Love Together, Be With You Never

"Looks like they don't respect me!" Kieran's eyes became redder as he said in a cold voice. All the people froze. I also began to tremble because of his coldness.

The guests all curled up in the corners, not daring to breathe loudly.

Shania also stood in the corner and remained silent. As for Marvin, he seemed to regret what he had said. He was so frightened that he gave me a pleading look. But I pretended not to see it. Marvin, I would get to you later!

Kieran's face went dark with fury. He crooked his fingers. Then his bodyguards got the order, went out and brought the two security guards in. Chris and Saul were kneeling between the four bodyguards. They both freaked out, sweaty and pale.

The other security guards, guests, and the media outside, were all called in. They felt it strange and discussed with each other. But when they saw the cold-faced Kieran, they all fell silent.

A bodyguard pulled up a chair made of scented rosewood and put it behind Kieran. Kieran sat down, and I stood beside him. Kieran looked down at Chris and Saul on the ground as he said slowly, "Did you hurt Rachael?"

Chris and Saul looked at me in shock and fear. They did not know why I could stand beside Kieran. However, it was normal for them to look like that. Everyone was startled.

Chris and Saul were just unlucky to meet me today.

My eyes glinted with joy, but tears kept flowing down my cheeks. "Chris, Saul, you threw me to the ground and kicked me out. Don't you remember it?"

"Ms. Cornell, I'm so sorry. Please spare me. We didn't know you're Mr. Charles' girlfriend. We're so stupid. Please spare us!" Although Chris and Saul couldn't believe it, they could only face it. They kowtowed in horror and begged for mercy.

My eyes flashed. They did that because they didn't know I was Kieran's girlfriend. In other words, if it weren't for Kieran, they thought they had every right to humiliate me.

I wiped away my tears and narrowed my eyes. "You mean that I deserved it if I'm not Kieran's girlfriend?"

Chris and Saul were stunned. Seeing that my face darkened, they looked at me in horror.

"Kieran, look at what they've done to me!" I hugged Kieran's arm and pouted. Tears streamed down my cheeks.

All the guests, security guards, and receptionists were dumbfounded. Various thoughts crossed their minds. They couldn't believe that I acted all pouty to Kieran in public!

"Punish them!" Kieran said in a freezing tone, "If anyone harmed you, I'll get back at him. They hurt your leg, and I'll chop them up into little bits. What do you think?" Kieran looked at me.

I was hesitating. I had never really punished anyone. I only slapped some people. Kieran's punishment was very severe. They might get crippled or even died!

"Alright!" I smiled and nodded firmly.

I used to be weak and kind. But I was not that woman anymore. I would take revenge on anyone who had bullied me!

After I agreed, Kieran's bodyguards immediately hung Saul and Chris up. They took out two long whips with barbs and dipped them into chili oil. Then, they began to flog Chris and Saul. Whipping was a severe punishment in ancient times, and now it could only be seen in TV dramas.

But Chris and Saul were actually hung up and flogged by whips with barbs. After they got lashed for three times, their clothes were torn apart. There were bloodstains on their faces and chests. They looked very burly. But now they could only scream and cry in the air.

They sounded so miserable that everyone here was scared. They trembled in fear and worried that they would be the next. They had regretted coming to this shitty anniversary. If they hadn't come, such awful things would never have happened to them. They were all in danger. It was impossible for them to escape now. Thinking about it, all the guests stared at Marvin and Shania with resentment. They wished they could tear the couple apart.

Marvin had noticed it. But he was in a lot of troubles right now. He did not care about others.

I watched Chris and Saul getting whipped. Soon, they were drenched in blood. Their blood dripped down and made a pool. I was a little scared, and my mind was blank. I suddenly wondered if I was right. Then I felt that someone was looking at me, so I looked back and met Kieran's eyes. I froze under his gaze. I finally knew why there was such a big gap between us. It was because there was no humanity in his eyes. But I was still a little soft-hearted. Because of the restriction, I couldn't grow stronger. In this world, if you were too weak, you could never protect the people and things that you cared about. So, you couldn't forgive people that easily.

I could forgive them when I became strong enough.

But not now!

I smiled at Kieran. Sometimes, I had to thank this man, who was more terrifying than devils. Although he was cruel and bloodthirsty, he taught me to grow stronger little by little. He made me get rid of my damn cowardice.

Kieran looked away. He frowned and looked a little unhappy. His bodyguards noticed it and gagged Chris and Saul before continuing to whip them.

I didn't have any problems now. I would have stopped them or turned around in the past. But today, I stood still and forced myself to watch Chris and Saul suffering. Blood dripped down from their bodies and wet the luxurious carpet.

Now, I could see my mother, Davidson and myself in them. Not long ago, we were tortured from our bodies to our minds. We were killed slowly.

The murderers were Marvin, Shania and Alicia. These robbers took all of my grandfather's possessions!

One day, I would get back at them!

My child would live well and got everything he deserved.
