âMiyamoto, you said that you would love me forever, you lied! You said that you would pamper me forever! You liar, you bastard, you asshole. You said that you would love me no matter what I did. I want you to tell me that you love me now! Continue loving me! I want your love!â
âBut... Iâm tired!â said Miyamoto in a deep voice. He grimaced, âEveryone has a limit!â
Renee overheard their conversation from outside of the house, she suddenly clenched her fist tightly.
She thought about her past love. People like Pippa were just using Miyamotoâs feelings towards her. She took it for granted but couldnât accept it when he didnât love her anymore. She was beyond cure. She probably never loved Miyamoto. She just got lost! She always asked for what she did not have!
Love was like a sickness; everyone would fall in love sooner or later. Some fell deeply in love, some just a little. But the only cure would be your heart, and you should control your heart and choose someone you really loved.
Never be too intoxicated when in love just to only be in pain when falling out of love. Why couldnât everyone listen to their heart?
But then again, who could really see through their heart?
And so what if one managed to see through their heart, they still had to learn to control it. They had to learn how to choose the right person to fall in love with.
Then they were destined to bet everything on it! Betraying people close to you just for love, was it worth it?
âBut you said you love me, you said that you will love me forever... Miyamoto, why did you stop loving me? Why?â Pippa yelled hysterically.
Renee lowered her head and stared at her feet.
âI donât care, you have to love me as always, as always...â Renee saw Pippa leaping into Miyamoto's arms, and Pippa started to bawl.
âPippa...â He couldnât comfort her, even when she was crying, he couldnât find the strength to comfort her anymore.
âStay strong.â He smiled sorrowfully.
Miyamoto... His heart was already cold.
And a cold heart that couldnât beat again for her anymore.
Renee quietly looked at them as they were hugging each other. They would be a perfect couple if Pippa never hurt Miyamoto!
She sighed and said, âMiyamoto, maybe only you can cure her right now!â
Miyamoto turned his head abruptly and saw Renee. His hand which was on Pippaâs back trembled and he wanted to move it away. But then Renee said, âComfort her properly!â
And then she smiled brightly at him, âWith reasons and sentiments, thatâs how you should do it, right?â
She stared at Miyamoto for a long while, and then she turned around and left.
âRenee...â Miyamoto growled.
âIâll wait for you outside! Let her calm down first!â said Renee as she walked away faster and faster.
But how could she wait for him? He had to be in a difficult situation right now!
Renee ran away!
When she walked out, she saw Vincentâs car in the courtyard. Vincent and Leila were embracing each other. She then turned around and looked at the hospital and the wardrooms and looked at the car again. In the end, she decided to walk up to the car. She knocked on the car window.
Vincent and Leila let each other go when they realized Renee was there. Renee smiled brightly, âHey! Iâm sorry to interrupt you guys!â
âGet on, Renee!â said Leila.
âNo need. Vincent, leave everything to Miyamoto. You should send Leila home right now. Remember to call the police and you can discuss with Miyamoto later about how you want this to be settled. Leila needs to be comforted and youâre just wasting time loitering around here! Erm! No! You guys need to comfort each other!â Renee smiled heartily.
âHow about you?â Leila asked.
âMe? Iâll wait for Miyamoto! Donât worry!â Renee smiled again.
âOkay! Then weâll take our leave!â Vincent nodded.
âGo ahead!â Renee nodded repeatedly.
The Bugatti drove away. Renee stopped smiling the moment the car wasnât in her sight anymore. She turned her head and took large strides towards the main road where the taxis were parked. She got into one of them and said to the driver, âTo the Pearl Community!â
On the way home, Leila was very quiet.
Vincent said with his gruff voice, âLeila, donât worry. I will make her go to jail to ensure that she will never hurt anyone again.â
Vincent was wearing a black suit and it suited his cold and indifferent expressions. His dim eyes seemed to be tired and helpless. If it wasnât for Leila, he might already kill Pippa.
âDo you know that you almost committed murder?â Leila was still in shock, she shivered just thinking about how Vincent almost killed Pippa and might be sentenced to death, âSince when are you so irrational?â
The car stopped and the veins on Vincentâs hands which were holding the steering wheel were popping. He turned around abruptly and stared at Leilaâs face, he looked wrong, âBut she hurt you! I wonât allow that! I wanted to kill her!â
âBut Iâm fine,â said Leila calmly. She was still feeling down, but she looked tremendously calm right now, âYou were so irrational! How could you act like that?â
âLeila...â Vincent yanked her close to him, âI know that I was acting irrationally, and I admit that I really wanted to kill her. But I just canât let her harm you! I was going crazy just thinking about how she was going to harm you!â
He thought about the day when Leila got hit by the car. He wished that he was the one being hit instead.
âI was wrong again and again, and I hurt you again and again!â Vincent sounded tired, âI shouldâve died!â
Leilaâs face blanched, she couldnât keep her limbs together and frigidness was seeping throughout her body. She felt like she was in a snowstorm just because of what he said. She couldnât breathe properly, and she felt like her chest was being torn apart by an invisible hand. Blood, bones, and flesh were spurting everywhere, and the pain was indescribable, âYou, you, how could you say that? Do you want to abandon me? Do you want me to be alone forever?â
âNo.â Vincent felt Leilaâs body tensed up. He grabbed her bony chin with his large palm and kissed her on her pale lips.
âI couldnât bear to do that.â He then hugged her thin body with both arms and comforted her quietly. He had a complicated look in his profound eyes as he stared at her, âI wouldnât want to do that! But Iâm afraid of you getting mad at me. Iâm afraid that youâll blame me. Thatâs how selfish I am. And you will forgive me no matter what!â
âBut is it worth it to risk your life for something like that?â Leila put her head against Vincentâs broad chest softly, âHave you ever think about what will happen to me if you die?â
Vincent clenched his fist and stared at Leila intensely. His feelings right now were ineffable, and his cold face was filled with agony, âLeila?â
âI want you by my side, forever and ever. Otherwise, I will suffer for as long as I live! You promised me, right?â
âBut what about Pippa?â
âWeâll forgive her! No use crying over spilled milk. So, what if she goes to jail? Whatâs more, from the way she is, Iâm afraid that sheâs not recovered yet. You guys say that sheâs well again, but I am unsure about that! Maybe she really didnât do it on purpose, even though what she did is inexcusable!â
âLeila, she did it on purpose. Donât be so soft-hearted. Iâm going to sue her, if I cannot kill her, I want to at least throw her in jail for many years! We cannot let her do whatever she wants anymore!â
Leila thought about how gentle he was towards Pippa back then and now he was just cold and heartless towards her. She felt perplexed, âVincent, are all the men this heartless?â
âWhat?â For a moment, Vincent was confused.
Leila scooted back to her seat and said calmly, âI saw how deeply in love Miyamoto was with Pippa back then. I saw him carrying her without slippers on to the hospital when she tried to kill herself last time. That wasnât just on a whim, only a person who harbored deep feelings towards another would do something like that. After that, he married Renee, and I knew that he really loved Renee. And you, you were so gentle towards Pippa back then as well. In a blink of an eye, youâre just merciless towards her and even want to kill her. Men are just so heartless...â
Vincent was dumbfounded and he didnât know what to say! âLeila, actually...â
He couldnât explain it well, âItâs not like that, Miyamoto is just exhausted! Heâs exhausted from being tormented by Pippa. As for me, will I still be considered as a decent human being if Iâm nice to a person who tries to harm the woman I love? Am I still a man? Do you know how plaintive a man would feel if he couldnât even protect the one he loved? Do you know how much they would blame themselves? Pippa wasnât like that before; she wasnât that extreme. But Miyamoto and I were just tricked by her appearance, we thought that she was a meek woman that needed our protection.
But we were wrong, and he realized that also. And hence he fell out of love! And me, I couldâve made her my sister and we could still have a normal relationship for as long as we lived. But she didnât appreciate it, what else could I do? I cannot let the person I love be sad! Leila, this is not about being heartless. We are just heartless towards people who are not worth fussing over. If itâs the person they love, a man wouldnât be heartless towards them. Believe me!â
âVincent!â Leilaâs emotions were surging all of a sudden and she leaped into Vincentâs arms. She was trembling as she hugged his body tightly.
Vincent hugged her back and they were hugging each other ever so tightly, âDonât lose confidence in me just because of this, okay?â
âHave more confidence in me,â said Vincent. His voice was hoarse, and it was slightly trembling.

Men are cruel, in a blink of an eye, they wouldnât care about you anymore. Iâm definitely not wrong about that and youâre the same!â
âSilly girl.â Vincent shook his head hearing her complaining, he didnât know what to do with her. Words were stuck in his throat and he could only hug her tightly again. âAre you feeling bad for Pippa or do you just hate men in general? Is it worth it to say that about men just for Pippa?â
âAre you planning to still be with me? Iâll get out of the car if you donât want to be with me anymore. Iâll go find another man. Iâm still very desirable, I can find another man after I leave you!â said Leila with a serious face as she pushed Vincent away.
âYou silly girl, donât you dare! Donât you! I wonât allow it.â He spun her so that she was facing him. He dried her tears lovingly and put her hands on his chest. His gravelly voice was filled with excitement and joy, âLeila, my heart beats for you. My life would mean nothing without you.â
