She then looked into his eyes that seemed like they wanted to kill her and gobble her up.
“Hmph.” Ruben pushed her away harshly. She stumbled and he didn’t move an inch.
He took out a blue handkerchief from his suit pocket. He wiped his mouth slowly and stared at Samantha. His gaze was as sharp as a scalpel as if he wanted to cut her open.
“Ruben, let’s go.” Peyton noticed the peculiar air around them. She wanted to quickly pull him away.
Ruben looked at Peyton, and fireworks were setting off in his dark eyes.
“Stay away from her from now on, don’t get bitten by some dog.” He didn’t forget to shame Samantha again.
He turned around and left, and threw his handkerchief on the ground.
As if he was trying to say that he didn’t want anything that was touched by Samantha.
Because it was filthy.
Peyton smiled and got into the car with Ruben.
Samantha felt a sharp pain in her heart seeing those two left hand in hand. She was smiling prettily but the sorrow in her eyes was profound.
The handkerchief fell onto the dirty ground. She stared at it blankly. She was breaking into million pieces, bloody all over.
He left.
He left just like that.
He cleaned his lips with the handkerchief and threw it away out of disgust because she kissed him.
She was dirty in his eyes.
She found it was hard to breathe as if a rusty saw was sawing her body. There wasn’t any blood, but it was agonizing.
Her surrounding turned quiet, so quiet it was deafening.
“Helena, let’s go. You shouldn’t act so rashly.” Clara came back to her senses after everyone left.
It was so stimulating.
Helena was probably the only person in the world who dared to do something like that. But Clara was more surprised at Ruben’s attitude. He was forcefully kissed… She wanted to know what was the limit of Ruben’s tolerance.
Samantha was in a daze, she couldn’t hear anything Clara said.
She stared at the handkerchief and was motionless like a statue.
Finally, she walked robotically and tensely. She walked towards the handkerchief.
She squatted down and picked it up with her trembling hands.
As if she picked up a treasure, she patted the dust away carefully not caring that it would dirty her hand.
Her movements were outlandish and she looked sick in the head,
“Ruben… It didn't matter that it was me from before, or me right now. You are just so heartless either way,” she muttered, her eyes were colourless.
She acted undisturbed and delighted in front of him, but now she was soulless.
How could she not feel hurt? It hurt when he threw the handkerchief away.
She felt like he mashed her heart and threw it into the valley,
She couldn't breathe.
How dare they treated her like that. She came back to take back what belonged to her.
She told herself many times that she shouldn’t wish to get back together with Ruben,
He wouldn’t love her. He would never.
But she couldn’t control herself when she saw him.
She was green with jealousy whenever she saw him getting intimate with Peyton. She wanted to destroy them with all her might.
That was why she did what she did just now.
She would be elated if Peyton was unhappy.
But she realized that she was just a loser.
“Helena, don’t be like this. Let’s go. Didn't you say that you wanted to eat spicy hot pot? I’ll order it for you.” Clara quickly went up to her. Her pretty face was filled with worry.
Samantha grabbed the handkerchief tightly as if she could feel his warmth and his scent like that.
Her heart was hurting.
“Clara…it hurts.” Samantha looked up and stared at the sun. Tears welled up in her eyes.
Clara hugged her and said, “Don’t be too sad. I’ll buy you food, don’t be sad over some useless man.”
Samantha felt like she was struggling in quicksand, Clara’s hands were saving her out of it.
She grabbed Clara’s hand tightly and tried to get some strength from her.
But her body trembled uncontrollably.
…
On the car.
“I saw the news,” said Ruben calmly.
Peyton was scared, “Sorry that I disappointed you…”
“Do you want to get the leading role? I can help you. A person like that does not deserve the leading role,” said Ruben as he looked at her and smiled.
