The Woman From Hell

A trace of bitterness flashed across Tyler's face, but it faded quickly. He resumed smiling and said faintly," It's not important whether you believe me. What’s important is that I can't leave you. Wanda, let’s go back to the old life we had, alright?"

He spoke of it very casually, but I had goosebumps listening to him. The past was a nightmare to me. If I had to go back to that life, I would rather choose death.

"Does it mean that things between us will only end if I die?" The healing wound deep in my heart started to hurt again.

His gaze flickered and radiated with murderous intent, but it quickly disappeared as he held my hand. He smiled and said faintly, "You won’t die if you have me with you. I won't leave you, so you must live well."

I went silent. The despair in my heart began to spread boundlessly.

"Leave Theo. He's not worthy of you. I'll bring you back to our old house and we can go back to our old lives. We’ll be happy," he said softly.

I laughed silently. Everyone was saying that I was not worthy of Theo but he was the only one who would say Theo was not worthy of me.

"Let's not go back, Tyler. Ever since Mom died, we can't go back to the past. Consider the fact that we grew up together and lived together for so many years and please let me go," I pleaded in a low voice. Although I knew it was useless, I still begged him.

He lay down on the lawn with both his hands supporting his head as his dark eyes became a little gloomy. After a long while, he spoke faintly, "I want that too, but I can't do it."

I laughed bitterly. Tyler and I were like a knot that could never be undone, not even for a little while. However, life had to go on. We would take it step by step!

I stood up and said, "I can’t walk any farther. Send me back."

I started to accept it. He was now treating me as prey t o spend his pastime. He would not do anything to me for now. At least I would be temporarily safe.

Tyler drove me to the front of the villa. Coincidentally, Theo's car also just came back.

Seeing our car, he sat in the car and did not step down. He just silently looked in our direction.

Even though there was some distance between us, I could feel the coldness in his stare.

Tyler also realized that Theo was a distance away and held down my hand that was about to unfasten the seat belt. He smiled maliciously and said, "Theo is right there looking at us. What will he think if you don't get out of the car after a long time?"

I glanced at him and spat out, "Lame." I struggled to get out of the car.

Tyler reached his hand out to lock the doors. That smile was still on his face, but it was spooky. "Do you want to try? Let's see if he’ll care about you or get jealous."

"Do you want me dead, Tyler?” I was about to have a breakdown as I looked at that malicious face of his. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"Don't you dare. I'm your brother. I only want to confirm for you whether he's worthy or not." Tyler lowered his face and leaned over.

My hands were being held by him and I could not move. I helplessly watched his face lean closer. I tried hard to turn my head away but still could not avoid him.

His thin cold lips fell lightly on me as he planted a kiss on the side of my mouth. He immediately curled his lips and smiled, provokingly looking at Theo.

"You're crazy!" I was extremely furious and scolded him.

"Yes, I'm crazy. And not just a little," Tyler spoke slowly without getting angry.

Theo suddenly got out of the car and slammed the car door heavily as he left.

"Let go of me." I insisted with a cold but angry voice.

He ignored me. With a smile, he said proudly, "Look, h e doesn't even love you. He doesn't care at all that you're being affectionate with other people. Why should you hold on to someone like that?"

Tyler had learned the skills of killing and condemning people. I still had some expectations earlier but now...

However, I did not want to let Tyler see what was deep inside my heart. I chuckled and said, "It’s not important whether he loves me or not. What's important is that I love him. I can't leave..."

I was not done with my words when there was suddenly a dull noise from outside of the car. The whole car started to shake.

I raised my eyes in a panic just to find out that Theo was standing right in front of the car. His gaze was fierce. He was holding a hammer in his hands and smashed it heavily on Tyler's expensive car.
