Chapter 2
Chapter 2
Damien wrapped his arm around Rosy and headed for the door. I stumbled after them, swaying with each step.
It wasn’t until I was seated in the car that my head cleared slightly.
When Delcher first died, Damien had just taken over the company, Countless business partners demanded to terminate their contracts, refusing to work with
the Scott family anymore.
Back then, Damien practically lived at business dinners and bar meetings, desperate to secure deals for the company.
After half a month of non-stop drinking, Damien developed a perforated stomach ulcer and was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery.
Since then, whenever I was around, I never let Damien drink too much.
After all, I had promised Delcher I would take good care of Damien.
Lost in thought, I barely noticed the driver pulling up to the Scott estate. The moment we stepped inside, Damien and Rosy were already tangled together.
Rosy’s face clearly showed her enjoyment, though she put on a show of resistance.
“Damien, Damien… not like this. Violena’s still here.”
Damien’s actions didn’t slow down one bit. He buried his head in Rosy’s neck, his voice dripping with seduction.
“Don’t mind her. She’s nothing. Trust me, a shameless slut like her won’t leave even if you kick her out…”
After watching them disappear into the bedroom half-dressed, I shook my throbbing head and stumbled back to my own room.
Early the next morning.
I was jolted awake by Rosy barging into my room. She stood beside my bed, glaring down at me with triumph gleaming in her eyes.
“Did you enjoy last night’s show? Consider it punishment for daring to covet my man.”
“Three years! You’ve been clinging to him for three whole years! Has he ever looked at you properly even once? If I were you, I’d rather kill myself than humiliate myself like this.”
I ignored her completely, throwing off the covers and heading for the bathroom.
Just as I reached the hallway, Rosy grabbed my wrist.
“What? Hit too close to home, so now you’re running away?”
“I’ve seen plenty of women like you. You’re only after the Scott family’s power and wealth, aren’t you? Delcher’s dead, but you’re still not satisfied. Now you want to sink your claws into Damien. What is this-when the older brother’s gone, you go after the younger one?”
“I have no idea what his brother was thinking, falling for someone like you. I heard he treated you pretty well when you were together. Look at yourself now-such a pathetic slut. Delcher’s probably rolling in his grave.”
“If you ask me, that Delcher must have had serious issues too. Anyone who’d fall for a slut like you couldn’t have been much better himself.”
I couldn’t take it anymore. I jerked my head up and glared at Rosy.
Rosy looked pleased with my reaction.
“Though I’ll give you credit-you had good taste, spotting Delcher’s potential back in college. His abilities really were impressive. In just a few years, he built the Scott family into what it is today.”
“What a shame he was short-lived. Died before he could enjoy the fruits of his labor. Oh my, you don’t have some kind of husband-killing curse, do you? Poor Delcher must have been cursed to death by you…”
My heart began racing. It felt like a ball of rage was about to explode in my chest.
Bow could the? How dare the?!
I could hold bark anymore. I drew back my arm and slapped her hard across the face.
Booy dutched her cheek, ready to curse me out, when Damien’s shocked voice suddenly erupted.
Theme What the hell are you doing?!”
At the sound of his voice, Rosy’s smugness melted into wounded innocence.
“S’kodema, I was just asking you to stop clinging to Damien. After all, he and I truly love each other. How could you think I was showing off?”
I know you like Damen, and I know you resent him for choosing me, but you can’t just hit me! I’ve been respectful to you because you were Damien’s brother’s girlfriend. How can you be so unreasonable?”
Damien stared coldly at Rosy’s swollen cheek, then turned to roar at me.
Violena! What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
Done pretending to be gentle and obedient after three years? Or was that understanding act always fake-and this is your true, vicious nature?”
