My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 246: She Deserved It Boom!

Just like that, the beautiful fantasy that Eris nurtured in her mind shattered before her eyes, forcing herto go back to reality.Once she got a hold of her senses, she stiffly turned her head.She looked at Brianwith wide, unblinking eyes.

Her throat was hoarse, and yet she forced herself to utter something.

"Brian...What did you say?"

Brian stared straight into her eyes and said, "Let's break up!"

"But why?" Eris grabbed her hair with both hands and shook her head with frantic denial.

Tears streamed down her cheeks as she cried out, "No! I don't believe it.How could you break up withme? I must have misheard, right?"

She threw herself into Brian's arms and knelt on the floor, her hands grasping his waist.

"Brian, tell me I just misheard you.Please tell me—"

"You didn't hear it wrong—"

"No! I don't want to hear it!"

Eris covered her ears.

"I don't want to hear it! I don't!"

Brian firmly took both her hands off her ears.

"Brian, please..."

She raised her head with fear swelling in her eyes.

"Please don't leave me.You're the only one I have.If you no longer want me, what should I do? Whereshould I go?"

Brian stared down at the weeping woman on her knees and remained still.He let her cry and had nointention of stopping her.

Without anyone interrupting her crying spell, Eris wept and wept until the volume of her cries naturallydied down.

When her wails turned to sobs, she lay on Brian's knees.

"Are you finished crying?" Brian said coldly.

"Brian..."

"If you're done, I'll continue what I was saying."

When Brian didn't hear any objection from her, he added, "Eris, I gave you a chance!"

Eris' head started to spin.In her nauseated state, she remembered that Brian came to her apartmenttwo days ago before Wendy's press conference.

That day, he asked her if she had lied to him.He told her if she told him the truth, he could forgive herfor the sake of their four years of love.

In a firm voice, she said she hadn't.

Then, Brian warned her that if he found out that she lied to him, he would never forgive her.Eris hadbeen crying for such a long time that her eyes no longer had tears to shed.

"But I didn't..."

"I watched the live broadcast of Wendy's press conference." Eris' lips pursed.

She stared at Brian with her red and swollen eyes.When she saw the expression on Brian's face, sheunderstood everything.No wonder he didn't ask her anything when he saw her.

No wonder he didn't allow the driver of the moving company to unload her things. No wonder he wasso gentle to her today.It turned out Brian was already planning to break up with her.

Before breakfast, she found herself singing.But at night, she was crying.

"Brian...Let me explain."

"There's nothing to explain.I've already watched the press conference and it's as clear as day.Eris, Ican't believe that you would go so far to hurt yourself just to frame Wendy!"

An image of Eris’ stab wound in the belly from three years ago flashed in his mind.

The fear produced by that moment replicated itself in the present, and he couldn't help but feel afraid.

If a woman could hurt herself to achieve some despicable purpose, there was no telling what othervicious things she was capable of doing.

Eris couldn't find the words to speak.

Tears rolled down her cheeks.She always cried in front of him and Brian always felt sorry for her.

But not this time.

When he saw the redness of her eyes and the wetness of her cheeks, he felt nothing.

"Okay, I might have lied to you, but it doesn't change the fact that my love for you is true.Four yearswe've been together.We've done so much in the name of our love.For you, I'm willing to give up mynovelbin

life.For you, I never hid my intimate scenes in the shooting from you.I wouldn't have shot those scenesunless you agreed.I have done so much for you.Can't you forgive me just this one time? You said Iwas playing tricks.I admit it! I did play tricks on Wendy.But all those things, I did for you! We had beentogether for a year at that time.I asked you when you would break up with Wendy.But you always actedindecisively with the fear that you'd hurt her, so you were unwilling to break up with her."

As Eris continued to speak, she grew more frantic.

"I had no other choice! Wendy is beautiful; you are handsome.You were a couple and you were sogood to her! I'm a woman.I need a sense of security.Do you have any idea how sad I felt when I sawyou taking her to the hospital for prenatal checkups?"

"Enough!" Brian interrupted, a look of annoyance flashing in his eyes.

"Brian..."

"You are so unreasonable!"

Brian pushed her away and stood up from the sofa.

"Why do you think I was so gentle and considerate to her? It's all because of you! If you hadn't druggedher and made her pregnant...I had to admit that the baby in her belly was mine because of you.Thiswas all our fault.She was pregnant! How could I have the heart to break up with her?"

"Have you ever thought about me? Do you know how jealous I felt every time I saw you taking her tothe hospital? You looked like you were a newly married couple.She was the pregnant wife and youwere the dutiful husband accompanying her to her prenatal checkups.And I saw the smiles on yourfaces.Do you have any idea how jealous I felt? We were the ones who loved each other.She was theother woman!"

"So you put her in danger? She was eight months pregnant back then! Are you aware that she mighthave died because of you?"

"I wanted to kill her! She deserved it! She wanted to take you away from me!"

Brian couldn't believe the words coming out of Eris’ mouth.

"Are you crazy?"

"Yes, I'm crazy.I'm crazy because of you! Who the hell is she? How could she be with you? Shedeserved to die! Damn it!" Brian took a deep breath.

He looked at her eyes, which had already turned scarlet, and the crazed expression on her face thatonly seemed to worsen.

Eris appeared as though she had just broken out of an insane asylum. "Eris...This is your true nature,isn't it? People thought you were kind, gentle, virtuous, pure, and considerate...But they were nothingbut fake.Four years ago, you drugged Wendy.You did it not out of impulse but after careful planning.AmI right?"

"Yes!"

When she realized there was no more turning back, Eris finally stuck to her true colors and decided notto hide anymore.

"She was in my way.So she should go to hell! " Brian was at a loss for words.All he could do was raisehis hand and point his finger at her.

‘This woman..She is the devil! A devil whom I was with for four years! The very thought of it made thehair on the back of his neck rise.Then, he remembered all the comments on Eris online.She was just asvicious as Cacia, her mother.

Cacia was such a vicious woman.

She gave birth to Eris and raised her.

Looking back, he now wondered why he always thought that Eris was pure and honest to begin with. What a joke! "Brian...I love you so much.You are my prince charming.You are everything to me.Howcould you abandon me now that I have nothing? No, I don't agree.I absolutely do not agree!"

But Brian had already made up his mind.

And after witnessing what the true side of Eris really looked like, he further steeled his resolve to neverbe with her again.

"I don't agree to break up," Eris declared.

"But it's not up to you!"
