Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 514

Now, Molly's eyes were red, too. She didn't know how to respond to her brother's accusations. What Daniel said was right. It was all her fault. If she didn't try to escape from Brian's clutches, the man wouldn't have grounded her family. Her mother's early death was also her fault. And if not for her actions, there would be no need for Steven to leave the country. And Daniel would probably not have ended up a drug addict. All of it was her fault!

Shaking off Spark's arms that held her, Molly clenched her fists and bit her lips as she tried to prevent her tears from falling. The girl walked towards the gate dragging her feet.

"Mol?" Spark asked worriedly as he trotted behind her.

She sniffed and gritted her teeth. "I want to be alone for a while," she told him. To her brother, she said, "Daniel, I'm begging you. Please, stay at home and don't go anywhere."

Before anyone could say something, she dragged herself out of the house.

After the rain, the sky remained a dull gray. Molly could smell the grass and the wet ground as she walked. She felt chilly every time the wind blew.

Molly walked wordlessly along the familiar street. Although much had changed in the city in the last four years, she still knew every street.

Suddenly, she felt something wet on her cheek. Molly wondered if it was rain falling again or her tears. She looked up at the sky then realized that people had started to quicken their pace. All of a sudden, the heavens dumped big, fat raindrops everywhere.

Before Molly could seek shelter, she was soaking wet. Her clothes clung to her back. She decided to stand where she was and just let the rain fall around her. Before she knew it, she was laughing wildly.

The sound of laughter eventually became miserable and then desperate.

Molly was laughing out loud under the pouring rain. People who passed by looked at her curiously as they hurried to stay dry. No one stopped to ask her why she was laughing.

She couldn't stop laughing, and Molly didn't know why she was doing it.

Life had been peaceful in the last four years. And Molly was foolish enough to believe that everything that happened in her past was finally over and she could forget it all. The woman used to think she could pretend to be happy, but was just now realizing that from the very start, nothing was real.

God would never bless her. He would torture her until she lost everything. And still, she wasn't miserable enough for him to stop.

Molly began screaming wildly.

She laughed and laughed as if it would relieve her grief and anguish. But the more Molly laughed, the more resentment she felt.

When the bitterness she felt was too overwhelming, tears replaced the laughter. Molly's life now could be likened to a dark and gloomy sky. After four years of a very satisfying life, she knew it was back to a hard life.
