Love You Can’t Say

“My death could be the only way to stop you from pestering, right?” I said while looking at the flickering streetlight in distance. Something pessimistic started to crawl on my heart.

He let out a spooky smile, “I won’t let it happen. I can’t live for the rest of my life without you.”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

I remained silent.

I knew fear didn’t work. My life still needed to go on.

“Just leave Dennis! We can live a happy life together just like when we were kids. Dennis doesn’t deserve your love!”

I lowered my head and smiled. How hilarious! When everybody insisted that I didn’t deserve Dennis’s love, only Leo perceived something opposite.

“There is no way turning back. Grandma had gone and so did the mulberry tree in front of the door. Leo, just leave me alone and stop ruining my life, okay?” though I knew it wouldn’t work, I still told him my wish.

He still stared at the dark sky. His eyes turned to be blurred but still dark. After quite a while, he finally uttered, “I have tried so. But it didn’t work!”

‘Forget about it!’ I was a bit tired of this lame talk. I stood up and looked at him, “Drive me home.”

Now I figured it out-he didn’t intend to hurt me this time. Otherwise, he wouldn’t spend so much effort taking me here. He just fancied seeing my helpless eyes soaked in horror. As a predator, he only wanted a prey to kill time.

So I was sure he wouldn’t do anything harmful to me by now.

He sent me back to H Villas. After he parked the car, he locked the door again and fixed his eyes on me, “What about a night kiss?”

“Huh, don’t ever think about it!” I said with indifference while looking at him.

His desire for control seemed to surge up. He furrowed his brows, leaned against the seat and looked at me from above domineeringly, “Tell me! What if Dennis sees you staying in the car for long?”

But then he nodded and continued, “Well, but now he must be tending his beloved lady in the hospital, I reckon. So he might not have time to care about you.”

While speaking, he approached. But the clear smell of tobacco from his body displeased me.

“Leo, don’t you think my death will be a relief for you?”

He huffed seriously, “How dare you!”

Though it wasn’t the right time for me to test if it mattered to him, I would still deem it worthy if my death could put an end to this devil.

But suddenly, a beam of light came inside the yard. It was the headlight of a car. I raised up my head to look outside and saw that it was Dennis’s jeep.

Then I noticed that it was already at midnight. I didn’t even expect him to return home.

Leo’s car was eye-catching enough for Dennis to notice as soon as he drove into the yard. But he didn’t get off. Instead, he lit up a cigarette and stayed in the car to watch both of us.

Leo had been a troublemaker though he always behaved like a gentleman in public. As he noticed that Dennis still stayed in the car, he inclined himself towards me with a snicker, “What if he see me kissing you?”

“Are you out of your mind?” I nudged to get away from him. However, the space in the car was too limited.

He nudged forward and dropped a kiss on my lips. Then he smiled at Dennis, looking nasty.

“Leo, are you crazy?”

“You are right!” he nodded. But then Dennis had got off his car.

I frowned and looked at Leo, “Open the door!”

He raised his brows and simply ignored me. We saw Dennis got off and entered the villa. Then he smiled at me, “See? Clara, he doesn’t even love you. That was why he didn’t even care the kiss.”

Leo was really talented in smashing one’s hope. But I sneered, “So what? It has nothing to do with you! Let me off…”

However, a bang of loud noise sounded and then the window of Leo’s car was smashed.

I was stunned when looking at Dennis, who was standing beside the car with coldness and rage shown in his eyes. That was truth-everyone had a dark side.

No matter how decent and refined both of them showed from the façade, they were both dirty from the inside.

The principle applied to the three of us

There was also a bloodthirsty evil lurking inside Dennis.

He was holding a sledge, which belonged to the worker who came to fix rockery in the yard few days ago. He simply sledged the window. Undoubtedly, it failed to withstand such a strong hit.

He squinted and looked at the window. Then Dennis reached his hand inside to open the door.

As soon as the door was unlocked, I got off the car but still remained unspoken. I just watched this neck-and-neck rivalry.

Leo squinted. Though he still sat on the seat, he still looked threatening, “You want a fight?”

Fist fight had been a traditional way to solve dispute between men. Only the fist could convince each other.

Dennis looked serious while slightly moving his thin lips, “Of course!”

The loud smash of window woke Nanny Daisy up, who lived outside the villa. She turned on all lights in the yard and hurried over.

She was stunned when seeing Dennis and me and also Leo-a stranger to her. She asked worriedly, “Sir, shall we call 911?”

Dennis took off his tailor-made suit jacket. He huffed with determined dark eyes, “No! Go to get a chair for her. I need her to sit and watch.”

I was speechless.

Nanny Daisy nodded and hurried inside the villa.

I frowned and looked at Dennis, displeased, “I don’t want to watch the fight. It’s too violent for the baby. Watch yourself. Don’t get hurt. I will wait for you inside.”

Perhaps what I said worked. Dennis seemed to relax a bit. He smiled and looked at me, “Okay, just get in and wait for me.”

“Fuck!” Leo cursed nastily as he had always done. But he seemed to be irritated out of no reason. Then he punched at Dennis.

The fight started.

I didn’t intend to stay. So I simply ignored the noise behind.

As I entered the parlor, Nanny Daisy asked nervously, “What’s going on?”

“Nothing!” I shook my head. But now I was starving because I didn’t have much food during the banquet. I looked at Nanny Daisy, “Is there anything else to eat?”

“Yes…” she ran to the kitchen while saying. Then she came out with a pot of stewed chicken and a plate of braised egg.

I was quite surprised while looking at her, “Nanny Daisy, now it’s over midnight. How did you…”

I was really amazed when seeing the steaming hot food.

She smiled, “Mr. George called me to prepare it for you. He said you barely had food during the banquet. So you will be starving when you return home.”

I was stunned with mixed feelings surging up in my heart.

I couldn’t tell he only cared about the baby or me.

Then there came groan outside the villa. Nanny Daisy got me a bowl of rice and asked worriedly, “Shall we call the police?”

I shook my head and kept chewing, “No!”

I knew they were equally powerful. But it killed neither.

About half an hour later, the noise stopped. Then I heard the sound of engine. A few minutes later, Dennis came in.

My belly felt like being stuffed after meal. I could tell my belly bulged even larger. So I assumed I should go for a prenatal care tomorrow.
