281 Complicated love
She had seen him a couple of times, gazing at other girls he found interest in but because he was
afraid of hurting her, he wouldn’t pursue his heart’s desire.
She knew he tried to make it work, he fought against himself so many times but what can the body do
when the heart has other plans?
So he stayed in the relationship without loving her and also not betraying or humiliating her by cheating
on her.
Beverly thought she was selfish when she didn’t let him go even though she saw he was hurting, she
felt she was the only one receiving in this relationship and never giving, only enduring and trying to
make him happy.
Although she understood that she was only beating a dead snake, she has no intention of letting go.
She just can’t live without Fin, not after all they’d been through.
When he told her he wanted to break up for the third time, she saw he was serious and finally made
up
her mind to allow him to be with the one he thinks he loves, but it wasn’t to go away literally but to
leave the world.
She was already planning to secretly commit suicide in a way that wouldn’t make him blame himself or
grieve too much.
She thought that her being alive would cause discomfort to Fin’s new relationship and this idea was
borne after watching a love drama that had almost the same story as theirs. Even though the ML left
with the FL, he still couldn’t forget his childhood love who became a total mess after he left her.
The pity and guilt he felt for her made his relationship with the FL not smooth sailing and after the
childhood love died of cancer, the ML became ill.
Beverly didn’t want Fin to end up like that and chose to immediately end it before it was too late but
God sent Jeslyn to her.
She and Jeslyn had been friends on Chatme but never really talked until one day. She got drunk and
felt like screaming her problem to someone and the only person she felt wouldn’t make a mockery of
her was Jeslyn, so she requested for her number from Celestine.
Also, she was sure that Jeslyn wouldn’t tell Fin what she was going through because Jeslyn and Fin
aren’t very close and Maverick wasn’t the type to get involved in other people’s relationships even
though Jeslyn tells him, which was why she had no problem trusting that her secret would be safe with
Jeslyn.
Surprisingly, Jeslyn gave her, a stranger, a listening ear without trying to calm her down or give her
advice. She was just like a wall that took in all of her nagging and dissatisfaction.
After two days, Jeslyn called her and requested they meet up. She was scared, or rather
uncomfortable. Firstly, she forgot the day after her outburst that she spoke to Jeslyn, and secondly, she
had never gone out with anyone who wasn’t Fin.
So when Jeslyn suddenly asked her out, she got scared of being alone with a half–stranger.
Fortunately, she went and got to know that Jeslyn was the sweetest soul she had ever come across,
except Fin, of course.
So after she made up her mind to commit suicide after attending Jeslyn’s debut, she suddenly saw
Jeslyn’s message, asking her how her relationship with Fin was.
It was the first time anyone ever cared to ask her, and because she had somehow grown to like Jeslyn,
she told her it was so and so. However, Jeslyn being the smart person she was, picked up the untold
truth and came up with a plan that should be executed after her debut.
The funniest thing was Jeslyn telling her: “After the plan if he still doesn’t change his mind, you can set
him free.” If only she had an idea of how she intended to set him free.
Presently, Inspector Fin was standing by the guest room door with a tray of food in hand. She hadn’t
eaten since and he noticed, however, there was no sound coming from the room which meant she
must be sleeping and he didn’t want to disturb her, so he stayed there like that for almost thirty minutes,
thinking whatnot before he turned around and left.
That night…..
Madam Caroline didn’t look for her daughter when she didn’t return home for almost two days, nor did
she bother to place a call to Feng Long to know why. At this moment, she was on her luxurious bed,
sleeping like never before.
Maybe she thought her daughter can’t be harmed anywhere in the Country.
Piper, on the other hand, was curled up under the duvet as she battled a fever. Her inside was hot but
her body was cold and shivering. However, her pale face had sweat on it.
Her involuntary movements didn’t go unnoticed by the hazel hawk eyes that didn’t stray from her,
owned by the handsome Brian.
He hadn’t slept a wink since and was staring at the sick Piper lying there on the bed. He had done all
he could to make her find relief but nothing seemed to be working… He had also gone and banged on
the door for more than thirty minutes but no one came down, they didn’t even bring them food.
Coming to the last resort, Brian got up from the chair and started to unbutton his blue shirt while saying:
This is troublesome. Why do you have to be sick now? Piper, why do you love to give me stress? Does
it make you happy?”
Piper couldn’t respond even though she heard, or she didn’t want to respond. Since yesterday when
they’ve been here, Brian didn’t stop bullying her, and she was tired of him.
She slowly opened her blurry eyes to vaguely see him taking off his shirt. What was he trying to do?!
She watched as he took off his… trousers!
“Wh- what are you doing?” She asked weakly.
