Chapter 20: Please Leave Me Alone
-Do you want to know why? -asked Orlando sarcastically.
-But why do I have to tell you? Vanessa, I will make you suffer hundreds and thousands of times more for the harm and humiliation you did to me! It’s the punishment you deserve!
-But tell me, what have I done to you?
Vanessa just wanted to know the truth, to know the reason for this inexplicable betrayal, to know why she had been hated and humiliated in such a cruel way. Even if they wanted to condemn her to death, they would have to tell her what crime she had committed, wouldn’t they?Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
-I won’t tell you. Vanessa, I hate you so much that I want to kill you, but I won’t, because I want you to suffer living as my wife and knowing that I will never love you!
Orlando looked at Vanessa coldly, lit a cigarette, contemplating indolently how pained and angry she was.
Orlando’s cruelty extinguished the last flame of love Vanessa had for him. She tried to calm herself and looked resolutely at Orlando.
-Whatever, I don’t really care any more. Orlando, if this is what you want, then leave it at that.
Since Orlando had blamed her, they could no longer go back to the past. Whether it was a misunderstanding or an incrimination, Vanessa realised how weak her relationship with Orlando had been.
Suddenly, Orlando was frightened by Vanessa’s calmness, causing him to drop his cigarette.
Like an irritated lion, he approached him and fiercely raised his chin.
-What do you mean by this? -Orlando asked angrily.
-I don’t care about you any more,” Vanessa replied calmly.
-That you don’t care about me anymore? Damn it, I won’t let you! You have to beg me not to be seduced by Melina, beg me to come back to your side and tell you why I hate you.
-It is no longer necessary.
-How? -Orlando growled furiously. You must beg me, you must feel pain and despair. I hate it when you put on that calm face! You must beg me like a miserable streetwalker! You owe me, Vanessa!
Vanessa looked coldly at this crazy person, no longer the person she had loved.
-Okay, I beg you,” said Vanessa with a charming smile, as it was easy for her to do so.
-Orlando, please leave me alone.
-Orlando, please leave me alone.
-Orlando, please leave me alone.

She repeated it coldly like a robot and Orlando became even more enraged, so that he squeezed her neck savagely.
-Damn it, I don’t want to hear that plea. Shut up, shut up!
-Orlando, please… please leave me… in… peace.
-Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
Orlando looked like a madman and was exerting more and more force on her neck. As a result, Vanessa felt more and more suffocated, but at the same time she was smiling with great satisfaction.
With a bang, the door was kicked open from outside the bedroom.
Then, a robust, shadowy figure entered, who irrationally grabbed Orlando’s neck and pulled him back as he saw Vanessa choking.
-What are you doing?
