When the Boss’ Lady Became His Sister-in-law

Chapter 66

Kristin was shaking like a leaf.

Demands? What kind of demands was she supposed to make?

“Just go to sleep.” James let go of Kristin, his voice hoarse.

Scared out of her wits, Kristin dashed back to her room and slammed the door shut.

Leaning against the corner, she slid down onto the floor. Biting her fingers fiercely, she was losing control, her hands numb and not listening to her.

What could she do? She just couldn’t shake off that night’s ordeal. It felt like she would never escape that shadow and that hell.

Those people wrecked her…

Grasping her hair, Kristin became more rapid in her breath.

Over the years, she’s been filled with hate, rage, and had lost control.

Why? Why did this happen to her? What did she do wrong?

What rights did she have when everything seemed to be a backlash against her?

She was crazed with thoughts of revenge, wanting to drag them down to hell with her.

But then there’s this thing called conscience… Why did it have to stick to her?

Why should she be condemned? Why should she be the one to suffer, denying herself over and over? Why should she think it’s all her fault because she had no right to enjoy the life that could have been Ruby’s for twenty years? It was all on her.

She was asking for it!

Why should she bend over backwards for her child and for everyone, doing things she didn’t want to do?

Why did it have to be so exhausting?

She longed for release. During her sickness even breathing felt like a ton of bricks, she was gasping for air, feeling choked, desperately trying to save herself.

Her soul was struggling and she didn’t want to die, but her body kept mechanically simulating countless ways to end it all.

What was she supposed to do? Who could save her?

Curling up, Kristin clutched her hair tightly.

No one could save her, everyone would rather stomp on her while she was down.

In the darkness, no light would appear. Nor would someone genuinely reach out to help her.
