Love Unspoken

Alexander squatted down in front of her, a smirk playing on his lips, but his eyes were ice-cold.

He sneered, "Kaitlyn, you're the first person I can't figure out how to punish 'cause nothing seems harsh enough for you."

Kaitlyn finally caught her breath and looked up at Alexander, her eyes filling with tears.

The cold seeped into her bones, making her shiver uncontrollably. "You hate me that much?" she croaked, staring at Alexander's familiar face, suddenly feeling like she didn't know him at all. Alexander stared at her for a moment before giving a curt nod. "Yeah."

Kaitlyn's lips twitched, caught between a sob and a laugh.

When he was one, Alexander grinned at her with his two front teeth and called her "Mom."

At four, he ran out at night to find her when she came home late, throwing himself into her arms and promising to make lots of money to take care of her when he grew up.

Her heart softened for the first time then, but she still patted his head and said, "Then you gotta study hard, be good, and make your dad like you. Only then will he take us home, and we can have a good life." Alexander, too young to fully understand, saw the hope in her eyes and nodded firmly.

And he didn't let her down. He skipped kindergarten and went straight to elementary school. The first time he showed her a perfect score, she almost forgot he was someone she had stolen. She was proud of him, like he was her own son.

After joining the Kennedy family, she got stricter with him. At first, he admitted his mistakes and reflected on them, but over time, he started arguing back and eventually went silent. She worried daily about her position being threatened and poured almost all her hopes into Alexander.

She didn't know when their communication dwindled and they grew distant. Ridiculously, she thought he was becoming more mature and steady, more in line with her expectations. Her position became more secure.

The lust for power really made her lose her mind. Amid the envious and flattering gazes of others, she became increasingly unwilling to recall the days when they depended on each other in a rented apartment, let alone how she had stolen Alexander.

Now, suddenly, she began to miss those days.

Alexander tossed a handkerchief in front of her and stood up. "The feeling of being betrayed and having nothing isn't good, is it? This is what you deserve. Enjoy the rest of your days." With that, he turned and walked away from the bridge.

Kaitlyn sat on the cold ground, watching his figure disappear into the night. She hugged herself tightly but still couldn't escape the biting wind.

The rain poured down harder, and cars zoomed by in front of her.

No one would help her. Alexander had made his disgust for her clear, and she couldn't find any job, not even as a janitor.

Her documents were blacklisted, preventing her from renting an apartment, staying in a hotel, or leaving Amber Bay.

She could only beg or pick up trash in Amber Bay, living under the bridge and avoiding crowded places for fear of being recognized.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Lacking the courage to end it all, she could only live in pain.
