By the pool , the bodyguards shoved Bianca's head into the water as per Theodore's orders . Icy water rushed into her nose and mouth in an instant . She thrashed wildly , but it was useless . Her lungs burned , and her vision darkened , and just when she thought she was about to die , she was yanked back up . She coughed violently , gasping for air like her life depended on it . Before she could even beg for mercy , her head was shoved down again . After countless cycles , the bodyguard dragged the limp , barely conscious Bianca to Theodore's feet . She sprawled on the ground , coughing and choking uncontrollably . She looked up at his cold face , and despair . hollowed her out from within , As if there was nothing left to lose , she let out a sharp , maniacal laugh . With the last of her strength , she screamed , " Yes ! Yes ! I planned it all ! But Theodore Brooke , look me in the eye and ask yourself . Who really hurt Clarisse ? " Her voice cracked with rage and scorn . " Was I the one who fed her peanut butter ? Was I the one who forced you to choose us over her , over and over again ? " Was I the one who stood there while she was bullied and humiliated and just watched , convinced she was faking it all ? Was I the one who forced you to sign the agreement ? " Every knife that made her bleed has your fingerprints on it ! You're the real butcher , Theodore . The most hypocritical , cold - blooded one of all . Without your silence , who the hell am I ? " You're the one who threw Clarisse out of your world . You're the one who drove her away ! " She let out a wild , broken laugh . " You never truly loved her ! You're just like me , rotten to the core . That's why she left you ! You deserved to lose her ! " " Shut up ! " Theodore shot to his feet . His bloodshot eyes burned with fury , the kind that came when a person's deepest sins were dragged into the light . Bianca's words were the sharpest truth that sliced through the lies he made to escape from reality . He raised his foot and stomped down , hard , grinding her fingers into the ground . A piercing scream tore from her throat . He stared at her crumpled form and said , " Everything you did to Clarisse, I'll make you pay for it a thousandfold . As for what I did to her , I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to her ! " " The doctors said your body can't handle an abortion , right ? " A cruel smile tugged at his lips . " Then , don't do it at the hospital . " With a wave of his hand , the bodyguard stepped forward , hauling Bianca up by the arms . Without hesitation , he raised the wooden rod in his hands and brought it down on her stomach . A few strikes Chapter 14 after , blood streamed from her thigh . 2/2 Theodore looked at the blood pooling beneath Bianca , his expression cold and indifferent . It was like he was looking at a piece of disgusting trash . He took out his phone and calmly dialed his assistant . " Ms. York had a miscarriage . Send someone to get her to the hospital . Tell the doctors that keeping her alive is enough , " he said , tone flat . " And get rid of that bastard child . Find the worst orphanage you can and dump him there . " After hanging up the call , he turned and walked away . Not once did he glance at Bianca again , but her crazy voice echoed in his ear . " Every knife that made her bleed has your fingerprints on it ! You're the one who threw Clarisse out of your world ! " It was he who hurt Clarisse over Caleb again and again . It was he who hurt her with his doubt and coldness . It was he who signed that damn divorce agreement . " Clarisse … " He shut his eyes . Pain twisted through his chest , crushing everything inside . Regret surged like a freezing tide , tearing through him like a million blades . He clutched his chest , gasping as he swore in his heart . No matter what it cost , he would find Clarisse and beg for her forgiveness . He could not afford to lose her . Without her , there was no point in living anymore . He would find her , no matter what it took . Chapter 15 Chapter 15
