Chapter 3

10 I woke up in his house, and there was no one around the first floor. I went to look for him in his study. No one, just the computer was on, projecting the content of his mobile phone. The chat interface scrolled. It was his bro asking him. "She's already like this, are you still not going to stop?" "No, I haven't tortured her enough yet." Jamal answered. "Well, forget about anything else. You know, she was almost attacked by a stray wolf. When our men arrived, she was naked. Even the wolf was almost dying from the cold." "You pretended to lose your memory and lied to her for so long, showing your love in front of her all day, and targeting her at every turn, if I were her I'd go crazy." "Listen to me, bro, it's time to confess. You've gone a little too far. Don't regret it then. " Jamal finally spoke again. "I'm a dignified alpha. I have no regrets at all." I covered my mouth to prevent myself from crying. This was a lie, a lie specially set up by Jamal to torture me. He didn't lose his memory, but he was with someone else. It wasn't enough that he deliberately lured me into the pit and locked me up overnight, but he did nothing to save me from ruin. I felt a bone-piercing chill rising from the soles of my feet to my neck I calmed down and took pictures to keep the evidence. There was a noise on the first floor. I thought he came back from outside. I went to him. Horribly calm, with the last trace of trust left in my words. "I just want to ask you one thing." "Have you recovered your memory?" I was only giving you this one chance. As long as you confessed, everything will be okay. As long as you admit it, I will tell you the truth about my departure. "Are you stupid? I didn't." "Hmph." I sneered. "Alright." Whether you expel me or punish me, I won't be your doctor, now and forever" Pushing away the Jamal in front of me, I went straight away. "Heaven, are you crazy?" "Come back here!" 11 Bar, dimly lit. I drank one cup after another. For the debt I once owed to him, for the grievances I have suffered these days. Not sure how he found me. Without a word, Jamal grabbed me and was about to take me. I pulled him and sat still. Before I opened my mouth, there were already tears in my eyes. "J, why do you pretend you don't know me?" "You've drunk too much. Come back with me." He said indifferently. I opened the photo and pushed my phone in front of him. "I know everything." Jamal slammed a glass of vodka, two veins on his forehead bulging, and his good-looking thick eyebrows were squeezing together at this time. Maybe he became angry after seeing the evidence, or maybe the backlog of emotions finally broke out at this moment. "Why should you come and leave as soon as you want!" Heaven swore she saw tears in his eyes. "Haven't I been good enough to you all these years?" "The day before we got engaged, you ran away with another man without saying a word." His tears slid to the tip of his nose and dripped on my palm. I feel so hot, it burnt my heart. "In your eyes, am I a bus stop where you can come and leave whenever you want?" Besides, what's the point in the past? He already has someone else around him now. Heaven thought so in her heart, and her expression was as calm as ever. Jamal couldn't stand it any longer and put his hands on Heaven's shoulders, forcing her to look into his eyes. "Tell me, did you ever love me? Hmm?" Nothing really happened between me and Edison. Edison's friends abroad were the top heart surgery experts, and ordinary people can't make an appointment at all. And Edison had only one condition, that was, ask me to leave everything behind and live abroad with him before I get engaged. I can't tell Jamal, he'll go crazy. I spoke slowly. "I'm sorry, but you've already taken revenge on me." "Let's settle it up." Jamal's eyes were still bloodshot, his hand on Heaven's shoulder was still pushing, his knuckles turning bluish and white. He grabbed my shoulders and asked in disbelief, "You're leaving again?" "It doesn't matter to you." I was ready to get out of here. Jamal pulled me into his arms and buried his head tightly on my shoulder. Maybe it was alcohol, and he whispered in my ear. "Don't go." His voice trembled a little. I feel a little distressed, but I don't want to fall into the vortex of three people. "Let go." He didn't talk, and his body was completely on me. After a long time, he sobbed and only said one word. "Please." I loosened his fingers one by one and pulled out. "Alphaking should be upright, not lingering between two women." Even though I still loved him I shouldn't hurt the other woman. Then let me help him get rid of all thoughts. "You have Nevaeh, I have Edison." "I'm engaged next year, so you can come as well." I left. Only he stayed where he was for a long time. The next day, a phone call came and I rushed to Jamal's house in a hurry. 12 His mother called and said that Jamal was completely ill. Everyone was occupied and no one was around him. Whether it was out of the benevolence of the doctor or the old love, I went anyway. He lay weakly in bed, and I boiled the medicine and brought it in. "You're here anyway." "Didn't you say you wouldn't see me again?" As soon as I heard this, I wanted to turn around and leave. Jamal grabbed my wrist in a very pitiful tone "Don't leave. I might really die without you." I took the medicine on the side and poured it into a glass, ready for him to take it. Jamal was spoiled. "It's so bitter. Feed me." I rolled my eyes at him and fed him anyway. "The most important thing for you right now is to rest and have a good night's sleep. I feel that your primordial spirit is very unstable right now." He took my hand. "You know the reason." "It's faster to get better this way." I didn't speak, but I stayed. I understood what he meant. Every time he encountered war, he would ask me to be by his side to calm his primordial spirit. He said I was his tranquilizer He gradually improved, woke up and pulled me to the study. Carefully pulled out a beautiful box from the safe. He took out the necklace from the box and put it around his neck. "I ripped it off the day you and Edison left." "But what you don't know is that after you left, I still couldn't bear it. I cried and picked it up." Because it was broken, I lost some of your breath, and I can't bear it. He looked down at the small glass bottle and rubbed it gently. That was my first gift to him, and he wore it for years. When Jamal looked up again, tears just fell. "Heaven, I can't find the lost aura. Can you replace it?" I relented, but my reason was slightly better. "Isn't it enough to hurt me? Do you want to hurt others?" He shook his head hastily. "She's just an actress I hired." "Don't you know that spelling Heaven backwards is Nevaeh?" "I have never forgotten you." All the truth came out. We smiled at each other. I thought we could finally be together. 13 We also had a sweet time, just like before. Full moon night. I just wore a very simple nightdress. I wiped my hair and walked out of the bathroom, and conveniently took a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator to stop my fire. Since I came out of the bathroom, his eyes were staring straight at me. "To tempt me like this?" "You're too vicious." Before I could speak to defend myself, Jamal's soft lips were already biting me. His warm palms protected my head and snapped hard towards him. It's hard to escape, overbearing and demanding. I fell into his warm, wide arms. Just as I was in confusion, my cell phone rang. It was from abroad. I motioned for him to stop and took my phone to the side. "Honey, why did you call me? Isn't it midnight over there?" What I didn't know was that Jamal in the dark had already clenched his fist, his nails sank deep into the flesh, and scarlet blood flowed down the veins of the blood vessels. I smelled blood and looked back at him in surprise, I knew, he was angry again. Within a few days, I received a gift from Edison. As for Jamal, obviously angry. Later, when I went to the tribal headquarters to deliver documents to Jamal, I saw the last scene I wanted to see. 14 Hot. It was the first word that came to mind when I saw Jamal and Nevaeh. She sat on his lap, hissing and kissing. The papers fell to the ground, and they were like frightened mice. "Heaven, listen to me!" Jamal came out after me. "What's there to explain? I've seen it all." "Didn't you say she was an actress? Then you guys are kissing now!" Jamal was so angry. "You have the nerve to talk about me?" "When I was making out with you, you called Edison for half an hour and called him honey." "With all the phone calls and gifts, what, are you going to run off with him again without saying a word?" Jamal's words completely chilled me, so I decided not to say a word. Jamal was out of control and still shouting. "She went crazy and kissed me. You blame me?" "Even if it's true that I kissed her, would you be allowed to run away with another man and not allow me to kiss another woman?" "Who knows what happened to you and Edison." I looked at the person in front of me, familiar and strange. Once I thought he was the one I loved the most, the one who loved me the most, But he was speculating on me with the greatest malice of human beings. Is this still called love? I didn't think it should. Thereupon "Pa-" I turned and gave him a slap. Jamal went completely mad and dragged me straight back to his office. He wanted me to watch them do it. 15 Jamal pulled my hand into the office and locked the door. After pushing me away, he picked Nevaeh up at the waist. Followed by crazy kisses. Like a mad dog, he cruelly asked me to see how he treated his new prey. He still hated me. Now he had no trust in me anymore. I looked at him in front of me, and I only felt trembling and terrible. Things were impermanent, and not everything can pass away with the wind. Nevaeh smiled at me smugly. He had shed her clothes, leaving her shoulders exposed. "That's enough!" I think this was the last time I shed tears for Jamal. "It's just a birthday present." "You've forgotten my birthday. What qualifications do you have to go crazy here?" After learning the truth, Jamal's momentum was a little weaker. After a long silence, he seemed to calm down. Pushed away Nevaeh. "She just wants money." "Believe me, I really had nothing to do with her before …" I nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, I believe." It's just that he had something to do with her now. Actually, I didn't believe it. I just gave up and was too lazy to pester him again. I felt like a puppet saying what he wanted to hear and doing what he loved and that was enough. The only thing was that that I have no ego and no soul. Reunion was just a lie. There was too much gap between him and I. There were so many things in this world that I should do. Like improving your medical skills, or spending good time with my grandmother. Today's Jamal was no longer the person I love. Years of love and hate had been completely disintegrated at this moment. "We can't be together anymore." "It's true this time, because I don't love you."
