Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 532 I Only Did It For You (Part Two)

With a sigh, Brian said, "Becky, I admit that I once loved you." Pausing, he shook his head. "No, maybe it was not love that I felt. I was confused about what true love was." He found it difficult to analyze his feelings. "However, Molly is different. I want her with me wherever I go, and regardless if I'm dead or alive. Can you understand that?"

"No, I can't!" Becky shouted. The tears she held back started to pool in her eyes and threatened to fall. "Molly doesn't love you. But you're so hopelessly in love with her," Becky said bitterly. "I've always made it plain to you how much I love you, but all you can say in return is that what you feel for me is confusion. That is so unfair, Brian!" Becky cried out.

"Love is never fair," Brian murmured. He lowered his head, trying not to feel guilty about turning Becky's affections away. He managed a mocking smile before speaking again. "If love is fair, then why should the relationship between Molly and me be so complicated because of so many unexpected things? Becky, you didn't understand it before, and neither did I," he said bleakly.

Brian watched Becky's tears cascade down her chin, and he reached out a hand to wipe them away. With a hint of sadness, he said, "Becky, I don't want you to hate her because of me. Promise me that you won't hurt her anymore, otherwise…" He stopped talking as his hand froze while on her face. "I don't want to hurt you because of her, but I will if I am provoked."

His threat made her eyelids flutter. From across the table, she felt the cruelty Brian gave off which only proved he was serious. Becky also noted the cold gleam in his half-closed eyes.

Withdrawing his hand, Brian leaned forward and lightly kissed Becky's forehead. At the same time, he spoke faintly into her ears, "You should know that I meant every word I said to you."

That said, he pulled away from Becky. Brian stood up, turned around and left without another word.

Becky froze in her seat. She no longer tried to stop her tears from falling as she watched Brian walking away. Somehow, she knew that this time, it was finally over between her and Brian, and she would never have a chance to win his heart back. It was a surprise how quickly he figured out that Becky was behind the demolition job against Molly. He not only came to denounce her actions but also to announce the end of their relationship mercilessly.

"No!!!" Becky suddenly screamed in anger and despair.

Crazily, she swept the tea set on the table with her hands, and they all crashed to the floor. All the customers in the garden looked in her direction, curious about her outburst, but Becky didn't care what they thought about her.

In her mind, she continued to scream. 'Ruby! You're nothing more than a slut borne by your bitch mother! How the hell did you win Brian's love? YOU DO NOT DESERVE HIM!'

Brian stopped in his tracks when he heard the sound of shattering porcelain. He turned to look and met Becky's mournful eyes. Tightening his lips, his expression blank, he headed downstairs.

Bitterly, he thought, 'Becky, this is my final warning to you. Don't force me to lay hands on you! The moment I decided to let you have Molly's retinas, I stopped loving you. I did it out of a sense of guilt, and I wasn't even able to explain my motives to Molly when she misunderstood why I had done that for you. I did it so you could keep your dignity and self-respect. But it didn't mean that I gave my permission to hurt Molly!'

Tony started the car as soon as Brian got in. His boss commanded, "Take me back to the villa." There was silence inside the car. Finally, Brian spoke up. "When Harrow returns, tell him to persuade Spark to leave if he doesn't want him to get hurt."

Looking at his boss from the rearview mirror, Tony nodded.

The car pulled out of the hotel driveway and headed to the villa. Brian looked out the window with his face propped up by a hand, as his elbow leaned against the armrest. He sat quietly listening to the sound of rain, the rhythm relaxing his mind.

Earlier that day, he felt strangely happy after receiving Molly's call. Although she had thrown a tantrum and sobbed while speaking, it was satisfying that she turned to him instead of wallowing in distress alone after what had happened.

A soft smile slowly spread on his face, and he lowered his head to hide the joy that lit his eyes from Tony.

Happily, he told himself, 'Although the call was due to bad news, she did share her feelings with me. Could it be the start of something good?' he wondered.

At that exact moment, the atmosphere in Brian's villa was quite intense. Molly, eyes red, was glaring at Eric in disdain. She was infuriated by his calm and leisurely manner.

"Will you stop looking at me with such resentment!" Eric admonished her with a raised eyebrow. Teasingly, he smirked and then leaned his body against Molly. With eager eyes, he whispered intimately into her ear, "Little Molly, is that pretty head of yours filled with doubts about Brian's action now?"

Flustered, she hissed, "No, it's not!" But Eric's advances made her uncomfortable. Agitated now, she pushed Eric away.

He quickly masked the sadness that flashed through his eyes and instead put on a cunning smile. Curling his lips, Eric shrugged as he said, "You don't have to be so stubborn."
