Love After Leaving: No Regret (Agnes and Raymond) novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116 Furious Man

Raymond’s face was a storm cloud as he stalked over to Ethan, seized him by the jaw, and wrenched violently back into place.

Ethan screamed in agony, nearly convulsing from the pair, but at least he could finally speak. “God, i hurts! It hurts!” he wailed, writhing and clutching his face.

Any delusions of fighting back evaporated. With Raymond this unhinged, Ethan knew better than to

a muscle.

Only then did he really get a look at the man-Duncan’s supposed “tutor,” the guy he’d glimpsed outs St. Austen University.

“You… what the hell do you want from me?” Ethan stammered. His is voice cracking.

Raymond’s tone was like a blade dipped in ice. “How dare you pull something like this?”

Ethan was floundering, confused and desperate-was this guy some hidden guardian of Agnes?

He’d never seen anyone around her at school before.

“You’re crazy! Why are you coming at me? What did I ever do to you?” Ethan spat, panic rising.

Just then, the bartender returned with medics. They quickly checked Agnes and announced, “Mr. Newt she’s been drugged, but she’ll recover once the air clears!

Hearing “Mr. Newton,” Ethan’s heart plummeted.

Wait, not just a tutor-Newton?

Duncan was a Newton, and so was this guy…

Watching everyone bow and scrape before the man, terror dawned. Oh, hell-was this really…?

Jesus Christ, Duncan! You played me!

Ethan’s face drained of color. “You… you’re Raymond?”

A bodyguard in black slapped him so hard his head snapped sideways. “You don’t call Mr. Newton by name!”

Panic took over. Ethan dropped to his knees, blubbering, “Mr. Newton, please, it’s not what you think?

“Duncan put me up to this-he bet me I couldn’t sleep with her, said to record it, and told me you were just some family tutor!

“I didn’t know she was yours-I swear, I’m garbage, I’m filth, please let me go!

“I’ll do anything! Anything you ask me to! I didn’t mean to!

“I’m Rebecca’s boyfriend-please, for her sake, show mercy! My dad will pay for anything you want. Just

don’t kill me!

“I’m my family’s only son”

Raymond’s reputation had always hovered like a shadow-dangerous, lethal, untouchable. Now, faced the real thing, Ethan’s composure crumbled, and he babbled every secret in a desperate bid for mercy.

His pants were already soaked with something rancid.

At the door, Rebecca stood frozen, the tableau before her a waking nightmare.

She saw everything-Agnes unconscious and half-dressed-Ethan is beaten and groveling on the floor. Raymond radiating menace.

The pieces fell together. Ethan had apologized that night, promised her the world, and begged for a second chance.

She’d only come back for her phone, only to walk into this disaster.

Ethan, spotting her, lunged for hope. “Rebecca! Please, help me! Tell Mr. Newton it’s all a mistake-I lov you. I only want you! Nothing happened with Agnes, I swear! You and Agnes are best friends. He’ll listen you-please, beg him for me!”

Rebecca’s heart was in shreds, but for Ethan’s sake, she dropped to her knees beside him.

“Mr. Newton, please, Ethan didn’t mean any harm. This is all a misunderstanding. When Agnes wakes up she’ll tell you-please, I beg you, don’t hurt him.”

“Yes, yes-Rebecca’s right, it’s all a misunderstanding” Ethan echoed, desperate.

Raymond’s face never softened, his presence like a glacier in the room. Last time, he’d only broken Duncan’s leg as a warning.
