Chapter 247 Mutual Torment
Susan glared at Seb, resentment clear in her eyes, while Seb's look was complicated but still affectionate.
"Why do you always mess up my life? What do you want?" Susan snapped.
She was already happy with George. She hadn't forgotten Seb, but she'd moved on. Why couldn't he just leave her alone?
"Because you're the mother of my child, because I..." Seb's eyes were sad.
"Enough!" Susan cut him off. She didn't want to hear it.
"You don't deserve to be a father. Spring is mine—no, she's George's and mine now. We're getting married after New Year's. Stay away and stop ruining our lives!" Susan shouted.
Seb's face twisted with jealousy and anger.
"I told you, you're mine for life. I won't let you marry someone else. And Spring is my daughter; she has my blood. I won't let her call anyone else 'Dad'!" Seb looked furious, veins bulging.
"How dare you call yourself Spring's father? You caused her premature birth. You're a monster!" Susan's hatred made her fists clench.
Seb stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders. "I had my reasons!"
"Your reason is you're insane!" Susan yelled.
"Susan, calm down and listen to me," Seb pleaded, his voice strained.
"You can't control me. Let go!" Susan glared.
"Just listen!" Seb's patience was wearing thin.
When Seb wouldn't let go, Susan pulled out her phone to call George.
Seeing George's name on the screen, Seb lost it and snatched the phone.
Holding the phone in one hand and gripping Susan's shoulder with the other, Seb shouted, "You think I'll be scared if George comes? He's my brother and still has feelings for you. He's the real monster!"
With that, he threw the phone to the floor, smashing it.
"Seb, are you crazy?" Susan was heartbroken and furious. This wasn't the first time he'd destroyed something.
"How long have you and George been together? Are you living together? Have you slept with him?" Seb pressed Susan against the wall, jealousy making him lose it.
Susan's built-up resentment exploded. She sneered, "Seb, how immature can you be to ask such dumb questions? George and I are adults. What do you think?"
"You're asking for it." Seb punched the wall next to her ear, the sound making Susan's heart race.
Unfazed, Susan pushed back, "Being with George, I've found a happiness that's incomparable. We just click in every way. His presence fills me with a joy I've never experienced before," she added pointedly, aiming to cut Seb deep.
Seb's face twisted in pain. "Whatever happiness George gives you, I can give you more," he said, then kissed her hard.
Susan's cutting words faded as the punishing kiss left a metallic taste in her mouth. Feeling the sting of her lip, a mix of shame and fury surged through her.In a panic, Susan fought back, kicking his leg and landing blows on his shoulders and face, but Seb, consumed by a frenzied intensity, only pressed harder, trapping her against the wall and tugging at her coat.Susan panicked. This was a public restroom. She couldn't endure this humiliation again, especially with George in her life now. If Seb assaulted her here, she couldn't face George.
Desperate, she remembered something in her bag. She had bought a fruit knife during lunch to replace a broken one. Now, it might save her.
With trembling hands, she reached into her bag, hoping to find the knife and escape this nightmare.
