- “You messed with the wrong people, you
- deserve this!”
- Then came endless slaps, one after another.
- I endured the excruciating pain, silently
- counting in the dark.
- Nine hundred and ninety–nine slaps!
- I was thrown on the floor like a rag doll, and
- they left.
- I didn’t see their faces, but I was sure the one
- who spoke was Jackson’s bodyguard.
- Jackson, you were so quick to avenge
- Jessica…
- Lucky’s and my lives meant less than a strand
- of Jessica’s hair?
- I went to the hospital for treatment. The nurse
- saw my injuries and offered to call the police.
- く
- I refused. Jackson was powerful, calling the
- police would only target insignificant pawns.
- I buried Lucky in my garden and stayed in a
- hotel.
- After two weeks of confinement, I went to a
- bar with some friends.
- Jackson, don’t think I can’t live without you.
- As I kissed a guy’s hand, Jackson and Jessica
- walked in.
- He glanced at me briefly and went to the
- dance floor.
- The spotlight fell on them.
- “Kiss! Kiss!”
- Everyone cheered, and Jessica shyly looked
- up at Jackson. “Jackson…”
- Before she could finish, he kissed her.
- I lost interest and went to the restroom.
- Jessica followed, looking at me in the mirror.
- “Scarlett… seeing your fiancé kissing me
- must be awful…”
- く
- “Jackson really loves me. When I got a
- tetanus shot, he let me bite his arm so I
- wouldn’t be in pain…”
- “Oh, your face is swollen, did you get into a
- fight?”
- “I heard your dog died, good riddance. It
- deserved it for biting me!”
- She always tried to take what was mine, and I
- was used to it, but not Lucky!
- Images of Lucky flooded my mind, and I
- lashed out.
- But Jackson stopped me, and I saw the bite.
- marks on his arm. I froze.
- He then pushed my face into the sink.
- “Scarlett, I won’t allow you to hurt Jessica!”
- I admit, I envied Jessica at that moment.
- The water washed over me as I cried.
- Then, two angry men rushed toward Jackson,
- holding something sharp.
- “Jackson, you’re dead!”
- <
- “Jackson, you’re dead!”
- Jackson pulled Jessica into the crowd. I was
- held at knifepoint.
- “Damn! Jackson got away, but this woman is
- his fiancée. Killing her is revenge enough!”
- Before I could explain, a sharp pain shot
- through my back, and the world went dark.
- Jackson was gone.
- I woke up, and Jackson showed rare remorse.
- “Sorry, I got you involved…”
- “Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer for
- nothing.”
- I closed my eyes, remembering him running
- away with Jessica. She was the only life that
- mattered. I was merely a shield.
- “I was… a good shield, wasn’t I…”
- I mumbled. He didn’t seem to hear.
- “What? What did you say?”
- I didn’t answer. Jackson, this is my last time
- tolerating your abuse. This heart is dead.
- く
- Seeing my silence, he left. “I’ll buy you
- something to eat. Rest, I’ll…..”
- I painfully got up and went to the rooftop. A
- Hayes family helicopter waited.
- Jackson returned with food, feeling anxious.
- He didn’t know what I liked, so he got what
- Jessica liked.
- But I wasn’t there. He felt uneasy. He had
- dealt with the threat, but seeing me covered
- in blood, he panicked. My sudden
- disappearance unnerved him.
- He rushed to the Song house. Richard was
- talking to Jessica. Seeing him, he eagerly
- gave Jessica’s hand to Jackson.
- “Jackson, I entrust Jessica to you!”
- Jackson frowned, wondering what that meant.
- He was looking for me.
- “Mr. Song, I’m looking for Scarlett…”
- “She left the hospital while still in danger…”
- Richard patted his shoulder.
- “Don’t worry about Scarlett, the Hayes family
- already took her to Chicago. Your wedding is
- off…”
- Jackson couldn’t believe his ears. Scarlett
- was his fiancée!
- Chapter 2
- Jackson frowned, a strange ache in his chest.
- His heart belonged to Jessica, yet hearing I
- was marrying someone else left him hollow.
- Jessica, noticing his distress, felt a pang of
- jealousy.
- She caressed his chest, gazing at him
- intently.
