The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 208

Treyton began crying at the sight of her tears, and he pulled her closer to his chest.

“Calm down, Kiddo. This isn’t your fault. Don’t blame yourself for everything. You never knew what was happening. If you keep tormenting yourself in this way, you’re going to be overwhelmed.”

Even though he said that, Gwendolyn merely grabbed his sleeve as the thoughts of the nightmare she had had before the day of the incident flashed past her mind.

In her dream, Maverick was covered in blood as he kneeled in the fire in devastation.

She could not register any of Treyton’s words as tears flowed uncontrollably.

“Treyton, I had always thought that he was trying to kill me, so I was fine with hating and tormenting him. I wouldn’t listen to any explanations he tried to give me. The pain he dealt me in the past was isolation and mockery, but all the pain I gave him was physical. This is my fault. I killed him. It was me…”

Treyton cupped her tear-streaked face and whispered gently in her ear, again and again, “No, it isn’t, Kiddo. You haven’t done anything wrong. You didn’t kill him. This was his choice. He’s gone, but you’re still alive, so don’t hurt yourself in this way anymore.”

“But, Treyton…”

At that, Gwendolyn buried herself in Treyton’s arms and sobbed.

“I wanted to numb myself, so I drank so much to try to forget these things. I tried to get my rationality back, but I can’t do it. The more I drink, the soberer I become. The image of him bleeding is just seared into my mind. Treyton, I… I…”

Suddenly, her breathing quickened, and her world dimmed. She passed out.

“Kiddo!”

Frightened, Treyton hastily told Elven to look for a doctor before taking her out of the bathroom to a room on the third floor.

As they were all men, they could not change Gwendolyn and clean her up. Hence, Treyton asked Elven to bring Flora to Bay Villa.
