Chapter 85: Go to Hell!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The pain and humiliation started to surface. A layer of tears appeared in Samantha’s eyes and her vision became blurry. She did not want Timothy to see how fragile she was, so she closed her eyes and bit her lower lip without saying a word.
However, her numbness caused Timothy’s anger to burn even more. The tinge of madness in his eyes became more intense. He loathed the woman in front of him and hated her indifference, but most of all, he detested how he had no place in her heart and eyes.
What right did she have to stay together and be happy with another man after kicking him down into an endless hell?
Jonathan was right! Timothy should not have let her go two years ago! He should have dragged her down into that hell hole with him.
Samantha did not know how much time had passed, but just as she thought that she was on the verge of death, she felt the man get up from her body.
She heard him walk into the bathroom and shower before coming out again.
After that, Timothy dressed up slowly and tidily without even looking at Samantha. He took large steps and walked away, abandoning her like a tattered shoe.
The door was slammed shut and his footsteps faded away as the room became quiet once more.
It was then that Samantha opened her eyes, the corners of which were overflowing with an uncontrollable stream of tears.
She did not sob at all and cried silently as she opened her eyes wide and stared at the ceiling.
There was a pain in her aching heart and she felt so cold that her teeth were chattering.
She curled up stiffly and slowly, hugging herself firmly with her hands.
At that moment, she began to doubt whether those sweet moments she once had with Timothy were merely a dream in her own mind.
If that was not the case, how could he bear to hurt her like that?
How could Timothy ever bear to hurt Samantha?
…
She met Timothy during her one-year-old birthday celebration.
Old Master Barker and Old Master Larsson had a good relationship, and the former brought Timothy—who was three years old at the time—to Ell City for her birthday celebration.
Old Master Barker took an immediate liking to her during their first encounter. He praised her for her beauty, commented that her big eyes were full of vitality, and was sure that she would grow up to be a smart girl.
During her one-year-old catch1, Old Master Barker picked her up and put her amongst an array of things that had been prepared beforehand, including toys, calligraphy, piano, and even a company’s seal.
However, she ignored them one by one. Instead, she used her little limbs to crawl all the way to Timothy. Her little hands grabbed his legs and she smiled happily.
All the guests laughed at the time, and the one who laughed most joyfully was Old Master Barker. He slapped his thigh and said, “Told you Little Sammy was smart! She knows how to choose even at such a young age and picked out the best husband for herself!”
Samantha had no memory of that at all and it was her grandfather who told her the story. He recounted it to her from time to time when she was young and she could almost memorize it already after hearing it so many times.
Although she never had the chance to meet Timothy, it was only natural that she was curious about the man she always knew as the ‘baby husband’ she grabbed during her one-year-old catch.
When the Larsson Group later expanded their business, their focus shifted to Capital City. She was 14 when her family moved to Capital City and settled down.
Old Master Barker was very happy and he specifically gifted the Larssons a house just next door to the Barkers. The Larssons lived there and became neighbors with the Barkers.
After that, her grandfather brought her parents, herself, and Corey to thank Old Master Barker, marking Samantha’s first encounter with her legendary ‘baby husband’ Timothy.
Timothy was 17 that year. Dressed in a simple sweater, his facial features were elegant yet delicate and his physical stature was tall and thin. He walked toward her head-on like one of those handsome men who came straight out of a comic.
Samantha had imagined Timothy’s appearance before, but only then did she realize how her imagination was less than one-ten thousandth of his true handsomeness.
He greeted, “Old Master Larsson”, and those three words—when it came from him—were already mellifluous enough to listen to, as if it was the most beautiful tune in the whole world.
Old Master Barker introduced him, “This is Little Sammy. Her full name is Samantha Larsson, and she’s the little girl that grabbed you when she was still a child.”
Timothy’s dark eyes looked at her.
At that moment, Samantha understood the true meaning of love at first sight.
That night was a sleepless one for her after having fallen in love for the first time. She tossed and turned in bed before finally making a decision. She wanted to woo Timothy and make him become her husband for real!
Having analyzed the situation, she concluded that it was much easier for a woman to woo a man. In addition, they were neighbors, and she could use it to her advantage. More importantly, it was the two elders in their family who deliberately paired them together.
Samantha quickly went on the offensive.
However, there were countless women who had the hots for Timothy. Almost every young woman in the elite circle was trying to get close to Timothy and win his favor, though none had so far made Timothy do a double-take.
That included her, of course.
Samantha repeatedly hit a wall with her efforts. She tried various methods and Timothy still ignored her, which was rather demoralizing.
She was a pretty girl ever since she was young, and her personality was lively and cheerful too, in addition to being the school belle. All the boys tried to woo her, and her drawers were filled daily with love letters and gifts. She was stopped many times on her way back after school because someone wanted to confess to her. As a result, Timothy’s indifference made her doubt her life.
She went after Timothy for four years—from love at first sight at the age of 14 until her 18th birthday—and could count on her fingers just how many times Timothy spoke to her or even looked at her.
The dejection and sadness she felt made her wonder whether or not she should give up. There were plenty of good men in the world and she had no reason to remain so fixed on Timothy when he did not even like her!
Just as she thought that Timothy was about to become a passer-by in her life, she saw him being attacked by several tall and burly masked men who were not far away.
The group of people was likely trained professionally, for they knocked Timothy unconscious, dragged him into the car, and drove away quickly.
At that time, her lovestruck mind got the better of her and she drove a car to give chase, fearing that something might happen to Timothy.
She had no qualms slamming the accelerator and speeding off despite only getting her driver’s license recently. Having nearly crashed into other cars several times, she had no time to think about herself because her mind was focused solely on Timothy.
The masked men took Timothy to a deserted factory. After she had chased them to the place, her first course of action was to call the police, following which she hid secretly outside the door to observe the situation within.
Since she was a little far away, she could not hear what those masked people were saying to Timothy, but the expressions on their faces became increasingly fierce. Finally, they seemed to have gotten irritated by Timothy’s emotionless ridicule and pulled out a gun.
That sort of thing was seen only on television and she never would have expected to see it in real life.
Samantha watched as the masked man cocked the gun and aimed the barrel directly at Timothy’s heart. He sneered, “Go to hell!”
