When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

The alcohol had probably gone to Nathaniel’s head, for his voice turned increasingly softer. Leaning back against the couch, he slowly closed his eyes.

Watching as his chest rose and fell, the urge to end him right then and there abruptly seized me.

As long as he’s dead, no one will keep targeting Ashton anymore.

But in the next instant, I realized that it wasn’t feasible.

Regardless of whether it’s Ramona or Mr. Jensen, they both hold affection toward him. Thus, they won’t stand idly by if he dies. If I want eternal peace, the only way is to take them all down.

While I was lost in my thoughts, Nathaniel’s voice sounded out of the blue. “Are you thinking of killing me again?”

“Yeah, I’d love to skin you alive so that you’ll wish for death!”

“That’s good. Having you hate me is better than you treating me as though I don’t exist.” Not in the mood to listen to his twisted logic, I huffily stood up and went back to my room upstairs.
