The Devil’s love

Chapter 110 - Bed Of Thorns

Roger really couldn't stand the way Ning was talking to him and the tone that she was using was making him go crazy.

From the day he had met her until he left the country for a couple of years, Ning had always been polite to him and had always treated him as a good friend. Though she was pictured to be rude and ruthless by everyone, Roger knew that she showed her good and friendly side only to the people Ning felt she could trust and Roger always considered himself very fortunate and blessed to be one of the people she thought she could trust. ??

But her sudden coldness was making his heart ache and he couldn't help but blame Mo Yichan for it.

"You see Roger, you know me well. We have known each other for quite sometime now and I'll forever be grateful to you for helping me back then when I was new to all of this. Well, I have already returned your favour by helping you a couple of times but let's not get into that." Pausing for a while, Ning added, "Apart from the fact that I've a meeting in another ten minutes, I also don't like beating around the bush, so I'll straight away come to the point."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Ning added, "So coming to your question about everything still being the same, I would like to remind you that nothing is the same. Well, I don't know about you but I am not the same. I am a married woman now. I have a new family, a husband and a new surname too. I am addressed as Mrs Mo now and no more Ms Yang. Not only do I have a new surname but I also have a new home and that is a huge change."

When Roger pursed his lips, Ning added, "Look I know about your feelings for me and I don't really mind or care about someone harbouring feelings for me but it's not the same for my husband. Though he is very understanding and will never stop me from seeing you, I still cannot do that. When I am not okay with him seeing other women irrespective of whoever she is, how can I expect him to be okay with me seeing someone who I know has special feelings for me? Not only is that very unfair for Yi but also against my principles."

Tucking his hands into his pocket, Roger asked, "Why him? If you knew about my feelings, why him and not me?" Roger was still not over the fact that Ning actually chose Yichan over him. What did Yichan have which he didn't? There wasn't something special about him right? In fact, Yichan was a walking devil. He was a man who had millions for skeletons hidden in his closet. How could a woman so pure and gentle fall for someone so devilish?

With the corner of her lips curled upwards, Ning said, "Yichan had always been the only one for me and no matter how hard anybody tries, he is irreplaceable in my heart. So it really isn't because you are not good or you are not capable. The truth is that you never even had a chance and not just you, nobody ever had a chance." For Ning, no matter what had happened in the past, Yichan was the only man who has occupied all of her heart and body. This is also one of the reasons why she couldn't move on and she was a hundred percent sure that Yichan also felt the same way.

Letting out a mocking chuckled, Roger asked, "Do you have any idea what you've gotten yourself into? Do you think that you have married an ordinary businessman? Do you know what kind of man your so-called husband is? Maybe it's a bed of roses for you now but sooner or later, that man will drag you down along with him. Very soon, that bed of roses will turn into a bed of thorns and you'll suffer along with him."

"If I am happily sharing the bed of roses with him right now, I might as well share the bed of thorns with him, isn't that fair enough? You don't expect me to leave him alone during the tough times and stay with him only when things are all shiny and bright, or do you?"

Without waiting for his reply, Ning added, "And who doesn't have secrets? You think I have no secrets? Maybe he has a little more but who cares? I don't but I guess you care about my husband's secrets way too much. But again, that doesn't matter because you aren't the one who is going to spend the rest of your life with him. So until and unless I am okay with it, everything is alright."

"You are saying this because you don't know him well but I do. He is a vicious and devilish man that I have ever met. People don't call him hard hearted and merciless for no reason Ning. He just portraits his goody good image in front of you to deceive you and-"

Cutting him off, Ning narrowed her eyes and snapped, "Standing in my office and in my territory, you are boldly bad mouthing about my husband, how thick skinned and stupid of you Mr William's?"

Ning addressing him using his last name was like a stab in his heart. She was very much determined to create a healthy distance between them and Roger could feel her disinterest over him.

"I am letting you off this time for old times sake but next time I hear you bad mouthing my husband, then I'll make sure that you lose a tooth or two." Initially Ning wanted to end things in a healthy manner with Roger but the way he was talking about her man was making her lose her cool.

After taking a deep breath, Ning added, "I don't really care what history you share with my man and honestly I don't even wanna know but you better keep your hands and ill-intentions away from Yichan."
