Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 195

"Adam, I think I've made a terrible mistake," Amelia murmured.

But all she had wanted was to survive.

Now that she had done what she needed to do, a sudden lightness washed over her as if all the pressure on her had vanished at once. But as the pressure faded, her thoughts turned to Elsie—that bitch.

How dare she try to take Amelia's place and claim what Amelia herself had failed to achieve?

Amelia ended the call with Adam and headed to the bathroom for a shower.

She only contracted HIV because she had once loved someone enough to follow him abroad. She had sacrificed her pride and dignity to cook and care for him. But from the start, she had only been his prey.

That was how she knew exactly how to make Janice lose all hope. Amelia knew how it felt when a man turned his back, denying everything she had ever done for him. It was a pain that cut deep, like having her heart carved out with a knife.

So, Simon wasn't innocent either, right?

…

The following morning, Simon woke up with a pounding headache. He was neatly dressed, aside from a few wrinkles.

The alcohol from last night had really hit hard. But strangely, he had still managed to dream—and not just any dream but that kind of dream.

Simon prided himself on not being swayed by lust. For him, a woman's value lay in what she could offer, not her looks.

After washing up, he felt hungry and headed to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. He planned to contact Heidi afterward.

She had reached out two nights ago, saying they'd watch the competition together. He hadn't bothered asking what had happened between Edward and Janice. The worse things got for them, the better.
