Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176 How Does It Feel to be Abandoned?

The phrase ‘I knew it‘ was filled with disappointment and self–deprecation. She tilted her head to hold back her

tears, her smile bitter and glaring. “I knew this would happen. I knew it…”

Gilbert’s heart ached. ‘She knows nothing. She knows nothing at all.‘

Sharon squealed with excitement when she heard Gilbert had chosen her. “You are still the best to me. No matter what, you always have me in your heart.” She then looked at Kisa triumphantly and said pretentiously, “Don’t cry, Kisa. Don’t blame Gilbert, because he could choose only one. But don’t worry, Gilbert will come back to save you. Just wait for him.”

“That’s enough!”

Gilbert suddenly yelled, throwing the leather suitcases in front of Howard. “Hurry up and let them go.”

Howard gave Kisa a seemingly sympathetic look. “Tsk, How does it feel to be abandoned?”

However sad and disappointed she was, Kisa still acted as if she did not care. “I knew he wouldn’t choose me, and I had no illusions about him. So I feel nothing. This is expected.”

Gilbert clenched the hands at his side. He hated Kisa for her stubbornness and toughness. ‘Had she cried for me to take her away, I would have taken her out of here against all odds. But she never did, never.‘

Howard quickly freed Sharon and pushed her to Gilbert in disgust. “You can take her now. As for Kisa, well, I will free her unharmed when I’m safely somewhere else.”

“You better do what you say.” Gilbert grunted through clenched teeth.

Fearing that Howard might backtrack, Sharon pulled at Gilbert and cried, “I feel so terrible, Gilbert. My face hurts. Take me to the hospital. Will I be disfigured?”

Gilbert looked at Kisa for one last time and then took

Sharon outside.

After they drove away in a car, Kisa could no longer hold back her tears, and she cried uncontrollably. Her mutilated heart was now completely crushed. ‘See how heartless he is!‘ She had never had any illusions about that man, but she could not help but be hopeful of him. The saddest and most ridiculous thing was that it was all in her head. At this moment, her world collapsed into darkness. Nothing–revenge, grudge, and love, including the truth of five years ago, and the secret that made Madalyn hate her so much–mattered anymore. She just wanted to get out of here, forever, from a world of despair and suffocation.

Howard was in a rush to leave. He loosened the ropes on Kisa, but still tied both her hands behind her back so she could not escape. Kisa was like a walking corpse, at his mercy. He kicked her impatiently while holding the

suitcases in both hands. “What tricks are you trying to pull again? Get up.” When she did not move, he kicked her twice more. “You don’t have to get upset with me. Blame it on the man who’s so mean. It is a pity that you are doing Sharon’s dirty work for her.

She tried her best to persuade Howard to make a deal with Gilbert, but in the end, she only saved Sharon. She rolled over on her back and laughed like a maniac. “Just kill me!”

“What else to take hostage after killing you? So quickly get me up.”

“I won’t go with you. You can either kill me or let me go.”

“You!”

Howard was desperate. He dropped the suitcases and lifted her.

Just as he was about to give her a good beating, he saw her exposed neckline and a lustful desire rose within him. He suddenly laughed in a hoarse voice and said, ” Wouldn’t it be a pity to kill you? I’m not done with that day, so I might as well continue today.” With that, he pressed Kisa to the ground, and then tore her clothes frantically.

Losing all hope, Kisa stared at the ceiling and made no resistance.
