The Woman From Hell

He did not say anything and was staring at me silently. I could not help but feel nervous with the

proximity of his angular and handsome face to me. The air inside the room seemed to have thinned

out. I got up to open the windows.

Suddenly, he pulled me into an embrace and wrapped both of his arms around me and held me tightly.

“Theo Grant.” Although I did not know why he behaved this way, I did not like being hugged like that.

Although I struggled in his arms, he still did not let go.

The sharp stench of alcohol rose to my nose. Theo was drunk again.

“Let go of me. I’ll pour a cup of water for you,” I spoke softly.

“Will it become hate?” He asked as he hugged me tightly.

I did not understand what he meant and could only look at him in confusion. His lips were slightly apart,

and his dark eyes were quite dilated and out of focus. It seemed like he was heavily drunk.

I did not understand how he managed to find her even in such a state.

“Will it change?” He did not give up when I did not respond to him. He stubbornly continued while

looking me in the eye.

“It will,” I told him as I pulled his arms from around me. I tried to free myself from his embrace, but he

held me tightly in a vice-like grip.

“Will you take it back?” He continued asking me as he grabbed my hand like a child to stop me from

moving.

I suddenly understood what he was asking. I did not know what to say. “I don’t know either,” I told him

in exasperation.

He stopped asking me questions. His breath grew erratic as he hugged me tighter.

I held his face and said softly, “Theo, I’m Wanda Lane. We’re about to get a divorce. You can’t do this

to me.”

My words triggered him. He carried me and threw me onto the bed.

“Theo, I’m Wanda Lane. I’m someone that you hate a lot. Take a closer look.” I was on the verge of a

breakdown. I took his face in my hands again and tried to make him take a closer look at me.

He looked up and widened his blurry eyes. He fixed his gaze at me for a few seconds before letting out

a soft affirmative hum.

I remembered that I have a child in me. We must not continue like this.

I grabbed his hand and looked at him. “You’re drunk. Don’t do this,” I said.

I could not help but feel captivated when I saw his child-like smile on his handsome face. Theo looked

different tonight. He was rather cute.

I pushed him away with all my might and got down from the bed. I put on my clothes and left the place.

If I stayed there any longer, I might not be able to keep my child.

It was still drizzling outside.

I started the car and sped along the road. I have gone through too many things lately. I did not know

how to handle them all. I just wanted to run far away and escape from everything. I was afraid that I

would return to the past if I did not vent out my emotions.

I did not know how long I had been driving. The sun had started to rise. When I finally came to my

senses, I realized that I was deep in the mountain area.

I was surrounded by a vast expanse of mountains and woods, and there was no one else around. The

narrow road was windy and seemed endless. I could not hear anything except for the odd squawks of

birds.

Regrets filled my heart. I should not have driven off recklessly on a whim and put myself in the current

position.

I stepped harder on the accelerator as I wanted to leave these woods as soon as possible.

Suddenly, a Tibetan Mastiff rushed out in front of my car, and I immediately stepped on the brakes. It

seemed that I was too late as I could feel my right car tire run over something.

I was doomed. I took a deep breath and sat in the car without moving. I dared not go down from the car

to take a look.

I sat there motionlessly for a long time until someone knocked on my car window, which brought me to

my senses.

I turned around and saw a tall man standing outside my car window. His expression was grave, and his

face was full of stubble. He looked terrifying. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

When he noticed that I was not moving, he pointed at my car tire and gestured for me to get down the

car.
