Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett’s POV:

Charles bit my lips discontentedly, “Let go of your hand,” he said with a low and intoxicating voice. However, what I did was quite the opposite. I held his hand tighter and replied, “No.”

Helpless, Charles took a deep breath and buried his head in the crook of my neck. “Don’t you trust me?” 

His words brought me to reality and woke me up from my sexual fantasies. I stared at the ceiling and did not say a word for a long time. I felt like my heart was drifting in the endless sea, unable to get ashore.

“Scarlett? Answer my question. Are you now willing to give yourself to me?” Charles’s hands made his way up again. He kissed me on the neck, and his breathing became deep and heavy. I knew he was about to lose control of himself.

“You’ve changed,” I remarked.

Charles stopped kissing me and stared at me confusedly with his lustful eyes as if the answer was on my face.

I suppressed the overwhelming feelings in my heart and explained, “Let me remind you, Charles. You already have Rita. Stop messing with me anymore. I don’t want to be caught up in your love affair.”

“You’ve never trusted me, have you?” Charles let go of me as soon as he finished speaking. For some reason, he looked hurt. 

I straightened my clothes and looked at him seriously. “You’d better pay more attention to her. She’s pregnant and terminally ill. She needs you.” I was aware my words would do nothing but enrage him. But, I had no choice but to say it. I had to make things clear for him once and for all. 

“Is there anything else you want to say? Say it now,” Charles ordered with a sneer.

I was hesitant at first. But, I figured that this was a perfect opportunity for me to tell him what had been troubling me. “Charles, let’s divorce. Don’t delay it anymore. Let me leave with dignity.”

“Scarlett…” Charles laughed bitterly and looked at me with disappointment. “You really are heartless.”
