wanted to kill her myself.
Her casual video had made all my efforts worthless. How could I not be furious?
I hated betrayers most!
But when I actually pushed her to the window, I realized I loved her.
Not just casual liking, not unwillingness at being rejected, but love.
Love so deep I thought I could forgive even betrayal, as long as she sincerely apologized and repented.
How ridiculous!
I was actually willing to forgive a woman who betrayed me!
But what about her?
She looked at me with red eyes, trembling as she said she didn't like me.
She actually didn't like me?!
I laughed self-mockingly, stomped out the cigarette viciously, and walked downstairs without hesitation.
The cold night wind blew against my body and through my heart.
I had carved out my true heart and offered it to her like a treasure, only to have her throw it into the mud without hesitation.
I was furious!
I wouldn't allow her to escape from my side!
Since she was unwilling, I would completely possess her and imprison her by my side forever.
But I still couldn't harden my heart.
When her tears dripped onto me, they burned back all my rationality.
This wasn't what she wanted.
I loved her so much I couldn't bear to truly hurt her, much less force her.
I walked slowly to the villa entrance, suppressing the urge to look back, and got in the car.
Walker looked behind me in confusion. "Where's Genesis? Not taking her?"
Take her where? I hung my head self-mockingly. She never wanted to be with me from the beginning.
"Go." I spat out the word through gritted teeth.
I wanted to see what kind of freedom a helpless girl could get in the Martinez family! Did she really think she was Superman?
Thinking of her fragile appearance made my teeth itch with hatred.
Why didn't she like me!
Walker seemed to understand something, nodded, and started the car.
"Actually, it's better not to bring her. After all, she betrayed you."
I didn't respond to Walker's words. I didn't want to mention anything about her anymore, just stared gloomily out the window.
Losing the competition with Christian and being forced to leave the Martinez family had never brought me such a sense of defeat.
Because I knew I had already deployed everything and would take back what belonged to me.
But her...
I lit another cigarette, watching its white smoke curl upward before finally dissipating in the air.
I reached out to catch it but couldn't grasp it.
This was the first time I felt lost.
Wasn't staying by my side good? Would the freedom she wanted really be freedom?
Genesis was like this white smoke. I couldn't catch or hold her. What would it take for her to truly love me?
But now it didn't matter anymore.
I casually threw the cigarette out the window, watching it disappear from sight.
I leaned back and closed my eyes, forcibly suppressing the sting in them.
We quickly arrived at the airport. Walker and Inigo had prepared everything.
I stood on the plane's gangway, looking back at this familiar city.
After I left, she would truly become helpless... I clenched my fists, suppressing the urge to drag her to my side.
"Contact Susan." I spoke heavily, looking at Walker.
Walker looked at me in confusion. "The maid?"
"Give her a million. Have her transfer it to Genesis when needed." I turned back coldly, unwilling to look back again. "Also tell her Ethan's contact information. If Genesis needs help... then help her."
Christian wouldn't treat her well, and this was all I could do for her.
