My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 239

My face was pale with rage as Colin helped me put on a black, ninja-like suit that I had only ever seen on TV. He

even tied my hair into one long braid before putting a black mask over the bottom half of my face. He seemed to

be in a rush—the moment he was done, he grabbed my arm and dragged me toward the car. He hopped into the

seat beside me after he pushed me in.

"Take us back to the base camp," he ordered. The car traveled toward the North. Throughout the long journey, I

overheard them saying that we had crossed the Finland borders, and I also heard them say that the Xenos Family

was chasing after them. The sky had turned dark by the time I saw Shawn. I was sent to the second floor while

Shawn was on the ground floor. It looked like a battlefield down there!

Shawn fought like a devil—he wouldn't stop attacking everyone that came close to him. His expression remained

calm, and his movements were firm even as tens of people tried to attack him all at once. I kept my gaze fixed on

the scene below even though I felt my stomach churning with nausea. On top of the disgust I felt, I was also worried

about Shawn. I would be heartbroken if he was injured.

"This is where Shawn and I grew up," Colin said from his spot in a chair beside me. "This place is like a prison cell

that we can never escape for the rest of our lives."

I held my breath for a while. "What do you mean when you say that you can't escape it?"

"Don't you understand what I mean?" He gave me a sideways glance. "It means that we'll never be able to leave

this place! Both Shawn and I will always be stuck here!" Colin said.

Could someone as powerful and glamorous as Shawn be caught up in such a frustrating situation? "Is he here by his

own will, or…" I asked worriedly.

"He's here according to his own will, of course. This is his place," Colin replied. This is Shawn's…?

"Does Shawn love you?" Colin asked me out of nowhere. Someone had asked me the same question just a while

ago. "That has got nothing to do with you," I replied with my head hanging low. "We can attempt an experiment,"

Colin said.

"What experiment?" I asked icily. Colin turned to look at the men beside him. "Bring her down."

"Should we seal her lips?" his men asked.

"Sure." Colin laughed. They then dragged me down to the battlefield. It was then that I realized how I was dressed

in the same clothes as everyone else. I quickly blended in to become one of them. Swords, fists, and kicks were

thrown around blindly, and I felt someone shoving me from the back. I fell forward and landed directly in front of

Shawn. Even though the man in front of me was someone familiar, I felt as if he was a stranger at that moment.

The usual calm and peaceful look in his eyes had been replaced by a violent glare. I stumbled backward when he

suddenly sent a kick toward my stomach. I fell on my back for a moment before someone grabbed me up and

pushed me toward Shawn again. This time, he sent a kick directly toward my head! I felt a loud ringing in my head

and all my bones aching. Someone grabbed me up and pushed me toward him again. I wanted to scream, but my

lips had been sealed!

At this rate, I knew that Shawn would hit me to my death. Just as I was about to lose all hope, Shawn slowed his

actions down as he realized that something was wrong. "Let go of her." A miracle happened at that very moment—

everyone around me stopped moving and took a step back! Colin is right! Shawn is in charge of this place!

Shawn gradually walked toward me as he laid his icy glare on my eyes. I blinked in confusion as I watched his pupils

shrink. His hands were trembling as he pulled my mask down. When he saw who I was, his gaze remained the

same. He ordered his people to drag me away when Colin came down from the second floor. "Do you know that

young lady, Shawn?"

I was in pain. I was in so much pain that I felt like I was about to die! I sprawled on the floor weakly as I felt my head

spinning. "Were you the one who brought her over, Colin?" Shawn asked.

"Alfie heard that you found yourself a woman, and he told me to bring her over for a tour someday. But… it seems

like you don't know her!" Colin replied.

"Colin, you need to know your limits even if you want to go against me. Don't you dare lay hands on—" Shawn

started in a deep voice.

"Hey, lay hands on what?" Colin chuckled. "Your baby?" Shawn was silent for a while, and I could feel myself losing

consciousness. At that moment, a rather rough voice came from above me. "Shawn, how are you related to this

woman?"

"We're not related." I heard Shawn speaking in a clear voice. "In that case, I want you to stab her," someone else

said. My vision was blurry, and I couldn’t tell what was going on. Time seemed to slow down for a moment as I

found myself staring into a man's cold glare. Right after that, I felt someone stabbing me in the stomach!

I spat out a mouthful of blood, and my spit landed on that person's body. I couldn't tell what exactly happened after

that, but I felt someone dragging me away. When I woke up, I found myself in a cell with a pile of white bones lying

next to me. I let out a terrified scream as I felt the pain in my body increase. Right then, I heard loud footsteps

coming from outside.

"Hey, is she awake?" This voice… Colin! "Where's Shawn?" I asked frantically.

"Are you still thinking about him now?" Colin asked.

"Where's Shawn? I want to see Shawn." Colin seemed puzzled as I insisted on seeing Shawn. "Shawn just stabbed

you in the stomach, and you're still asking for him?"

I was dazed for a moment. "What did you say?"

"Shawn just stabbed you!" Colin cried.

"I don't believe you!" I shook my head. I didn't believe him, but the pain in my stomach was something I couldn't

ignore. Colin dragged me out of the cell, and I saw Shawn and a foreign old man with a face full of wrinkles

standing near the room. The old man looked extremely stern. "That's Alfie," Colin said.

"Who is Alfie?" I asked. Colin didn't answer me, but the man called Alfie spoke instead. "How are you related to that

girl?"

"I'm not related in any way to her," Shawn replied. "Colin said that she's your woman," Alfie responded.

"She's just a woman," Shawn replied in a calm and emotionless tone.

"Do you love her?" Alfie asked.

"No," Shawn spoke in his usual tone. No… Shawn said he never loved me… So many people had asked me this

question, and I always had a firm answer—that he loved me! But at that moment, he told those people that he had

never loved me. Had my love for him been one-sided all along? "Throw her out, then," Alfie uttered.

"Why are you crying?" Colin asked me all of a sudden. I wasn't sure why, but I assumed that it was because my

heart ached. "What is it? Do you think Shawn was lying because Alfie threatened him? If you don't believe it, you

can ask Shawn later when he comes." Colin paused for a moment before he spoke again. "He's here."

I looked up to see Shawn walking over with a dark aura surrounding him. I had never seen him looking that way.

"Sunny," I mumbled. My entire body was in a lot of pain, and I wanted to spread my arms open to ask for a hug.

However, I didn't have the guts to do it at that moment.

He was the one who hit and stabbed me, after all! The man before my eyes… the man I loved… He was the one

who did all of this! He said that I was just a woman. "Renee, we need to talk through some things," Shawn said.

I pressed my hand against the wound on my stomach as I responded softly, "What do you want to tell me, Sunny?"

Deep down, I still had some hope.

"I don't want to lose my mother again," he said. I stared at him dazedly. "Are you… breaki
