Her New Life, His Eternal Pain Chapter 06

Her New Life, His Eternal Pain Chapter 06 Back For More

She only rested one day. Then she dragged herself back to Lane Group.

Her injuries from the fall hadn’t healed. But worse than that? Her organs were shutting down faster every day.

The day she came back, Liam made her come to a business dinner.

The clients wanted to get her drunk. She didn’t say no. Just took glass after glass. Like she was trying to drink herself to death.

“Damn, Fiona’s a machine! No guy can keep up with her!”

The alcohol kicked the drug into overdrive. Pain tore through her like a wild animal inside her gut.

Same as always, Liam just sat there. Quiet. Watching.

Empty bottles piled up on the table.

Finally, the pain was too much. She excused herself to the bathroom. Swallowed a handful of painkillers. Barely helped.

When she forced herself back, the room was empty.

She thought he’d ditched her again. Her drunk, hazy eyes filled with loneliness. She stumbled outside.

Her place was close. She’d walk.

But she was way too drunk. Everything blurred. She could barely stand.

A river ran alongside the road. Her feet tangled. She pitched sideways,-about to fall right in.

A hand grabbed her. Pulled her against a hard chest.

She blinked up. Liam. His face twisted in disgust.

“Trying to pull some new stunt so I’ll feel sorry for you?”

She stared at him. So close. But so cold. So distant.

And then she remembered something from a long time ago.

Their college graduation trip. A party. A girl asked him if he liked anyone.

He’d grabbed Fiona by the neck and kissed her right there.

Smiled like an idiot and announced to the whole world: she was his.

He’d said she’d be his wife someday.

She’d sat there blushing while everyone hooted and asked them to kiss again.

Those days were gone.

They just looked at each other. Stood there frozen.

Then an angry voice cut through.

“What the hell are you two doing?!”

Evelyn and Serena had been shopping. They’d seen everything.

Her own son. Hugging the woman who killed her daughter.

Liam snapped out of it. Shoved Fiona away. His face was a mess of emotions.

He dropped his head, walked to his mother, forced his voice calm.

“Mom, nothing happened. Just ran into her. Let’s go.”

Evelyn’s face was dark with hate. She spat at Fiona. “You jinx. Stay away from my son.”

Serena shot Fiona a smug look. Then walked off with Evelyn.

Fiona stood there, frozen in the memory. Then her legs gave out. She collapsed on the ground.

Samuel found her there and carried her unconscious, reeking of alcohol, back home.
