Episode 18

I didn't give a shit about Miki's killer gaze, I no longer care how many enemies I have to face.

I have been reborn from the ashes where they burned me, I want revenge on the people who burned me in the flames of hell. On the people who killed my parents without any mercy, I need to put aside my fears and follow the advice Lili gave me yesterday morning.

I have to stop being the stupid woman I have been all these years... Yesterday, when I let myself fall from the bridge, I realized something.

If I die, the only one who will win is Fabian and all the bastards who ruined my life. And I won't allow it, I won't allow them to win, especially now that I know he was the killer of my parents.

I'm glad that Fabian Wlod himself killed his creation, the woman he made, to make way for the woman my father tried to shape since I was a child. A strong, brave woman capable of destroying anyone who hurts her.

I'm going to show Fabian Wlod that I am not the woman he thinks he created, I am more than trash like Cesar likes to say, I am the only descendant left of my parents, the one who won't rest until avenging their death.

The trash that will end each one of them... I won't rest until I see each one of them on their knees, and if I have to sell myself to the only demon who can help me, I will do it... That demon is Lawrence, he is the only one who can help me carry out my revenge.

"I can't be pregnant because I've never been with a man!" I said again slowly.

Miki opened his eyes with fury, his hands clenched violently, if Lawrence wasn't there, I'm sure Miki would have strangled me.

"Shut up!" Miki ordered me, with a threatening tone of voice.

Shut up? Who is he to shut me up? I'm tired of continuing to be the same stupid woman I have been my whole life.

"I'm tired of being the stupid one that everyone tries to submit!" I have made the decision to never allow anyone to walk all over me again...

"I don't understand why you want me to shut up? If I'm not pregnant as you say, why do you lie and say that I am pregnant?..."

My words infuriated Miki even more, he walked furiously towards me...

I quickly straightened my back, seeing Miki walking furiously towards me, instinctively I covered my face with my hands, thinking he could hit me...

The blows Cesar gave me were enough to leave an internal fear in me, a kind of fear that I can't shake off.

"Get out!" I heard a loud shout from Lawrence, stopping Miki.

Miki stopped with his hand in the air, clenching his fist before lowering it. And he only turned slightly towards where Lawrence was standing.

I don't know what Lawrence has to make Miki submit to him in an inexplicable way. Just through his gaze, Lawrence chilled every muscle in my body, Lawrence has a strange power over me and anyone else near him...

"She's a fucking liar who just wants to make us fight, don't you see Lawrence?... Besides, she's pregnant with another man!" Miki continued to insist with his damn lie about my pregnancy.

"Get out, Miki, right now!..."

Before Lawrence could finish speaking, Miki turned around to leave my room.

I can tell that Lawrence is even angrier than Miki himself. Although Lawrence spoke very little, his words were enough to silence Miki completely.

The way Lawrence looked at Miki was in a way that I wish he never looked at me, it sent a horrible shiver down my body.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became tense, Lawrence stood in front of me without saying a word, his eyes watching me as if trying to find something in me.

Suddenly, Lawrence gripped his stomach tightly, bent down in pain.

I quickly got out of bed to help Lawrence lie down. I can tell he's still not well.

It's only been a couple of nights since he was injured and now he's already standing in front of me. Lawrence was a very strange man.

"You're reckless, you took more than three shots to your body, you should be resting in bed so you can heal quickly," I said as I covered his body with a blanket.

"Are you worried about me?..." Lawrence asked.

I looked down, avoiding eye contact with Lawrence. I felt like a stupid woman for helping the man who forced me to do something I didn't want.

"A little..." was my response before I walked away from him.

Before I could fully walk away, Lawrence's hand grabbed mine, preventing me from taking another step.

"Stay by my side..." Lawrence said, pointing to the empty side of the bed.

I turned to the left side of the bed, lying down next to him as he instructed. I stayed there for a moment, keeping a distance from him, but his hands gently placed themselves on my shoulders.

I felt strange, but I didn't have the same feeling of rejection towards him as I did that night he forced me to perform oral sex on him...

"Why do you want me by your side?" I asked, lifting my gaze to look into his eyes.

For a long time, Lawrence didn't say a word, which made me feel uneasy as I hoped he would address all my doubts.

Then Lawrence lowered his head, kissing my lips with great tenderness. I placed my hand behind his head, there is something about his lips that I like too much.
