Alvin instinctively wanted to refute her, but on second thought, he kept quiet and allowed her to continue.

“My family went bankrupt last week. My dad was accused of tax evasion and industrial fraud. And my elder brother who was a top ranking army official was framed for treason and leaking top classified national secrets to the enemy. And he was killed according to martial law, ignoring his years of contributions to society. When they sent us his corpse, mom had a heart attack at the spot, and I rushed her to the hospital, but she couldn't make it. I lost my brother, my only sibling, just a few hours before mom followed him. But that was still bearable. At least, I had someone to hold me up, or so I thought. Until I walked in on my boyfriend and my best friend having an affair.”

The moment she mentioned having an affair, Alvin's heart sped up as memories of his own time at Sonya's family assaulted his mind.

The girl sniffed and continued, crying as she recounted her tearful story. Alvin was bored senseless, barely able to feign concentration. But the more he listened to her, the angrier he became. The idiot before him was just another love brain, who allowed the enemies get to her using the spies they planted by her side; her boyfriend and best friend, to destroy every last member of her family.

“Every member of my family is now dead, buried all by myself! The companies, the legacies, the wealth that has been in the family for generations are all gone without a trace. I single handedly ruined my family, I let the tiger in, letting him cooperate with the enemies waiting outside to eat up everything. A great sinner like me, why must I be the one alive? Do I deserve to live after all the calamities I caused?”

“The blood of my family is in my hands and the lives of millions of KS group workers whom I have let down, letting them lose their source of livelihood are all on my hands weighing me down. Do you think I want to live? Perhaps, if I die, I can kneel before my family and beg for forgiveness over there. Or at least, go to hell and suffer torments to pay for my sins. I'm sorry for dragging you to this, but death is the only way forward. I have no reason to live anymore, nor do I want to. I have lost all motivation. Penniless and in debt, sick and alone, with everyone I cherished all gone. What the fuck should I keep living for?”

She was crying as she repeatedly slapped herself, as if doing that would ease the guilt she felt.

“So what do you want to do? Kill yourself after I went through all that to save you, shedding blood, sweat and tears. Leah, are you going to jump again? Are you going to fucking attempt suicide again?” Alvin roared, clutching her collars. The girl didn't say anything but it was obvious her mind was already made up to end everything with herself.

Alvin's heart sank and his hands itched to slap her to reset her brain. A real heavy slap, not the tickles she had been giving herself.

“A life for a life is that it? Since you made a mistake, you should die and relieve yourself from the guilt, is that it? As expected of a woman, how selfish and fickle you are! Have you thought about your parents? Will they want you to die and totally end the family line?”

Her tears didn't sway him, and he continued to scold her, his voice harsh and filled with criticisms.

“You didn't want to listen when they were alive, now they're dead you want to shirk all the responsibilities and take the coward's way out. Instead of you to dust yourself, pick yourself up, and plan a way to pay them back in their own coins, you're here exhibiting your legendary stupidity. Are you the one that should die or is it their vile gang? How much more will you disappoint your parents?” Alvin growled, and grabbed a hold of her hands, ignoring the tears which kept streaming down.

She looked shattered, humiliated and disappointed. But there was only a sentence in Alvin's mind.

‘She's immature, weak willed and a little foolish girl controlled by her emotions—a real piece of work.’ He had already sacrificed lots of things to get her back. If she insists on dying, won't all his sacrifices so far be a waste?

“You truly deserve to die. I didn't see it before, but now, I totally agree.” Alvin suddenly said and stood up as if to leave.

The startled girl stopped crying for a moment and looked up at him. Attention seekers were all like this, being dramatic because they needed someone to beg and hold them back. As long as Alvin continues to pamper her, she will continue going overboard. She suddenly sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly.

“Of course. Someone that got her entire family killed does not deserve to live.”

“You don't deserve to live, not because of the tragedy, but because you're too stupid. You knew your stupidity led to all this mess, yet you're about to do something even more unforgivable.”

“What do you think your brother wants the most? It's to get revenge against those bastards. And what are you trying to do? You want to take the easy coward’s way out so that the enemies can continue living in peace, enjoying their lives, and scheming more atrocities. You want to die and allow them to enjoy the things they stole from your family. You're not worthy of your parents, you're a useless daughter, you're even worse than those bastards.”

Latest Chapter

  • CHAOS LEFT BEHIND

    Shi Tong made his way to Shi Yue's moonlight pavilion. His father, Shi Ming Hao, the mysterious man in black cloak, and his two aides, trailed behind him. All around, everyone who saw them moved away, except for the strange soldiers who helped subdue the main branch’s supporters. Shi Tong’s face was flaming red and he blamed Shi Yue and her father Shi Kong for it. Although people quickly moved away without a word, there was no enthusiasm nor respect as they did with Shi Yue. Not even obsession or lust. And he imagined he saw a flicker of something judgemental in their eyes, making him even more upset. But knowing that he would get a chance to vent on Shi Yue after the great Lord was done with her comforted him a bit and he hastened his steps. She would pay for making him feel like a loser even after obtaining the heir's position. He got to the door and the disciples who were guarding it trembled in fear. It was not him that they were afraid of, it was the existence behind. Th

  • EATING FROM THE DEVIL'S PLATE

    TIAN LUO SECT Shi Ming Hao and his son Shi Tong were kneeling before a man dressed in black. A black cloak covered his face and he was sitting in the sect leader's position. Two men equally dressed in black and covering their faces with black masks were standing behind him. “Ming Hao, you're wasting my time. It's nearly morning. The only reason I agreed to help you was because I needed the communion cup in that old fart's treasury. Why isn't the goblet here yet?” Ming Hao was sweating bullets, same with his son. They knew exactly how dangerous the one before them was. Killing them would be as easy as sneezing for him. Offending him was a mistake that couldn't be condoned. “My Lord, have patience. The formation masters are cracking the formation required to get it.” Ming Hao quickly said, his head bowed low as thick droplets of wear rolled down his forehead. “Isn't there someone else who knows how to get into the treasury? How about his daughter?” Ming Hao looked at Shi Tong,

  • WHEN THINGS GO WRONG

    At that point, he heard a rustling and the sound of hurried footsteps as the system counted twenty seconds to go. “Young master!” Shi Yue shouted loudly, jumping into the formation just when Alvin was about to convince Shi Wei that Shi Yue was safe with Jian Li Chen. She was sweating and panting, a look of profound relief on her face “You stupid girl, what took you so long? The formation is a few seconds away from launching. I thought you decided to elope with your fiancé.” Alvin snapped and attached the leather bind to her hand that was still healthy. He repeated the process for Shi Wei and sighed in relief. “That was so close.” He whispered, sighing in relief as he sat in the middle of the formation, the other four behind him. “Sorry, I came late, I took a long detour to avoid being followed.” Shi Yue muttered, looking at the leather band on her right wrist. The bind on each of their wrists was to make sure they could feel each other and were attached to Alvin in case of

  • DEPARTURE & THE CHAOS BEHIND

    Alvin was already getting anxious. Three minutes to the activation, but Shi Yue had not returned. He had already affixed the spiritual energy sources to the points required, and the spatial waves were getting stronger and stronger with each second that passed. “Damn it! I shouldn't have let her go. Even if she had no feelings for him, they were still people who came so close to marrying each other in the past. How could there not be lingering feelings and thoughts? They would definitely have a lot to tell each other and lose track of time.” Alvin muttered, his eyes filled with anger at Shi Yue's blunder. “How could she be so stupid? I can't leave this place to go find her. I'm the core of the formation, everything will scatter if I leave this sphere. What should I do?” He muttered, looking at the three people who were half conscious, having difficulty breathing. He needed to leave immediately to place them on life support. Yet a certain girl was wasting time and cutting their l

  • LET'S GO HOME

    Jian Li Chen had many questions to ask her, things he never understood. Why did she hate him so much back then? Could he have offended her without knowing it? Will she accept him now? Would there still be a chance for them to get married? Why does she still refuse to take his hand, even in the current state of things? Did he look that unreliable? But in the end, it all formed a huge lump in his throat, choking him to death. “I don't dare to ask for a chance, or tell you how I truly feel about you. For me, agreeing to the marriage arrangement back then was not a political move. I really liked you.” He muttered under his breath, but Shi Yue heard it anyway and smiled, her heart feeling unexpectedly warm. And she felt remorseful for the times she had mocked him during international tournaments, called him a weak peacock and topped it off with the ultimate humiliation at their engagement party. She went down on one knee and bowed before him. “I owe you an apology. For ruining you

  • SSS

    Shi Yue stopped a few meters away from the clearing where the Jian clan soldiers were sitting, eating dried nuts, meats, bread and roasted corn for dinner, while discussing in groups on how to prevent the prince from going on a suicide mission. Jian Li Chen himself was at the other end deep in thoughts, away from the rest. There was a military map before him, and an empty animal skin in his hands, and a little red colored chalk was in his hands and he was recreating some routes on the empty animal skin. He suddenly sighed as if he met a challenge and shook his head, his brows furrowed in deep thoughts as he stared blankly at the map. Shi Yue picked a pebble and aimed it at his shoulders, taking a strategic position where he would see her if he turned. The moment the stone came close, he bent to the side like a pro, preventing the stone from connecting to his head. He caught the stone and turned to the direction the stone came from, his guard up, eyes narrowed in suspicion. He d
