Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 286

Rita's POV:

After hanging up on Scarlett, hatred coursed through every nerve in my body. This time, I wasn't going to let her go. I would let her know just how horrible it felt to be heartbroken!

"Stop crying!" The baby's crying was starting to upset me, so I grabbed the tape from the table, ready to seal the boy's mouth. However, my mother stopped me.

"Are you crazy? Doing that will suffocate him to death! If that boy dies, it won't do you any good. Remember, your target is Scarlett."

"But I want to kill them all!" I growled through gritted teeth.

"Rita, calm down. If you kill the boy, Charles will never forgive you. That's enough!" My mother held my hand, trying her best to stop me.

'She wants me to stop?'

I sneered. 'It's impossible for me to stop now. Scarlett has ruined my life! How come she gets to live a good life, while I'm living like a sewer rat? There's no turning back for me this time. I won't stop until vengeance is mine!'

I shook off my mother's hand and sealed James ' lips with some tape. The sight of Scarlett's child gradually losing oxygen satisfied me.

"You've gone crazy!" My mother rushed to the boy's side, and tore off the tape from his mouth.

"If he dies, you won't have any bargaining chip to blackmail Scarlett with!"

"Fine! For the time being, I'm going to leave the boy alive. But once Scarlett arrives, I'm going to let them die together!"

Scarlett's POV:

I was already panicking at this point, and I was practically on the verge of breaking down. 'No matter what, I must save James! He's waiting for me!'

"Scarlett, I can't let you go there alone. Take me with you!" Tracy pleaded as she held my hand.

"I can't take you, Tracy. If Rita finds out that someone is following me, she's going to hurt James. Just give me the car keys. Please." I snatched the car keys away from Tracy.

"Scarlett, I've already contacted the police. They'll send someone to follow you. But for the sake of James' safety, they're going to keep a respectable distance away from you. Promise me that you'll be careful, okay? Remember to protect yourself," Lawrence said to me sincerely.

"I promise, Dad. Anyway, I'll be leaving now." I nodded at him. Truthfully, I didn't hear most of what he said. Right now, my mind was elsewhere and all I could think of was James crying and shouting for me to save him.

Along the way, I floored the accelerator, speeding across the highway.

'James, please hold on. Mommy is coming!' I prayed in my heart, hoping that God would hear me.

At long last, I arrived at the beach. I parked my car somewhere inconspicuous, got out of it, and planned to slowly approach the villa. Suddenly, Rita called me again. I could hear just how complacent she was over the phone. "I've already seen you, Scarlett. Come to the room on the north side of the second floor. And hurry the fuck up! I'm getting impatient!"

Hurriedly, I ran towards the villa. But the second I stepped foot inside the house, I got hit on my right shoulder.

"Argh!" Tears flowed out of my eyes when I felt the sharp pain, and I could smell the strong odor of blood when I took a breath. My body trembled as I fell to my knees. With difficulty, I looked up and saw a man standing in front of me. He had a face devoid of emotion.

"Rita asked me to tell you that if you can't make it to the room in ten minutes, your son will die."

Upon hearing that, I struggled to get up. My shoulder felt like it was burning from the pain, and my blood fell to the floor, creating a dripping sound. As I took a deep breath, I felt like my lungs were imploding from the pain.
