Rina did not reply. She took a few stacks of money from the coffee table and

threw them at him.

Thomas caught the money in his hands. He seemed excited.

Rina smirked. “You look like you’ve never seen money before.”

Thomas chuckled, and the people in the crowd began to murmur to each

other.

“The master of the house has already spoken. Her family is bankrupt, and

Liam doesn’t want her anymore. I will be the future Mrs. Mendez.” Rina turned

her head and glared at Thomas. “You’d better be quick, or I’ll pick someone

else.”

Thomas looked at the money in his hands, then at me. His facial muscles

began to contort.

It was then I realized I was not dreaming!

This was reality!

I quickly got to my feet and ran to a corner. At the same time, Thomas

charged toward me.

I had never feared so much for my life before.

I hastily looked around me and noticed a porcelain vase on the table. I

grabbed it, smashed it on the wall, and pointed the sharp edge at Thomas.

“One more step closer and I’ll kill you!”

No one in the room spoke, and Thomas stopped.

I waved the weapon in my hand and ordered, “Get out!”

Thomas did not move. He turned his head and looked at Rina.

She began to walk toward me composedly.

My heart was in my throat. I yelled, “Stop!”

“Stop?” Rina smirked. She reached out and grabbed my wrist.

She was so fast that I could not react. Suddenly, I felt excruciating pain in my

arm, and I could not move it anymore.

Rina took the broken vase from my hand, tossed it aside, and delivered a

swift knee to my stomach.

I instinctively doubled over and fell on the floor.

Rina kicked me again before turning around to address the crowd with a

smile. “Let’s begin! Remember, first come, first served!”

If everyone got 200,000 dollars, two million was not enough to be divided

among 26 people.

As soon as Rina finished, two people pounced at me.

They were gardeners, and they reeked of soil and manure, I could not move,

but I was not going to go down without a fight. I weakly raised my left arm in

a last–ditch attempt to defend myself.

One of the men grabbed my hair and slammed my head to the floor.

I was instantly overcome by intense pain and dizziness, and my vision

blurred.

My surroundings did not look real anymore.

This isn’t real… I’m definitely dreaming.

I had always been kind to other people. The only time I got physical with

someone else was when I slapped Rina.

I never hurt anyone else.

I did not think I did anything wrong to Liam. I loved him, and I was willing to

lower myself and give him my all.

How have I hurt him?

Even if he did not like me, and even if I should not say those words to him and

hurt his ego, why must he…

Why must he…

Bang!

The door slammed loudly amid the chaos.

I was pulled back from my dreams, and when I tried my best to open my

eyes, I saw a figure in white and black.

The figure looked familiar, but my vision was blurred, so I could not tell who it

was.

Who could it be?

He must be one of the male servants…

I watched him as he came closer and closer to me.

When he hugged me, I could smell that familiar scent of musk and tobacco.

I heard Rina speak, “We haven’t even started yet, Liam. You…”

“Get out,” Liam said, “All of you.”

“Don’t tell me you…” Rina said.

“Get out!” Liam roared and interrupted her.

I heard footsteps shuffling away, and the room was quiet once more.

Liam hugged me tightly. I could not hold it back and moaned softly.

He released me from his embrace and looked at me.

I averted his gaze. My heart was thumping wildly from fear.

The pain from my injured arm had spread throughout my body. I would not

Chapter 34 Sorry

make a sound if not that I could not hold it back any longer.

A long silence later, Liam suddenly reached out and held my injured arm.

I recoiled in shock.

“Don’t move,” he said gently. “It’s dislocated.”

I heard a crack in my shoulder, and the pain was greatly relieved.

Liam held out his palm. “Take my hand,” he said.

I turned away, sat on the floor, and stretched my fingers.

My hand was as good as new.

No one spoke for some time.

I did not know why he remained in the room, but I dared not speak, move, or

look at him.

Suddenly, Liam raised his hand.

He looked like he was going to grab my hair again.

I shifted backward and said, “I’m sorry…”

His hand froze in mid–air.

I lowered my head because I dared not look at him. “I’m sorry…” I mumbled.

What have I done wrong?

I don’t know, but I must’ve done something wrong.

“I’m sorry…” I repeated.

I must be at fault. It’s my fault for falling in love with him.

I’ll admit to everything. It’s all my fault.

“I’m sorry…” I repeated like a broken toy.

Liam was silent at first. My voice must have annoyed him. He grabbed my

shoulders and pinned me on the floor.

I did not resist even the slightest bit.

He leaned dangerously close, and the tip of his nose touched mine.

I could feel his warm breath on my face. He looked like a ferocious wild beast

that could snap my neck at any moment.

I did not resist.

It’s all the same anyway. At least he’s my husband. I thought.

His gaze was cold and distant, as though he was looking at a stranger.

I kneaded my sweaty palms, and I found it hard to breathe.

Suddenly, he lifted his hand and touched my cheek.

Chapter 34 Sorry

His fingers traveled down to my chin, lingered there for a moment, and slid

down to my neck.

He did not use any force, but I held my breath because of fear.

“I wish I could strangle you, just like that.” My eyes were filled with tears, and I

could not see his face. His voice was lazy and gentle. “After you die, you and I

won’t have anything more to worry about.”

He lowered his head and kissed me.

I did not know how I left that nightmare of a room later.

All I remembered was that I had a good dream that night.

In the dream, I went to the Nyra headquarters and met Liam in the lounge.
