Attracted By My Ex-wife

Kim's face broke into an ecstatic grin. He looked as if Anne's pain and sufferings were the greatest achievements of his life.

Anne's eyes were fixed on Colin's pale face. She saw Brandon walking to the man and pressing a knife on his neck. Colin remained still without showing any reaction. Brandon sneered and grabbed Colin's hand. Before Anne could react, he stabbed the man's hand with the knife. Colin cried in pain.

A pool of blood gushed out. The mere sight of it made Anne sick; she couldn't watch it anymore.

How could they torture Colin like this?

"How do you feel now? Does it hurt?" Kim asked, glaring at him. "This is just the beginning!"

Colin was the first one Kim targeted in order to revenge himself on Anne. If the man had tortured Colin so much, what would he do to the rest?

Anne couldn't watch the people she loved and cared for suffer. Kim targeted all the closed ones in her life. She couldn't stop blaming herself if everyone suffered because of her.

Salty tears trickled down her cheeks and fell into her mouth.

Unable to witness Kim's madness anymore, Anne turned back and smiled at him. "Kim, I am here! You can do whatever you want. Kill me if you want, but stop hurting the people around me. Release Colin. He is innocent. I'm the one who hurt and disobeyed you, so kill me instead!"

she roared in frustration.

However, her screams got muffled in loud music from the speakers downstairs. No one had a clue about what was going on.

Kim looked at her expressionlessly. He enjoyed watching the desperation and sorrow in her eyes. The man finally tasted the joy of revenge and wanted more. "Anne, you look so beautiful when you are angry. It turns me on."

Kim got a strange sense of happiness watching her suffer. He wanted to drag Anne to hell and relish every inch of her beauty when she screamed and cried.

'Anne, I have been in hell for a long time. It is time for you to accompany me!'

"What do you want me to do? Tell me! What the hell do you need from me?" Anne grabbed Kim's collar and began shaking him violently. "What should I do so that you leave us alone?"

Kim knitted his brows and stared into her eyes. He didn't think that Anne would be stupid enough to believe that he would let her go.

How would he be happy if he didn't get to torture her?

"It's too late. Everything is over. We have no chance to start over, Anne. So stop struggling!" Kim hissed through his teeth. His bloodshot eyes and tense face frightened Anne. He grabbed her shoulder, almost crushing her bones.

The sharp pain brought Anne back to her senses. But she had become numb. She stood motionless as the man continued to stare at her.

"Anne, do you really want to protect the people around you?" Kim finally spoke after a long pause.

Anne's gaze flicked to the man. There was a spark of hope in her tired eyes. She nodded eagerly. "Yes. I am ready to do anything if you let them go!"

Nothing mattered as long as the people around her were safe. She was ready to risk her own life to protect her loved ones.

"What if I ask you to give up everything in A City and come with me somewhere far from this place and its people?" Kim's voice was still as cold as before.
