A Forced Contract Marriage with the Devil novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157

I cried as hard as I could. I squeezed my eyes shut and I just started to cry: I sobbed, and hiccupped, my body wracked with an onslaught o

sobs.

My throat burned. My chest ached. I couldn’t stop it. I didn’t want to stop it..

“I’m sorry…” he whispered, voice hoarse. “Fuck, I’m so sorry, baby.”

He leaned down, pressing kisses to my cheeks, my wet lashes, trying to kiss away the devastation he’d caused. His grip on my wrists loosened, almost tender now, as if he suddenly remembered I was something fragile.

But I didn’t feel it.

I didn’t feel the warmth of his lips.

First my parents. Now this?

Everything I thought I knew about my family, my blood, my roots was slipping through my fingers like ash. Lies layered upon lies. Secrets stacked like coffins.

I didn’t know who I hated more.

“Nikolai, don’t fucking-”

“You hate me” I pushed him back hard, “GET OFF ME! YOU HATE ME! YOU’RE A MONSTER! I HATE YOU! YOU’RE AN ANIMAL! YOU DISGUST
