My Evil Cinderella: Taming a Villainous Wife Chapter 10 - Stupid Mello

As days passed, she soon found out that it was Huang Li who betrayed her by recording her every word.

The person who she trusted the most... the person that she thought that will never betray her ended up breaking her. She plotted against Huang Li and killed him by giving him a poison.

It was a poison she placed on her lips as she gave him one last kiss. She knew that the poison was going to take her life too that's why, after meeting with Huang Li, she drove off to the place where Lu Mello confessed his love to her, it was by the seaside park.

She walked near to the cliff before she sat down at the end. She took her phone out and dialed Lu Mello.

His phone ringed a few times. Shi Enxi was about to give up when she thought that he was not going to answer but before she could end the call, she heard his voice.

"Hello? Xi'er?"

Shi Enxi's lips trembled upon hearing his soft and deep voice from the other line. She could also feel a burning sensation on her chest since the poison was starting to take effect.

She felt a lump in her throat but she tried her best to speak calmly. "I want to see you for the last time, darling. Will you come here?"

Last time? The words he heard from Shi Enxi made his heart shake in fear.

What last time?

"Shi Enxi, where are you?"

"I'm here at the place where you said... I love you..." She paused and coughed out blood. She kept on coughing that made Lu Mello panic.

"Are you alright? I'll be right there at once! Stay where you are!"

Lu Mello didn't end the call since he wanted to make sure that she was still there. He heard the sounds of waves from the background that was why he knew where she was.

"You know... Mello... I always wished for a beautiful life..."

He kept hearing her cough from time to time and he tried to ignore the scary thoughts that were entering his mind.

"And... I'm happy that you made me experience one... even if it's just for a short while." Her voice became weaker and weaker.

"What are you suddenly saying?" Lu Mello chuckled nervously. His eyes became glazed with a glossy layer of tears. As he blinked, they dripped from his eyelids and slid down his cheeks. "We have so many years ahead of us and... and it's just the start. I'll give you a happy and wondrous life until we grow old together."

A weak laugh was heard from her. "Grow old together?"

That was such a nice thing... to be able to grow old together with him. But... she ruined everything for them. She was a woman not worthy of his love and she knew that well.

She did so many bad things to him. Aside from that, he was a protector of the law, and she was a killer and a thief. Being together was impossible for them.

Even if she wanted to live with him, she would be forever tormented of the things she did. Besides, if Huang Li, a person she has been with for so long could betray her, how more Lu Mello?

She bit her lip tightly in an attempt to hide any sound that wanted to escape from her mouth. Her lower lip covered in blood quivered as words slowly made their way out of her mouth. "Mello..." She began, yet what followed was engulfed in the tremors. The tears that she was trying to hold, flowed unchecked down her cheeks and dripped from her chin. "Even if it's just you... please don't hate me... I don't want you to hate me."

"Why would I hate you? Stop joking, Xi'er. You know that I will never hate you."

"Really?"

"Yes. I love you soo much that I can't even bring myself to hate you!" He finally parked his car the moment he arrived at the place.

He went out and rushed to the place where Shi Enxi was. When he finally saw her, he saw her standing at the end of the cliff, her pale face was wet with tears and her lips were covered with blood. There was even bloodstain on her clothes.

Sharp pain lanced through her head and colorful spots flashed in front of her eyes, it felt like her whole body had been beaten and every movement caused some muscle or bone to ache. She was too sad to cry out or wail, she just stood there as still as a statue while the magnitude of her pain swept over her.

A genuine smile appeared on Shi Enxi's red lips when she saw him, "You're finally here." She finally let go of her phone.

He wiped his tears from his cheeks before he forcefully smiled back at her. Lu Mello tried to sound as calm as possible. "Sweetheart, come here. Don't stand there, it's dangerous." He took slow steps towards her. He was afraid that if he at once run to her, she might jump off.

"Enxi… please, please don't do this. Think of our son!"

"Our son?" A sad smile appeared on her lips, "He doesn't deserve a mother like me."

"Don't do this to me, Enxi." The Lu Mello begged, his eyes were filled with tears. He could feel his heart thumping so loud. Just like the dark clouds covering the sky, his insides were in chaos. A mess. He was hurting badly at that thought that she was going to take her life away.

Shi Enxi shook her head, "You know Mello... if... if I was given a chance to change everything… I won't. They deserve to die. I'm going to kill them all over again, maybe even worse than how I did in this lifetime! I don't regret killing them. They deserve it!" She started laughing like a crazy woman, "I guess I'll be seeing them in hell."

She leaned back and allowed the gravity to take her body down.

"SHI ENXI!"

He jumped down the cliff which surprised Shi Enxi.

"Are you an idiot?!" Tears kept flowing out of her eyes when she saw what he did.

Lu Mello reached out to her and pulled him in her arms, "Never… I will never leave you again, Enxi… I'm sorry… I'm sorry for giving you a hard time."

"I'm the one who's giving you a hard time..." She buried her face on his chest, she felt her heart being ripped apart and the pain she was feeling at that moment was so great that she just wanted to end it all.

"Stupid Mello..."

He tightened his hug on her and braced himself for the impact of their bodies against the water.

If he only he was given a chance to go back in time, he could have stopped her from turning this bad.

He felt his consciousness fading away. The last thing he saw was Shi Enxi's face. Her eyes were closed and the blood on her lips were washed out by the water.

He should have been there for her throughout her hard times... He should have been there for her, guiding her to the right path.

Even if back then, he didn't love her yet, he should have been a good friend to her.

There were so many things he wanted to change but everything was too late for them. Things couldn't be changed.

Lu Mello sat up and found himself inside his old room.

What just happened?

"Brother, wake up! How long do you plan on sleeping around? Didn't you said last night that you are going to drop me to work?"

Lu Mello turned to his sister with a confused look on her face.

Lu Weichun was looking brightly and lively, her arms crossed.

When was the last time he saw her that way? Ever since Shi Yi died, she was left heartbroken and she totally changed after his death.

Just then, Lu Weichun's phone started ringing. She took her phone from her pocket and looked at the caller ID. The frown on her face was instantly replaced when she saw who was calling her.

"Oh, Shi Yi, why did you call?"

Shi Yi?

Lu Mello was taken aback when he heard the name from his sister. He took his phone and looked at the date.

... It was two years... Two years ago... Two years before Shi Enxi ruined everyone's life.

He went back in time? How was that possible?
