Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 218

Neil was, of course, a total control freak. I’ve always known that. But he couldn’t just run my life!

So, when he doesn’t love me, I should just stay away from him, and when he does, I should immediately play along?

“I thought you’ve changed.” I was really disappointed. “But it turns out, my resentment towards you and my suffering mean less to you than your control freak tendencies”

Neil’s eyes flickered, but he didn’t say anything.

What a joke. With all the chaos at home, he was still trying to push me around.

“I won’t back down, Neil. If you think I don’t have it bad enough, feel free to keep tormenting me. For instance, you could’ve refused to help me with the SaintlyBio Corporation mess and left me to deal with it myself. That should satisfy your sick mind.” I looked up, speaking calmly.

Neil gritted his teeth, “Sick mind? Is my inability to let you go also a sign of my sick mind?”

“But I’ve let you go. I’m not your property, you can’t just have me when you want me and discard me when you don’t. Neil, can you respect me a little? Is it because I used to be blindly infatuated with you, so you’re used to seeing me without any dignity?” I asked, feeling a bit bitter.

Once, I was like a satellite, revolving around Neil on the orbit he set, with no sense of self.

But that was by choice. I didn’t blame anyone.

Neil seemed frustrated by my words. He looked down at my hand and said. “Let go. We shouldn’t be talking through a door,”

I didn’t want him to force me to let go, so I let go first. With the door open, we faced each other.

“I know I messed up before. I can apologize a thousand times, ten thousand times, but all I want is a chance to make amends.” Neil’s expression softened a bit when he saw me let go.

“That’s all in the past; can we not bring it up? I already have a boyfriend.” I felt drained.

Neil’s expression changed instantly. His somewhat relaxed face turned tense again upon hearing my words.

I asked him, “What about Bonnie? Scarlett? One was your fiancée, and the other was your rumored girlfriend. Have you ever thought about their feelings?” “No.” Neil’s answer was firm, without any hesitation, even though both women loved him.

A long time ago, Stella warned me: never expect any decency from Neil.
