31 Proposals Too Late Chapter 03
She aimed the gun at him once more.
But this time, Tyron did not give her a chance to fire and easily removed the magazine.
The vicious slap left Katniss’s palm burning and numb.
Tyron pressed his lips together and stood there, looking as if he would accept any beating or scolding.
“Is that enough? You can hit me on this side too!” A flicker of struggle appeared in his eyes.
“I’ve wronged you, Katy, but can we talk when we get back? Let me take her to the hospital first.”
His tone, gaze, and speech sounded all too familiar.
“I’ve wronged you, Katy.”
Tyron did not wait for her to answer and simply lifted Anastasia.
He brushed past Katniss, who was in the way, and strode forward.
Somehow, this suddenly made her think of Tyron’s first betrayal.
Back then, Katniss worked tirelessly to secure her authority over the Mexican black market for Tyron.
While she was recovering, he seemed determined to pamper her completely, even personally feeding her during mealtimes.
But then, he casually called out, “Ana.”
Something caught in Katniss’ throat, and she could neither swallow nor spit it out.
“Who’s Ana?”
The stiffness in Tyron’s smile deepened as he replied nonchalantly, “She’s the new girl in charge of the cooking.”
What he failed to mention was that Anastasia would only cook for him.
Soon, he began talking about her more and more often.
That was until he betrayed her the second time.
Katniss had brought Leon back to her hometown to visit his grandmother.
Leon’s fever would not break, and she could not reach Tyron no matter how many times she called. In a moment of desperation, she rushed back to Dallas on a red-eye flight.
After a whole night of turmoil, she went home and discovered two naked, bare bodies entangled together in the throes of sex!
The wave of lust hit her like a heavy blow to the head.
Tyron took her hand and slapped his own face with it, then grabbed a knife and stabbed his thigh, bright red blood spilling instantly.
“I’ve wronged you, Katy,” he said.
“Please give me another chance. She reminds me so much of you back then that I mistook her for you. Katy, please don’t leave me! I can’t live without you!”
He swore he would send Anastasia away and never see her again for the rest of his life.
After more than ten years together, both of them were covered in scars, long unable to tell how many times they had been wounded for each other.
Katniss endured the pain and gave him one more chance.
But what she got was Tyron’s betrayal again, and the loss of her own flesh and blood!
In truth, he never sent Anastasia away. He simply found a place to hide her instead.
Little did he know that Anastasia was actually the sister of his sworn enemy.
Their beautiful first meeting was, in truth, a long-planned revenge.
That revenge ultimately fell upon Katniss’ three-year-old son.
Before Leon died, all ten of his fingers were severed, and he suffered inhuman abuse.
His greatest wish was for them to reconcile.
In the next life, he hoped to be reborn into a family with parents who loved each other…
The club was cleared out, and Katniss’ numb legs felt as heavy as lead.
She was going to let Leon down.
Tyron was not worthy of being her husband, much less Leon’s father.
In the middle of the night, Tyron dragged his exhausted body and lay down on the bed without even washing up.
He wrapped his arms tightly around Katniss’s waist, as if trying to engulf her whole, making her knit her brows in pain.
Before she could struggle, he said in a hoarse voice, “Anastasia was pregnant with my child once.”
