Chapter 10
Her words sent a jolt through me, but I quickly regained my composure.
“Randell, I’ve already died once. Just pretend that I really did die, and let’s let each other go,” I said coldly.
“No!” he said, his head snapping up.
“I can’t, Jules. Even if you hate me or resent me-you can even hit me or yell at me-please don’t tell me you’re really gone. I’m begging you, please come back to me,” he said, his voice laced with desperation.
My chest tightened in pain, but I only answered him calmly, “Randell, the person you wanted was never me. We never should’ve been together.”
He shook his head, his voice filled with conviction. “That’s not true. I made mistakes then. I was too
stupid. It was only until you left that I realized how important you were to me.”
When May saw that Randell was completely ignoring her, she suddenly grabbed a chair before lunging at
“Just die, Julia!”
It happened all too quickly. Before I could even react, Randell was suddenly standing in front of me and
taking the brunt of the blow for me.
He let out a heavy groan before falling onto the floor.
“Stop!” Damon yelled as he rushed over and planted himself in front of me.
Randell’s assistant and bodyguards swiftly subdued May, but she continued to struggle and yell like a
lunatic.
“Randy, you’re still protecting her? Aren’t you worried that she and that guy have already-”
As Randell got up from the floor, his cold gaze swept over her. He interrupted her before she could finish,”
May, from this moment on, I don’t want to hear another word from you.”
His words were filled with such a chill that May momentarily froze before she started thrashing around
again.
The assistant and bodyguards hurriedly dragged her out, and peace finally returned to the studio.
Randell turned around, his gaze falling on Damon who was still standing protectively in front of me.
