Nemesis Game novel Chapter 48

His cold, mocking words completely crushed the warm feeling in her heart.

Samantha's head was drooping down and with the lights dotted on her thick and long eyelashes, the shadow was like a cumbersome shackle.

She was not sad, why she should feel so?

Why was she sad when she heard what he said?

"Of course, I can remember my position. Mr. Knight, you don't need to remind me again and again. It must be hard to do so." Samantha resisted the urge to cry and pulled out a smile forcibly.

Ruben snorted coldly, "It's good to know you are aware of it."

Ruben didn't know why Gabriel fell in love with this woman.

When it came to beauty, the entertainment industry had never lacked beautiful women.

Why Gabriel wanted Helena to approach him?

He didn't believe that Gabriel couldn't see through a woman.

Samantha took the medicine from the hospital and then took the transfusion.

She couldn't make it to the crew today, so she told Clara in advance to ask for a day off for her.

After the phone call, Samantha finally had the time to talk to the man next to her, who looked indifferent.

"My assistant will be here soon. Thank you a lot for your help, Mr. Knight. I know you are so busy, and I dare not to delay your schedule." Samantha said lightly.

Ruben paused and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Are you driving me away?"

He did not know what she was thinking. If she really approached him with any purpose, then why she didn’t ask him to stay just like other women?

She drove him away!

This was the first time he had encountered such a thing, and of course, he would not be in a good mood.

"I’m not driving you away. Mr. Knight always has a tight schedule, and I dare not to disturb you." Samantha deliberately pulled up her lips, looking at him with a smile.

No matter how he tried to figure out her words, Ruben didn't think she was really sincere, "Shut up!"

He was so pissed off by this reckless woman.

How dare you, Helena!

The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became quiet, just when the nurse came in with the medicine.

Helena subconsciously reached out to pick the medicine up, but Ruben was one step ahead of her.

"Give the medicine back to me." Samantha was taken aback for a moment and said.

Since he hated her so much, what was he staying here for?

Ruben looked at her coldly, paused for a while, and brought her a cup of hot water.

"You really can’t tell good from bad." He scolded her.

Samantha was stunned, but Ruben suddenly grabbed her right hand the next second.

The touch at this moment made Samantha upset and she pushed him away despite the hot boiling water, "Go away!"

Her emotions were too intense as if he had pocked on her sore spot.

That was why her resistance was so fierce.

Her right hand had broken before.

She stayed in prison for seven years, and her voice and arms were all injured there.

Her pride and dignity, her everything was ruined.

During the shoving, the glass of water shattered and the boiling water reddened her wrists.

She didn't feel the pain but repeated, "Let me go, let me go!"

Ruben didn't know why she overreacted like that, he was furious and yelled, "What is wrong with you?"

He did nothing to her, why she revolted him so intensely?

Samantha endured the pain in her right wrist and stared into the man's dark eyes.

"It’s not your business." Her shoulders trembled and her voice was hoarse.

Ruben finally realized something was wrong. He rolled up her sleeve up and found a black mandala tattoo on her wrist. At the same time, he also found the surrounding skin had crisscrossed knife scars and hideous burns.

He was in such a huge shock, his pupils couldn't help shrinking, "Your hand..."

How could Gabriel's woman suffer a serious injury like this?

Isn't she the one Gabriel liked a lot? How did her…

Suddenly, Samantha couldn’t control herself and pushed him away fiercely. She seemed to be greatly irritated, and she quickly hid her scarred with sleeves.

"What happened to your hand? Someone bullied you?" Ruben hardly believes what he saw.

After all, he failed to restrain his voice...

After hearing this, Samantha closed her eyes, but tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

Who bullied her?

How much she wanted to yell at him, it was you, it was you! You and Peyton Moore made me almost die in jail and nearly killed me with the fire. How could you pretend to be innocent? Why would you pretend to be a good guy in front of me?

She wanted to vent the hate in her heart, but she knew she couldn't.

She couldn’t say anything.

"Why is Mr. Knight making such a fuss? Of course, I would be bullied by women because of seducing their men." She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers and smiled casually.

This was the price she paid for falling in love with Ruben.

She was getting sick of all this.

"You..." Ruben was startled by her craziness.

Could Gabriel not even protect a woman?

"You've seen enough of me, like a dog, living in such a miserable life, I think Mr. Knight should go?" she said in pain.

Every time she faced him, she felt pain once more and the wound in her heart was torn apart by him again.

She was about to be swallowed by her hatred.

"Who did it?" Ruben's voice was shocked.

Samantha looked at him and smiled, her smile was arrogant and ironical, and she was like a lunatic, "Does Mr. Knight really want to know?"

I was afraid you would regret to know...

As soon as Ruben was about to say something, the door of the ward was pushed open from outside.

Gabriel's voice was cold, "Don't bother to worry about Helena, Mr. Knight, I will protect her."

Gabriel suddenly showed up, and Samantha saw him as if she saw a life savior. She threw herself into his arms, and clutched his shirt with both hands, and her tears streamed down on her face.

At this moment, the only thing that could bring her a little comfort was Gabriel's warm embrace.

There seemed a flame in Ruben's eyes. Seeing that Helena and Gabriel were so close, he actually had a trace of…jealousy?

No, how could it be?

Ruben felt that he must have been pissed off by Helena.

He suppressed the thoughts in his heart and his lips rose into a ruthless smile, "I can let you be free, but don't forget that you belong to me."

Maybe he was stunned by Helena's grief. He didn't want to continue to entangle them but turned away and left.

After hearing Ruben's words, Gabriel frowned, "What was he talking about? Did you promise him anything?"

Samantha stabilized her emotions and shook her head with red eyes, "To beg him to let my brother go, I promised him some trivial conditions."

To be his mistress for half a year, how could it be called a trivial condition?

"What is the condition? Ruben is not like a person who is easy to give up on things." Gabriel was squinting at her.

Samantha did not intend to deceive him. She looked at his eyes honestly and said word by word, "He freed my brother on the condition that I need to be his mistress for half a year—”

"You agreed?" Gabriel was in shock in an instant.

Samantha laughed and looked down on the ground, "Why shouldn’t I?"

Gabriel hardly believed what he heard, "Do you know what you are doing?"

Samantha took a deep breath and was staring at him firmly, "I certainly do, taking away the heroine in the show from Peyton Moore is just an appetizer for me, I will take her man away from her and let her live in a miserable life all the time."

There was no other way, and she fell into the abyss of hatred.

She couldn't forget what she went through, and the child's death was the deepest pain in her heart.

Taking Ruben away was the most vicious retaliation to Peyton.

"You still have a better way," Gabriel whispered.

Samantha slowly shook her head with indifference in her eyes.

"But this is the fastest and most vicious way, isn't it?"

"But I don't want you to ruin your life like this…" There was a guilty look in Gabriel’s eyes. He felt moved, and his handsome face filled with gentleness.

Samantha stared at him but he could read all the hatred in her eyes.

"My life was ruined a long time ago."
