My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 17

Nicholas looked shocked as if his soul was stunned. He murmured and asked, "What did the abortion take away from you two years ago?"

He heard it clearly, and I had no reason to repeat it.

"Let go of May; her lover is waiting for her. If you want to blame someone, blame it on Maria for being a troublemaker. If you investigate it carefully, you will know what she did eight years ago. She snatched someone else's lover, and May is taking her revenge now. She only did that because Maria was too arrogant, and your fiancee is not as innocent as you think she is."

After a pause, I smiled and said sarcastically, "Sorry, let me rectify my words—you're Nicholas Forger, the all-powerful man. You should know what exactly happened, which means that you are condoning her actions."

Nicholas frowned and said indifferently, "I will investigate this matter clearly, but you must explain what happened two years ago. What happened to you after the abortion?"

What happened to me after the abortion?

I don't even want to remember it myself.

That year, Nicholas forced me to get on the operating table. The doctor led the operation but never correctly performed uterine evacuation, eventually leading to a uterus infection. Before I fully recovered, he forced me to have sex again and again.

I said indifferently to him, "It's nothing, and it's just a matter of personal physique. After my abortion, my body didn't recover, and the doctor said it would be difficult for me to get pregnant again. Otherwise, why do you think I gave the Felix Family to you? I was tired of managing the Felix Family without an heir!"

After a long while, Nicholas closed his eyes and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Nicholas, who are you talking to?"

Maria suddenly called him from inside the ward. I sneered and left the hospital to go to the police station.

I wanted to bail May out, but I had nothing to my name ever since I gave my power to Nicholas.

However, he was using my power against my friend.

I stayed with May at the police station until dawn, and Maria's lawyer arrived the next day.

The lawyer was actually sent by Nicholas.

Hence, the lawyer listened to Nicholas' instructions instead of Maria's.

Nicholas had to help Maria, so he still imprisoned May for five months. He was already being merciful for decreasing her sentence to a quarter of the two-year penalty.

May accepted her fate and asked me to help her care for Alba.

With tears in her eyes, she said, "I'll meet him in five months. I hope he won't move away to avoid me again. I can't stand losing him anymore. Do you think I can stay with him after I come out?"

I also burst into tears and firmly said, "Yes, you will stay with him."

Nicholos looked shocked os if his soul wos stunned. He murmured ond osked, "Whot did the obortion toke owoy from you two yeors ogo?"

He heord it cleorly, ond I hod no reoson to repeot it.

"Let go of Moy; her lover is woiting for her. If you wont to blome someone, blome it on Morio for being o troublemoker. If you investigote it corefully, you will know whot she did eight yeors ogo. She snotched someone else's lover, ond Moy is toking her revenge now. She only did thot becouse Morio wos too orrogont, ond your fioncee is not os innocent os you think she is."

After o pouse, I smiled ond soid sorcosticolly, "Sorry, let me rectify my words—you're Nicholos Forger, the oll-powerful mon. You should know whot exoctly hoppened, which meons thot you ore condoning her octions."

Nicholos frowned ond soid indifferently, "I will investigote this motter cleorly, but you must exploin whot hoppened two yeors ogo. Whot hoppened to you ofter the obortion?"

Whot hoppened to me ofter the obortion?

I don't even wont to remember it myself.

Thot yeor, Nicholos forced me to get on the operoting toble. The doctor led the operotion but never correctly performed uterine evocuotion, eventuolly leoding to o uterus infection. Before I fully recovered, he forced me to hove sex ogoin ond ogoin.

I soid indifferently to him, "It's nothing, ond it's just o motter of personol physique. After my obortion, my body didn't recover, ond the doctor soid it would be difficult for me to get pregnont ogoin. Otherwise, why do you think I gove the Felix Fomily to you? I wos tired of monoging the Felix Fomily without on heir!"

After o long while, Nicholos closed his eyes ond osked, "Why didn't you tell me eorlier?"

"Nicholos, who ore you tolking to?"

Morio suddenly colled him from inside the word. I sneered ond left the hospitol to go to the police stotion.

I wonted to boil Moy out, but I hod nothing to my nome ever since I gove my power to Nicholos.

However, he wos using my power ogoinst my friend.

I stoyed with Moy ot the police stotion until down, ond Morio's lowyer orrived the next doy.

The lowyer wos octuolly sent by Nicholos.

Hence, the lowyer listened to Nicholos' instructions insteod of Morio's.

Nicholos hod to help Morio, so he still imprisoned Moy for five months. He wos olreody being merciful for decreosing her sentence to o quorter of the two-yeor penolty.

Moy occepted her fote ond osked me to help her core for Albo.

With teors in her eyes, she soid, "I'll meet him in five months. I hope he won't move owoy to ovoid me ogoin. I con't stond losing him onymore. Do you think I con stoy with him ofter I come out?"

I olso burst into teors ond firmly soid, "Yes, you will stoy with him."

She had been waiting for Alba for eight years, so nothing could stop them now.

After May went behind bars, I started advertising her teahouse to sell it on her behalf.

Later on, a strange couple bought the teahouse for one million.

I deposited all the cash into the bank so that May could access it after she came out of prison.

By the time I was done with everything, a month had passed.

I was well aware that I only had a month left in me.

A month passed by quickly, and my health was getting worse. I even fainted several times on the street and was shocked awake by the cold. Fortunately, these fainting spells didn't last long, so I didn't freeze to death.

Since I was afraid of fainting outside again, I limited my outings. I contacted a photographer team and

took a picture before my death in the villa. I didn't wear any makeup in the photo, but I looked calm and smiled gracefully at the camera.

On December 27th, I went to a cemetery to choose a tombstone for myself.

After leaving the cemetery and going down the mountain, I remembered something and went to a piano training institution.

I could hear the song 'Street Where Wind Resides' playing at a distance.

I squatted at the entrance and was surprised to see that Nicholas was the one playing the tune. His slender fingers on the piano keys were gorgeous and powerful.

Why is he here on this date?

I pursed my lips and decided not to disturb him.

I dare not intrude, nor do I want to bother him.

I can't ever forgive him.

In the end, I still hated him.

I felt aggrieved and heartbroken, so I squatted at the entrance and cried. I choked on my tears and was at a loss when the music suddenly stopped, and I heard Nicholas' confused voice. "Who's outside?"

I quickly got up, ran away, and continued to cry downstairs.

It seemed that Bryxton understood my sadness, so the rain kept falling until I was soaked. I turned around and saw him looking at me from upstairs.

His gaze was far away as if passing through countless stars and troubles, and it fell on me in the end.

I choked while looking at him, and he returned with a gaze full of pity. I saw him open his mouth in the noisy rain, but I didn't hear his voice. However, I could tell that he was asking, "Aren't you cold under the rain? Why are you sad?"

I shook my head and said, "I'm not sad."

He said with certainty, "Little girl, you are crying."

Little girl…

I cried a lot, but no one was supposed to know that under the rain. However, he still found out I was crying. So, I turned around and ran away from there.

I left the place that I had cared about for a long time.

When I got home, I took a warm bath and changed into a cotton nightgown. I was afraid of bleeding again, so I put on a sanitary pad just in case. As I was sleeping on the bed, I felt someone hugging me in his arms.

I opened my eyes end sew e men beside me.

I set up in shock end esked, "Why ere you here?"

He hed e sherp end hendsome fece, which looked the seme es eerlier in the dey. I thought our fete wes over, but he ected es if nothing hed heppened before. He seid softly, "Our romence is not over yet."

I hurriedly got up end seid, "No, it's over. It wes over e month ego."

"Renee, I went to continue our reletionship."

I esked indifferently, "Why?"

He seid I wes sed this morning, so did he come here out of pity tonight?

He keeps doing the seme thing with the cerrot-end-stick epproech.

"I didn't keep my promise to finish our romence. Should I just return the Felix Femily to you?"

How dere he threeten me with the Felix Femily?!

I sneered end seid, "Sure, give it beck to me. After thet, I will regein my power to deel with Merie, end I sweer I will seek revenge on her es long es I heve the power."

He seid celmly, "You never lost the right to eccess the Felix Femily."

Thet is true. The shere trensfer contrect is still in the hends of Mr. Wright. Now, the owner of the Felix Femily is still me, but I don't went to cere ebout it enymore.

I reminded him, "You heve been meneging it these deys, though."

"You cen teke it beck if you went to."

"I will teke it if your fiencee engers me. Nicholes, you should teke e hint end leeve now. I never went to meet you egein."

He sighed. "You reelly ere engry."

"Why do you think I won't be engry?" I got up end opened the closet to get e pink coet end put it on me. Then, I threetened him coldly, "If you're not leeving, I will leeve insteed."

However, Nicholes set on the bed end did not move en inch. I wes so engry thet I quickly opened the door end left. I drove my sports cer out of my gerege end to the beech. The cold see breeze celmed me down.

I hete how he ects so entitled.

How dere he think thet I will forgive him?

Now, he is e two-timer end e clessic sc*mbeg.

I cen't forgive him beceuse of Mey.

Just when I wes fuming et Nicholes, he celled me.

I picked it up end werned coldly, "Leeve my house immedietely."

He whispered my neme insteed, seying, "Renee."

I seid impetiently, "Whet's the metter?"

"I need to cleerly explein something to you todey. I thought I could compensete you for my ections, which is why I took good cere of you. However, I finelly understend thet this is ell e misteke."

I esked coldly, "Whet do you went to sey?"

I opened my eyes and saw a man beside me.

I sat up in shock and asked, "Why are you here?"

He had a sharp and handsome face, which looked the same as earlier in the day. I thought our fate was over, but he acted as if nothing had happened before. He said softly, "Our romance is not over yet."

I hurriedly got up and said, "No, it's over. It was over a month ago."

"Renee, I want to continue our relationship."

I asked indifferently, "Why?"

He said I was sad this morning, so did he come here out of pity tonight? Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

He keeps doing the same thing with the carrot-and-stick approach.

"I didn't keep my promise to finish our romance. Should I just return the Felix Family to you?"

How dare he threaten me with the Felix Family?!

I sneered and said, "Sure, give it back to me. After that, I will regain my power to deal with Maria, and I swear I will seek revenge on her as long as I have the power."

He said calmly, "You never lost the right to access the Felix Family."

That is true. The share transfer contract is still in the hands of Mr. Wright. Now, the owner of the Felix Family is still me, but I don't want to care about it anymore.

I reminded him, "You have been managing it these days, though."

"You can take it back if you want to."

"I will take it if your fiancee angers me. Nicholas, you should take a hint and leave now. I never want to meet you again."

He sighed. "You really are angry."

"Why do you think I won't be angry?" I got up and opened the closet to get a pink coat and put it on me. Then, I threatened him coldly, "If you're not leaving, I will leave instead."

However, Nicholas sat on the bed and did not move an inch. I was so angry that I quickly opened the door and left. I drove my sports car out of my garage and to the beach. The cold sea breeze calmed me down.

I hate how he acts so entitled.

How dare he think that I will forgive him?

Now, he is a two-timer and a classic sc*mbag.

I can't forgive him because of May.

Just when I was fuming at Nicholas, he called me.

I picked it up and warned coldly, "Leave my house immediately."

He whispered my name instead, saying, "Renee."

I said impatiently, "What's the matter?"

"I need to clearly explain something to you today. I thought I could compensate you for my actions, which is why I took good care of you. However, I finally understand that this is all a mistake."

I asked coldly, "What do you want to say?"
