Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 604 The Ultimate Sacrifice For Love (Part Four)

Her face turned ashen. Spark felt her sway and kept his right hand on her back to steady her. Molly looked at Brian's indifferent face and what happened on QY Island ran through her mind. She couldn't believe how quickly things had changed. The man before her looked like a stranger. Molly could no longer read Brian's thoughts. What happened to them seemed like a mockery now. She thought Brian still loved her, but she was wrong. Eyes red, she declared, "I don't care what you do to me. But you have no right to take Mark away from me. Please don't involve him in this whole business. I want to see him now!" Molly was now yelling at Brian. "Do you know Mark is my everything? I will do anything to protect him. I can't live without him. Now, you steal him away from me. He's sick. His body is weak. How could you do this to him? You are so cold and cruel!"

But Brian's expression remained inscrutable. He stood up and approached Molly slowly. She felt a powerful vibe emanate from the man that forced her and Spark to step back. His tone was sharp as he mocked, "Mol, I want to thank you for playing the love game with me these past several days. It must have been hard, but you did an excellent job. I have to commend you for being a good mom. Now, I want to see how much better you are as a mother. Please prove it to me," he challenged.

Molly couldn't read Brian's face. His words puzzled Spark. They couldn't make heads nor tails of what he was saying. So Spark asked, "What do you mean, Brian?"

There was a hint of a smile in Brian's mouth, but his expression remained aloof. He glanced at Spark's right hand which rested on Molly's back and ordered, "Let go of her."

Spark felt Brian's fury. The vibe from him was so powerful that the tension around them had become so intense. He let go of Molly. Clenching her fists, Molly said, "Brian, I'm not the only one pretending. Like me, you were also pretending. You did so much for me but only because you wanted to put me in a very awkward position. You wanted to make me look like a fool!" she said with disdain.

Brian was unmoved by her words, but he noted that Molly's countenance was more anger than sorrow. She thought Brian played her once again. He stroked the necklace around her neck, then touched the Firefly Stone that shone brightly there. With a smirk, he challenged, "I'm giving you one more chance to see if you will again fail in this love game. "You see, Molly, you never let me down because you fail again and again."

His words cut through her. It stung that Brian managed to play her again. Molly thought the man had changed, but she was wrong. The urge to slap him was so strong that she raised her hand and was ready to swing. But Brian was faster and caught her hand in a grip. He grabbed her wrist so hard she felt it would break. But no matter how painful it was, there was no cry of anguish from her. She would never show weakness in front of Brian.

"Brian Long, let go of her! You're hurting her!" Spark yelled. His fists clenched as he watched the two. It broke his heart to see Molly in pain. When Spark tried to grab Molly to pull her away from Brian, Tony suddenly emerged and stopped him with a kick to the stomach. Grunting in pain, Spark staggered and fell back.

Mortified, Molly attempted to break free to help Spark. "Are you okay?" she asked worriedly. Pupils dilated, Spark moaned in pain. Not content to hurt her, Brian turned on those who cared about Molly as well. She screamed at Brian, too shocked by his brutality. "Have you gone completely insane, Brian Long? What do you think you're doing?"

With contempt in his eyes, Brian flung Molly's arm, so she stumbled back and fell. Looking at the woman, Brian growled, "Don't try to test my limits. You're playing with fire." Then he turned to Spark, who was still cowering on the ground. "Don't mess with my girl even though I don't love her anymore!" he warned. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

There was a trickle of blood on Spark's mouth. Brian stared at him and angrily said, "You better stay away from her, or you could get into trouble."

With the back of his hand, he wiped the blood from his mouth. Spark's eyes widened in fury. He scowled at Brian and yelled, "I won't leave her because you treat her horribly. I will stay with Molly to defend her."

Brian sneered, "If you insist on staying with her, you're on your own. And I am not kidding." His face was unreadable. Then he tugged Molly's hand, and because of inertia, she fell into his arms. Before she could disengage herself from his arms, Brian held on to her tight.

Then he pressed his lips to hers and kissed her hard.

His kiss was as cold as stone and emotionless. Brian only wanted to show that Molly was his. Spark couldn't take her away. Molly tried to push him away, but he held her so tight the girl couldn't move. He laid his hand on Molly's head to further restrain her.

While Brian humiliated Molly, Spark stood watching helplessly. He should be protecting her not watching him further demean the girl. Anger simmered inside him. His eyes were becoming red as a flame seemed to leap inside his chest. He opened his mouth and roared then tried to jump on Brian, but Tony was too quick for him and kicked his butt.

He fell to the ground and was looking more and more miserable by the minute. He wanted to protect Molly but was too weak to do so. She looked at him in horror, appalled by what she saw. Quietly, she sobbed. Although worried about Spark, Molly was also concerned about Brian. All of a sudden, she realized everything had changed. It all changed after Brian started to trust Becky. She could still hear Spark moaning in agony. As Molly opened her mouth to speak, she tasted blood. His blood, after she bit his lips when he kissed her. Molly inhaled deeply, and felt her insides quiver as she tried to assimilate all that was happening around her.

Finally, Brian let go of Molly. His tongue traced the cut in his lip and tasted his blood. "If you dare approach him, I will break one of his fingers," he threatened.

She stopped in her tracks. Molly didn't want to see Brian hurt Spark anymore. Instead, she glared at him, her eyes shooting fire. For the first time she was filled with white-hot rage, yet couldn't do anything about it. Molly conceded she was caught in Brian's web completely.

"I actually meant to play this love game with you for several more days. But I didn't expect you to lose so early in the game," Brian mocked. He ran a finger on Molly's lips and felt his blood there. "Don't even think about leaving me," Brian growled. "or I will harm the people who matter to you. Do you understand?"

The familiar sneer in his face was back. Brian's eyes turned dark and deep. Before turning to leave, he said, "John will come to pick you up soon. I have a request. During the day, you can go out to work. But at night, you will not be allowed to leave. You must stay at my villa."

His tone was as cold as his attitude. As Brian turned to leave, even his back appeared indifferent. Molly gaped at Brian's departing back. Spark was still on the ground, looking miserable.

Once inside the car, Tony quickly drove off. When the hospital was out of sight, Brian took a deep breath and allowed himself to feel miserable. He had hurt Molly again but only to protect her and Mark. Brian had no other options. He looked out the window as the car traveled farther and farther away from the hospital. He tried to catch a glimpse of Molly, but couldn't see her.

His phone rang, and he shook himself out of the reverie to answer. The voice from the other end of the line said, "We found some of their people in the hospital. We didn't startle them as you ordered."

Brian's eyes turned dark. He hung up then made another call. On the other end, a husky and happy voice answered, "I'll be at the cafe right across the street from Grand Night Casino in half an hour.

I will see you there," Brian heard the other person say.
