My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 249

The snow in Ireland lasted only for a while and the temperature dropped to slightly below the freezing point. The weather hadn't gotten too cold, but I was chilled to the bone.

It might have something to do with my frail health.

WT's base was situated in a forest located in the northern region of Ireland, and luckily it wasn't very far from us. By the time we got there, it was around 6.00AM.

The first light hadn't reached Ireland yet. Joseph parked the car about 200 yards from our destination and got out of the car.

I followed suit and got out of the car in thick clothing. The rearview mirror reflected my pale look, and my red and glassy eyes. My long hair was swayed by the breeze, setting off my pale face.

Taking a deep breath as I stood in the snow, I turned to the side and watched hundreds of Xenoses' armed men following Joseph's lead.

Once all the men departed from my side, I whispered a question to Anthony, who was next to me. "Am I doing the right thing?"

I put many to death for my vendetta.

It didn't seem like a wise choice.

He understood my concerns and gave me an objective answer. "Both of us are reluctant to see them sacrifice, but it can't be helped. A member of the Xenoses will pay back everyone who wronged them. It's also a warning to other authorities around the world. Otherwise, they'll treat the Xenoses as weaklings and bring us more trouble in the future. Miss, you're doing the right thing."

I wasn't thinking of warning them at all.

I only wanted to find a resting place for the twenty-three people who were sacrificed. Due to their sacrifice, they did not deserve to be forgotten by the world.

Presently, WT's base was still out of sight. I waddled through the snow with slow and cautious steps. The men followed behind closely to ensure my safety, except Joseph and the other twenty-two men he led.

We traveled for about another five minutes and got past a snowbank before the base came into view from below. It was a massive dome-like structure, and the wall circling was tall enough to prevent invaders. Other than that, the base was heavily guarded by their lackeys.

At that moment, a hundred men from the Xenos Family rushed to the wall and tried to blow the door with dynamites. The men of WT immediately reacted to the invasion by sounding the alarm.

As the alarm resounded through the compound, my legs began to wobble, and I instantly reached out a hand to hold Anthony's shoulder out of reflex. Noticing my condition, he immediately helped me to stand on my feet and asked worriedly, "Miss, your health—"

I interrupted him before he could finish, "Don't. It'll hurt the morale."

I was barely holding it together. I needed the time to rest well more than anything else, but I had to wait a bit longer until everything settled before I could get a good rest.

I wanted to see Colin kneel before me.

Shawn, too. He would be here as well.

After all, I still had to pay him back for stabbing me. Or else I could never get over it for the rest of my life.

A fight broke out between the two sides. The sight was unbearable to watch as the blood slowly drenched the snow. The feeling of nausea in my throat grew stronger over time.

I wanted to throw up, but I had to restrain myself.

The Xenoses were bleeding because of me.

I ordered the man behind me, "You guys break through from behind."

"Miss, they have to stay here to ensure your safety."

However, I gave him no scope to argue. "Just do it."

The men beside me making a breakthrough would gain us the upper hand. It would do them no good guarding a sick person like me.

The twenty-three people left my side and hurried to the battlefield, leaving me and Anthony alone. From the spot where I looked down, I found a man staring back at me with a cold glare on the watchtower.

As expected, he was here.

It's been a month since I last saw Shawn, and he looked more distant than ever.

Standing next to him was Colin, and he was armed.

Colin showed no hint of fear on his face as he used the phone to make a call. Not long after he dialed the number, the phone in my pocket rang.

I didn't bother to pick it up. There was no need to answer it at the moment.

My sarcastic gaze landed on him. He was taken aback for a moment before he smashed his phone on the ground. Shutting my eyes, I asked the man beside me, "How long until it ends?"

"Miss, ten more minutes."

I hummed a response and shut my eyes as I was unable to bring myself to watch the scene that was unfolding beneath my feet. About seven to eight minutes later, Anthony's voice brought me back to reality. "It's over. Miss, we have Colin being held captive."

"Okay. What about Shawn?" I asked.

"Mr. Xenos turned himself in. Our men will bring them to you. Only a few more feet until they are here."

Anthony addressed Shawn as 'Mr. Xenos' the whole time.

Even though Shawn was now our enemy, he always held respect for Shawn.

Thereafter, I asked him, "Where is the so-called Alfie?"

"He's not in Ireland."

I opened my eyes and found nobody was holding Shawn down. I guess it was Joseph's way to show him respect. On the contrary, Colin looked like a mess. He was tied up with a death knot and covered in bruises.

My men threw him like a sack next to my feet, while Shawn stood next to him the whole time with a neutral expression.

There was nothing wrong with his attitude. A man like Shawn was afraid of nothing. Moreover, he was now facing me—a merciful person.

My presence would never frighten him.

I forced myself to approach them and kneeled next to Colin. He gave me a giddy smile when he said, "Ms. Felix, you're Shawn's woman and I'm his friend. We aren't strangers. You don't have to go this far. About the other day, I—"

My slender fingers touched his cheek and caressed it with delicate movements. He stared at me in surprise before stealing a glance at Shawn.

Colin began in confusion, "Ms. Felix, what are you doing?"

"You killed my men and humiliated me the other day. Today, I came all this way to Ireland and sacrificed most of my men to capture you. What makes you think I'll let you go? Don't be ridiculous. I have better things to do."

My fingers slid down his body and almost reached his belt.

As my hand was about to land on his belt, Shawn chided me. "Ray."

I couldn't believe he was still calling me by that name.

The name was a sign that he saw me as one of his own.

He was no longer my man, but he was trying to act like a brother to me.

He could dream on because I wouldn't want him back as my man at all.

I took the knife from Joseph and stabbed it into Colin's waist with force. He grunted and bore the pain without making another sound.

I had never harmed a person in my life before, and my hands were shaking uncontrollably. However, my hatred got the best of me. I drew the knife out and pushed it into his shoulder before I aimed it at his legs quickly, then his abdomen.

I stabbed him a few times as if a demon possessed me, but he never begged for his life other than letting the grunts escape. When I withdrew the knife, he laughed all of a sudden. "You're a fierce

woman."

I reminded him, "I planned to kill you."

But I couldn't bring myself to kill him.

However, tearing WT down meant Colin had no longer the place to prove his usefulness to the organization. He couldn't stir up trouble by himself. Thus, the punishment was enough.

After that, I cast a cruel look at Shawn, who watched the scene unfold indifferently all the time. Struggling, I got up from my current position and walked toward him with the knife in my hand.

Colin chuckled as he caught his breath. "What is it now? Are you trying to stab your man? Are you not afraid of the consequences?"
