Chapter 12

┌You are sick. I am sick┘

''I am capable of everything, Beth. Don't make me your enemy.''

Damian exclaimed knowingly.

''You should kill me now, or I promise I will make you go mad.''

The car was moving, fast and steady.

She took a glance outside, and Damian instantly understood what she was planning on doing.

''Beth, listen to me-''

''NO! Get your hands away from me.''

she tried her best to push him away.

She kicked and pushed him.

Her mental state was as unstable as the post-earthquake vibration happening to an old town.

She was frightened, agitated.

Her gaze was dark, filled with utmost dread.

Damian could see Beth for once in his life being scared.

She wasn't the strong woman who always rejected him.

He could recognize a startled little girl trying to flee from her most hurtful nightmare.

''Beth!''

he did his best to calm her down.

But she just wouldn't listen to him.

He grabbed her wrists, but that only maddened her even more.

''STAY AWAY FROM ME. YOU MURDERER-''

''MURDERER?''

''YES. IT WAS YOUR FAULT MIA DIED.''

he looked at her with complete coldness and negligence.

''No, I won't accept anything I didn't do.''

Beth was astonished by his stand.

She laughed hysterically.

The woman landed on top of him.

She grabbed his neck in her palms.

Her eyes filled with a murderous aura.

''Get off me, woman. Stop tempting me.''

he rolled his eyes at the touch of her body to his.

He didn't care that she was trying to asphyxiate him with her own hands.

But it maddened him that she hated him this badly when he loved her this much.

''YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO THE BITCH THAT KILLED HER. YOU BROKE YOUR OWN RULES FOR HER. YOU LET HER GET AWAY WITH IT. YOU STAND THERE, WATCHING ME BURN TO MY DEATH. THE FIRE THAT THE WOMAN YOU DIDN'T KILL STARTED TO KILL ME. YOU FOOLED ME BY TRYING TO SAVE ME. YOU WERE NEVER THERE, WERE YOU?''

she laughed at herself for thinking for even a second that everything was true.

His words.

His touch, his smell.

It was the perfect plan.

He fooled her too damn good.

''Good fucking job. You indeed deserve the Mafia King title. You're too wicked, way out of my league, Mister Yang. But don't worry, I will destroy you. You just need to let me go. Choose carefully.''

the man had his hands on her waist,
hearing her talking to him so disrespectfully,
like no one ever dared to do,
made him filled with lust.

But there was also pain.

Pain that she didn't believe in him.

He knew she had no reason to.

But it stung badly.

''You are sick.
I am sick.
You made me sick.
But I refuse to feel a thing for you from now on.
Not even hate.
You don't deserve anything from me. NOTHING.''

''I love you.''

he grabbed her by the back of her neck and made her look into his eyes.

How much she wanted to hear these words coming from his mouth.

Maybe if he said it some while ago, she would be able to accept it.

''BULLSHIT.''

she laughed hysterically.

Her tears came rushing down her cheeks.

She just wiped them away.

She wasn't going to let him fool her once more.

''I HATE YOU. I HATE YOU. I HATE YOU.''

she yelled at him, but she was kidding herself.

Her feelings for him were too strong, too steady.

Irreplaceable.

She just shook her head fearlessly,

''Go back to your wife, Mister Yang.''

she went off him.

She made her tone cold, distant, firm.

Her heart sank when she remembered how she touched him,
even if she knew there was only going to be a bloodbath between them.

He sensed her hurt,
her love for him.

But he didn't believe in himself for the first time in his whole life.

She was insane.

Her eyes lingered on everything she could see.

Her breathing was heavy and fast.

''Dammit, woman.''

he grabbed her by her waist again and pushed her to his body,
threateningly giving her a look.

''You won't let me explain. Is that what this is?''

she laughed viciously,

''Explain what?''

her mind was full of pictures of the two women she hated the most.

''Explain that you made me fall in love with you back then because the Bai bitch asked you to personally kill me?''

she asked coldly.

Damian looked at her with wide eyes,

''You know-''

he was utterly screwed now.

He knew, in her mind, he was the devil.

Her hell.

And her breathing enemy.

He stared at her, frustrated, trying to think of a way to explain everything.

But she didn't let him.

She continued,

''How did you lie and tell me that Natalie was being taken care of?''

his mind filled with the actions he took back then.

He hated himself for it but never regretted anything.

Beth could sense his thoughts,

''That you never apologized for being the reason all of this happened? That you let the bitch abduct me over and over again?''

''It wasn't me who ordered her, Beth.''

she ignores him,

''Then you appeared in my life once more. Exactly for what? Kill me, so no one would ever find evidence of your dirty secrets?''

''How dare you?"

he looked into her eyes desperately.

He searched for a glimpse of hope, but there wasn't any.

He couldn't lose her.

She was his life, his breath, his blood.

He wasn't going to let her get away from him.

He grabbed her neck once more and kissed her.

Ferociously.

His bloodthirsty grey eyes took another look at her.

Beth knew she couldn't resist him.

She closed her eyes unconsciously and kissed him back relentlessly.

Her restless breath landed on his neck after the kiss,

''Wish you luck on your marriage, Mister Yang.''

she bit his ear like s starving animal, as he groaned on hers.

''You got closer to me for what reason, Damian? Bai send you the second time, didn't she?
Just like the past six years, you two were the ones trying to kill my son and me. Is that correct?''

she whispered sensually to his ear.

Her voice bewitched the man.

Her foxy eyes turned to his.

She stared for an answer.

She knew she wasn't going to let out of him.

The man hardened his grip on her hips.

He knew what she was doing, and most certainly, she knew what impact she had on him.

She kissed his neck.

She bit and licked him.

She made him feel pain and took it away from him.

She sucked on his adam's apple and traced her finger lightly on the side of his neck.

''Little witch...''

''Shh Big Boss. Bella is back to take your life. But she is grateful you gave her a reason to live. She will let you go this time, but be careful, there will be no next time.''

she cupped his cheeks and kissed his lips softly.

Damian felt like she sucked his breath away.

He had never felt so powerless before.

''You love me.''

Damian stated.

She shook her head, concerned. She put her forehead to his,

''Don't blame me, Damian.''

her voice low, full of lust.

He could understand her lust for him.

He felt devastated at the thought of her never coming back.

His name on her lips was a miracle.

The sensations she gave him made him lose his mind.

Beth didn't believe any of his words anymore,

''Well done, bastard! But I won't let you destroy me anymore.''

she shoved him away and kicked his stomach.

She took a last look at his fierce face, opened the door, and jumped out of the moving vehicle.

''ARE YOU CRAZY?''

Damian yelled at the insane woman.

She'd rather jump to her death than stay with him.

It made the man infuriated and crazy, like her.

Her body reached the ground with a thump.

Other cars almost crushed her on her way out.

Her body felt sore, numb.

She could feel her bones breaking, but her training had made her too good at this.

It wasn't the first time she'd jumped out of a moving vehicle.

She knew her ways and what she had to do.

She ended up pushed up to an alley.

It wasn't easy for her to stand back on her feet.

Damian's car stopped a few meters away.

He rushed over to her, but she stepped backward at every step he took towards her.

''STOP BETH! DO YOU WANT TO DIE?''

''GO AWAY!''

she screamed her lungs out,

''BETH, PLEASE.''

he pleaded, trying to prevent her from doing anything stupid.

They were standing close enough for him to grab her,

''NO- DON'T COME ANY CLOSER OR I'LL JUMP AT THE FIRST CAR I SEE.''

he lowered his eyes at her, and she shrieked with fear.

Tears in her eyes.

He could be frightening, to the point of making her yelp.

''Come here.''

he grabbed her skillfully.

She twirled into his arms.

His pressed hardness on her back felt restless.

''Don't ever dare treat me like this witch.''

he caressed her ear,

''I-''

her sight was blurry.

She couldn't talk or feel anymore.

She blacked out on his arms.
