The Woman From Hell

The man in front of me was all too familiar to me.

Matthew looked at me with a smile. It was obvious that he had been expecting me. There was not the slightest surprise on his face. "Wanda, long time no see. How have you been?"

Long time no see indeed.

I had not heard from him ever since we parted ways on bad terms the last time.

I did not expect to see him at Regal Villa today.

I frowned. Xander and Jerome’s words were lingering in my ears. The person was a big spender and had paid without a word after learning that it was a villa in Regal Villa. So, the person who bought this villa was Matthew. What was he planning? Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

With defensiveness in my eyes, I took a step back, my expression serious. "Did you buy this place?"

He nodded cheerfully without hesitation.

It seemed that he had no intention of hiding this.

"Why here?" I asked directly without a trace of hesitation. "My friend said you paid the money immediately after you found out that it was a house in Regal Villa. You’ve obviously had your eyes on this place, don't tell me it's a coincidence."

Hearing this, Matthew raised his head and chuckled. He then lowered his gaze to look at me, a small smile still gracing the corners of his mouth. His expression was casual, and his tone was quite relaxed, "You’ve already decided that I came here with a purpose, so why ask me?"

I was stunned by his blunt words. I thought he would still put on some pretense but he did not even do that. I gulped and looked at him with a guarded gaze. “Just what the h*ll are you trying to do?!"

I saw Matthew smile. He took a step closer to me, the arc of his smile never fading. "Wanda, I’ve said it before, I will not give up."

He said with determination in his eyes.

This shocked me. Was Matthew here for me again?

I frowned, looking puzzled. "Where's Liz? She didn’t follow you?"

Matthew's expression changed when I mentioned her. He then replied as if he was talking about a stranger. "We canceled the engagement. Her family then moved to Contria."

Contria?

That far away?

I looked at him for a long pause but could not glean anything from his expression. He was so calm that no one could discern him.

Matthew like this made me feel scared and uneasy.

"You should have gotten married long ago. Why did you suddenly break off the engagement? Besides, she loves you so much, why would she leave?"

I knew Liz's feelings for Matthew all too well. She would not have given up on Matthew so easily unless something happened to them.

However, Matthew remained calm in the face of my interrogation. He shrugged and spread his hands. "What's the big deal? The world is unpredictable. Why would it be impossible for us to break

off the engagement? Perhaps she found out that I didn’t love her and so, was willing to let me go."

He suddenly smiled evilly as he spoke and it gave me confirmation that this matter was something unusual.

However, I could not think of any other reason at the moment. So, I could only go along with what he said. "I have no right to intervene in your affairs. I also hope you won't disturb my life."

I used to be grateful to Matthew, but he truly had changed now and become a complete stranger to me. I did not understand him and this made me afraid of him.

Matthew heard what I said and raised a handsome brow. "I just said it, Wanda. I won't give up."

"I’m with Theo's child. We’re stable now so let us go, Matthew." I put my hand on my stomach, hoping that he could let me go.

His eyes swept down, but he smiled...
