Chapter 10 Rosalie was being choked so hard she couldn't breathe , her fingers weakly clawing at his wrist . Duncan flung her to the ground , knocking over the brazier and sending sparks flying everywhere . " I'm warning you , Rosalie , if you dare touch a single one of Angela's belongings , I'll make you wish you were dead ! " With that , he grabbed her wrist in a rage and pressed it directly into the still - burning brazier . " Ah- ! " The acrid smell of burning flesh instantly filled the air . Rosalie convulsed in pain , her vision going black in waves . She struggled desperately , her other hand groping blindly until she finally grabbed a decorative cobblestone . " Bang ! " The stone struck Duncan hard on the temple , making him cry out and release his grip . Rosalie immediately pulled her arm back , only to see that from her wrist to her forearm , a patch of hideous blisters had already formed . " Look closely ... " Her voice trembled with pain as she pointed at the half - burned photo on the floor . " I'm burning ... my own things . Duncan , are you blind ?!

A jolt ran through his heart . " You ... " Before he could finish , the shrill ring of a phone suddenly cut through the air . Valerie's tearful voice came through the receiver : " Duncan , my wound has reopened , it hurts so much ... " Duncan's expression changed , and he turned to leave at once . " Burn it , " he said without looking back , " burn all your worthless junk for all I care . " At the door , he paused again : " Every moment I forced myself to get close to you back then , I felt sick ! " The door slammed shut . Rosalie stared at the dying embers in the brazier , then closed her eyes in agony . After Duncan stormed out , Rosalie sat in front of the brazier the entire night . At dawn , she slowly got up and dragged her exhausted body to the bathroom . The woman in the mirror was so thin she was unrecognizable , the burn on her wrist hideous and terrifying , like an ugly centipede coiled on her skin . Her pale face seemed to be a reminder of her life slipping away . In the days that followed , Duncan never came back . But the news was flooded with stories about him and Valerie . 31.38 % 21:44 Chapter 10 208 Vouchers The president of the Hernandez Group spent a fortune on a mansion for his beloved , Duncan attended a charity gala with his new flame ...

" Duncan's voice was cold and distant , with Valerie's coquettish laughter audible in the background . Rosalie gripped the phone tightly . " Come back , just once . " " I'm busy . " " The half - month is up , " she said softly . " The answer I promised you is ready . " There was a few seconds of silence on the other end , then Duncan let out a cold laugh : " Rosalie , how long are you going to use that excuse to trick me ? Do you really think I'll believe you again ? " " I'm telling the truth ... " " Enough ! " Duncan cut her off sharply . " Valerie and I are on vacation . I don't have time for your games ! " The call was abruptly ended . Rosalie held up her phone , listening to the busy tone , and suddenly started to laugh . But as she laughed , tears began to fall .
