Bye, My Irresistible Love

Rita’s POV:

“How dare you stop me?!” I bellowed while glaring at Richard. My blood was boiling in anger, but I tried my best to suppress it.

“That’s my child too. If you’re going to have an abortion, I have the right to stop you! ” Richard argued while looking at me firmly. 

“Shut up! Now that Charles knows that the baby is yours, there’s no need for me to keep it!” I turned around to leave, but Richard grabbed my arm tightly.

“Let me go!” I struggled to get out of his grasp but to no avail.

“That’s my child. You can’t abort it without my consent!” Richard insisted while looking at me coldly. It was as if he was giving an order that I could not disobey.

But I remained unfazed. I took a deep breath and, all of a sudden, kicked his crotch while he was distracted. Richard let go of me and stumbled back in pain. But by the time he let go of me, his grip had already left a bruise on my arm.

“What do you think Charles will do if he finds out that you’ve recovered?” Richard asked, half squatting on the ground. His voice trembled in pain, but the gravity of his words turned me by degrees.

I was just about to smash a vase onto his head, but his words had me frozen in the spot.

It was then that I got a hold of myself. I must admit, what Richard had said scared the shit out of me. Charles’s attitude towards me had completely changed. Had he found out about my condition? At the thought of this, I grabbed Richard’s arm and begged, “Richard, you have to help me.” 

Instead of getting angry for what I had done, Richard looked at me with a sneer. Judging from the look on his face, he would not help me. With that, I pushed him away and began to think of a plan.

“I saved Charles’s life. Yes, I saved Charles’ life.” I kept repeating this sentence. 

Not long after, my flustered heart finally calmed down, and a sneer tugged at the corners of my mouth.

Richard must have sensed what I was thinking as he bellowed, “Shame on you! Scarlett is innocent. She is the one who suffers from this mess you create!”

I was taken aback by this. Richard was supposed to be my ally, not Scarlett’s. What he had said infuriated me and made me hate her even more. 

“How dare you speak for that bitch? Do you like her too?”

She had taken Charles away from me. And now, even Richard thought highly of her. If only she had died when she was abroad, things would not have turned out this way.

“Don’t think everyone is as disgusting as you are.” Richard limped away as soon as he finished speaking.

Anger surged in my heart as I watched him walk away. 

‘‘Scarlett, since you like stealing what’s mine, don’t blame me for being rude!’’
