Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie) novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 

I struggled with all my might and cried for help. Desperation almost swallowed me whole. 

“That’s enough!” In the end, Michael kicked Benson aside. 

I knew Michael hated other people touching his stuff. 

He didn’t care about me, but he touched me before. He naturally treated me as his cheapest belonging. 

I fell to the ground miserably and curled up. I grabbed my clothes tightly. 

Michael seemed to have lost his excitement. He looked at me and said coldly, “Everyone, scram!” 

Apparently, Benson and the rest still knew how to read the room. Seeing how Michael was furious, they got up and left one after another. 

There was only me and Michael in the room left. 

He got up and nudged me with his foot in disgust. 

“I heard that you went looking for Fredrick today. Are you that cheap? Are you in a rush to bother him so that he would sleep with you?” 

Fredrick Williams was my senior in college. He tried to win me over for many years and was a great 

ΠΑΠ. 

That day, I went to look for Fredrick because he was going overseas for his studies. 

He mentioned that he had applied for a spot for me to study abroad as well. He wanted me to think about it carefully before answering him. 

Even though I didn’t like him, he did not mind. He told me that he admired my talents and would wait 

for me in Montavia. 

To be honest, I was touched. 

Michael didn’t love me, so I knew he wouldn’t marry me. 

I said I would consider it carefully because I was still delusional back then. I imagined perhaps all my efforts throughout the years could win me a piece of Michael’s love. 

That was also the night that truly made me lose hope and determined to leave. 

‘Stephanie, did he touch you?” That night, Michael drank and was acting like a maniac. 

I hugged myself tightly and didn’t answer. 

“I am talking to you!” He kicked the coffee table like a madman and looked at me furiously. 

I was terrified, and I shook my head while crying. 

“Let me tell you, Stephanie. Don’t ever see him again! Understood?” He grabbed my hair and

threatened me not to see other men except for him. 

I nodded in fear, but he still wasn’t willing to let me go. 

He looked at me in annoyance, and his gaze was full of disgust.

“Michael, I didn’t tell Aunty Lois I want to marry you. She was the one who said we had a marriage agreement and asked me.” 

Looking at his gaze, I started to feel afraid and explained as much as I could. 

Because Benson had ripped open my clothes, the torn clothes slipped below my shoulders. 

My body was soaking wet, so I probably looked extremely dirty and cheap at that moment. 

He seemed even more furious and took a bottle of beer from the table. Then, he poured the beer on top of my head. 

“You’re filthy. Wash up properly.” 

Scared, I shut my eyes and let him bully me however he wanted. 

I brainwashed myself nonstop, telling myself that I owed him. 

We would be even after that night. Then, I would apply for the opportunity to study abroad the next 

day. 

I wanted to leave. 

I thought he would let me go after enough bullying. However, as if possessed, Michael grabbed my chin and kissed me. 

I thought he would dislike me for being dirty.”
