Evershining Stars, Everlasting Love novel Chapter 26

“Why do I think you are weird? Did you do something wrong? Are you afraid I’ll blame you?” Vince said. The breath when he spoke tickled my earlobe. I shook my head. I broke away from Vince’s hands to be free from his arms.

I turned and said with a serious face, “Vince, let’s not see each other again.”

After hearing what I said, Vince’s facial expressions changed quickly and completely. His deep pupils constricted. He looked at me coldly and said harshly, “Say it again.”

I knew what I said have affected his mood. The reason why he asked me to repeat it was that he wanted me to take it back.

But how could I take it back? I could tell Vince that my brother owes to loan sharks and I could also accept his money to stay with him. But what would be the final result? Qiang Mo would regard Vince as an ATM and Qi Ouyang would retaliate crazily. She’s gonna do more to me and my family. Mo family is just a small household and is unable to contest with Ouyang family.

How could Vince protect me? Once or twice?

Just as the saying goes, better an open enemy than a false friend. I couldn’t stake everything on my family. It doesn’t matter if my marriage or relationship collapsed. I could handle it.

I admit that my love is selfish, because I had never measured Vince’s love for me. He never said he loved me and I just assumed that we were just in need of sex and spiritual sustenance.

Now that the most basic needs were being envied, it’s time to end.

I lowered my head and swallowed slobber, saying self-mockingly and grief-stricken, “I’m tired and I don’t want to play with you.”

“Play?” Vince said. He was infuriated by the word. He came forward to pinch my chin and lift it hard.

I was forced to raise my head painfully and make eye contact with him. I saw the burning anger in his eyes. I’ve never seen him so angry.

“I’ve never been screwed by a woman. You are the first one.” Vince looked at me and said harshly.

I looked at him stubbornly and said, “A bad woman like me, a former model and a divorced woman, naturally likes to play with men, don’t you know?”

“You lied to me about your pregnancy?” Vince said. His cold, aloof and proud eyes shot at me like an arrow.

“Yes, everything I’ve told you is false. Do you know why I divorced Jerry? That’s because I lied a lot. He divorced me because he couldn’t stand me. I am so mean and scary….” I said. Before I could finish what I wanted to say, Vince kissed me.

He sucked vindictively, thrusting my teeth roughly open. His kiss was like a whirlpool and I couldn’t resist it until my lip stung. He bit my lip and the blood flowed into my mouth and melted. The smell of blood filled my mouth.

He moved his lips away from me and pushed me. He stared at me coldly for a few seconds and laughed scornfully, saying, “Nance, you are too cruel.”

I gently touched the cut on the corner of my mouth. Tears were rolling in my eyes but I managed to hold them back. “Vince, I don’t know you are a man who takes a matter to heart and can’t let things go. There are plenty of good women in the world and there are plenty of women who want to have sex with you. Why do you want a bad woman like me?”

“How bad you are?” Vince questioned me with cold eyes.

“I can have sex with another man right now. Am I bad enough?” I gritted my teeth and said such vile things. My heart ached. I wanted to slap myself. Why I hurt Vince like that?

I knew the answer myself. He is too good to be a match for someone in my position. Qi Ouyang’s terrible eyes are full of all kinds of conspiracy and I knew I’m no match for her.

In fact, I must always make way for money. My parents are old and Qiang Mo should make a good living with my sister-in-law. I really didn’t want to upset them because of my relationship.

What does it matter if I sacrifice my own happiness? I smiled wryly. I watched Vince rush at me like a wild beast, his hand tight around my neck.

I couldn’t breathe and my face turned red. I felt a little blurry in my vision and I might be about to be strangled.

Just when I thought I might be strangled by Vince, my breath suddenly went out. As I breathed hard, Vince’s face slowly became clear in my vision.

He held me tight and called my name frantically.

I looked at him through tears and said, “Off you go! Get out of here. I don’t want to see you.” I felt like I was going to die as I said words against my will. I’d rather I’d just been strangled by Vince than suffer so much.

Vince stood up and dropped the key I had once given him on the floor expressionlessly. Then he went out with the suitcase in his hand. The moment the door slammed shut, I burst into tears.

I propped myself up and ran to the window. I peeped down through the curtain and saw him standing in the neighbourhood. When he looked back at my window, I hid quickly.

When I looked down again, he had disappeared.

I didn’t want to end up with him like that, but I took Qi Ouyang’s money. I knew I’m selfish. I could never get into the upper crest of the rich.

In order not to go to Vince, I moved the next day. The landlord is nice and gave me a refund of the rent for six months. I asked Qiang Mo to move the furniture back to his house. Qiang Mo asked what I would do and I replied I would go one step and look forward.
