Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 280 Apology Not Accepted (Part Three)

The man paled all of a sudden and his eyes went wide in fear. He immediately shouted to Molly,"Sorry! I'm sorry! I lost money! I took it out on you! Please, forgive me!" The words tumbled out of his mouth rapidly. He didn't want to die, and tears rimmed his eyes. I'm sooo sorry…" he moaned.

Looking at the man who apologized over and over to save his own life, Molly was not happy at all. Instead, she felt even worse. They were torturing this man for her. She turned her head to look at Brian, unable to watch this any longer. Her eyes were full of emotions mixed with anger and sadness, and she was unable to hide them.

He did not understand, at all... What he didn't understand was what life was like on the bottom rung of society. They would do everything they could in order to survive. They threw away their pride just to keep themselves alive. Brian stood high above the masses. In his glance was a look of "I can do whatever I want."

'You're so smart, Bri. But why can't you understand that the last thing I want to see is that someone reduced to this, tortured and beaten, begging for his life?' Molly thought desperately in her heart.

Every word the man said to her was like a cruel hand which tore a piece of her soul away. She felt hurt. So hurt!

Molly's eyes grew even redder with sadness and stinging tears. However, she raised the corners of her mouth and smiled instead. She laughed at herself yet she was unable to hold her sadness back any longer. Finally, tears spilled out of her eyes and rolled down her checks. A bitter taste spread in her mouth immediately.

"Sorry, sorry... I'm sorry…"

The man kept apologizing to her. Every word cut her heart like a knife. Brian merely sat there like a cold emperor. She was standing, but powerless. His stares made her want to crawl into a shell and

hide.

Molly's lips trembled. She sniffed a bit and lowered her head again to type something on her phone. Then she showed the screen to the broken man. "I forgive you!" She knew Tony could see it too.

Molly shot a fierce glare at Brian, tears in her eyes. She then turned around and stomped off without asking him for approval.

No one stopped her. Everyone was paralyzed in shock. Nobody had ever openly defied Brian this way. At least no one in living memory.

She didn't care what they thought of her anymore. She just walked straight ahead, hand grasping her phone tighter and tighter, as if she could crush it in her hand.

"What are you doing? Let go of me… I've already apologized… What's that? No...no! Help! Someone! Help!"

Molly heard the man's sharp screams as she reached the stairs. His loud, fearful shrieks echoed down the hallway.

Molly turned back suddenly, and saw Tony with his arm around the man's neck. He was trying to angle the man's head to force him to ingest some type of drug. The foil the drug was wrapped in glinted evilly in his hand. The man thrashed around, screaming for help. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Molly ran back to them without thinking twice. She caught Tony's wrist, keeping the drug away from the big man, and turned to Brian with an angry look. Brian was still sitting there indifferently like nothing happened. Molly asked him silently what he intended to do.

Brian raised his eyes and there was nothing but coldness on his face, like always. He was poker-faced. But deep in his heart, he felt ambivalent and sad, which even he didn't realize.

"He mocks people who can't speak? Well, I'm going to show him how that feels. How do you like it, Mol?" Brian said in a slow and calm tone. A cold smile spread across his face as the man continued to thrash and pull at Tony's arm, trying to free himself from this nightmare. Brian looked at Molly with a distant expression in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes a bit, which made him look even more dangerous.

Molly looked at Brian, her face pale. She could not control herself and shivered. She was frozen as if she were in an icehouse when she heard him call her "Mol". There was no running from this feeling. He was a demon and the gates of Hell yawned wide.

Brian's heart could not help hurting when he looked at Molly. He stood up and ambled over to her. His long fingers caught Molly's wrist. She could not feel her hand at all, and lost her grip on Tony's wrist.

"Feed him!" Brian let out a brief, heartless order, his eye fixed on Molly. Enslaved by fear, all she could do was submit.

"No, let go of me… Don't you know who my brother is?" That man screamed again. "Let go of me… No… Oh… Mffflwm!" *Koff! Koff!*

Tony grabbed his jaw and forced it open, then popped the drug in the man's mouth. He stared wide- eyed in despair and fear. He coughed a lot, trying to spit out the drug. However, it was in vain. He felt the bitterness in his throat and it began to burn. Fire lived in his throat. His face was distorted in a mask of pain.

Seeing the man in such agony, Molly shook her head. It was like a train wreck. She couldn't bear to look but couldn't look away. She had never seen anything like this and her heart was chilled with fear.

"He bullied you. He has to pay!" Brian's voice seemed to come from hell. He raised his hand and touched her face gently.

Molly went skittish when his fingers touched her face. She immediately recoiled in fear, leaning away from him like he was some venomous serpent. She looked at Brian, quavering, as if she were staring at a demon.

Brian raised one corner of his mouth and gave a cold smile. His next words were spoken as a warning. "You're my woman. I won't allow anyone to mess with you, ever!"
