I paused in my tracks. Then, I retorted with a smile, “Elijah Montgomery will never exist in Matthias‘ world from now on. Hence, the things that you mentioned will never happen in this reality.
“You think Matthias is the weapon you get to wield against me? I was the one who gave birth to him, so his existence will only serve as my armor against you!”
Elijah’s expression went dark. He threatened, “No man in this world would want to sleep with a loose shoe that I’ve worn out! Go ahead and find a boyfriend, then!
“Whenever you get into a new relationship, I’ll make sure to wreck it! Let’s see who can outlast the other!”
Before I could respond to Elijah, Alex reacted by punching him in the face. She was a black belt taekwondo fighter, so her attack was enough to make Elijah spit out a mouthful of blood.
With a dark expression, he snarled out, “Alex, have you gone crazy? How dare you beat me up!”
Alex flexed her shoulders, a disdainful look on her face.
“I’ve always wanted to punch you for the longest time ever. You’re always welcome to take me to court.”
A look of hatred and resentment appeared on Elijah’s face after that. Of course, he dared not sue Alex.
He was terrified of her, after all.
“Let’s go drinking!” I crowed while taking Alex’s hands.
Soon, we drove away from the courthouse.
It was time for me to welcome the brand new chapter of my life!
One year later, I heard that Elijah submitted his resume to three different companies at one point shortly after his bankruptcy. He had worked jobs that netted him ten thousand dollars a month.
But he could never hold his job down for a long time at every company.
The thing was, Elijah often thought that he could start over. Soon, he’d rise back to the ranks where he’d earn hundreds of thousands of dollars every month as a corporate boss.
Unfortunately for him, he’d never be able to find someone who’d support him from every angle. He’d never find someone like me.
S
That was why Elijah could only vent his frustrations at work. He’d talk back to his superiors during meetings and humiliate his colleagues greatly at work.
Soon, he got fired by the companies he worked at.
Meanwhile, Yvonne felt a lot better now that Elijah was poor. She soon hooked up with a rich fat man and disappeared with him.
I thought I wouldn’t hear any news about Elijah and Yvonne for the rest of my life. Little did I know that Alex would call me with the freshest gossip about them about half a year
later.
“Holy shit, I got the hottest tea for you!”
“What happened?”
I didn’t need to hear the names to know that Alex was talking about Elijah and Yvonne. Alex clicked her tongue. “So, Elijah got fired last month. Again. Something must have snapped in him last night because he went to look for Yvonne all of a sudden.
“Who would’ve known that Yvonne wasn’t having such a good time at all? That fat guy might be rich, but he abused her regularly. She’s completely covered in bruises!
“Well, I don’t know the exact details. Maybe that fatso isn’t as skilled as Elijah in bed. Turns out that Yvonne was somehow tricked into forgiving Elijah the moment they met! What’s more surprising is that those two actually ended up having sex in Yvonne’s place!
“Guess what happened next?”
I was surprised. “Err… What happened?”
Alex’s voice grew louder. “That fatso went home all of a sudden. When he saw Elijah and Yvonne fooling around together, he got so mad that he beat up both of them on the spot!
“That fatso was pretty strong, you know? Besides, he’s used to abusing Yvonne on a regular basis. That night, he had already gone insane from the fury, so he didn’t hold back
at all.
“Elijah tried to fight back, so the fatso picked up a chair and began bashing him with it. In the end, Elijah’s legs got crippled.
“As for Yvonne… Well, things are worse for her. That fatso is a cruel one; he actually used a pair of scissors to disfigure her face! Yvonne will definitely remain ugly and disfigured for the rest of her life!”
I gasped once I heard the latest news.
After ending the call, my new boyfriend happened to walk out of the kitchen with a steaming mug in hand. He placed the drink before me.
“I just whipped up this low–fat, low–sugar latte. I even added a thick layer of caramel syrup just for you. Why don’t you give it a taste?”
I took a sip from the latte. My eyes lit
up instantly.
“This is delicious!”
It tasted quite sweet.
For me, my bitter days were long over. Forevermore, my life would definitely be as sweet as this latte.
