Chapter 2 You’re So Cruel, Samuel Green

“Go back first, Nicole. I’ll talk to you about this afterwards.” Samuel hung up the call and wrinkled his eyebrows. It was obvious he was worried and anxious, yet he never had those emotions for her who was his wife. Nicole pushed him away coldly. “Go mind your business, after all she’s more important to you,” she said. But her heart was bleeding.

Samuel wanted to say something more, but he did not do so in the end. He stopped a taxi, watched her entering it and left in a hurry. Nicole inevitably let out a wry smile. To be with a man whose heart was always with somebody else, what was the point to sustain this kind of marriage any longer?

After reaching home, the housemaids greeted her but she seemed to not notice them at all. She looked at the bedroom with black and white color tone which she didn’t like and suddenly felt that her existence resembled a clown and her marriage was no less than a farce which was really going to come to its end now.

Nicole waited for Samuel for the whole night. Yet he did not make a call to her even once and his apathy stabbed right into her heart like needles. “I’m sorry, honey. Mommy won’t be able to give you a complete home. But don’t worry, mommy would give you tons of love.” Tears crawled over her face and she signed on the divorce agreement which she had printed out. Every stroke seemed to scratch her heart and make her bleed.

After finishing signing, she then pulled off the wedding ring Samuel gave her and put it on top of the agreement. She used to treat it like a treasure and after the three-year time, the ring had left a trace on her finger. As she took it off, the trace was still there, just like the trace of her love towards him that could not be erased. Nicole felt that she was behaving like a loser. Afraid that she would change her mind, she made up her mind and took her luggage, leaving the house.

“Missus, Mr. Green is staying with Miss George because Miss George has poor health. Mr. Green orders us to send you abroad and we have to depart now.” The moment Nicole stepped out of the house, she saw Samuel’s bodyguard blocking her way, and his words made her anger rise. “Why should I go abroad? I refuse!”

“Sorry Missus, Mr. Green says it’s not up to you to decide!” As he finished, he moved forward and landed a chop on her neck. He dragged her straight into the car when she fainted away. She was brought to a deserted warehouse and her clothes were all taken off. A man lied beside her and caressed her body while someone snapped photos of them with every embarrassing poses.

“Miss George, it’s all done.” The person made a phone call to Riley right after finishing taking the photos. Riley sneered. “Good. Upload the photos to the net afterwards, I doubt Samuel would want a woman who’s cuckolded him to be his wife. Do not leave any trace after getting out.”

“Roger.” After hanging up the call, the man poured gasoline around the warehouse and lighted it. The burning flame immediately grew and the surrounding temperature was hot and suffocating. When Nicole finally regained her consciousness, the fire was already everywhere around her. The thick smoke choked her and she was unable to open her mouth and the licking flame was approaching her mercilessly.

“Help! Somebody help!” Without caring that she was naked, she whirled a stick placed at the side and hit the door with it, yet she heard the bodyguard’s voice from the outside. “I’m sorry, Missus. It’s all Mr. Green’s order. Do go to the afterworld in peace, Mr. Green will pick a nice grave for you.”

Nicole froze in deep shock. Samuel Green wanted her to die? Why? Was it just because she had gotten pregnant as the same time as Riley? Was it just because he wanted to make Riley his official wife so that their child could be born reasonably? You are cruel, Samuel Green! You actually wanted to get rid of your own child?

Nicole howled in grief and despair. “Samuel Green, I hate you! I’ve been blind enough to fall in love with such a cold-blooded man like you. If I have a next life, I’ll definitely let you experience the feeling of being killed by your own loved one!” The raging fire engulfed her words. She felt difficult to breathe and her eyelids felt heavy. She could no longer endure it anymore and collapsed onto the ground, letting the fire burn her skin and engulf her soul…

Five years later. Samuel’s assistant Jacob was handing a document towards Samuel. “Mr. Green, this is the designer’s information sent by the H`J Group from USA. It’s said the designer would arrive at the Seapolis City today, should we send someone to fetch her? I heard that the designer is very famous overseas and the sports cars she designs are hard to get even with money. If not for our collaboration with the H`J Group this time, they won’t let the designer come here as an instructor.”

“Catherine?” Samuel narrowed his eyes. “Yes, it’s Catherine the designer.” Jacob nodded. Designer Catherine was a sports car designer that only went famous from the last two years. It was said that the first sports car style she designed - the Wings of Love - had won the first prize in an international design competition at one go. Although the sports car had not been released into the market yet, many people of wealth and fame had begun competing for it. It was also said that Catherine only manufactured two of the sports car, and the price was beyond exorbitant. Yet there were still tons of people pleading to buy the car with cash in their hands.

Now that Catherine had come to the Seapolis City due to their collaboration with the H`J Group, and Samuel also loved sports car, Jacob then reminded him the benefit of keeping Catherine in the Eternal Group euphemistically. Samuel narrowed his eyes once again. He took over the document and glimpsed at Catherine’s information, but was startled when he saw Catherine’s real name.
