Chapter 55
Chapter 55 Evil
Lance's evil smile gave me goosebumps. He suddenly put his hands around my neck and started to choke me. He closed his hands around my neck tighter and tighter, 1 started to have problem breathing.
"Hm? Do you want to be with him, Jennie Gomez? Just tell me, I might approve?" at this point, I'm convinced Lance Mason is the devil lord from hell.
I didn't want to do, so I kept trying to pull his hands away. My tears rolled out, while I struggled to tell him what I told Leo.
Just when I was about to die of suffocation, Lance let go of me. I coughed like there's no tomorrow on my bed. Tears were falling out non-stop.
"No, you always reminded me to be aware of my own place, so I never even thought of trying to get with him to get anything. I told him, that we are impossible......"
I could hear my heart breaking into pieces when I said this.
This heart of mine, has been broken and hurt many times. I stared at Lance, why is he always treating me like this? I'm human, I have feelings, I have a heart, I can feel pain too, my heart can bleed too...... Lance glared at me, his eyes filled with evil. "How do I trust you? What if you are platting something behind my back? Leo Mason is my only brother, and you know I love him the most, I don't you, a slut, a whore, to ruin his life! Jennie Gomez, tell me, what makes you trustworthy?"
Lance suddenly grabbed my hair and pulled my head towards his face. We stared at each other's eyes.
I sniffed my nose and said: "I had an abortion, I'm your lover in bed, I'm a dirty woman....." my voice was extremely weak.
"I love him. Yet when I was still clean, I already don't deserve him. Do you think 1 deserve him now that I'm so dirty? Lane, you have no reason to not believe me, Leo is someone you love the most, and he's also the man I love the most, and my only love." God
knows how much I love Leo Mason!
I sobbed harder and harder. I think, I wouldn't be able to love anyone anymore after this. I gave all my love to him, I will never love ever again.
Lance let go of my hair. I fell to my bed like a ragged doll.
He walked out and stood by my door. "Love him? You don't even deserve to love him." He said coldly.
He then walked out and closed the door shut. I cried even harder. Yeah, Jennie, you don't even deserve to love Leo.
During the middle of the night, I got high fever. I remembered the huge stuff Leo carried into my room, it was a heater. I switched it on and the room got warmer.
The next morning, mom woke me up to go help out with some chores. I was still in fever and felt very cold, so I wrapped myself in many layers of clothing like an old lady.
When I exited my room, I came face to face with Leo, who didn't look good.
With my hoarse voice, I greeted him good morning.
He nodded at me and didn't say anything. Lance got out of his room too. He must have saw my outfit and have me a judgmental look.
Lance went out to fetch his fiancé over for dinner after lunch.
I started the chores in the kitchen, an older servant came and asked me if I was sick, because my eyes were red. I said no and told her don't worry about it. Then she told me to help wash Leo and Lance's clothes. I sighed and nodded.
I used to help them do their laundry, but I never did Lance's.
I was squatting on the floor, washing the clothes when Leo came in and said: "You don't have to wash my clothes, we are not blood related siblings, you washing my clothes for me might anger your boyfriend."
And with that, he picked up the pail of clothes and stood up. Lance appeared out of nowhere and said: "She's no different than the servants here, why can't she do the laundry?"
"Brother, how many times do you want me to tell you, Jennie is not out servant, she doesn't owe the family anything." Leo said, and then left without another word. Another bucket was filled with Lance's boxers and jacket.
I started to wash it, I used all my strength on it. Lance came over and watched me.
"Boyfriend, why didn't I know about your boyfriend'?"
Iglanced at him with the corner of my eyes. "You know everything, why bother asking?"
I continued washing his boxers, it grossed me out. I washed Leo's boxers before, but Lance's...disgusting.
Lance leaned against the wall and watched me brushing his clothes with all my might: "Are you pretending the clothes are me, why are brushing so hard?"
I ignored him and continued washing, then I put the cleans one in another bucket.
The warm water turned cold in this chilly weather, so I sat and wait for the heater to heat the water up. "Why are you leaving my clothes in the soap water? Are you planning to make my skin allergy?" Lance asked.
"I'm waiting for the water to heat up."
"Use cold water." He said.
I stared at him and he stared back, his eyes were telling me: don't even think about going out if you don't finish washing now.
I took over the pail and put my hands into the cold water. I told myself to bear with it, if he sees your pitiful face, it would only make him even happier.
Lance is a weird person, I noticed no matter how soft or how tough I act, there's no difference.
I sighed and hung out the clothes after washing. I forced myself to give Lance a smile and said: "I'm done, I shall leave then."
Lance glanced at me and left. I went back to my small room and laid on my bed. I groaned out loud due to my sickness, making me feel sick.
