I Set You Free, Mr. Billionaire Novel

Shannon blinked her eyes and cooed sweetly , " Kenneth , I was just worried she'd trick you! If she'd abort your baby without telling you , what else is she capable of ? I did this for your own good ! " Jean's face was glacial . She snapped at Kenneth , her voice boiling with fury , " Don't blame Shannon ! I demanded to know ! " She thrust an accusing finger at me . " You'll divorce this bitch tomorrow ! You were out of your mind marrying her , and now look - she's murdered your child !

" In a flash , Jean grabbed a chair and hurled it at me . Kenneth reacted in a flash , shielding me and catching the stool mid - air . His voice broke as he roared , " This is be- tween me and her - none of your business ! You drove my dad to divorce , and now you want to destroy me too ? How many lives do you need to ruin to be satisfied ?! " His furious words echoed through the vast living room . Kenneth's mother turned pale as a sheet .

Her sharp finger trembled as she pointed at him , shrieking , " What did you just say ?! You're really saying that - for that cheap little tramp ? Good ! Just great ! " Then , without warning , she flung herself forward and slammed her head into the sharp corner of the marble table . Bang ! Her limp body crumpled to the floor . Kenneth's eyes widened in horror . " Mom ! " He rushed over , scooped her into his arms , and bolted out the door .

Meanwhile , Shannon cast me a smug , triumphant smile . She tilted her chin at me like she'd just claimed victory . " Leave now if you know what's good for you . Staying just makes you more pathetic . " I'd planned to ignore her - until I remembered her callous destruction of my mother's pickles . I felt a surge of anger in my heart . I stepped closer , meeting her gloating eyes- And slapped her hard across the face . Before she could react , I slapped her again .

That time , she screamed and lunged at me . Old grudges and new ones combined into a single surge of fury - I pushed her down and started pummeling her face . Her cries of pain rang through the room . 0.0 % 10:46 Chapter 7 11 288 ivouchers " Stop , stop ! You'll ruin my face ! I'll apologize , okay ? Just stop hitting me ! " My palms stung from the force when I finally released her . Shannon's face was swollen and red , covered in the marks of my slaps - she looked like a puffed - up pig .

She glared at me , eyes filled with venom . " You just wait - I'm not done with you ! " " Then she scrambled to her feet and fled in a panic . I calmly washed my hands and started packing my bags . Kenneth didn't come home that night . The next morning , I went straight to the airport . The two - year farce was finally over . At that same moment , Kenneth was at the hospital , trying desperately to reason with his mother . " Mom , why don't you want me to be happy ? I love Regina .

Can't you just let me have this happiness ? " His mother had eight stitches on her forehead . She hadn't faked it - she really did ram her head into the table intending to die . She cast him a sideways glance and let out a cold snort . " That kind of woman is dangerous . If she could abort one pregnancy , she'd do it again . If you insist on keeping her , I'll kill myself . Choose - her or your own mother . The decision is yours . " With that , she turned away , ending the conversation .

Kenneth felt like his head was splitting open . Caught between two impossible choices , his entire body ached as if he'd been cleaved in two by an axe - he barely recognized himself anymore . As he walked out of the hospital room , Shannon came hurrying down the corridor toward him . Her face was bruised and puffy , her eyes swollen like walnuts . She threw herself dramatically into Kenneth's arms . " Kenneth ! Regina did this to me because she hates that I told your mother the truth !

You have to make this right ! How can I show my face like this ? " Shannon wept theatrically while sneaking a peek at him from under her lashes- She found Kenneth's face dark with barely contained fury . 51.6 % 10:46 Chapter 8
