My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 104

I thought Nicholas would not look for me again after I had so decisively jumped off the building last time, yet, here he was!

I didn't even know where he had gotten my address.

I was so angry that I wanted to slam the door shut, but he immediately reached out and pulled me into his arms; this was an action that he was all too familiar with.

It was also something that he had taken for granted.

He closed the door with his foot and carried me back to the bedroom before putting me on the bed. Then, he tied my hands with a belt so I couldn't break free.

I glared at him, utterly furious as I sneered, "What are you trying to do?"

He kept quiet and stared at me intensely. However, he didn't do anything more than just sit beside me and run his fingers through my hair.

"I can't bear to let you go," he said.

Now, I felt amused when I laughed and asked, "What do you want me to do about it?"

He was really testing my patience!

"Ree, will you come back to me?"

When I heard this, I was at a loss for words.

"Ree, I was wrong… I really was wrong… I thought that… I thought by doing this…"

Nicholas' speech was incoherent, and I could tell he was heartbroken. Seeing him like this made my heart ache, so I turned away from him.

"Ree, can you say something?"

At this moment, he looked like a god brought down low, and it was all because of me; it was a look I had never seen on him. As my eyes began to water, I mumbled, "Don't be like this. Don't make me look down on you. After all, it was you who wanted to leave first."

That day, I begged and begged for him under the pouring rain…

And what did he do?!

He started lashing out at me for telling the cruel truth.

"I was just—"

"Stop trying to tell me things I want to hear," I interrupted him.

"I'm doing this for your own good," he replied, aggrieved.

At this point, I remained silent, fearing I'd start screaming in rage.

Finally, he reached out and patted my cheek. At that moment, a sense of powerlessness rose in my heart, and I lightly said, "I promised Christopher."

When Nicholas heard this, he was stunned. "What?"

Then, I spouted some piercing lies just to hurt him, "I promised I'd be his woman, so I can't betray him again for you this time! I've originally liked Christopher first ever since nine years ago, but I made a mistake and married you instead. Now, my promise to be with him allows me to get back on track."

As soon as I finished saying this, Nicholas reached out and grabbed my neck, choking me; I began to gasp for air. Right then, I realized that he was trying to kill me.

I stared at Nicholas as I slowly suffocated; his face was particularly gloomy and terrifying. Then, just as I thought I was about to die, he suddenly threw me on the bed and bit my lips.

I felt a gush of pain, and the taste of blood oozed into my mouth. I wanted to push him off, but I was still tied up. So, I began to cry aggrievedly, "I do want to forgive you, I don't want to be so cold towards you, but Nicholas, you and I know that I can't let go of the past… I had cancer because of you, yet I forgave you. I was infertile because of you, yet I forgave you. I even forgive you for giving me this scar on my face… But that day, at the church's door, it was the last straw…"

How can I let go of the estrangement in my heart and love him again?

However, he ignored what I said and pulled off my clothes recklessly before he stopped, right at the moment when I lost all hope.

He looked at me with sadness and anger; there was also a hint of indescribable despair.

Then, he asked hoarsely, "Will you marry him?"

I gritted my teeth and lied, "Yes."

"Renee, you're going to lose him."

That was the curse Nicholas gave me before he left!

Although he had left the room, I was still tied to the bed. It was highly uncomfortable to be lying there helplessly.

At this moment, I received a call from Clair. I crawled over and pressed the answer button with my finger. His worried voice immediately came from the other end, "Ree, Nicholas just called me."

When I heard this, I took a deep breath and asked, "What did he say?"

"He said that he was heartbroken and didn't know what to do. He reminded me of myself back then… I've never told you about my relationship with your sister-in-law, but it wasn't as smooth-sailing as it seems. Ree, it is hard for a man to show his feelings, but once he truly expresses himself, it would mean that it had gone too far."

My eyes fluttered shut as I asked, "What are you trying to say?"

"Give him another chance, Ree."

When Clair noticed my silence, he added gently, "Nicholas loves you. Maybe he doesn't know how to express it correctly, but you are his life. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given everything up to marry Alice…"

"But that's not what I wanted!" I snapped back.

"But that was the only thing he could do for you! What do you want him to do? Watch you die? Look at this another way. Would you watch him die? Renee, what on earth did he do that is so wrong that it made you hate him so much? His original intention was to ensure you live and that you'll live a healthy life!"

At this point, I could tell that Clair was furious. He even called me by my name.

I panted harshly when I heard this but kept my stony silence. Then, finally, he sighed and reminded me, "Don't wait until it's too late. You might lose him by then."

Then, he added, "Do you think that I've never hated him before? Do you think I'm doing this for him? I hope you can think things through."

He hung up the phone as soon as he was done talking, and I let out a sigh. It took me a while before I could free myself and get up, tossing the belt aside.

Fortunately, Nicholas did not tie it too tightly.
