Love to Hate Me

Chapter Eight Luc Is Here

“You threat me?” Fabian turns and furrows. He walks straightly to Salina with his dreadful madness.

No one talks in the store... A silence drops by.

Salina tries to hold there with her courage. “I just need to borrow you ten minutes.”

“Who do you think you are? Salina! To talk to me like that?!” He comes closer then whispers to her ear,

“I could send all you pictures out, online, what do you say?”

She shocks...

“Out!” He shares a look to his men then walks back to Becky.

Salina gets too overwhelms to get a nosebleed. It’s running crazy this time, her clothes are soaked by

blood. People around all shock and come to comfort her. They give her some tissues to stop her nose

bleeding, while, it’s not working.

“Lady, I think you have some disease, maybe cancer... I speak my mind. I suggest you check in the

hospital...” Someone says all of a sudden. “It’s fine, I’m okay, thanks for caring.” She smiles back and

tries to go home. Looking back from the window, Fabian and Becky, this couple, how lovely they are to

prepare the wedding inside, Salina feels hopeless and heartache, like thousands of needles pierce into

her heart all together!

Fabian looks back and sees her covering in nosebleed, he doesn't feel anything, just cold and

disgusting on his face.

Her heart now collapses into pieces at this moment, she has never felt such a pain and cold inside.

She can’t breathe, she feels she’s dying... Her nose is still bleeding. She wakes up from those strange

looking from others on the street. Then runs to a store to get more tissues.

She passes a park and sits for a while, trying to stop her bleeding.

“Salina...?” A familiar sound runs behind, so familiar, just like Luc!

She turns and it is him, exactly. He looks more mature nowadays, his childish has gone after he took

his family business.

“I’m sorry, to make your company in trouble.” She says with guilty.

Luc smiles and shakes his head, “It’s not from you, don’t blame yourself! Why you bleed so much? Are

you sick?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“No, I’m fine. It’s all because of the heat...” She explains.

Luc sighs, he knows she’s lying, “Do you know every time you lie you will blink your eyes a lot... I can

help you Salina, if you are in some trouble.”

Her eyes are red, no one ever talks to her like this gentle for a long time, “No, I’m fine. I had put your

family in trouble, it’s all my fault... I, I can’t...”

“Are you caring about me, Salina?” Luc holds her hands, asking carefully, “if you do, then same as

mine.”
