Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Make Me Cry

'Don't love her anymore?' Ivy felt something breaking inside her. She didn't dare to open her eyes.

So Silas had long ago given up on her...

Maybe in her previous life, he only saved her because that was the last amount of mercy he could give her.

'Come on, Ivy... don't act like a victim. You weren't one to begin with! You were vicious, unlovable, dumb, and even a jinx. Who in their right mind will love you? Only Silas was foolish enough to fall for you because of a stupid rescue you did in your childhood. But now... even he said he doesn't love you... You should be happy, right? Now he won't die protecting you if you just push him a bit.'

Ivy felt a bitter taste in her mouth, followed by a wave of dizziness. She felt as if someone was squeezing her heart tightly.

A lump formed in her throat, her feet turned cold, and she felt a chill in her body.

Ivy truly underestimated the love she held for Silas. However, at this moment, she realized it... she realized how much weight Silas carried in her heart.

Isla's stunned voice echoed in the living room,

"What? You don't?"

Silas indifferently looked at Isla, 

"Yes. So ask your daughter to stay away from me, and you all too, don't come near me. Earlier, I ignored you all on Ivy's behalf, but now... I will not spare you all."

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Silas's eyes, scaring all the members of the Ravencroft.

They knew. Silas never was merciful. He had let them go time and time again purely because of Ivy.

But now...

Isla exchanged a glance with her parents who blinked back at her. Taking a deep breath, she walked up to Silas. At this point, she was trying her best not to shake with excitement.

Who was Silas? The most promising talent in the world of business and the military.

At the tender age of 14, he had built his own empire worth billions of dollars! When even that wasn't enough, he left his empire to his parents and joined the military.

By the age of 20, he became the youngest captain in the military!

Such an individual was destined to soar in the sky. As long as she, Isla, seduces Silas and becomes his wife, won't she live a luxurious life when this zombie apocalypse is over?

With a sway of her hips, Isla walked up to Silas and said in a seductive voice,

"Then... how about using me to vent your anger? I can sleep with you every night to pay off my family's debt."

Silas calmly glanced at Isla and asked,

"Do you think I won't do it?"

Isla was excited, while Ivy felt as if her heart was being stabbed.

Silas was going to sleep, Isla? Why? 

These things didn't happen in her past life...

Ivy wanted to wake up and question Silas. She wanted to shout at Silas and ask how he could do it with her.

However, she was a coward. The reality was, she couldn't let go of the guilt she held from her past life.

Just like how she couldn't let go of her hate for all those who bullied her, she couldn't let go of the remorse she held for all those whom she had harmed.

Isla was excited and asked, "What can't you do? If you are a real man, you will do it."

She tried to provoke Silas.

Silas chuckled,

"If I do it, you might cry."

Ivy unconsciously clenched her fist. An urge to bite Silas started to rise in her heart. What was even more... she wanted to kill Isla.

Her aura slowly turned murderous

Unaware of the approaching danger, Isla almost jumped with excitement and stated,

"Do it then! I want to see how you will make me cry!"

Magnus and Seraphina wanted to compliment their daughter. She was indeed smart.

Magnus faked a cough,

"Since you youngsters want to discuss some matter, we won't interfere."

"No need to leave, Uncle Magnus, you must see it too." Silas stopped him, while Isla's face turned red.

Was Silas into voyeurism? She won't mind... but her parents might become uncomfortable.

"Silas, you naughty..." Isla began, however, before she could finish her sentence, she felt a stinging pain on her cheeks.

SLAP.

"Ahhh!" Isla crashed into the table with the force that her ribs were almost broken. Tears pooled in her eyes, and she groaned in pain.

"Are you an idiot! Why did you slap me?" Isla shouted in a furious voice.

"Weren't you the one who asked me to do it?" Silas asked in an equally confused voice. "I even kindly reminded you that you will cry. You were the one who was insistent on wanting to cry."
