Chapter 55 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Niamh kept waiting for Kendrick to leave, but he never left.

As the sky darkened, Niamh finally left after seeing Kendrick answer a call.

Niamh was trembling in the wind and her blood seemed to be frozen.

She returned to her residence hurriedly, packed some clothes and daily necessities, and moved away overnight.

She no longer had the courage to face this man who was more terrifying than the devil. She was not afraid of death, but she was really afraid of the cruel methods he has shown time and time again. She never wanted to see him treat the people she loved cruelly in front of her again.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Niamh touched the faint, tingling scar and closed her eyes.

Kendrick, how could loving you brought such a result…

……

As the new year approaches, many companies would hold annual meetings at this time.

Although Felipe had insisted that Niamh be his plus one to attend the annual meeting, Niamh still refused in the end.

After the dinner party, Niamh went to a karaoke bar with some people from the department.

The room was large and everyone had gathered together to drink and play games but they had left Niamh at the side, not one paying any attention to her.

There was continuous laughter, it was such a lively and joyous moment, but Niamh could not feel the joyous atmosphere at all. All she felt was sadness.

She went to the bathroom and unexpectedly saw Kendrick’s when she was coming back. She did not expect him to be here too.

Niamh was so frightened her heart jumped. She turned around in a panic and ran.

Kendrick turned his head around after the phone call and vaguely saw a familiar figure flash past his eyes. He furrowed his eyebrows and followed.

Niamh ran back to the room in a single breath, but her heartbeat still had not calmed down.

Her colleagues were still playing around happily. Some of them were already drunk, lying haphazardly on the sofa. No one noticed Niamh’s existence.

She breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly to the seat. As soon as she sat down, she heard the melody of a love song from the speaker.

It was a song she was familiar with, “Evil in Innocence”.

Listening to the melody and watching the lyrics lighting up on the screen, Niamh’s eyes became wet inadvertently.

The lyrics were essentially a portrayal of her journey along the way.

Kendrick had followed all the way and when he reached the door of a certain room, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the inside.

Although he had never seriously cared about Niamh’s voice, his hippocampus told him that this was Niamh’s voice.

Kendrick looked in through the round window on the door and saw Niamh sitting on the bar chair. Her figure was extremely thin and her short, simple hair could not cover up her haggard face.

In spite of this, the outline of her profile was still beautiful. Under the dim light, he saw tears falling from her eyes, and lyrics were suddenly sung out, “You would know, the cruelest things that have been done to me.”

“It was you, who had turned me into an adult overnight.

“Desperate innocence, instantly turning into scars along the way.

“I miss, my stupidity.

“Oh lover, you know too well how to hurt a person, how to hurt a life…”

Niamh’s voice floated into Kendrick’s ears, quietly and cleanly, but he felt as if his heart had suddenly been stabbed.

What Niamh had said to him then appeared in his mind. She had said that she did not love him anymore, and she had said that she hated him.

Kendrick just stood outside the door, listening to Niamh sing, watching her unstopping tears. His heart seemed to be gradually flooded by an invisible sea and his breathing became difficult.

Niamh sang the song and her mind was filled with all the unspeakable pain that she had suffered over the past few years. She sang till the end. “Although heaven and earth are not benevolent, if not necessary, wake your defense, wait a minute……”

By the time she finished the song, Niamh had already burst into tears.

She picked up her bag and left. No one noticed her presence nor her departure.

Niamh called for a cab and returned to her new residence. Just as she had her keys out to open the door, the voice-activated light in the corridor suddenly came on and a nightmarish sound rang in her ears.

“Niamh, who allowed you to escape from my sight?”

Niamh’s hand shook violently and the key in her hand dropped on her feet with a clang.

The wounds in and out of her body seemed to have suddenly “woken up” at this moment and the insurmountable skin cutting pain once again invaded her entire body. It hurt so much that she was losing grip on her mind and only the image of him smashing the urn with the ashes of their child by how own hands the other day was left in her mind.

The voice-controlled lights went out and Niamh’s world had also seemed to have suddenly gone dark.

“Niamh, I’m talking to you,” came Kendrick’s domineering voice coldly.

Niamh shuddered reflexively. When Kendrick grabbed her wrist, she looked like a hedgehog that had been stripped of its spines. After bouncing off in horror, she suddenly knelt down by his feet, smashing her head desperately.

“Mr. Waldburg, it’s my fault! It’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have fallen in love with you and I shouldn’t provoke Nevaeh!

“Kendrick, I know I was wrong, please don’t hurt the people around me again.

“Our child has been treated so cruelly by you and her existence has been completely wiped out. I beg you, don’t touch my grandfather’s ashes. I promise I will never think of you anymore. I agree to divorce you, I don’t want to be your wife. I don’t want to be your wife anymore, in this life, in the next life, forever and ever. I won’t be your wife again!”

Kendrick stared at the little woman who was kneeling in front of him, bowing to him desperately for mercy blankly, and for a moment, he was stunned.

The lights in the corridor were flickering and dimming. Kendrick could not believe that the woman in front of him was Niamh. The stubborn and unyielding Niamh who had never bowed her head to him, the one who had said she would seek revenge if he did not kill her. Where did Niamh, the one who had said she’d wanted to pester him forever and be his woman, gone?

Kendrick’s heart trembled all of a sudden and he pulled Niamh up.

“Niamh, what are you doing?”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Waldburg! I’ve angered you once again. I’ll make myself scarce!”

Niamh dropped her head, picked up the key on the ground, and opened the door in a hurry. She lowered her head all the way, not sparing a glance at Kendrick.

She knew she was extremely ugly in Kendrick’s eyes and now that she was disfigured, she might be even more disgusting.

Niamh wanted to close the door immediately after entering, but it was pushed aside by Kendrick.

The house was less than 20 square meters, small but complete, and also very clean.

Yet, such a small house had also left her with nowhere to escape. As soon as Niamh turned around, she was dragged by Kendrick.

“Niamh, what are you doing? Did I allow to you to go?” His voice was as cold as usual.

Seeing Niamh lowering her head and not looking at him, Kendrick felt his heart stop. He reached out to pinch her chin and then lifted her face.

The X-shaped knife mark, glowing with a deep red color, appeared in Kendrick’s vision.

There were suddenly two eye-catching knife marks on her once beautiful face.

His pupils shrank all of a sudden and his heart was as if it were suddenly being bitten by thousands of insects. There was an indescribable feeling.

Seeing Kendrick looking at the wound on her face, Niamh raised her hand to cover it. “I’m sorry, Mr. Waldburg. I have soiled your eyes again. If you let me go, I will disappear automatically and never appear in front of your eyes again. “

As she said that, she wanted to break free of his imprisonment, but was pulled into an embrace by Kendrick.

“What’s the matter with your face?” he asked, it was a tone of ignorance and lack of understanding.

“Niamh, tell me, what’s the matter with your face? Who did it?”

“I asked for it! You don’t need to worry, Mr. Waldburg. I will never show up in front of you again to obstruct your vision!” Niamh said emotionally as she broke away from Kendrick’s arms and ran out.

She ran into the street without turning back. A piece of glacier had melted in her heart and black icy water had flooded her world.

She did not have the courage to face Kendrick again. His cruel methods of time and time again had made it so that her already devastated body and mind were no longer able to bear it.

At this moment, she just wanted to escape.

Even wanting to escape forever.

Suddenly, fine rain floated down the sky.

Niamh ran toward the zebra crossing in a daze, wanting to go over to the opposite street. A car was speeding in her direction. It was not slowing down.

Sensing the coming bright car lights, Niamh suddenly stopped and stood motionless in the middle of the zebra crossing.

Looking at this bustling street and watching the street lights lining it, she burst into tears.

If she could, she really wanted to restart her life…

Niamh closed her eyes and a harsh horn sounded out. Right at this critical moment, Niamh suddenly felt a strong and powerful arm hugging her tightly.

The moment the car had almost hit her, she was carried away by a man and had rolled to the side of the road.

“Niamh, listen to me! Even if you really want to die, you can only die by my hands!”
