Chapter 1801: Just A Shell Of A Body

Chapter 1801: Just a Shell of a Body

Afterwards, she noticed that the women who used to be seen with Felix

suddenly disappeared overnight. And this renowned playboy, who

always had women around him, now only had her.

She admitted that he was skilled and knew how to please her in that

aspect, making her experience pleasurable and even addictive.

Often, he didn't need to ask, she herself wanted it. So, she was willing

to maintain this kind of relationship with him.

This kind of thing was like opening Pandora's box-it was unstoppable.

She never revealed her emotions. For the past four years, she truly

treated him as a "bedmate.”

But in reality, as time passed, imperceptibly, she had long since moved

her feelings and given her heart to him.

So, when he expressed his desire to have a child, she agreed.

When she saw him in danger and instinctively shielded him from a

bullet, it was simply her body and mind responding without any ulterior

motive.

All along.

What she was concerned about were the unresolved hidden dangers

from the past, the person in front of her, Rayan, and the lurking

danger...

She didn't want to drag Felix down because she herself didn't know

what her future held.

Cloud grabbed Vicki by the collar. "Why don't you continue speaking?

Have you changed your views? Do you think Felix is a good person?

You married him not to seek revenge on the Saunders family but

because you truly love him?"

In fact, he already had the answer in his heart. He just refused to

accept it.

Vicki straightforwardly replied, "Yes, I love him."

Cloud's expression suddenly darkened, his face turning cold like

remaining ashes. He gripped Vicki's collar, trembling even, and asked,

"Then what am I? What am I in your heart?"

Vicki took a deep breath. "We can't go back to the past. Ever since you

insisted on escaping, we haven't been able to go back, Rayan."

She looked at him with sincere eyes. "I liked you, you know. I've always

liked you. When we were in the orphanage, you were my only family.

The line between familial love and romantic love is thin. I don't deny

that during the time I was imprisoned, you were all I thought about. You

saved me, you were a light in my life."

"I did everything for you. Vicki, ask yourself, when I killed Xiao Zhen, I

was already eighteen years old. I was sentenced to ten years for

intentional murder. You know very well that I did it for you. Why couldn't

you wait for me?"

He questioned her with a pained heart.

"I didn't wait for you? Rayan?" Vicki's eyes filled with a hint of pain. "I'm

not grateful to you? I know very well that you saved me. You killed Xiao

Zhen, and I was an accomplice. I wasn't yet eighteen, so I was given

probation. Killing, no matter how evil Xiao Zhen was, is still a crime. If

you had served your sentence, you would have been free by now,

breathing the air of freedom with a clear conscience. I would have

waited for you. I would have been with you when you got out. We

wouldn't be like this today. We would have continued on together, just

like when we were children!”

Cloud's eyes reddened with anger. "How can I rest assured with you

out there alone? I escaped to protect you. What did I do wrong?"

“You were wrong, very wrong! Rayan, these are not reasons to agree to

the other party's conditions. They got you out of prison, but what was

the price you paid? You sold yourself to OGW like a dog. How many

things have you done against your conscience? How much blood is on

your hands? This isn't you, Rayan. No, Cloud. You even abandoned

your own country, your own name. You even joined forces with Athena.

You have changed, you have lost yourself. How can you still expect me

to retain my original intentions?" Vicki hit Cloud's heart with each word,

revealing the past.

Back then, Rayan had been sentenced to ten years for intentional

murder, initially a twenty-year sentence. But due to the grave crimes of

Xiao Zhen, the court had shown leniency. He went to prison, and she

felt immense pain. Because he did it for her.

She had thought about waiting for him, even telling him that if he

behaved well in prison, he could be released three years early. At that

time, she was in her twenties, still young, and they had a lifetime ahead

of them.

But he ultimately took the wrong path. The mysterious organization

Rohomes noticed his abilities, and they proposed an exchange. He

agreed. Escaping meant that he would be blacklisted in Pascaylia. So,

he had to changehis name and identity. Rayan became Cloud.

This wasn't what she wanted. It shouldn't have been like this.

After he disappeared, she desperately worked on strengthening herself.

Later, she met Christian and became a valuable assistant to the Ballard

family. If Rayan had waited for her, by then, she had the ability to

legally bring him out of prison.

Unfortunately, it was all too late.

They had drifted further and further apart.

He had lost himself.

And she, her original intentions had grown cold, eventually falling in

love with someone else.

“I'm not wrong!" Cloud's eyes burned with anger. "I joined OGW

because I realized that we had no power, no authority, and could only

be bullied. I couldn't bear to see you being bullied by others. Even if I

had to walk the path of darkness to the end, I wanted to have the power

to protect you. And I did. Now, I lead the entire OGW. I can have

whatever I want, as easily as flipping my hand.”

Vicki looked at him with disappointment, shaking her head gently. "In

that case, there's nothing more to say. I know that you must have a

special mission coming to Khebury. Is kidnapping Anderson related to

the warlords?"

"Yes," Cloud brushed Vicki's cheek and slid his hand down.

Suddenly, with a tearing sound, he forcefully tore open her clothes,

revealing a large expanse of beautiful skin on her chest. Healthy colors,

textures from regular exercise, lines that were well-defined, causing

one's blood to surge.

"Just as long as I obtain this, complete the final mission, I can leave

OGW. I will make it happen,” he said, his eyes filled with desire, unable

to look away from her.

“I want to take back everything that is rightfully mine, including you,

Vicki."

He reached out, brushing his fingers along the contours of her skin. “I

want you. I want you right now. You belong to me, you should have

always belonged to me!"

He bent down like a madman, biting and nibbling at her neck, trying to

cover up the traces left by Felix.

Vicki lay there, looking at the ceiling, completely motionless.

She calmly said, "My body is just a shell. If you want it, take it. It was

my debt to you in the first place, and I used my body to repay it."

Those words were like a bucket of cold water, poured directly over him.

The intense heat that had driven him mad suddenly cooled down,

turning as cold as ashes. The pleasure from his body was only

temporary. What he wanted was not just her body. If it was just for that,

when they were in the orphanage, he could have claimed her for

himself. Back then, she had been willing. He didn't steal forbidden fruit.

He had remained faithful. Everything he did was to protect her heart.

But now, what was he doing?
