Nemesis Game

Chapter 2 A Life for a Life

What she said angered Ruben. His eyes were turning red and the veins on his hand were popping. She

would die at any moment!

Just when she thought that she was going to die, Peyton appeared next to them.

“Ruben, let go. Don’t hurt Samantha.” Peyton acted like she was worried as she pulled Ruben’s hand

away, “I owe her this and I have to apologize to her.”

The frigidness in Ruben’s eyes dissipated seeing Peyton. He finally let go of Samantha, who was half-

dead.

Samantha fell onto the ground embarrassingly and tried to take in deep breaths. Her sight was dark

and blurry.

She coughed violently and glared at Peyton, “You owe me! You owe me everything and you should

trade my life for your life!”

She was tortured in prison. Her voice cord was damaged, her arm was disabled, and these people

were acting under Peyton’s order!

And here she was acting like she was an angel. Disgusting!

Ruben’s eye dimmed and he looked at her coldly.

“Do you want to die, Samantha?”

“I’m not deaf yet, no need to yell.” She looked down and tried to hide her tears.

Peyton’s face turned pale. She went up to help Samantha up, “The floor is cold, let’s stand up.”

Samantha looked up and she smirked, “Get away from me, you disgust me!”

Peyton dug her nails into her arm and the expression in her eyes was venomous.

Samantha frowned. She endured the pain and pushed Peyton away.

Before she could react, Peyton stumbled backwards and fell onto the ground. She cried in pain.

A piece of shard cut her finger and Peyton wailed in pain.

Samantha scoffed at her acting. It was just a small wound.

But Ruben looked worried and he quickly went up to Peyton.

“Ruben, it was my fault. I wasn’t standing properly!” Peyton snuggled into his arms, crying a river.

Samantha’s pupil contracted, she went up to them.

“Are you saying that I pushed you?”

She laughed.

Ruben pushed away Samantha harshly seeing that Peyton’s finger was bleeding.

“Samantha, you are a disgusting person. Peyton is adopted, but she is still your sister!” said Ruben as

he glared at her sternly.

“I have no sister who steals her sister’s husband. I don’t know such whore!” Samantha looked at them

in disdain and tried to stand up by supporting herself with the wall.

Ruben got angry and slapped her, interrupting her speech.

The atmosphere froze up and the air in the large restaurant turned wintry. So cold that it was hard to

breathe.

Samantha heard ringing in her ears. Her cheek swelled up and she could taste blood in her mouth.

Her face felt numb.

She wanted to cry but her eyes were so dry they hurt. There weren’t any tears left to cry.

Ruben’s hand was left hanging in the air. He was shocked and his hand tensed up.

Samantha looked at his cold yet sorrowful eyes. Behind her tears was a gulf of despair.

His breathing stopped without any omen.

“Ruben, she hated me because I made her go to jail. She is right to hate me!” Peyton looked at

Samantha, she was smiling anther as if she was telling her that she had won.

As if he was Peyton’s puppet on a string, Ruben acted according to her plan and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

bring you to the hospital.”

Samantha licked the blood on her lips and walked in front of him, stopping him in his tracks, “No! It’s

just a small cut on her finger, she isn’t going to die!”

Ruben looked at her coldly and wanted to kill her, “Get out of my way!”

“I’m your wife, today is my…” Samantha wasn’t letting him pass.

Before she could finish your sentence, he kicked her out of his way, “Fuck off!”

Samantha stumbled and fell onto the couch table.

Her forehead hit the edge of the table and she felt dizzy. She touched the wound on her forehead with

her finger and saw blood.

She struggled to stand, and her sight got blurry. She closed her eyes and fainted.

The moment she fainted, she cried. She cried like a madman.

She had injuries all over her, but he didn’t notice her pain.

Peyton got a small cut on her finger and he was all over her. Today was Peyton’s birthday, but did he

remember that today was also her birthday?

“Today is also my birthday!”
