Nemesis Game novel Chapter 69

He approached her suddenly like a snowstorm.

Samantha looked right into his eyes without fear, "Why are you still alive?"

She laughed suddenly, there were desperation and misery in her bright eyes.

She didn't forget the humiliation at the party that night, she would never forget.

Ruben stared at her sharply.

Neither of them was willing to step back. They stared at each other in silence, both pairs of eyes were filled with flames.

"You seek revenge on me because of Peyton." His flaming eyes were swallowed by darkness at once, he said slowly while staring at her.

Samantha was stunned but tried to act calm, "What do you think?"

Ruben released her, he walked unsteadily towards the bed and sat down while pinching his forehead.

"Helena… did I know you?" His voice was husky, and he felt his throat was burning.

His question hit Samantha to the core. A hot flush went across her body and blurred her sight, she tried so hard to control her racing heart.

"I'm nothing but an online celebrity that seeks fame through man, how would I possibly know someone like Mr. Knight?" She felt she was getting weak, and her hands grabbed tightly onto the corner of her clothes.

Ruben smiled, "You hate me."

His tone was emotionless, calm, and steady but still made her extremely nervous.

Did he know? That she hated him?

So, he suspected that everything she said before was crap?

"If I failed to trick Mr. Knight, then I won't be able to get to Peyton Moore, of course, I'll be angry." She put on a mysterious smile and kept going around the bushes, she refused to face him directly.

Ruben became silent, he bit his lips and looked at the scenery outside the villa. It was full of palm trees, the golden bright shine of dawn fell in between the leaves, and made the entire place looked like paradise.

It was hot outside, but he felt as if his body was attacked by the breezy wind.

He tried to move but the movement tore open the wounds on his shoulders. He frowned in pain.

The sudden silence changed the dangerous atmosphere into coldness.

Samantha's sight fell right at his wounded back, the view frightened her.

What happened to him? Why was he injured so seriously?

Ruben was able to stand by himself at first, but his sights become blurry slowly, the sunlight shine right into his eyes and he felt hot and cold at the same time.

His breathing was fast and unstable, he bent down slowly in front of her, like a mountain that was about to collapse.

"Are you alright?" Samantha bit her lips and walked over.

Ruben was always strong; he would never show his weakness in front of others.

But he couldn't hold it any longer now.

What was that that defeated him?

"I… was never wrong, and never will be…" he laughed and threw up a mouthful of blood.

"Ruben Knight!" Samantha was astounded, she fell kneeling in front of him.

Ruben sat down slowly onto the floor; he lowered his head gazing at the blood on the floor. He could smell the blood on his chest, the pain made him lost his consciousness gradually.
