When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1843

Chapter 1843 Freedom

Given that I was filled with guilt over Rose’s death, Nick’s words unleashed the pent-up emotions within me.

Suddenly, Nathaniel reached out to grab me. Before I could react, he launched an uppercut and knocked the wind out of Nick. After which, Nick was taken away.

“Nick!” Despite my attempt to get to him, I was powerless against Nathaniel’s strength. All I could do was scream, “Let me go! Let me go, you b*stard!”

Having lost his patience, Nathaniel grabbed both my arms and forcefully turned me to face him.

“You told me that you won’t harm my family. Are you going back on your word?” I bellowed. Despite the sharp pain in my bones, I didn’t wince at all.

“It’s up to you whether I keep my promise or not.” With a darkening gaze, Nathaniel broke into a vicious smile. “I don’t like to see you crying, Scarlett. The next time I see him make you cry, he will have to pay for it with his life.”

“In that case, you should kill yourself first! The person who hurt me the most is you, and no one else.”

Stung by my words, Nathaniel was shocked momentarily. However, he quickly regained his viciousness. “Don’t try and reason with me. In my world, you’re the one who’s being unreasonable. Despite how much I compromised with you, why don’t you ever learn what’s good for you?”

“In that case, stop tolerating my actions!” Just when I was desperately struggling, I was struck by an idea. Taking the ring off my finger, I threw it away in front of him. “I don’t want this nor you anymore! I don’t need a crazy control freak in my life!”

Ding! Ding!

A crisp clink was heard the moment the ring hit the ground. After rolling by the window, it finally came to a stop.

Nathaniel had let go of me the second I threw the ring away. His eyes trailed the ring’s trajectory until it fell onto the floor. As if he was frozen, he continued to stare blankly at it.

The silence that ensued was deafening.

Under such uncertain circumstances, I wasn’t sure if I had crossed his threshold. As if I had lost it, I was ready to die. “Go on, make it quick.”
