BXBX NOVEL Chapter 197: Heroine Chapter: My Possum [2/2]
What if he did?
Where would I go if I could not be with him?
Only when I heard it in his own words did my fears disappear. After he found out what we did in Japan, his answer made me very happy.
"Cut the nonsense Bella. We\'ve been through a lot together. You girls are mine. I would never let any of you go unless you betrayed me. I just wanted to make sure everyone got out okay."
The relief that flooded my body that day almost made my knees wobbly.
For the first time, someone had said I was theirs. It felt unreal. To belong to someone. I had been told that the only way to belong to someone was to be married to them.
\'I want to be his, and I want him to be mine,\' I wished.
Since then, I wanted to see him. Everything reminded me of him. I wanted to protect him, I wanted to know everything about him. Nothing else mattered as long as I could be with him. I must really have become stupid.
\'I really love him huh?\'
"Lilly, I will not ask you again. Step aside. Husband cares about you, but not this depraved slut. Just look away," Jasmine\'s fierce declaration brought me back to reality.
"Jasmine, like I said. Dear wants this bitch sa...."
Lilly\'s phone rang and she answered it. A few seconds later, a voice recording started playing in the background. The voice belonged to the wombat, but it was more emotional than I ever thought possible.
[Caroline. Caroline. Please don\'t do this, I can do better. I will work harder. I don\'t even care what happened, just say you\'ll stay with me. Please...] The wombat\'s voice trembled, the weakness in his voice sounded so vulnerable.
[It\'s over John. I love Harry now; he makes me happy. If you really love me, let me go,] Karo said coldly.
[But didn\'t you say that we would be together forever? How could you betray me like this! I only have you! I won\'t make a scene, just stay with me.]
[That is not my concern, John. I want to do something with my life. And you are not part of my future. I only went out with you because I was bored. You are poor, ugly and stupid. Who would ever want to be with you?]
[Caroline, please...please just stay. I will do anything you want.]
[Goodbye John. Don\'t look for me again.]
Lilly, who had been watching on her phone, suddenly crushed it between her fingers. Her face was contorted with rage that seemed to make her hair stand on end. Despite her phone going kaput the recording continued. Another man\'s voice played.
[Caroline. Did you get rid of John yet?]
[I did baby, I even recorded it for you to see. Are you pleased?]
[Well, John always bragged about how much you loved him.]
[But I only love you now, baby. I wouldn\'t even let him touch me; I told him I wanted to save myself for marriage. He still thinks I am a virgin.]
[How heartless. Didn\'t he spend money to send you to school?]
[Pfft! Haha! Even if he starved to death, the money he sent me was only a few hundred dollars, while you give me thousands.]
[I\'m surprised he bought your marriage bullshit. You were no longer a virgin before I fucked your brains out. How many guys have railed this pussy?]
[Does it matter? You know you love my body.]
[Heh. Can\'t argue with that, come here you little slut. You won\'t get any sleep tonight.]
The recording ended and Bella explained, killing intent radiating from her.
"The fucker on the recording is Harry Evans. I found it in Caroline\'s files. Jasmine overheard."
Immediately, the area around Liv was shattered by her homicidal fervor.
"Lilly, if you do not give me a good reason, I will behead this harlot in the next 10 seconds," the Northerner promised furiously.
Lilly took something out of her pocket and threw it at Bella. The Brazilian fiddled with a stick-like device and another recording played over the speakers. It was the wombat\'s conversation with Lilly.
"It was complicated. No matter what happened, there was a time when she made me the happiest man on earth."
"Past tense?"
"Yes, we parted on bad terms. I loved her dearly, but that all ended the moment we broke up."
Lilly explained through clenched teeth.
"Look, everyone, I agree with you. But dear isn\'t like normal people. He may not love her anymore, but because he loved her before, he still does not wish her any harm. Especially not from us."
\'The wombat\'s love was — deep. He spoke with such affection even after she betrayed him? She might be a slagger, but shouldn\'t I thank her for leaving then? Otherwise, would I even have a chance to have him?\'
With my mind made up, I ignored the situation and headed for the exit.
"Robyn? Where are you going?" Josephine asked.
It seemed to me that everyone was focusing on the wrong problem. Why focus on Karo when the wombat was what mattered?
"I\'m going to a gun shop. I am going to buy my possum a present, you slaggers do what you want," I replied.
"What do you mean? Why do you need a present?" Liv asked.
"I want to see my possum smile when I give him a new gun."
"Ara, what brought this on, sweetheart? He is no longer a wombat?"
I looked at Karo who was lying on the ground and then at the Sirens.
"Karo might have been the one my possum loved before, she might have even made him happy. But that was in the past. If she had married him, there wouldn\'t have been a chance for me. Now that she fucked off, I will make my possum so happy that he will never remember her."
With that, I left the room.
The Sirens were free to concentrate their attention on Karo. In the meantime, I will claim the love of my possum for myself.
