Chapter 38 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Niamh shivered, and the tumor in her stomach was still aching.

However, when she thought about Jackson’s safety, she still gritted her teeth and took a step forward.

She followed the gravel road and walked for about 100 meters before she saw a house in front.

When she was about to arrive, she slipped and fell.

Her palms were slashed open by the gravel. She flicked away the gravel and stood up with a clenched fist.

Those wounds were nothing compared to the pain of her tumor. Plus, all of these were nothing compared to Kendrick’s sharp and piercing gaze in addition to his cold-blooded warnings.

Niamh dragged her tired and drenched body until she finally reached the house.

She tried to open the door but she found that it was locked.

When she was about to knock, the wooden door was opened. The face that appeared behind the door shocked her.

It was Tanner!

When he saw Niamh, he pulled her inside.

Niamh was pulled inside the house without a warning. Before she could stand still, she heard Tanner’s disgusting voice.

“Niamh, I miss you so much!” he said as he was about to hug Niamh.

Niamh endured the pain in her body and used all of her might to push Tanner away.

“Where’s Jackson?” she asked as she looked all around her.

Tanner shrugged nonchalantly and smiled. “Why are you in such a hurry to see that kid, baby? We haven’t seen each other in so long and we’re finally together again. Let’s have some fun first,” he said before pouncing on Niamh.

Niamh was already exhausted on the journey here. She did not have the energy to push Tanner away. Eventually, she was pushed down on the wooden table.

Tanner used his legs to press Niamh down. Then, he ripped open her clothes with his hands.

“Let me go! Tanner, you animal! Let me go!”

Slap! Tanner slapped Niamh across the face. “Why are you yelling, Niamh? This is not our first time anyway. Why are you pretending to be pure and naive? You’ll do it with anyone as long as they pay you.”

After he slapped her, Niamh turned her face away and there was blood on the corner of her lips. However, she still continued to struggle. “Nonsense! I didn’t do anything with you. Why are you framing me?”

“Framing you? You’re the one framing your sister, Nevaeh!”

When Tanner said that, Niamh was stunned.

“Niamh, I didn’t expect you to still be this evil after getting locked up for three years. You contacted me the moment you got released and told me to work with you to kidnap Nevaeh’s son to get some money from her. Now, you’re saying that Nevaeh is the one who framed you! You’re so bad! Today, Daddy will see clearly just how evil your heart is!”

After Tanner said that, Niamh’s shirt was ripped open.

Niamh was in so much pain that she did not have the energy to struggle. When she thought Tanner was about to get away with this, the door was kicked open with a loud thud.

The door tilted to one side before falling on the floor.

Niamh turned her head and saw Kendrick’s handsome yet terrifying face that looked similar to that of Satan’s.

When her eyes met his sinister and treacherous gaze, she shivered.

Kendrick strode over and pulled Tanner, who was pressing on top of Niamh, away.

“How dare you kidnap my son? Are you tired of living?”

He punched Tanner heavily on the side of his face, making Tanner wail in pain. One of his teeth fell out and blood started pouring from his mouth. Kendrick kicked Tanner to the corner of the wall, and in that instant, Tanner could not get up from the pain.

Niamh fell on the floor limply. She tried to cover her naked body with her tattered clothes.

Kendrick glanced at her in disgust. “Niamh, you’re even more depraved than before.”

He looked at her in repulsion before walking to the room inside the house.

After a while, he carried the sleeping Jackson out from the room.

When Niamh saw that Jackson was unharmed, she let out a sigh of relief. However, Kendrick still looked at her with a murderous gaze. She immediately felt uneasy again.

She looked at him pleadingly to try to gain his trust. “Kendrick, this has nothing to do with me…”

The man chuckled coldly, his voice sounding sinister. “Niamh, do you think I’m blind or deaf? You deserve to die.”

After he said that, he turned around with Jackson.

Niamh got up from the floor while her entire body felt cold. Then, she ran to the side of the car.

The rain fell on her battered and bruised body. The searing pain started to spread to every inch of her body.

“Kendrick, this is Nevaeh and Tanner’s trap! They knew each other from a long time ago! They’ve even dated before. Nevaeh had two abortions because of Tanner! Kendrick, I’m telling you the truth! I never did anything immoral! They’re working together to frame me!”

Her hands were on the half-opened window as she kept emphasizing. Her pale face made her eyes look even redder.

She so desperately wanted to gain his trust, even just a little bit. A little bit would be fine.

However, Kendrick did not even look at her. He only peered at her from the corner of his eyes.

“What did Nevaeh do to get a sister like you?”

His words were laced with trust and protection for Nevaeh. In addition to that, he only had utter despise for Niamh.

“If it isn’t for Nevaeh, can you even live until this day? Someone like you should have died a long time ago.”

His words pierced her heart.

Her hands that were holding the window slowly lost their energy.

“Kendrick, am I so untrustworthy in your heart? If that’s the case, why did you make that promise to me that back then?” she yelled at him while on the brink of an emotional breakdown.

Kendrick frowned and turned his face in confusion. He scoffed as he looked at Niamh’s pale face.

“Go to the doctor if you’re sick. There’s no back then between you and me. I only made a promise to one girl in my life, and her name is Nevaeh Delgado.”

After he said that, he rolled up the window.

His handsome side profile gradually became blurry in Niamh’s vision.

She collapsed onto the mud as if she had become corrupted. She allowed the wind and rain to have their ways with her.

The wounds on her flesh were not as heart-wrenching and bone-chilling as the words he said before he left.

The beautiful encounter that she had in her memory and the promise that he told her when he held her hand as they walked along the beach all dimmed and decayed at this exact moment.

‘Really?

‘So you only made a promise to Nevaeh in this lifetime?

‘So what you said back then were all just meaningless words? And I was just a scenery that you passed by in your life that’s not worth remembering.’

Hehe.

Niamh closed her eyes. She could not tell whether it was tears or rain that drenched her eyes.
