Chapter 3 That night , Mara mysteriously disappeared . [ ] Kieran burst into my room in the middle of the night , eyes blazing as he grabbed my throat . " Where's Mara ? What did you do with her ? " ] " I already agreed to marry you - why are you still going after her ? " ] " She's scared of the dark . How's she supposed to handle being alone at night without me ? " ] I was startled but quickly got my bearings . ] " Are you insane ? Mara's disappearance has nothing to do with me ! " ] ] Kieran's face was dark with fury , his eyes bloodshot . " Who else could it be ? " ] " You're jealous that Mara and I are close . You're scared I'll back out , so you had someone kidnap her , didn't you ? " [ ] " Please , just bring her back . Mara's injuries haven't healed yet . Once we get married , I'll send her away ! " ] I shoved his hands away and said coldly , " Kieran , I didn't choose you . You can be with whoever you want - that's your business ! " " Mara's disappearance has absolutely nothing to do with me , whether you believe it or " If you keep acting crazy in my room in the middle of the night , I'm telling Dad ! " ] Sure enough , that threat worked . [ ] Kieran didn't dare make another move and left immediately . [ ] He seemed terrified something might happen to Mara . [ ] not ! " The next morning , Kieran returned carrying Mara in his arms . She clung to him looking disheveled , as if she'd been through hell that night . ] His face was grim as he walked straight up to me . " Riley , if you've got beef with me , take it out on me , okay ? Why do you keep messing with Mara ? " " If you keep this up , I definitely won't marry you ! " [ ] With that , he carried Mara away without looking back . ] I watched him go with a cold smile . In my past life , I'd actually died for this idiot , What a waste . [ ] That evening , Mara came to my room on her own . [ ] She looked at me with pure resentment and asked , " You were reborn too , weren't you ? " ] = 4 Under the lamplight . Mara's face twisted with jealousy , her eyes filled with venom . [ ] " Why do all the good things happen to you ? " ] Her chest heaved violently , as if she'd been holding in lifetimes of bitterness and rage . " You're the golden child , the Cortez family princess . You were born with everything - power , wealth , influence . " ] " And me ? I'm just the housekeeper's daughter , living under someone else's roof my whole life , always watching people's faces for approval . " ] ] " The only thing I had was Kieran's love . " ] Her voice cracked with tears . [ ] " So , why did you have to take that away from me too ? Riley , you already have so much - why are you so greedy ? " ] " If it wasn't for you , why would Kieran suddenly change his mind ? " ] " Just now . Kieran told me he's sending me overseas ! " ] ] She grabbed my arms with both hands , her eyes swirling with something dark : " I won't give up ! " ] Suddenly , she lunged forward and pulled me with her as she jumped over the second - floor balcony railing . My body hit the ground and I felt like all my organs had shifted . [ ] The pain was unbearable . ] Mara let out an even more agonized moan . [ ] Soon . Dad's sons came rushing out . ] ] Kieran saw the scene and immediately slapped me across the face in rage ! ] The next second , several guys pinned him to the ground as he screamed at me with bloodshot eyes . [ ] " Riley , what the hell are you trying to do ? " ] " What did Mara ever do wrong ? Why do you keep torturing her like this ? When will you stop ? " ] I held my cheek and looked at Kieran without saying a word . [ ] The other guys hurried to cover Kieran's mouth : " Shut up , man ! If Dad comes out and sees you like this , you're screwed ! " [ ] " Kieran , you need to get out of here and lay low . Come back after Riley's birthday party - you seriously need to cool down !
