Revenge: His Love Is All Lies

They didn't know that after starving for so many days, the only reason I didn't die was because there was a force inside me that was holding me up. While Robert was asleep, Rebecca looked at me with a provocative face and said in a voice only I could hear.

“Angeline, I didn't expect you to have such luck in your life, you actually managed to come back alive. But it's not certain who will lose or win next, I managed to live in the Payne Family, so we still don't know who the real Mrs. Payne will be in the end, right?”

Rebecca's smug smile was mixed with a hint of viciousness and disgust. She had returned to Singapore half a year ago.

Before she came back, Robert's heart was all on me.

When I had a cold and fever, he would drive me to the hospital even at 3 am. When I wanted to eat pastries, Robert was worried that the ones made by others were not clean, so even if he was busy, he would come from the company to personally cook and bake for me.

I just accidentally cut my hand, Robert's eyes would turn red with heartache.

When I fainted from allergies, Robert was so scared that he called me Angel like a madman, fearing that he would lose me.

But when Rebecca came back, everything changed. He no longer called me Angel and most of the time he called me Angeline Rosendale with both my full name and surname.

The passenger seat of his Rolls Royce was no longer exclusively mine but was occupied by Rebecca for various reasons. Robert also no longer had time to cook for me and even took time for me only a few times.

Every time I went to see him, he was either accompanying Rebecca to visit Disney, eating hot pot, skiing or ice skating with her. Faced with my questioning, Robert impatiently and grumpily yelled at me every time.

“Angeline Rosendale, have you made enough of a scene or not? Rebecca is unfamiliar here. She doesn’t know anyone at all. So, what’s the problem if I can accompany her for a few more days? I have promised that I will definitely marry you in the future. Can you have a little bit of Mrs. Payne's demeanour? Please, don't embarrass yourself here.”

My thoughts gathered back to me. I just coldly looked at Robert in front of me. There wasn't a hint of sadness or even any hurt feelings, resentment. It was just like looking at a stranger. I almost forgot that after my rebirth, I had lost the ability to love people.

“Robert, can you let me sleep in this room? The lighting here is good, I like it.”

Rebecca returned to the Payne Family villa and picked my bedroom at a glance. She knew that it was filled with women's daily necessities, but she still pretended to be innocent and acted coquettishly.

“Can I have this room, please?”

Robert was just about to nod in agreement, but then he hesitated. “This is Angel's room, Rebecca. Everything here is decorated by her. It has to be done with her consent.”

He looked at me with a difficult face. Before he could say anything, I smiled and nodded. 

“Of course, you can stay in this room, Rebecca.”

Robert looked at me unexpectedly and said, “How could you say this?”

He probably couldn't figure out that I, who would usually blush at the sight of Rebecca, was like I met an enemy. ‘I know you think how could I agree so easily nowadays?’

“If Rebecca likes it, then let it go to her. I know if she's happy, you're happy, aren't you?”

Rebecca was also completely stunned and the two of them looked at me in surprise. Waiting for them to react, I used to hug the pillow and pack up my things. Then I moved to the next guest bedroom next door. 

I was so tired after these days in Antarctica. I felt I needed to have a good sleep, because when I woke up, I would figure out what I was going to do in the future. It was already dark when I woke up. When I opened my eyes, I realized there was someone beside my bed. I was just about to be alert when Robert slowly spoke out.

“Angel, why did you throw our engagement rings into the trash?”

His eyes were already red and he tried his best to suppress his voice. I was a little stunned to hear his words.
