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

Given that I was filled with guilt over Rose’s death, Nick’s words unleashed the pent-up emotions within me.

Suddenly, Nathaniel reached out to grab me. Before I could react, he launched an uppercut and knocked the wind out of Nick. After which, Nick was taken away.

“Nick!” Despite my attempt to get to him, I was powerless against Nathaniel’s strength. All I could do was scream, “Let me go! Let me go, you b*stard!”

Having lost his patience, Nathaniel grabbed both my arms and forcefully turned me to face him.

“You told me that you won’t harm my family. Are you going back on your word?” I bellowed. Despite the sharp pain in my bones, I didn’t wince at all.

“It’s up to you whether I keep my promise or not.” With a darkening gaze, Nathaniel broke into a vicious smile. “I don’t like to see you crying, Scarlett. The next time I see him make you cry, he will have to pay for it with his life.”

“In that case, you should kill yourself first! The person who hurt me the most is you, and no one else.”

Stung by my words, Nathaniel was shocked momentarily. However, he quickly regained his viciousness. “Don’t try and reason with me. In my world, you’re the one who’s being unreasonable. Despite how much I compromised with you, why don’t you ever learn what’s good for you?”
