Chapter 67 Disfigurement (2)
"Rachael, why are you here?" A joyful and tender voice came from all the mocking. Alicia walked over with a smile. Noticing I was beaten up, she seemed to be a little surprised, but the corners of her mouth were curling up with delight.
"Alicia, you're here. I miss you so much!" Kaleb quickly stepped forward and hugged her the minute he saw her. Alicia wrapped her arms around his neck, and they kissed each other as if no one else was around. The five other men stared at them with lascivious gaze and swallowed in envy.
"Kaleb, I miss you too!" Alicia snuggled up to Kaleb.
I watched indifferently and felt nauseated. She was the most shameless woman I had ever seen. One moment ago, she had been flirting with Marlon, but now she was enjoying herself in the arms of another man. Moreover, she was pregnant with Marlon's child!
However, what she did had nothing to do with me. Because no matter how hard I described her affair to Marlon, he would only assume I was vicious and wanted to slander her. Since that was the case, why should I meddle in their business? The most important thing for me now was to figure out a way to get out of here.
"Alicia, what is this? I don't recall I did anything to upset you recently!" I forced myself to calm down while looking at Alicia.
She left Kaleb's embrace and walked to me gracefully step by step. Then she crouched down and slapped me abruptly. Her sharp fingernails cut through my cheek, the pain acute. Afterwards, she lifted my chin and said, "Didn't you? Rachael, haven't I said you needed to stay away from Marlon?" she intimidated me while squinting.
I suppressed my anger and said coldly, "And I haven't done exactly what you asked?"
Alicia slapped me violently again. Her fingernails ruthlessly slit my other cheek. I knew I must be bleeding, but I was in their hands. I couldn't hit Alicia back. All I could do was endure the humiliation. Alicia's shrill voice came again, "Is that right? Then, where were you last night?"
My heart sank. Alicia had followed me and knew I had spent the night at Marlon's last night. So, she probably knew more of the story.
On the bright side, that explained why she called Marlon at the right time early in the morning. Perhaps she also faked the bleeding in her private parts.
"That's why you called Marlon this morning telling him you had an accident?" I asked.
She smiled and didn't deny it, "Yes, I told Marlon I fell and bled. Then Marlon rushed over talking to me on the phone the whole way!"
"I know!" I had been with Marlon then, so of course I knew.
"You didn't get to see how thrilled Marlon was when he found out I was pregnant. Rachael, this is the difference between you and me. He loves me and can never love you!" Alicia said slowly with a triumphant grin.
I put on a wry smile. I saw how happy Marlon was at the news of Alicia's pregnancy. How could I not understand the gap between her and me!
However, from what she said, I was sure she did not know I was pregnant, too. Furthermore, the baby was also Marlon's. Therefore, I must keep it a secret from her. Otherwise, I was afraid the night would be longer.
"You seem to be in a good mood smiling and whatnot. Well, Rachael, you should try to smile longer now, because after tonight, your life will be dull, and you might find yourself unable to do that again. I will make sure of it!" Alicia said word by word.
I stopped smiling under the impression that she was determined to set me up this time. What was worse, she was likely to try harder than ever before. I restrained myself and said calmly, "Alicia, nothing happened between Marlon and me that night. He was just drunk. And I don't think you have to get rid of me now, because you're pregnant with Marlon's child, so there's nothing for you to fear anymore. Am I right?"
Alicia grabbed my face and said with a ferocious look, "I said Marlon was mine. You are not even worthy of being near him!"
I glanced at Kaleb. "Alicia, are you being jealous? If that's the case, what about your boyfriend Kaleb?" Since I couldn't convince her I wouldn't fight her for Marlon, I must try to sabotage her relationship with Kaleb. I would enjoy watching Kaleb standing up for her over and over again like a fool. Kaleb was probably in love with Alicia. No man could bear the fact that his beloved was pregnant with someone else's child and got jealous for him.
However, Alicia chuckled and hugged Kaleb, saying charmingly, "Kaleb, this bitch is attempting to alienate me from you. What do you think we should do?"
Kaleb gave Alicia a big kiss. "Alicia, of course I know how hard you have tried to make this work. So, why would I question your love for this slut?" As he spoke, he grabbed my hair and ruthlessly smashed my head onto a trunk. With a bang, I felt an intense pain on my forehead. Then, a warm liquid flowed down from there. I knew it was blood!
"You slut, this is what you get for trying to ruin my relationship with Alicia!" As he spoke, he once again hit my head onto the thick tree trunk. My eyes were covered with red blood, and my vision went blurry. Then I heard Alicia's mirthful giggle.
"Bitch, enjoy yourself!" Alicia said slowly and kissed Kaleb before leaving.
My head was spinning, but I knew I couldn't let Alicia leave. If she did, I would be finished tonight.
"Alicia, have you ever thought about the consequences of your actions? Don't forget. I'm Kieran's girlfriend, and I'm going to be his fiancé soon!" I said calmly clenching my fists. This was my last chance. Alicia was slightly surprised. Then she squatted in front of me and smiled evenly, "Rachael, how long do you think Mr. Charles will be interested in you when you are so plain? Besides, after tonight, you won't even have this ugly face anymore. You will become a total hideous monster!"
"You, what do you mean!" My heart went cold.
Alicia stroked my face and ran down her fingers inch by inch. "What do you think? Well, I'm tired of this face of yours, so I am helping you draw something on it!" As she spoke, Kaleb took out a Swiss army saber. The sharp blade looked exceptionally frightening in the night.
"Rachael, you are in for a treat. Don't thank me!" Alicia stood up and kissed Kaleb again before leaving.
I was despondent. Kaleb walked over to me with the knife in his hand. "You little bitch, why are you always in the way of my Alicia? This time, I will make sure you dread to leave your house!" As he spoke, the cold blade crawled across my face like a venomous snake.
"Mr. Evans, wait a moment!" Just as Kaleb was about to cut me, the bald man behind him spoke.
"What's wrong?" Kaleb was displeased.
The bald man looked at me and clicked his tongue, looking creepy. "This slut ran away last time. We are going to ruin her face anyway, so I suggest we take advantage of her first!"
"That's right, Mr. Evans. Since she has been trying to tear you and Miss Alicia apart, we can't let her off easily. We should torture her cruelly so that she will be in agony for the rest of her life. Mr. Evans, what do you think?" The four men echoed and leered at me. It looked like they wished they could tear me to shreds right now.
"Fine!" Kaleb smiled, "I will video you. Have fun!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
