Chapter 1837
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
Chapter 1837 What A Coward
I glanced at the phone in puzzlement before I realized that Ramona wanted me to watch the video she
brought up on the screen. Thus, I picked up the phone and tapped on the play button.
As soon as the video played, the scene of Nathaniel collapsing onto the ground after Garrett hit him
with a golf club appeared after a brief delay.
Besides the obvious spots such as his face and head, he also suffered several blows on his body.
There was even some conversation in between, but there was no voice, so I had no idea what was
said. However, he seemed adamant about something, so Garrett hit him increasingly harder. In the
end, the man only stopped when the club was bent.
The video came to an abrupt end, leaving the scene of him lifting his hand to wipe the blood from the
corner of his mouth.
Undeniably, I took pleasure watching it.
âDo you also reveal your thoughts so blatantly before Nat?â Ramonaâs voice was chilly to the core, very
much aggressive.
âWhat do you mean?â I feigned ignorance.
âI meant your thoughts of wanting to see him dead and end him with your own hands.â Ramona
appeared remarkably calm, seemingly long since used to seeing entangled relationships.
Sure enough, women understand women best! Since weâre both intelligent people, thereâs no need to
beat around the bush anymore.
Therefore, I admitted frankly, âOf course. Heâs well aware that Iâm thinking of ways to kill you every
second of every day.â
Ramona narrowed her eyes, a hint of amusement showing in her alluring gaze. âYouâre painfully
honest.â
I merely shrugged. âIf you were in my shoes, and someone hurt your family, persecuted your lover, and
coerced you into doing something against your will, I think youâd also make the same choice.â
Hearing that, Ramona tilted her head. âIâm an orphan, so I donât understand those feelings, nor am I
interested in doing so.â
âOkay, no offense.â We were strangers, so I could only think of a reason she came to seek me out after
racking my head for a long while. âSo, you want me to persuade him to not go against Mr. Jensen?â
âWould you do that? Youâll only push him into the line of fire.â Derision was written all over Ramonaâs
face.
It seems that she has investigated me, so I canât fool her.
I was stunned for a moment. Only when I glimpsed the corpses at the door from my peripheral vision
did understanding abruptly dawn upon me that she was here to kill me.
Sheâll only need to eliminate Nathanielâs men if she wants to kill me. After all, she knows full well that
he ordered them to keep me safe, so theyâll undoubtedly stop her. For that reason, she made the first
move. Sheâs really decisive and ruthless, so itâs no wonder that sheâs able to sit at the table mostly
occupied by men! In the face of such a person, playing tricks is useless. But I canât die yet. I havenât
avenged Rose or brought Nathaniel down!
After mulling it over, I concluded that the only way out was to make a fuss out of her feelings for
Nathaniel.
âThen, I know the purpose of your visit.â Taking a deep breath, I composed myself. I deliberately
guffawed and feigned a relaxed look, lounging back against the couch. âThatâs great! I can finally be
free instead of being tortured every day!â
Stretching, I picked up the gun on the table and handed it to her. With a smile on my face, I urged, âGo
on and make your move. Set me free.â
As expected, Ramona was suspicious of my unexpected reaction. Her brows furrowed, and she parted
her dark lips. âAre you not afraid of death?â
I nodded in response. âNope! Didnât Nathaniel tell you that I didnât want to live anyway? When Ashton
broke things off completely with me, I should have died in that car crash. However, he saved me. Itâs
good that youâre here now. With you doing me this favor, I donât need to live in agony anymore.â
I thought Ramona would continue picking up where I left off, but she took the gun from me under my
watchful gaze and pointed the barrel right at me.
She leaned forward, putting all her weight on her elbows that were propped against her knees. Then,
she rolled her neck. Roaming her gaze all over my face, she whispered, âWhat a coward.â After saying
that, she raised the gun and got to her feet, aiming it at my forehead.
âDonât worry. My bullet travels fast, so you wonât feel any pain.â
