Nemesis Game novel Chapter 3

In the hospital.

The white light in the ward was shining on Samantha’s hospital bed. She was dreaming, and her nice face was pale, and all scrunched up. From time to time, she was mumbling in pain.

“Don’t…don’t come here…”

“Don’t hurt my voice cord.”

“Ruben… it hurts. I’m in pain… save me.”

She was muttering in agony. Her voice rang across the room in a minor key like a sorrow melody.

Ruben was sitting next to the bed. He stared at her profoundly as she kept calling out his name. She curled up into a ball in anguish. He looked gloomy.

How did she hurt her voice cord?

Suddenly, Samantha opened her eyes. Her sight was still blurry, but she saw Ruben’s handsome face. She was instantly awake.

“You’re lucky that you didn’t die!” said Ruben disdainfully.

Samantha smirked, “I won’t die before you and Peyton die!”

She wouldn’t die before she took everything that was hers back and made Peyton suffer what she had gone through.

Ruben got angry and clenched her neck tightly again.

“Don’t curse Peyton!” His eyes were wintry, and he wanted to kill her.

Samantha couldn’t breathe because she was being choked, but she laughed indifferently, “If curses work I’ll be cursing her every day!”

Her coarse and crackling voice was not nice to listen to. Ruben’s frown softened.

He flung his hand away and stood up. He looked down at her and said, “Samantha, you will pay for this!”

Samantha didn’t give a damn, she caressed her slightly flaming neck and shrugged, “I don’t have to lose.”

They weren’t mother and daughter, they were more like strangers.

Mrs. Moore walked up to her and slapped her. Samantha’s nose started to bleed and she was dumbfounded.

“Samantha! I thought you are just uneducated, but you are so evil! Peyton was adopted, but I brought her up. Yes, you suffered for all these years, but Peyton did too.” Mrs. Moore was berating Samantha and was saying nice words about Peyton.

Samantha looked at her indifferently and her cheek felt number than ever.

What Mrs. Moore said was tearing her hurt into pieces.

Peyton suffered?

Crazy. Everyone in the Moore family was batshit mad.

“Peyton was a good girl, she was gentle and kind. She sacrificed herself to protect the name of the Moore family. She knew that you were coming back and voluntarily gave Ruben, her childhood friend to you. She almost lost her dignity because of the thug you hired. You being thrown to jail was your own fault. What are you still unsatisfied about? Are you heartless?”
