Chapter 3: Abandoned by All
641 Words
"Because your brother knew damn well that with Olivia around, I wouldn't marry you. So he kidn*pped Olivia, threatened me to marry you, and Olivia misunderstood me, then got with your brother. From start to finish, I never loved you. These two years, I've done more than enough for you," James said, poker-faced. "Lisa, you should be thankful for having a good brother."
Lisa covered her ears and yelled in helplessness, "You're lying! My brother would never do that!"
James furrowed his brow but stayed silent.
Lisa's body, wrapped in a soaked, tight dress, showcased her curves. Her wet hair fell over her shoulders, adding a touch of pitiable charm.
There was nothing wrong with her, but she was just too plain.
Men like a bit of excitement, but Lisa made him feel like a glass of tap water, while Olivia was like a bubbly cola, always full of fizz and passion.
But after two years together, he didn't want things to get too ugly.
"I'll help you settle your brother's company debt," James released her hand and handed her the divorce agreement on the table. "Just sign on this, and we'll go through with the divorce proceedings tomorrow. After that, we can still be ordinary friends."
Lisa held the stack of papers, trembling, her heart feeling as if it had plunged into the depths of a freezing winter.
The two big letters at the top were glaringly bright.
Divorce Agreement.
A signature on this piece of paper, and her marriage would be sentenced to death.
And the woman her brother cherished for a lifetime would end up with her husband.
Lisa suddenly burst into laughter, tears streaming down her cheeks as she laughed.
She tightly held the stack of A4 papers with her slender fingers and, in the blink of an eye, tore them to shreds.
James' eyes sharpened, and he grabbed Lisa's wrist. "Lisa, have you gone insane?"
Lisa let out a cold laugh, her eyes filled with despair and sorrow. She raised her hand and threw the scraps of paper at James' face. "As long as I don't agree to the divorce, Olivia will remain my brother's woman. I won't let my brother be insulted even in death, and I won't easily hand over my man, my love, to the other woman!"
"Lisa!" James' eyes flashed with a moment of fierceness. His grip on Lisa's wrist was so strong it felt like he might crush her bones. But she didn't flinch, staring back at him with unwavering defiance. Her stubbornness was like adding soda to plain water, creating an explosive eruption of intensity.
"All right, let's see how long you can hold out!"
James snorted and hugged Olivia out of the room.
Lisa watched his departing figure with all her strength, desperately hoping he would look back at her one more time. But he didn't even glance in her direction.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Lisa's knees gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.
Two years ago, her parents had left her, and her brother was all she had left.
But now, her brother was gone too, and the man she loved had fallen for someone else.
Why, when she hadn't done anything wrong, was she abandoned by everyone?
"James... I don't want you to leave... Come back... Come back!"
Lisa suddenly got up, crying, and rushed outside!
At this moment, she only wanted to keep the man she once loved deeply, whether it was a friend or a lover. She just wanted him to stay by her side, and she didn't want to become alone!
However, James didn't pay any attention to her shouting, and the car disappeared in an instant.
Lisa stood in despair and confusion in the rain, finally unable to withstand the successive blows, her eyes darkened, then suddenly she fainted.
