Chapter 91 I Came For What Is Mine, Bitch!
- I scream in pain as I feel my mother passing a cotton ball with alcohol to disinfect the wound that Thomas left me from the slap he gave me. Now I am safe at Miguel's house, from here I can hear the cries for help from my ex-boyfriend and for now I can only smile because all of this is not even a fraction of what my family will make him pay for what he did to me. Mía delicately caresses the tip of my nose while I scrunch it a bit receiving her touches. I lower my head and can't help but think about how close I was to losing everything for real. Jessica and her father have completely lost their minds. How far can a woman's dignity go? For the heiress of the Clark hotels, maybe this was the only way to have Sergei's love, without knowing that loving yourself first is above all things and above anyone else.
- She simply, when rejected, would have left with her head held high, but all she did was destroy everything knowing she couldn't have him. Gabrielle hands me a glass of water and my bottle of pills; since with all this my emotions are on edge and it's better to prevent a future crisis. Dad peeks his head through the door frame of grandma's room and I smile noticing the blood splattered on his face” The butcher," they call me”Akim Smirnov's loud laughter fills the empty space. I stand up because I believe it's not time to waste, tomorrow will be the ceremony at the Clark Tower and even if it costs me my life, I must save him.
- "Are you sure about this, baby?" my father's question starts spinning in my head. I close my eyes remembering the times Sergei saved me and even though my life was never in danger, we could say I was saved from my own existence. Before him, I felt like nothing in my own world made sense but during my time by his side, I realized that thanks to his love, everything was worth it. I nod my head over and over until mom asks me to stop. I get up from the edge of the bed with my aching face and the desire to take back what belongs to me from that damn woman.
