I Will Love You No More

But I just raised my eyes to look at her with no emotion.

“I hope you enjoy it, then.”

When she saw that she had failed to get a reaction out of me, Lily got angry. She glared at me. “Anna, I’m sure you don’t know this, but I’m the one who suggested to Richard to abort your baby.

“So long as Ruby is around, you will never give birth to a baby!”

Those words were the last straw.

I looked up with bloodshot eyes and grabbed the vase beside me to throw it at Lily.

Even though I did not manage to hit her, she still screamed in shock. “Ah!!!”

Richard opened the door, and Lily collapsed to the floor while crying.

The moment she saw Richard, Lily held onto his sleeve tightly. Her face was pale, and her voice was weak.

“Richard, I’m so scared. Why would Anna do this to me? I didn’t even do anything…”

Richard rushed over and pushed me aside to help Anna up.

I stumbled and fell to the floor.

The shards pierced into my palm, and tiny droplets of blood oozed out.

But Richard did not see them. Instead, his face was dark, and he was looking at me with disgust.

“Anna, are you even human?! Lily is already so weak, and you’re still hurting her?!”

Ruby rushed in to hit me too.

I struggled to my feet. I was in so much pain that I could hardly breathe.

“I hurt her? Are you blind, Richard?! Can’t you tell that she’s the one who has been hurting me?!”

“Enough! Anna, you’re just trying to ruin her reputation! I’ve never realized you were such a horrible person!”

Richard flew into a rage and grabbed another vase to throw at me.

In the next second, there was a loud crash. Blood flowed from my forehead.

Richard was stunned, and he instinctively blurted out, “Why didn’t you dodge…”

He looked sympathetic when he looked at me. Just when he was about to walk to me, Lily grabbed him.

“Richard, it hurts…” She leaned into Richard’s arms feebly as she cried.

Richard looked nervous. He did not even spare me another glance and left with Lily in a hurry.

As I watched them leave, my vision turned black, and I crashed against the floor.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying in a hospital bed.

Someone opened the door. It was Tyson, Richard’s assistant.

“Mr. Lorde wants you to go with him and Miss Xander to a church to ask a priest for a blessing. The car is already at the entrance.”

Grief flooded my heart, and I nodded while trying to hold back my tears.

This was fine. Once this entire ordeal was over, I could leave.

While we were on the way, Richard embraced Lily while I sat alone in the front passenger seat.

They were flirting with each other with such abandon that it was as if I did not exist.

I did not want to acknowledge them, so I looked outside.

Then, I heard a piercing screech.

It was followed quickly by a loud crash and the sound of glass breaking.

Before I fell unconscious, I saw Richard rushing over. “Don’t be scared, Anna. I’ll save you.”

But in the next second, when he heard Lily calling for help, he turned around to hold her instead.

“Richard… Richard…”

I called out to him and tried to reach out to stop him from leaving.

Richard heard me, but he continued holding Lily.

“Lily is covered in blood and needs to be taken to the hospital now. Wait a little longer. The paramedics will be here soon.”

I shut my eyes as tears blurred my vision.

One hour later, the people Richard sent over to the crash site did not find me, and he sent me a text.

[When you’re okay, send me a text. I can’t leave Lily right now. I’ll come visit you later.]
