The Woman From Hell
Chapter 155

Chapter 155

"I only want to protect you. Trust me, Grayson Louis is no saint."

I looked at Tyler and scoffed. "How do you expect me t o believe you? In my eyes, all of you are thesame, you're demons from hell."

He sighed. "Whatever you say, then. But you have to go with me now, or they'll destroy you."

My mood could not get any worse. I looked at him and blurted out, "Can you just leave me alone?I’d rather be destroyed by them than follow you back and be destroyed by you once more. TylerSchuman, it's been so many years. Why won't you let me go? Let's live our own lives. Wouldn’t thatbe great? Why do you have to appear once again and want to pull me back into the days filled withdarkness?"

Tyler looked at me and finally spoke after a long pause, "That's because we share the same fate.We were both abandoned, so only we can ignite each other’s lives."

A sharp pain overcame my chest. It was as if someone had stabbed me, forcefully wiggled the knifeseveral times, and there was blood everywhere. It was a gory sight to behold. 1

All these years, I had been trying my best not to think back on the past. Just when I thought I hadforgotten everything, Tyler Schuman not only reappeared in my life but he was also forcing me torelive everything. He was tearing open the wounds that had started healing until they were exposedin the open again. 1

He was right, I was abandoned.

I was only six months old when I was abandoned in the village dumpster on a cold winter night. Theone who abandoned me had no intention for me to live since I only had a thin blanket around mewhen they left me on the ground and disappeared.

Perhaps it was not my time to go yet, because among the piles of trash, a crippled woman who waspicking up the trash witnessed everything.

When the person who abandoned me left, she hobbled over and picked me up. This kind personwas the mother who brought me up.

At that time, my little face was red from the cold weather, and I was on the brink of death. It was mymother who carried me home and placed me by the fire for the entire night. She used the moneyshe got from collecting trash to buy milk powder so she could feed me. It was my mother whobrought me back from the depths of hell.

The next day, I was brought to the police station. Unfortunately, there were no orphanages in thevillage. When the village policemen wanted to send m e to the orphanage in the city, I cried loudlyas I clung tightly to my mother.

It was this act that allowed my and my mother's fate t o intertwine for 20 years.

She was already crippled and was relying on collecting trash to earn a living. After she adopted me,she disregarded her injured leg and began working at a little workshop in town so that I would havefood to eat and warm clothes to wear. Manual labor was the only thing she could do at that time.

Times were hard, but those days were the happiest days of my life.

Ten years passed in a blink. As my mother worked day and night, her body could not take manuallabor any longer.

One year, my mother agreed to raise the workshop supplier's illegitimate son on the condition thatthe supplier financed my studies.

This meant that from that day onward, my mother had to take care of two abandoned children-TylerSchuman and myself.

I was ten years old that year, while Tyler was 13. When Tyler was brought back, I was happy,thinking that I had gotten myself a big brother.

Little did I know, that was the beginning of my nightmare.

I found out that Tyler's father was already married and lived in Whaldorf City. When he came towork in our town, he had Tyler with a factory worker.

Initially, Tyler was under his mother’s care and they would get financial assistance from his father.

Everything was dandy. Alas, his mother passed away from an illness and his father did not dare tobring him to Whaldorf. Hence, he could only pay my mother to take Tyler in.

When Tyler knew about it, he burst into a rage. He became rebellious, ruthless, and cruel. When hecame t o our house, he deliberately destroyed everything in a n attempt to get his father's attention.

In the beginning, he burnt down our kitchen. Then, he poisoned our cat and dog. The supplier didnot give much of a response and merely paid my mother to get things settled. He did not care aboutTyler.

Slowly, Tyler gave up hoping and became increasingly ruthless. I was the target he vented out on.

He locked me in the cellar, pushed me into a pond, brought me into the deep of the woods, placedpoisonous snakes in my bag and on my bed...
