Love Coming from the Least Expected novel Chapter 122

I walked briskly down the hallway, receiving some odd looks from the guests gathered for tea. Ignoring them, I bumped into Zachary when I took a turn.

He noticed my bad mood and asked for the reason behind it. I simply kept my silence and ran back to my room. Once the door was shut, the dam that contains my emotions broke immediately. Despair gripped me as I wondered why in hell would they treat me this way.

The agony and anguish that I kept bottled up started to form a web around my heart. As it constricted, it stabbed into my heart, shattering it into a bloody mess.

The man that I had a crush on for ten years and the two years of marriage we shared… do they mean nothing at all?

At this point, it can’t even be considered as a joke.

To keep his promise to Crystal, he would rather touch another woman than me. He even left me in the hotel when I was drugged.

Coldness started creeping into my body. I covered myself with a blanket to ward off the chill, but I could still feel it.

My gaze dropped upon a knife. The thought of killing myself crossed my mind. Feeling dirty and disgusted by myself, I kept rubbing my arms, hoping to get the non-existent dirt off me. Will Christopher still want me if he knew I wasn’t touched by Lyle but by some random man?

The negative feelings and oppressive thoughts were taking possession of my brain. I unconsciously approached the table, picked up the knife, and placed the sharp edge over my wrist. If I slit it open, will my suffering end?

I exerted a little pressure over the knife, feeling the sharpness and coldness biting into my wrist. Just a bit more pressure and blood would spill.

Now that I think back, my whole life was depressing. My mother abandoned me, and my father never loved me. And after all the bullying and humiliation I’ve been through, I found out that the only person who had treated me well was merely using me. Now, I’m even getting my dignity trampled by a pair of adulterers. Why am I even alive?

“What are you doing?” A hand seized the knife.
