Chapter 181

The wind blew like a hurricane as the rain became heavier and heavier.

The raindrops fell into her eyes and blurred her sight.

Victoria widened her eyes as she stared at the tall figure coming closer and closer to her.

Ten meters left. Five meters. Three.

Only one man was reflected in her eyes that was blurred by tears and rain.

“G-Gez—”

All her words were trapped in her throat as she watched the man walk past her with no trace of hesitation at all.

He had ambled past her as if she was the most unfamiliar stranger in his life—he never even spared her a glance.

At that moment, she even wondered if she had gotten the wrong person.

However, that man was the love of her life whom she had carved into her soul. As long as she was close to him, the blood in her veins would begin to sing.

Moreover, she would never mistake that familiar scent of his that seeped into every one of her pores even if he was in a crowd.

Lionel, do you really hate me that much? Do you despise me to the point you think of me as just a passerby in your journey of life? Do you abhor me so much you won't even spare me one glance? There are millions of ways to torment a soul in this world, but only your disregard and indifference are able to teach me what it is to feel a pain bone-deep. I thought that you would be angry and in pain; I thought you would resort to violence and slap me continuously to unleash the bitterness you felt onto me. And I was prepared to take on your emotions. Yet the cruel reality has told me that I'm but a speck of dust in this world—so small I can't even make a ripple in your life. Do you know that your disregard is what hurts me the most? Have I left no mark in your life at all? Must you treat me like air when we see each other again? Must you treat me like a stranger that you know so well?

When the footsteps behind her faded away, Victoria snapped back to her senses.

She slowly turned around to watch the familiar figure climb up the stairs with an umbrella in his hands through the veil of rain.
