Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 287

Scarlett's POV:

"Crawl! Hurry the fuck up! Otherwise, your son will be thrown into the sea!"

The shrill voice of a woman along with the faint crying of my child was coming from upstairs.

'Hurry up! Scarlett, move!' I told myself.

I crawled even faster despite the pain. My whole body was aching so much that I felt like I was being torn apart, and my feet were gradually feeling numb.

At long last, I saw my little angel.

"James!"

James' head was covered by a black cloth, and a man was holding him as he struggled feebly in midair.

Rita stared at me, wearing an obscene smile. She then turned to the man holding James.

The man immediately understood her point, and he hanged James out of the window with his hand.

Desperately, I tried to run towards my child. But sadly, the severe pain from my ankle made me fall to the ground heavily.

"No!"

I gasped for air as tears streamed down my face. Then, I struggled to reach James, but Rita trampled me underfoot.

"How does it feel, Scarlett? Are you scared?"

As she stepped on my chin, I saw how twisted and insane she had become.

"Rita, you're a fucking psychopath! If you're angry at me, then deal with me! Let James go. He's innocent!"

Rita slammed my head against the ground. Because of all the blood and the fact that I was in pain, I couldn't see anything. Beads of sweat rolled down my forehead as I bit my lip tightly, trying not to shriek from the pain.

"Innocent? He is not innocent. He is a fucking bastard! You and Charles gave birth to him, but he shouldn't have survived!"

Rita trampled on my face even more aggressively. I was biting on my pale lips so hard that they started bleeding, and I did my best not to give out.

"Scarlett, you ruined my path to happiness, so I'm going to ruin your life, too!"

I was far too weak to argue with her now. All I wanted at the moment was for my baby to be safe.

"What can I do to convince you to let James go? Please, I'll do anything!" I pleaded.

A sinister smile appeared on Rita's lips. "Are you sure about that?"

Blood, sweat and tears blurred my vision. As I stared at the man holding James out of the window, I knew that I had no other choice.

"As long as you let James go, I'll do as you say." I closed my eyes, accepting that this was my fate.

Rita looked down at me with a devilish grin on her face.

"I want you to announce to the whole world that you've never loved Charles, admit that you're a whore, and tell everyone that this child isn't Charles' son. So, what do you say?"

"I'll do it!" I shouted through gritted teeth.

Rita shot me a look as if to tell me that I was the one who "asked for it".

I could see the malice in her eyes, and it gave me a bad feeling.

"You! Come here."

Rita pointed at the man who hit me on the shoulder.

"Lion, I order you to fuck that woman!"

All of a sudden, I raised my head, staring at Rita in disbelief.

"What? Are you scared?" Rita scoffed at me.

She turned to look at the man who was holding James, clearly threatening me.

"No, no, no! I'll do it. Please! I'll do that right now. But you have to promise me that you'll let my baby go first."

This was my bottom line.

In order to vent my frustration, I kicked the dying Scarlett's stomach. Then, I said to the underling, "You! Come here and tie this bitch up!" Afterwards, I told the man to give me the child and then I went to the open-air balcony on the top floor.

The little boy was struggling with all his might, and I almost lost control of him.

"Don't move! If you don't stop moving, I'm going to throw you into the sea, you little bastard!"

But the child ignored my warning.

"No, Rita! Don't be impulsive. Please, stop!" Scarlett pleaded in a barely audible voice.

"You've finally learned how to beg for my mercy! But it's too late!" I sneered.

I lifted the boy up and stood at the edge of the balcony. From here, I could see the waves surging up.

"The child isn't Charles'. I've never loved Charles. So, please, let James go!" Scarlett pleaded.

"Even if I let him go, William won't show me any mercy. I've already made up my mind to die along with you. I'm going to drag you all to hell with me!"

"Rita, calm down. Put James down!" It was Charles.

When I turned around, I saw that William and Charles were already here. They were fighting against my men, and it seemed like my men were no match for them.

What pissed me off the most was that useless idiot, Lion. He let go of Scarlett and ran away at the first sign of trouble.

Since I no longer held Scarlett hostage, I had to use the boy to my advantage.

"Save James! Save him!"

Scarlett pleaded while she was in Charles' arms.

He then looked me in the eye. His firm gaze made me feel like I was being pulled into the depths of the abyss.

"You're finally here, Charles."

The moment I saw him, my heart melted. While I was entranced by his beauty, I loosened my grip on the boy.

All of a sudden, the little boy fell down into the dark sea.
