Brian looked down at Molly, after glancing into her inquiring eyes.
"After we get over with this entire scene, I will let go of you," Brian said in a rather cold tone.
As her eyes flashed with overpowering sadness, Molly dropped her head almost immediately to
conceal her feeling. She nodded slightly, to avoid overreacting and pouring out her feelings.
Unable to sense what she was feeling as Molly's face devoid of expression, Brian felt the pangs of
disappointment. He turned over to stay on top of her, studying her with his eagle-like gaze. "So Finally,
huh? Finally you can leave. You must be feeling excited and zealous right about now, right?" he asked
in a tone coated with sarcasm.
Molly looked up at him with her eyes glistening with tears she tried to hold in. Yet there was sense of
sadness to be seen. She watched his handsome face in silence, just embracing his tempting smell.
She fluttered her long eyelashes, as she grew determined not to answer him simply because she
couldn't and didn't want to either.
'Right, after all this time I can finally run away from him. I am supposed to be relieved and happy. So
why do I feel so sad instead?' Molly thought to herself.
He was the wrong match for her from the very beginning, she knew she shouldn't fall in love with him,
because he was always way too good to her. His perfection, attitude and appearance made it evident
enough that he was from another class, a world that was beyond her reach. Their relationship couldn't
go anywhere as he was out of her league. Molly knew the truth and had accepted it, but even then she
couldn't help feeling depressed.
In reality, Brian didn't treat her all that well. In fact, he always hurt her and then did something to make
it up to her. She always romanticized all that he did for her and forgot all the bad aspects. But the
honest truth was that Molly truly loved the compensations, the effort and the parts where he was nice to
her.
With a mocking smile, Molly turned her face to the side in a bid to look away from the man she loved so
very dearly. After all this, maybe leaving Brian was a good choice for her. In that case, maybe her life
would go back to normal, before any of this happened again. Even though everything had changed
forever, she could at least control her own life.
Brian looked at her silently to try and read her expression. His heart broke just seeing her sad smile.
Brian wanted to take his words back about letting her go.
But Becky was all set to return soon. He couldn't let Molly live in the mansion anymore. Irrespective of
his feelings for Molly and the other women around him, Brian knew that Becky was the one he wanted
to spend the rest of his life with.
Brian kept chanting to himself that Becky was going to be his wife. It was almost like a bid of self-
hypnosis. Yet anger welled up in his heart when he sensed the sadness in Molly's eyes. He could not
bear to see her like that. "Why do you look so gloomy and upset? You don't want to leave me now?"
Brian asked curiously.
Despite his blunt question, Molly chose to close her eyes and not respond. She was now too weak and
sentimental to hide her feelings from his inquiring gaze.
At first Molly thought she was just attracted to his defiance, craved for hugs from him and felt safe and
protected when he was around. But it was more than just that. Now before she could realize, Molly
grew so attached to him that she was reluctant to leave him. It felt like she was the only one still
trapped in this game.
Brian frowned as he watched her lips trembling. He leaned down and now his lips touched hers ever so
slightly. "You stupid girl, you really thought you could evade my question, because you can't speak?" he
asked in a soft and gentle voice.
As tears began to roll down her cheeks, Molly squeezed her eyes closed harder. She was kind of
happy right then that she couldn't speak, so now she could just remain silent for everything he said.
And Brian couldn't truly ever find out how inferior she felt deep down.
There was sense of lull and bitterness in the air. Brian pushed himself up and frowned when he saw the
wet pillow. He stared at the woman he loved with his intense dark eyes and pursed his lips together
with disappointment.
Molly swiftly moved to bury her face in the pillow as it turned red under Brian's gaze. She was sure
Brian could see how embarrassed she was right now.
"Just get up!" Brian commanded abruptly. He rolled out of the bed, dressed himself and threw Molly's
clothes over to her.
Molly looked at Brian as her eyes were still welling up with tears. She didn't move an inch and instead
pressed her lips together.
Brian's face tightened upon seeing her reaction. He stood by the bedside and grew irritated as he
looked at Molly's sad face. "We can't sleep anyway. Please just get up!" he said yet again.
Molly got out of the bed slowly with reluctance and grabbed her clothes to change. She seemed like a
delicate doll, a toy, who was not allowed to refuse her master's demands.
Within five minutes Molly was dressed. She walked out of the bathroom and felt confused seeing Brian
hold her hat and scarf.
Brian was clearly embarrassed. But within a minute he was back to his normal aloofness. He walked up
to Molly and put the hat and scarf on her. Before she could refuse, he dragged Molly out of there. But
even before they could step outside, Brian remembered something suddenly as grabbing Molly's cold
hands. He loosed his grip and ran in a hurry towards the walk-in closet.
