Chapter 302

"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you agree with what I said?"

Dustin's final glimmer of hope disappeared along with Dahlia's silence.

He'd given her a chance to explain herself, but she didn't give him the

answer he wanted.

"I'm sorry. I have my reasons." Dahlia felt her heart bleeding, and

breathing became difficult.

"Reasons?" Dustin sneered. "What could make you sell your body? What

could stop you from explaining things to me?"

"I'm sorry… I'm sorry…" Dahlia sobbed, anguished.

"Don't apologize to me. We're already divorced, sol have no right to

control anything you do, and you didn't betray me." Dustin's face

gradually turned hard. "However, please don't ever bother me again. I'm

still human. I can't keep being hurt by you. So, won't you please let me

go?"

"I …" Dahlia didn't know what to say.

Perhaps the best thing for her to do now was to completely cut ties

with him since she had no choice but to yield to Luis for her brother,

her family, and Dustin. Still, she'd already made up her mind. The day of

her union with Luis would be the day she died.

"Alright. That's enough. You've said everything you needed to say."

Luis grinned tauntingly. "Wait for me in the room, Dahlia. We'll have

some fun later."

Dahlia didn't move. However, Dustin's breathing began to quicken.

"What are you waiting for? A show?" Luis gave Dustin a disdainful

look over. "Though I must admit. You've got good taste in women. Her

smooth, supple skin sure is lovely! I'll have lots of fun later. Well,

you can watch from the side if you don't mind." Luis chuckled, grinning

wickedly.

"You're dead meat!" Enraged, Dustin planted his foot into Luis'

abdomen and, with a bang, the latter crashed into the wall, passing out

on the spot

"Are you crazy, Dustin? Do you have any idea what you've done?"

Dahlia immediately paled. Luis was an aristocrat in Stonia. Offending

someone like him was like asking for someone to kill

you.

"What? Are you worried about him?" Dustin sniggered. "For you to fall

for a pervert like him, I can't help wondering if there's something wrong

with your eyes.

"That has nothing to do with you. Get out! I never want to see you

again!" Dahlia bit her lip, trying to control her emotions. Injuring Luis

was no small matter. Dustin would be in trouble if Luis' bodyguards were

to arrive now.

"Are you finally showing your true colors? Have you decided to stop

pretending?" Dustin chuckled coolly

"So what? I don't mind letting you know I'm not just dating him.

We're engaged, and our wedding is in three days!" Dahlia revealed the

shocking news.

"What? Engaged?" Dustin's expression immediately darkened. "What's

wrong with you? How could you marry someone like him?"

"Who I marry is none of your business! And you're right. I was toying

with your feelings, but so what? You were the one who was stupid enough

to listen to me. Why don't you look in the fucking mirror? Do you think a

broke loser like you can stand beside me? Luis is different. With his

family background and power, I'll live a luxurious life once I marry him!

Compared to him, you're nothing! There you go. This is the truth you

wanted! Are you happy now!" Dahlia roared.

"You're shameless!" Unable to stop himself, Dustin slapped her, and

clear marks appeared on her face instantly.

Dustin was shocked. Never once in their three years of marriage had

he ever struck her, so he never expected himself to lose control of his

emotions. Still, anger quickly took over his dismay.

She deserved it!

"I was an idiot to believe you. Please don't ever appear before me

ever again!" Dustin spat before leaving.

"Dus-" Dahlia reached out a hand to stop him but managed to stop

herself. She knew that this was the end for them. However, this was still

a good ending.

So, why? Why did her heart ache so much?

Her chest was throbbing so much she couldn't breathe.

"Dahlia! What happened?" Just then, Florence had arrived. When she

spotted Luis unconscious on the floor, she paled. "Did you do this?"

"Mom, Dustin dropped by just now. He knows everything now. We're

never getting back together." Dahlia wailed, throwing herself into her

mother's embrace.

"Shh… Mom's here." Florence patted her daughter's back. "Your status

has changed. Dustin isn't good enough for you anymore.

"B-but I love him! I really want to be with him! Why is God doing

this to me? I don't want to accept this!" Dahlia wailed tormentedly.

"Life isn't always smooth sailing, Dahlia. You should look on the

bright side instead. I'm sure you'll be happier in the future." Florence

sighed.

"Mom, do you know how much it hurt when I said those hurtful things

to him? It was like a knife was twisting inside me! I wanted to tell him

the truth and that I loved him, but I couldn't. I'm worried he might get

arrested again. Mom, it hurts. It hurts so much!" Dahlia howled, thumping

her heart furiously like it would make her feel better.

While she was weeping, her vision suddenly turned black, and she lost

consciousness.
