Chapter 110


    110 Suffocating feeling


    Maverick’s car stopped at the beach where Jeslyn asked him to take her. Getting down from the car,


    she walked soullessly to the bank and slumped on the sand, staring long and hard at the waters.


    Maverick stayed in his car and didn’t get down. A while ago she was determined to ruin her stepmother,


    but after watching the CCTV footage of how her stepmother was hit, she suddenly turned into a


    chicken and asked that he take her here!


    While looking at the waters, Jeslyn wiped a teardrop and said: “I remembered when I first discovered


    that my m um died. I ran away from the hospital and came here. You told me toe home with you


    and that you would take care of me. I was skeptical and didn’t want to go with you but I still did anyway.


    I also remembered that after I discovered that Mr. Wales remarried or should I say, returned to his wife.


    I was eager to tear them apart for betraying my mother but you stopped me and told me to leave the


    revenge to you. But then, you didn’t do anything and you said he was my father and that I might need


    him in the future.


    Grandfather, when is this future you talked about? Why did you think I would need that man in the


    future? You were so kind to him, yet they ki lled you too after ki lling my mother.


    I can’t wait for that future, grandfather. I have taken my first step. Hope you and mother are not mad at


    me. I didn’t kill Be and I have no intention of killing her. Thus, I sent her to the hospital.


    However, I’ll make her suffer so much pain for all she did to you and my mother. She is evil and every


    evil person must pay…But then… I miss you so much, grandpa.”


    The wave of the sea swept to the shore, bathing her in the process. Jeslyn felt the cool water on her


    skin. Guess that was what she needed right now after watching the CCTV footage of how the car sent


    Madam Chen flying into the air and falling into another car. It was a nightmarish scene.


    Jeslyn needed a ce to cool off and she couldn’t think of any ce other than the beach. The


    heavenly breeze, cool salty water, and the natural ocean sand remind her that she is still alive when


    things be too difficult that she can’t breathe.


    She just realized that revenge was a suffocating feeling, but still, she has no intention of stopping until


    she is done. Not after she just started it. Even though she didn’t feel the satisfaction of almost killing


    another human, Jeslyn didn’t care. If they were ok with what they did to her mother and grandfather,


    then she would also learn to be okay with what she was about to do to them.


    After a long time had passed, Jeslyn felt light-weighted and her skin stopped touching the sand. She


    knew right then that she was being carried. She turned to look at him. His eyes were focused on his


    direction however he opened his mo uth to speak.


    “You said you wanted revenge but you were about tomit suicide before youplete your task.


    You have spent longer than enough time out there. Don’t forget that Valen has started to get used to


    you around, so know now that your life is no longer yours to take.”


    Jeslyn stared unblinkingly at him without saying anything until she was ced in her seat. As he was


    buckling her seat belt, she pulled his ck tie towards her, making him stare at her in the face.

    “My life is no longer mine to take?” She asked quietly


    Maverick said nothing and waited for her to continue.


    “I remembered that I haven’t epted your new terms. I only still recognize the contract I signed with


    you… our marriage ends after one year.” She said with dreamy eyes.


    Maverick leaned in, their foreheads almost touching. “Your life and death are mine to decide, Jeslyn.


    My conditions cannot be negotiated.”


    Jeslyn shivered probably due to the AC but one thing was clear, his tone was just like always but with a


    tinge of warning.


    Jeslyn lowered her eyes to his inviting lips. “What if Valen’s motheres back? I have to leave,


    right?”


    “You are shivering.” He ignored her question.


    Jeslyn pulled his tie closer. She had never seen him wear a tie before. This was her first time.


    “Maverick, my question is important.” She said on his lips, their breaths fanning each other’s faces.


    “Your health is deteriorating, you can’t risk catching a cold.” He ignored her question again.


    Jeslyn let go of his tie and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Maverick, I don’t have a problem if your


    wife returns, nor do I have a problem with sumbing to my Illness. However, there’s one thing I would


    love to ask you for something.”


    Maverick continued to stare at her dreamy face. He knew whatever she was saying wasing from


    her innermost desire however, it wasn’t being said by the conscious Jeslyn.


    “I want to consummate our marriage. I don’t want to di e without…” she leaned closer to his face and


    captured his lips. It was a quick kiss, which she believed was enough to convey her intention.


    “Rest for now,” Maverick told her before he walked around the car, got in, and switched the AC off.


    Jeslyn was still looking at him and her body reaction screamed horny. He took his coat and wore it on


    her before he started to drive out of the beach.


    “Don’t take me home,” Jeslyn murmured before her eyes closed.


    Maverick understood that she wouldn’t want Valen to see her like this. He also didn’t want her to go


    home because she would be visiting the hospital tonight and it would be inconvenient to leave Valen’s


    side. That child had be too jealous these days that he might decide to sleep in Jeslyn’s room


    tonight. 1
