Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 40 What If I Really Die

After Alwyn left, Peyton broke free from Nolan’s hands. She said faintly, “Nothing. I’m good.“.

Peyton had rested for a while, so she looked better than before. Nolan said in a low voice, “Alright, you are healthy all the time.”

Peyton sneered to herself. She didn’t bother to explain and took off his coat. “You can rest assured, Mr. Dalton. I will follow the protocol and won’t inarry other people.”

The protocol was made by Nolan. Although Nolan gave her much wealth, she was not allowed to marry others.

If she did, she would give Nolan ten times the compensation.

That would be 2,000 million dollars.

She signed the protocol without hesitation because she knew there was little time for her.

The sick from the wine lurched in her stomach. The pain tortured her. She suppressed the painful look and wanted to leave.

But her wrists were grabbed by Nolan. It was exactly the part where Alwyn touched her.

“Mr. Dalton, your fiancée is waiting for you. Do you want everyone to know I’m your ex?”

He ignored her and said, “You should clean yourself.”

Peyton was speechless.

She thought, “What’s wrong with him? We’ve already divorced. Why is he even more possessive?”

She was dragged into the elevator. Just as she was about to say something, the elevator stopped on the fifth floor and several drunk men went in.

Nolan furrowed and stepped back so that he could push her into a corner. His tall figure separated Peyton from the others.

Peyton looked at Nolan’s back, which was dressed neatly.

He was sometimes serious and sometimes crazy.

He was something of a contradiction.

Peyton felt more pain in her stomach. The pain pulled every nerve.

She wanted to find something to lean on, but she couldn’t find such a place in an elevator where there were all mirrors. She couldn’t let Nolan find out she was weak.

She was so close to Nolan’s back. In the past, she could do anything on his back, but now she couldn’t even touch it.

She counted and counted. The moments seemed very long to her.

Finally, the elevator arrived. The Dalton Group set its foot in many industries, including this hotel.

She took a glance when Nolan pressed the code. It was the same as the safe’s code. The number was about her.

Before she figured out what Nolan was doing, she was dragged into the room.

He threw his coat on the floor and took her into the bathroom.

Peyton suppressed the pain and looked at him. “Mr. Dalton, we’ve divorced. I don’t need to be loyal to you. Excuse me. I need to go.”

Nolan turned on the shower. Cold water poured down and landed right on her head.

“Nolan!”

Under the cold shower, Nolan cupped her face in his hands and looked at her in an obsessive way. “Peytie, I told you that you can’t let other people touch you. I don’t like it.”

A cold finger moved down along her face. Peyton didn’t want to argue with him. She knew he was ill.

He had three rules for Peyton when they were seeing each other. She couldn’t betray him. She couldn’t let the other touch her. And she couldn’t leave him.

She knew it all along. His crazy possessiveness could drive him to kill people who hurt her.

And he would get jealous when she fell down at the sports meeting and a male monitor carried her to the clinic.

That was the first time she got to know Nolan’s dark side. He only said “Clean yourself up” to her.

No matter how Peyton explained, he wouldn’t listen to her. She was in the cold shower for the whole night.

Although Nolan had sickness, Peyton loved him so much. She even took years off school so that people wouldn’t see her.

However, his possessiveness grew more after the divorce.

She had a stomachache. That was the side effect of the chemotherapy.

The room had no heat. With the cold water, Peyton hurt so much.

“Turn it oll, please. Nolan, I’m cold.”

Nolan pressed her against the cold wall. His smile sent chills through her body.

“Will you feel warmer if I hug you?”

“You’re crazy!”

Peyton stretched out her hand and wanted to turn it off. But Nolan. stopped her.

Grabbing her hand, Nolan raised her arm above her head, making her healthy figure more obvious.

Nolan’s white shirt was wet too. She could even see his abs.

Nolan’s body was hot and very close to Peyton’s.

The vibe in the bathroom became sexual. Nolan tilted his head and said to her ears. “You’re still my girl even after the divorce. Do you forget that?”

“Let me go. I told you there is nothing going on between Alwyn and I.” Peyton didn’t want to annoy him, so she had to explain. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

He sneered, “Then why did you move into his apartment? Do you think you can seek help from the Russell family? Why don’t we make a bet and see how many days the Russell family can survive?”

“My apartment is Alwyn’s?” But Peyton had no time to think about it.

She could only punch him with her left hand to express her anger, although the punch was nothing to Nolan.

“Nolan, it was you who cheated on me, and it was you who asked for a divorce. And it was also you who got engaged with other people. Do you understand what divorce means? You can consult your lawyer. Why can’t you just leave me alone?”

Peyton said in a broken voice. “What a tyrant you are! You have left my world, so why do you come back again and again? If you want to torture me by doing this, please kill me.”

He kissed Peyton’s lips. The shower water was mixed with his tears. Ilis voice was cold. “I’ve given you the chance. You give it up. We just separate lawfully. You have to be under my control for the rest of my life.”

Peyton remembered after she was in the cold shower, Nolan asked her if she wanted to leave him.

He was a beast. He would only hurt her if she stayed beside him. He could send her away before he could still control himself.

“Do you remember your answer? You wrapped my waist with your arms and tell me only death can do us apart and you won’t leave me alone.”

Peyton looked at his handsome face under the dim light, saying coldly, “What if I really die?”
