However, it was as if the man was possessed. He ripped her clothes garment by garment before devouring her viciously.
Niamh fell asleep groggily. She had a dream that she had gone back to the happiest time of her life.
However, when she woke up, the reality was like a nightmare that suffocated her.
She saw that she was still being trapped and the man was lying beside her. Niamh looked at the moon outside the window with a blank look on her face.
‘The only thing I did was fall in love with you, but why do I have to pay such a heavy price?
‘Why are you torturing me even if you don’t love me anymore?
‘Kendrick, what do you want me to do?’
Niamh did not know how she fell asleep. However, when she woke up, Kendrick was not there anymore. His residual warmth had also dissipated.
She lifted her battered and bruised body before going into the bathroom to take a shower. However, no matter how she washed, she could not get rid of the smell and warmth he had left on her body.
She put on some clothes hastily and went out the door with a pale look on her face. She wandered around the streets aimlessly as if she had been possessed.
She did not know what she was doing. She just wanted to get rid of the memories of him toying with her last night.
However, she could not get rid of those memories no matter what. Then, she decided to go home.
When she was about to open the door, she realized that her door had been pried open.
Niamh thought she had been burgled. However, when she pushed open the door, she saw Nevaeh sitting on the sofa like a high and mighty princess. There were also two burly men next to her.
The house that Niamh had cleaned and tidied was now in a mess. It was obvious that they were looking for something.
“Why are you here?”
“Why am I here? You should know.” Nevaeh snorted. “If you don’t want to suffer, give it to me.”
Niamh knew what Nevaeh was talking about. She had already found out about the earring!
‘Kendrick, you covered this up so nicely.’
Niamh chuckled lowly. “You’re too late. I’ve already handed it to the police.”
“What did you say?” Nevaeh’s expression changed.
The two bodyguards went up to grab Niamh’s arms. Then, Nevaeh approached her and slapped her in the face. “Niamh, I think you’re done with life! Take her away!”
Nevaeh commanded and the two bodyguards lifted Niamh.
“Let me go! Nevaeh, you evil witch!” After Niamh yelled at her, she felt a sharp pain at the back of her neck before she lost consciousness.
Niamh was woken up by a pail of cold water thrown over her head. The coldness invaded her entire body, starting from the top of her head.
She did not know where she was. When she opened her eyes, she saw Nevaeh towering over her while looking down on her disdainfully.
“You’re awake? I thought you were dead. It’d be so boring if you were.”
Nevaeh scoffed and squatted. She then grabbed Niamh’s face.
Looking at the disfigured yet pretty face, Nevaeh was so jealous that malice started filling her eyes.
“Niamh, I underestimated you. Even at a time like this, you could still seduce men!” She grabbed Niamh’s wound that had just started to heal. “How did you seduce Kendrick? With your pitiful eyes?”
Niamh finally understood what was happening after she heard what Nevaeh said.
Nevaeh knew about him spending the night with her. Plus, Nevaeh even successfully imagined the scene of them entangled in bed.
She scoffed and burst out laughing. She was laughing sarcastically and at the same time, she was laughing while feeling pleased. “Are you mad? Looks like Kendrick doesn’t love you that much, huh? If he does, then why did he sleep with another woman?”
“You…”
Nevaeh was infuriated. She grabbed Niamh’s wounded face even tighter. When she saw the wound bursting open again with blood pouring out, she let out a perverted and carefree cackle.
Niamh was in so much pain that her face turned ghastly pale. However, she did not make a sound.
Nevaeh wanted to see Niamh in pain, but she refused to make a sound nor cry.
This made Nevaeh agitated. She lifted her leg and kicked Niamh on the stomach. Finally, she heard a low groan.
Nevaeh started kicking the defenseless Niamh repeatedly as if she had gone insane.
“Scream, damn it! Niamh, you b*tch! You even have the nerve to seduce Kendrick and refuse to divorce him!”
“Haha… I’ll never divorce him! Nevaeh, you’ll always be a mistress!” Niamh looked at Nevaeh with an obstinate gaze without showing her weakness.
Nevaeh’s face was as black as a piece of coal now. When she looked at Niamh’s crystal clear and beautiful eyes, she yanked her hair once again.
“Niamh, why are you so pleased with yourself? I’ll see how long you can endure this. You’ll only have three months max, you lowlife!” she yelled angrily and released all of her anger onto Niamh.
“You b*tch! How are you so good at seducing men? Do you do it with these eyes? Do you think men will still fall for you if you go blind?”
After Nevaeh said that, Niamh sensed that something bad was about to happen. When she was about to get up, she was instantly held down by the two men in black behind her.
“Nevaeh, tell them to let me go! What are you trying to do to me now? Tell Kendrick to see me if you have the guts!”
“Why would Kendrick want to see you?” Nevaeh asked while feeling amused. “Oh, my precious little sister. You should know that I wouldn’t be doing this without Kendrick’s permission.”
She was cackling happily. Then, she lifted a shiny and sharp knife. “The lavender in Provence is so beautiful. Kendrick said he’ll take me there and propose to me. He even said that he’ll give me the most memorable wedding ever. Too bad you won’t be able to see it.”
Niamh clenched her fists. There were reluctance and hatred in her face that was already full of despair. “Nevaeh, karma will get you!”
“My karma is spending the rest of my life with Kendrick. Just the two of us, forever. On the other hand, you’ll be going to hell soon.”
She laughed wretchedly and took out a photo.
“Since you’re about to die, I’ll let you take a look. This is the little thing that Kendrick killed right after she was born.”
What?
Niamh lifted her head and saw Nevaeh throwing the photo at her with an evil grin.
Her child’s photo?
Niamh’s heart beat faster. She watched as the photo fell in front of her. However, when she was about to go get the photo, someone grabbed her arm. The man then stabbed a syringe filled with tranquilizer into her arm. Her vision blurred instantly, and she could hear Nevaeh’s eerie cackles in her ears.
“Niamh, open your eyes. This is the last chance for you to get a close look at your daughter! Haha…”
Due to the effects of the tranquilizer, Niamh did not know long she was unconscious for.
When she finally regained consciousness, she felt numbness in her arm. Then, she felt a stinging pain in her eyes.
She opened her eyes slowly and noticed that her vision was blurry. It was even near to complete darkness.
Was it nighttime?
When she remembered what Nevaeh said before knocking her unconscious, Niamh sat up quickly and ignored her wounds. Niamh felt about the floor frantically in the darkness.
Photo…
Her child’s photo!
Niamh started searching in the dark. However, she did not see anything nor feel anything.
She took out her phone from her pocket and pressed the screen hurriedly. However, the screen would not light up. Did it run out of battery?
As she contemplated that, she felt something that felt like a card with her fingertips. She was sure that it was the photo Nevaeh had thrown at her before she passed out.
Niamh picked it up happily. She put it in front of her eyes but saw nothing.
She supported her shaky body as she stood up. She wanted to find a source of light, but everything in front of her was dark and blurry. Plus, her eyes were also hurting.
She found the exit using the help of the wall. She could vaguely see some light from the corner of her eyes.
Niamh tried to open her eyes to look at the photo in her hand, but she felt a debilitating pain all of a sudden.
She recalled Nevaeh’s sinister voice and soon felt her body going cold. She lifted her trembling hand in disbelief and touched her eyes.
She lifted her hand in front of her eyes but could only see a blurry silhouette. The clarity she used to have was completely gone.
She was blind!
Niamh was in disbelief. She stumbled out and ran into a group of people.
They saw the dried blood and dazed look on Niamh’s face. They immediately sent Niamh to the hospital out of kindness.
After looking at her, the doctor looked at the report with a frown on his face. “Miss Delgado, you’ve lost your left cornea and your right cornea is badly wounded. You’re on the verge of complete blindness. If you want to regain your eyesight, you’ll need a cornea transplant and a pair of complete corneas to do that.”
The doctor’s answer was like a bolt of lightning striking down on Niamh’s body. She stood her ground in a dazed state. She finally found her breathing as her heart resumed beating after a long while.
