Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 595

Brian frowned at Molly's upset face. It was obvious that Molly would have rather fallen into a heap than be helped up by him.

"Mol?" He gazed into Molly's eyes as he made a promise, "Whoever did this to Mark, I'm going to make sure he pays. Do you trust that I'll do that? Do you trust me?"

Molly sneered because for her these were just mere empty words. 'What do you want to do? Play a game on how much I trust you? Stupid!'

"Brian, are you actually hesitating because of her? Am I hearing this right?" Tears streamed down her face as she spoke—some even getting in her mouth. The bitter taste made her flinch. It seemed that Molly had lost all her trust on Brian. She continued, "I guess, I'm wrong again like I've always been." Brian still wanted to talk this over with Molly but as he was about to speak, Molly suddenly turned her head towards Becky.

A surge of emotions flashed across Becky's eyes—so fast that even Brian and Eric weren't able to catch it. They just both merely responded to Molly staring at Becky.

Molly glared at Becky—not saying a word. But in her silence, her anguish ate her up. Every time she finally chose to have hope and believe, reality comes swooping up to remind her that no, she was wrong to hope and believe. And this was exactly what happened today. She was drowning in despair and Brian extinguished her only ray of hope. She took a long and deep breath and spoke slowly, choosing each word carefully, "Becky, congratulations. You win." She pushed Eric away who still had his arm stretched out to help her balance. Then she turned and left without another word.

"Molly!" Eric called as he chased after her.

But Brian remained motionless. He stood in silence just watching Molly's back as she walked away until she disappeared. Fear and panic came looming in to Brian. He felt as if he was drowning as if every time he came up to gasp for air, someone would push him down again - as if they wanted him to suffer first before being killed. He really wanted to know what happened but every time he tried, he came up blank. Eventually, he just gave up and decided to let his hopelessness eat him up.

"Brian-"

"Becky," Brian interrupted Becky. He didn't want to talk anymore so he just said, "I chose to believe you but that doesn't mean we're getting back together or you can ask something from me. And this is the last time I'm trusting you. And one last thing, don't you ever do anything to anger me. I will stop at nothing. I can easily arrange for something that will make you disappear."

As soon as he finished talking, he turned around and walked away, unflinching. This was going to be the last time that he protected that little girl from years ago who had helped him before.
