Chapter 281


    281 Complicated love


    She had seen him a couple of times, gazing at other girls he found interest in but because he was


    afraid of hurting her, he wouldn’t pursue his heart’s desire.


    She knew he tried to make it work, he fought against himself so many times but what can the body do


    when the heart has other ns?


    So he stayed in the rtionship without loving her and also not betraying or humiliating her by cheating


    on her.


    Beverly thought she was selfish when she didn’t let him go even though she saw he was hurting, she


    felt she was the only one receiving in this rtionship and never giving, only enduring and trying to


    make him happy.


    Although she understood that she was only beating a dead snake, she has no intention of letting go.


    She just can’t live without Fin, not after all they’d been through.


    When he told her he wanted to break up for the third time, she saw he was serious and finally made


    up


    her mind to allow him to be with the one he thinks he loves, but it wasn’t to go away literally but to


    leave the world.


    She was already nning to secretlymit suicide in a way that wouldn’t make him me himself or


    grieve too much.


    She thought that her being alive would cause difort to Fin’s new rtionship and this idea was


    borne after watching a love drama that had almost the same story as theirs. Even though the ML left


    with the FL, he still couldn’t forget his childhood love who became a total mess after he left her.


    The pity and guilt he felt for her made his rtionship with the FL not smooth sailing and after the


    childhood love died of cancer, the ML became ill.


    Beverly didn’t want Fin to end up like that and chose to immediately end it before it was toote but


    God sent Jeslyn to her.


    She and Jeslyn had been friends on Chatme but never really talked until one day. She got drunk and


    felt like screaming her problem to someone and the only person she felt wouldn’t make a mockery of


    her was Jeslyn, so she requested for her number from Celestine.


    Also, she was sure that Jeslyn wouldn’t tell Fin what she was going through because Jeslyn and Fin


    aren’t very close and Maverick wasn’t the type to get involved in other people’s rtionships even


    though Jeslyn tells him, which was why she had no problem trusting that her secret would be safe with


    Jeslyn.


    Surprisingly, Jeslyn gave her, a stranger, a listening ear without trying to calm her down or give her


    advice. She was just like a wall that took in all of her nagging and dissatisfaction.


    After two days, Jeslyn called her and requested they meet up. She was scared, or rather


    ufortable. Firstly, she forgot the day after her outburst that she spoke to Jeslyn, and secondly, she


    had never gone out with anyone who wasn’t Fin.


    So when Jeslyn suddenly asked her out, she got scared of being alone with a half–stranger.


    Fortunately, she went and got to know that Jeslyn was the sweetest soul she had evere across,


    except Fin, of course.


    So after she made up her mind tomit suicide after attending Jeslyn’s debut, she suddenly saw


    Jeslyn’s message, asking her how her rtionship with Fin was.


    It was the first time anyone ever cared to ask her, and because she had somehow grown to like Jeslyn,


    she told her it was so and so. However, Jeslyn being the smart person she was, picked up the untold


    truth and came up with a n that should be executed after her debut.


    The funniest thing was Jeslyn telling her: “After the n if he still doesn’t change his mind, you can set


    him free.” If only she had an idea of how she intended to set him free.


    Presently, Inspector Fin was standing by the guest room door with a tray of food in hand. She hadn’t


    eaten since and he noticed, however, there was no sounding from the room which meant she


    must be sleeping and he didn’t want to disturb her, so he stayed there like that for almost thirty minutes,


    thinking whatnot before he turned around and left.

    That night…..


    Madam Caroline didn’t look for her daughter when she didn’t return home for almost two days, nor did


    she bother to ce a call to Feng Long to know why. At this moment, she was on her luxurious bed,


    sleeping like never before.


    Maybe she thought her daughter can’t be harmed anywhere in the Country.


    Piper, on the other hand, was curled up under the duvet as she battled a fever. Her inside was hot but


    her body was cold and shivering. However, her pale face had sweat on it.


    Her involuntary movements didn’t go unnoticed by the hazel hawk eyes that didn’t stray from her,


    owned by the handsome Brian.


    He hadn’t slept a wink since and was staring at the sick Piper lying there on the bed. He had done all


    he could to make her find relief but nothing seemed to be working… He had also gone and banged on


    the door for more than thirty minutes but no one came down, they didn’t even bring them food.


    Coming to thest resort, Brian got up from the chair and started to unbutton his blue shirt while saying:


    This is troublesome. Why do you have to be sick now? Piper, why do you love to give me stress? Does


    it make you happy?”


    Piper couldn’t respond even though she heard, or she didn’t want to respond. Since yesterday when


    they’ve been here, Brian didn’t stop bullying her, and she was tired of him.


    She slowly opened her blurry eyes to vaguely see him taking off his shirt. What was he trying to do?!


    She watched as he took off his… trousers!


    “Wh- what are you doing?” She asked weakly.
