Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 204 Heartbreak



Chapter 204 Heartbreak

  As their lips had not parted each other, a tear had been so stubborn as it conspired against its owner, escaping from Ying Sheng’s eyes. It was just one tear, but soon, its brothers and sisters followed, the tears flowing on her cheeks like rivulets.

Little did they know, though, that they had one audience who had secretly followed them as if watching the climax of a story that had led his heart to quickly fall on the slope of Freytag’s pyramid, leading to its resolution. 

From afar was a man named Liam, who was dumbfounded. It was as if he was struck by lightning as he came at the wrong moment of seeing the woman he loves kissing the man who had broke her heart into teeny-tiny pieces. 

His hands at the sides turned into tight fists as the organ in his chest ached, jealousy coursing through his veins as he wondered to himself how he could make her turn to him instead of the other. 

Right here and then, it was then that Liam wished that he would be Han Xi that Ying Sheng loved if that’s what it takes to make her happy. 

It was as if a bucket of cold water had fallen on top of Liam, his body stiffening as he watched the woman he loves kissed the man who had broke her heart. His eyes were wide, and his mouth was agape, his hands at the side trembling as his heart crumbled in its shelter. 

He decided to follow her after waiting for five minutes because he couldn’t help but worry about her. Ying Sheng had broken down in front of him, and with her alone with him, he couldn’t just sit down and let this be!

But he was dumbfounded–flabbergasted–as he saw them kiss. Han Xi even dared to pull her towards him when he has a girlfriend!

He wanted right here and then to pull her away. He liked to scream, to shout, to voice out all of his frustrations as he saw this scene right in front of him, but Liam knew if he would, she would hate him.

’I need to leave… I need to leave, or else I won’t help myself!’

Liam’s feet were planted on the ground as if it were the roots of a plant. He gritted his teeth as he tried his best to turn his body for him not to look at them having their moment. He then rushed to the elevator, and the moment its doors closed, his glassy eyes released his tears, making his vision blurry as he put his hand over his eyes to cover his face.

Liam silently sobbed as he waited for the elevator to stop at the first floor, where he promised to wait for Ying Sheng. His body felt cold, and his body couldn’t stop trembling as his sorrow took a toll on his body. The moment the doors opened, the other clients of the hotel furrowed their brows when they saw the man’s red eyes, wondering why he was crying. 

Shaking himself from his thoughts, Liam cleared his throat as he quickly made past the crowd that was waiting outside, “E-excuse me..”

Liam strode towards the male restroom. The moment he entered, he quickly washed his face with cold water, making some parts of his shirt wet because of how he rushed to wash the tears away from his face. The moment he raised his body from the sink, he saw his reflection on the mirror before him, his eyes staring back on his own. 

’Ying Sheng loves Han Xi, Liam… she loves him,’ he thought as he talked to his reflection with his mind. ‘But even though she loves him, I won’t give up… ever.’

Ying Sheng asked him to stay. He promised her that he needed five months, and he would do just that. The kiss that they shared may have surprised him–it may have made him waver for a second about his feelings towards her, almost scaring him.

But he knew he had to man-up. He knew that to win a woman’s, one must continue to fight if he wanted her to love him. 

It made him remember what he read when he was browsing the internet. Not all the things found on the internet were true and correct, but it was relatable. 

He read that the reason why men would be the ones courting women was that women are fickle-minded. Men can make women change their minds, which is why it was always men that would make the efforts to win the lady’s heart. 

His grip on the sink tightened as he kept staring at his pathetic self, who was crying moments ago. He scoffed, then he stared right back in his own eyes reflected on the mirror as if challenging himself. 

”The real challenge is about to begin, Liam,” he said to himself, mustering up his confidence. “Keep it together. Ying Sheng needs you.”

With that, he heaved a sigh as he stepped outside the male’s restroom and went back on his seat where he had been with Ying Sheng moments ago. 

The moment he sat down, his heart raced nervously as the thought of them being for a long time worried him. He promised himself seconds ago to be confident but now that he came back and there was still no sign of them, his heart sank, wondering if things had gone great between them. 

’What if that happened? What if it did happen great between them? Would Ying Sheng throw me away? Would she no longer need me? Would I have no chance at all?’

Liam’s lips turned into a tight line as he stared blankly at the empty glass on the table. 

”No,” he mumbled to himself only he could hear. “Stop thinking negatively, Liam, and wait for what’s to come. Only then will you decide on what you’re going to do next,” he spoke to himself, familiar footsteps now sounding closer as he instinctively turned his head to look at where it came.
