The CEO’s Surrogate Wife

Chapter 761 Unable to Promise

Yeah. She's living a life that's worse than death anyway. So why did she have to live in this world to suffer this torture? She really should die.

Because Aaron's death makes her feel like there is no point in living in this world. So why is she still living in this world?

While Richard is now in the shower, Aileen supports herself with her hands and slowly sits up in bed. As a result, she sees a woman with disheveled hair in the mirror.

She doesn't expect that the woman in the mirror who looks like she's been through all the vicissitudes of life to be herself. She can hardly recognize such a frightening appearance of herself. The way she looks now is just too terrifying. She doesn't know why she's become this.

She knows all of this because she's been blinded by hatred. She never should have gone to save Richard. She never should have gone to her brother for mercy. Now that she has gotten herself into this situation, she hurts every day. She is even more like a lunatic now. What is the difference between her and a psycho now? And the only thing worse than being a psychopath is that she still has to endure the destruction that man inflicted on her every day.

Aileen doesn't even want to be in this place right now. Right. She needs to find a way to get out of this place quickly. She can be free of all of this as soon as she leaves that man. It's just that she's really powerless right now. She really wants to die once and for all. But she is also scared of what will happen to Aaron after she dies. If Aaron is cheating on her, wouldn't that make Aaron sad if she died? She doesn't want to be apart from him anymore. She has to figure it all out. So she picks up a shirt and puts it on in a hurry.

Just as she tries to walk out the door, she is grabbed by Richard, who comes out of the bathroom.

Richard grabs her by the hands and ties her to the bed with a rope.

Aileen shouts at him, "What are you doing? Get off me now!" Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

"You want to go after that man now? I will not give you what you want. I'm telling you. You can only live within the confines of my world for the rest of your life. Don't you ever think of leaving me for half a step!" Richard was like a mad bison now. He was so irrational in all his words. And he was so overbearing and arrogant that she even felt a little scary.

This man in front of her is just too terrifying and domineering. She used to be so eager to be with this man. But now she feels that one more second with him is a torment, and it makes her hurt like hell.

"I'm begging you. Please let me go." Aileen feels like she's long overdue for anything else now. She just wants to get away from the man in front of her as soon as possible. Because she doesn't have as much energy for this kind of suffering anymore.

Richard, however, pinches her chin in his hand, "Didn't I just tell you. I'm never going to let you leave me for the rest of your life. Have you forgotten the agreement we signed at the hospital? You said you'd never leave me in this life, so I'm not going to let you break the promise the two of us have made."

He speaks in such a gentle tone, but every word he utters deeply hurts Aileen's heart. Hearing those words of his is nothing less than hard for her. Because those words of his are a constant reminder to her that she is to blame for all of this, and that she has brought this on herself.

Aileen has unspoken regrets in her mind right now. She doesn't know why she was so delirious to make such a bad decision back then. If she has known that things would turn out like this, then she would never have had anything to do with the big devil in front of her. Revenge or anything else doesn't really matter. The most important thing to her now is to stay with the person she loves for a long time.

Why does she have to be so stubborn back then? Why does she have to figure all of this out after Aaron uses his death to irritate her?

"I'm begging you. Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it. But I'm begging you, let go of me, okay?" Aileen knows she can't be strong against the man in front of her, so she'll have to resort to pleading. She hopes that by pleading so groveling in front of him, she can get him to say yes in return.

"Don't you think it's too late for you to be telling me these things?" Richard, on the other hand, is deliberately provocative.

By now Aileen is already in tears because she doesn't know how to fix these things anymore. She really wants Aaron or her brother to suddenly appear and take her away. She wants to leave this so- called sad place. But it seems like there's no one left to save her now because it's all her own choice. And now does she get what she deserves?

Is this God's punishment for her? Is God going to let the man in front of her torment her for the rest of her life?

This time she really knows she is wrong. If time can be turned back, she would never have done that. Only now is there really nothing she can do about it?

Aileen is in agony. The tears in her eyes are like broken pearls that keep pouring out like strings.

Such a small detail is naturally seen by Richard.

Crying?

She actually cries, and she is so brokenhearted. Even her voice is so sad. Does he really break her heart because of what he has said?

"I'm begging you. Just let me go ... as long as you let me go, whether you want me to be your slave or whatever, I'll do it." Aileen keeps repeating these words intermittently.

Richard can also hear that Aileen really wants to leave now. But when he thinks of her leaving him, he becomes angry. Because the thought of the woman in front of him leaving him for another man makes him feel like a fire is burning fiercely in his chest. It seems like this fire is about to burn his heart. So he absolutely will not allow this to happen.

"You don't need to keep pleading with me because I'm never going to grant you this."

His words are like a bucket of cold water that pours from Aileen's head to her feet.

Aileen suddenly feels so cold that she almost can't speak. Because she seems to see no hope in life.

She just wants to go to the hospital now. She just wants to get to the bottom of the whole thing. Why can't she even make this simple wish come true?
