The Woman From Hell

Chapter 14

He did not say anything and was staring at me silently. I could not help but feel nervous with the

proximity of his angular and handsome face to me. The air inside the room seemed to have thinned

out. I got up to open the windows.

Suddenly, he pulled me into an embrace and wrapped both of his arms around me and held me tightly.

“Theo Grant.” Although I did not know why he behaved this way, I did not like being hugged like that.

Although I struggled in his arms, he still did not let go.

The sharp stench of alcohol rose to my nose. Theo was drunk again.

“Let go of me. I’ll pour a cup of water for you,” I spoke softly.

“Will it become hate?” He asked as he hugged me tightly.

I did not understand what he meant and could only look at him in confusion. His lips were slightly apart, Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

and his dark eyes were quite dilated and out of focus. It seemed like he was heavily drunk.

I did not understand how he managed to find her even in such a state.

“Will it change?” He did not give up when I did not respond to him. He stubbornly continued while

looking me in the eye.

“It will,” I told him as I pulled his arms from around me. I tried to free myself from his embrace, but he

held me tightly in a vice-like grip.

“Will you take it back?” He continued asking me as he grabbed my hand like a child to stop me from

moving.

I suddenly understood what he was asking. I did not know what to say. “I don’t know either,” I told him

in exasperation.

He stopped asking me questions. His breath grew erratic as he hugged me tighter.

I held his face and said softly, “Theo, I’m Wanda Lane. We’re about to get a divorce. You can’t do this

to me.”

My words triggered him. He carried me and threw me onto the bed.

“Theo, I’m Wanda Lane. I’m someone that you hate a lot. Take a closer look.” I was on the verge of a

breakdown. I took his face in my hands again and tried to make him take a closer look at me.

He looked up and widened his blurry eyes. He fixed his gaze at me for a few seconds before letting out

a soft affirmative hum.

I remembered that I have a child in me. We must not continue like this.

I grabbed his hand and looked at him. “You’re drunk. Don’t do this,” I said.

I could not help but feel captivated when I saw his child-like smile on his handsome face. Theo looked

different tonight. He was rather cute.

I pushed him away with all my might and got down from the bed. I put on my clothes and left the place.

If I stayed there any longer, I might not be able to keep my child.

It was still drizzling outside.

I started the car and sped along the road. I have gone through too many things lately. I did not know

how to handle them all. I just wanted to run far away and escape from everything. I was afraid that I

would return to the past if I did not vent out my emotions.

I did not know how long I had been driving. The sun had started to rise. When I finally came to my

senses, I realized that I was deep in the mountain area.

I was surrounded by a vast expanse of mountains and woods, and there was no one else around. The

narrow road was windy and seemed endless. I could not hear anything except for the odd squawks of

birds.

Regrets filled my heart. I should not have driven off recklessly on a whim and put myself in the current

position.

I stepped harder on the accelerator as I wanted to leave these woods as soon as possible.

Suddenly, a Tibetan Mastiff rushed out in front of my car, and I immediately stepped on the brakes. It

seemed that I was too late as I could feel my right car tire run over something.

I was doomed. I took a deep breath and sat in the car without moving. I dared not go down from the car

to take a look.

I sat there motionlessly for a long time until someone knocked on my car window, which brought me to

my senses.

I turned around and saw a tall man standing outside my car window. His expression was grave, and his

face was full of stubble. He looked terrifying.

When he noticed that I was not moving, he pointed at my car tire and gestured for me to get down the

car.
