Chapter 14 Does My Life Mean Nothing?!
âChristian, why just canât you believe that Iâve never done anything to harm Bella?! My life in the last
two years was a living hell, and now, two years later, youâre destroying my hopes again. Does my life
mean nothing while Bellaâs does?!â
This was the first time Victoria cried after being released from prison. She didnât bawl; tears just kept
streaming down her face like a never-ending waterfall. Meanwhile, Christian frowned at the sight of her
crying. Two years ago, he felt nothing when a crying Victoria tried explaining to him, but now, seeing
her cry made him beyond irritated.
Such emotional turbulence made him purse his lips. Looking at her red-rimmed eyes, he said with a
frown, âVictoria, donât just constantly think about ending it all. Someone like you will just end up in hell
even if you die. Youâll never go to heaven.â
âIf hell is a place where you and Bella donât exist, then itâs very much heaven to me. However, Earth to
me is absolute hell because of you!â
Just then, the elevator doors opened with a ping.
âGood, very good.â Christian was so angry that he actually smiled. With that, he grabbed Victoriaâs arm
and dragged her out of the elevator.
Cameron happened to be standing right outside; he was delighted upon seeing Christian, but the
second he saw who the man was dragging, his face paled as he hurriedly chased after Christian. âMr.
Thatcher, what happened? Has she upset you?â
âF*ck off!â
Startled by Christianâs menacing gaze, Cameron dared not take another step further.
Victoriaâs leg hurt terribly, and her stomach felt uncomfortable too. Christianâs legs were long, and his
strides were wide, so Victoria was practically dragged all the way into a room and hurled to the floor.
But the next second, he grabbed her by the neck like he had done two years ago and leaned close to
her. His face was only an inch away from hers, and their breaths intertwined.
âVictoria,â he pronounced icily, making her shiver. âIâm your hell, huh?â
Since she couldnât breathe properly, Victoriaâs face flushed crimson as streaks of tears wet her face,
making her look absolutely pitiful. However, the young woman didnât struggle. In fact, she hoped
Christian would just end her there and then.
Alas, the man wouldnât do as she wished. He didnât let go, nor did he exert any more force.
Henovelxo.com fast update could feel the warmth of the skin beneath his palm and her beating pulse
even more so.
As he stared at her hopeless, dull eyes, he suddenly lowered his head and bit down on her lip hard,
causing Victoriaâs pupils to dilate a little. As soon as she felt the pain, a thick taste of blood spread
between their lips.
A lip like this was supposed to be dry, but it made Christian obsess over it like it was narcotics. âSince
Iâm your hell, Victoria, then mark my words-you can never escape,â he threatened in a husky voice.
Two years ago, he wouldnât even bother taking a glance at her when she dressed up beautifully and
gave herself to him, but now, he had actually kissed her when she stood absolutely disheveled in front
of him in the dirtiest cleaner clothes.
She wanted to push him away, but she didnât have the strength to do so. At that, she shuddered and
pleaded with gnashed teeth, âChristian, donât do this to me. Pleaseâ¦â
However, the man did nothing, keeping his hand clamped onto her neck as he fixed his gaze on her
with a lowered head. She had a striking face, but right then, it was ashen.
Suddenly, Christian came to his senses and let go of her. His gaze landed on her bare shoulder. The
porcelain skin had two streaks of jarring old scars that made a hint of frost lace his eyes. At that, he
chucked the jacket aside at her and ordered impassively, âScram!â
Victoria grabbed the jacket and sat up slowly while biting her lip.
Just then, a knock came at the door, and a familiar yet strange voice sounded behind it the next
second. âChristian? Are you inside?â
Victoria could tell who the voice belonged to even after she turned to dust. At that, she looked up at
Christian, only to find him looking unfazed and moving to open the door. Taken aback, she grabbed his
suit pants. âI donât want to see herâ¦â
The man frowned in response. Seeing her pale face, he thought she was fearful. However, just as he
was about to say something, the door opened.
