The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 23 Light and Fire

Chapter 23 Light and Fire

Lily had never expected John to show up during the most humiliating moment of her life.

Back then, when she was being bullied, he had stepped forward, shouted at the others to stop, and draped his jacket over her trembling shoulders.

It had been a gray, rainy day. He’d broken through the storm clouds to stand before her like a beam of light.

That was when she had fallen helplessly in love with him.

She had always believed it was him–he was the one who pulled her out of the abyss.

And so, she had been willing to give him everything.

But when Elsa returned to the country, John was the one who shoved her heart back into the flames of hell.

The light that once illuminated her world had gone dark.

And with it, her love for him was gone too.

It was nearly noon when Lily finally stirred from sleep and opened her heavy eyelids.

She had left her phone on silent. As she sat up in bed, she noticed a flashing screen–an incoming call from an unfamiliar number.

Thinking it might be a film crew, she hurried to answer.

“Lily, you disgusting homewrecker! You slutty fox spirit! How dare you come between Mr. John and our Elsa? I hope your entire family gets gang–raped and hit by a truck! I hope you die a miserable death!”

“If you don’t publicly apologize to Elsa, I’ll never forgive you!”

Lily’s fists clenched slowly. Her whole body went cold.

Elsa’s rabid fans really went all out.

Still, Lily didn’t hang up immediately. Instead, she answered word by word: “I don’t need forgiveness from a brainless idiot. Hope you get a new brain soon.”

“You filthy b*tch! You-!”
