Sextuplets From Ruthless Love novel Chapter 26

"Stop it. Stop it," Jessica continued pleading and muttering in a daze, still crouched on the ground.

Just stop it all. Whether it is the buzzing in my ears or Trevor's questions. Leave me alone, Jessica thought miserably.

All she wanted to do was to live. Once upon a time, she was Horington's top socialite. Now, the

only thing she wanted was to keep living. Was it that hard for others to let her do that?

"Jessica, what's the matter?"

A pair of hands held her shoulders and gently pushed her.

Jessica lifted her head in response. When she saw the man's face in front of her, she found herself traveling back to five years ago to the moment when the man said that he was sending her back to the warzone.

Thump!

Her legs gave out on her, and she fell to her knees.

Then, she prostrated before Trevor and cried out, "Mr.

Gulliford, please have mercy. I'm already in this state. Please just let me go. I know I've done wrong now."

As she kept her forehead touching the floor, her throat tightened. Her tear ducts itched, but still, no tears came out.

Before she fell in love with him, she was a distinguished socialite who never needed to do anything by herself.

After falling for him, she had ended up in this state.

If falling in love with him is my mistake, I'll correct it. I'll change my ways. Is that not enough? God, I've changed my ways for five years! Is that still not enough? she shrieked inwardly.

Trevor froze when he saw the woman go on her knees before him. Five years ago, Jessica would not have lowered herself that much.

"Why?" he wondered.

It was nothing unusual for her to do that, for she had killed someone. Yet, Trevor found the air thinning around him as he watched her.

"I told you that I'll let you go once you get 750 thousand dollars."

With that, he turned and walked off. Once the door was closed behind him, his hands clenched into fists.
