Love Began with the First Meeting

Hearing Brian's cruel words, Molly realized that she couldn't endure what was happening any longer.

She glared at him with fire in her eyes, feeling totally fearless.

She moved her lips in an attempt to speak, but a violent streak of pain ripped through her throat, causing her to gnash her teeth silently. She looked frustrated and utterly dejected.

Feeling inferior because of others' humiliation was nothing, but not being able to tell Brian how despicable she thought he was broke her heart.

"Demon!"

As she formed the words silently in her mouth, her eyes threw daggers at Brian. Clenching her fists at her side, she watched the storm that was now gathering in his eyes. Her anger made her forget the feeling of heartache for a while.

'Perhaps too much pain can make one numb, ' she thought wretchedly.

"Demon?" Brian's eyes narrowed as he read Molly's lips. His face looked as if it was carved in stone, his smile bone chilling. Taking one step forward, it brought him immediately close in front of Molly. Grabbing her chin, he forcefully pulled her face closer. His eyes grew cold as he felt her quiver at his touch.

"You've known me for a long time so you should know me well, right?"

His arctic voice made Molly shiver as if with cold. Her chin began to throb as Brian tightened his grip. Molly stubbornly met Brian's icy stare, not giving in an inch. It was a fierce battle of wills that kept the onlookers staring with interest.

While disdain and disgust flared in Molly's eyes, Brian responded with a ferocious stare.

"I wasn't born to be kind. Lives are two a penny in my eyes," Brian growled.

As soon as he finished speaking, Brian released Molly's chin violently. The movement sent her reeling backward, nearly falling down as she lost her footing.
