My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 734 I’m Not Him

Ezekiel's kick was devastating, and the pain in the spot he hit was excruciating. Coupled with my pre-existing discomfort, I felt utterly miserable, especially while getting drenched in the pouring rain.

My white dress was completely soaked, and I shivered, looking at the man holding a red umbrella before me. His gaze was filled with unprecedented cruelty and rage, but he quickly composed himself. "I'm not angry," he denied.

"Mr. Hastings, you are angry, but I must tell you that what you're doing is wrong. These people... those who are killing each other here—they have been your loyal followers. They devoted themselves to you, so what fault do they have? Just because you are inexplicably upset, it doesn't give you the right to vent on them. You really have no mercy in your heart," I said it candidly.

I should not have said that because Ezekiel never had any mercy.

He was always seen as the destroyer by everyone.

Suddenly, Robina grabbed my wrist. "Don't say anything more. It'll only anger Mike further," she whispered.

Ezekiel's expression changed dramatically. He looked at me in disbelief. "You dare to defy me? Do you really think I won't hit you?"

I stared at him fearlessly and said, "Mr. Hastings, you just kicked me just now, and I'm in a lot of pain. You even bit my shoulder earlier, and it hurts too!!"

I wanted to make him aware of my pain.

I wanted to force him to acknowledge it.

Ezekiel tightly gripped the red umbrella. "Shut up!" he shouted.

His pupils reddened. The strong wind blew, causing his shirt to flutter, and he seemed to lose control of the umbrella. His gaze locked on me, scrutinizing, as if he was seeking some kind of answer.

My body swayed as I struggled to stand up, but I clarified to him, "I told you before that I have a wonderful brother. He is the gentlest person in the world, yet also the cruelest. He had always shown me his tender side, but now... now he's revealing his most ruthless and heartless side to me. I never expected him to treat those who follow him this way... But I don't blame him. I never would blame him because he's now in a dark abyss. I promised him once that no matter what, I would extend my hand to pull him out."

"Shut up," Ezekiel coldly scolded.
