Forbidden Passion

Chapter 759 I Will Make You Wish You Were Dead

Ruby gradually felt it becoming harder to breathe, her brain sending signals of suffocation from lack of oxygen. Desperately, she closed her eyes, and two teardrops rolled down from her thick, long eyelashes. Donovan's eyes were filled with hatred, his black attire making him look like a demon from hell, staring at Ruby with a terrifying intensity.

There was no longer any deep love or tenderness in Donovan's eyes, only hate. His gaze seemed to pierce through Ruby's heart.

Ruby could even hear the creaking sound of Donovan's hand tightening around her neck. For a moment, she almost thought he would snap her neck. Ruby thought, 'Maybe it's better to die.'

But in the next second, Ruby was pushed away, falling into a nearby flower bed. The branches scratched her skin, and pain instantly surged through her. Fresh air rushed into her lungs. Ruby ignored the pain, sitting down by the edge of the flower bed, coughing violently from the sudden intake of air.

Her throat felt terrible, and Ruby coughed until tears and snot ran down her face, looking very disheveled.

Donovan looked down at Ruby, his lips coldly pressed together, showing no sympathy for her weakness.

Having gone through a crisis once, Donovan would not easily trust Ruby again.

"Stop pretending in front of me, Ruby. I'm telling you, I'm back, and your good days are over," Donovan said sinisterly.

Ruby didn't want Donovan to see her in such a state. She turned slightly to block his view. "I know you hate me. I don't want to justify what I've done. You can take revenge on me however you want; I won't resist." Donovan sneered, "You've learned quite a bit about manipulating people over the years, haven't you?"

Ruby knew Donovan hated her, so no matter what she said, he would always misinterpret her intentions.

Seeing her silence, Donovan grew angrier. "Tell me, how did you convince Phoebe to take you in? She usually seems smart, but she must have been out of her mind to let you move into her home, putting such a ticking time bomb right next to her."

Ruby suddenly looked up and glared at Donovan. "I won't let you talk about Phoebe like that."

Donovan slowly walked over, and when he stopped beside Ruby, she flinched in fear. Donovan looked down at her, "Still pretending in front of me?"
