“He’s a doctor. I met him while I was recovering in the hospital. After leaving you, I went to another country. But when I arrived, I found everything unfamiliar and difficult to get used to. That’s why I returned, and I met him after that. We got along right away… And decided to get married in a heartbeat,” Rachel Wood enunciated each word slowly and carefully.
“You’re a player!” Sebastian Brenand said through gritted teeth.
When Sebastian thought about how he found it difficult to fall asleep on certain nights while Rachel was having fun with some other man, he felt the urge to strangle her to death.
“Yeah… You should know that a woman like me is a player… Aren’t you a little too naïve? Did you believe me when I told you I loved you? To be honest, I only said those things so that I could leave you in peace. I was afraid you wouldn’t let go. That’s why I said all those things,” Rachel said as she tried to hold her tears back.
She was on the verge of breaking down emotionally, but she was still trying to put on a strong front so that her feelings wouldn’t show.
Her words were like knives stabbing at Sebastian’s chest.
Sebastian was beginning to feel doubtful. “Were you lying to me this entire time?”
“What else? Did you think I would like a womanizer like you? I can have fun with someone like you but getting married to you is impossible.
“To be honest, when we were together, I always found you disgusting and annoying…
“But you had money… For your money, I had no choice but to tolerate all of it.
“Now that I’ve made enough, I want out. That’s why I came up with that excuse.”
Rachel tried to keep calm as she continued saying these hurtful words.
As bad as he was feeling, she felt twice as bad.
Suddenly, Sebastian felt as if his heart was going to explode.
Were his feelings being played all this while?
Were the heart-warming things she said in the past all made up?
Sebastian got so angry that he raised his hand and acted as if he would slap Rachel hard across her face…
Rachel didn’t try to dodge it. Instead, she smiled coldly while holding eye contact with Sebastian.
