The Villain's Wife (Book 2)

"You - You are choosing to side with her?"

He immediately scowled at her words. "What are you talking about?"

"Why would you not do something to avenge me?"

Kai shook his head, helplessness apparent in his eyes. "Nancy- You should stop this nonsense."

"Or what?" Tears started streaming in her eyes. "Kai... I felt that - are you regretting marrying me instead of Jennie?" This was a question that had been bugging her since Jennie came back. "Are you? Was it because she is prettier than me now? She is more influential?"

"Nancy... you are tired. You should rest, sleep. I still needed to finish a lot of things for the upcoming board meeting."

"Does this mean that you really like her?"

"Nancy- "

"No! I want your answer! I want to hear your answer now! Did you regret marrying me? Did you regret everything that you did to hurt Jennie in the past? Answer me!"

"Yes!" Kai's lips trembled as he watched the sadness into his wife's face. "Nancy... I am tired!" He added. "I am tired of everything! I am tired of you always asking me these questions! I am tired of you wanting to become whatever it is that you could think of while ignoring our son! I am so tired of you... not trusting me!"

"You - You treacherous creature!" Nancy yelled before she threw her phone on the bookshelves behind his seat. The loud sound of her phone hitting the walls echoed inside the room, "You created me! You made me not trust you! You made me pregnant! You made me insecure about my body! You - it's you who made me this way!"

Kai's stared at Nancy's face for a few minutes before sighing. "I guess... marrying each other was really a mistake." He slumped into his leather chair, defeat apparent in his face.

"What did you say?" Nancy asked. "What did you just say?"

"You heard me, Nancy... We can't always act like this. We are already parents! We have a son, a life together! We have a future and yet you - You keep on drowning into your insecurities! Your jealousy!"

"What are you saying?" Nancy sobbed. "Did you forget what you did to me? Kai! You cheated on me with my cousin! You sleep with another woman!" She walked in front of his table. "You promise me you will only love me!"

"It was a mistake! Something that would never happen again! I thought - I thought we already move past this? I thought you already forgave me?"

"Forgive? It was so easy to say - "Tears continued to flow on her cheeks. "How could I forget? How could I forget killing someone for you!? Tell me? Kai? How could I forget that because of what you did... I killed my own cousin!?" She stared at her hands. "And now you are saying that you made a mistake? That you are regretting everything? You - How dare you!?"

"Nancy - "Slowly, his eyes turned gentle. "Can we at least... move on from this?" How could Nancy keep on bringing things like this up? "If you want to keep this relationship, then I believe we should forget about the past. Everything about it. It is best that we move on and just stop thinking about Nancy and Lisa. Let's focus on our life instead."

Despite his anger and regrets, Kai could not deny the fact that he loved Nancy. "Let's do our best to save this relationship, Nancy... this is for our own child." Nancy seemed to have ignored them when they didn't do something to offend her. So why not just continue avoiding her? They have avoided her for half a year now... isn't that an achievement on their part?

"So... you just wanted us to stay like this forever? Act like Jennie's slaves, working for her company while she earned all the profits? Kim Industries is supposed to be mind!" Nancy raged. She then recalled the things that her new friends told her earlier. "Kai! The only thing that would make me find peace is by taking everything that is supposed to be mine! That woman took everything from me! The business! My parents! My brother! Jennie took everything from me!"
