Chapter 9 He saved me

Kayla was checking her makeup in the lady's room. Behind her came a familiar female voice full of hatred and sarcasm.

"Kayla, well, it isn't a small world" .

Kayla looked up and saw a pretty familiar face in the mirror. Her face became cold and intense. She didn't expect to come across Anna here, how could she escape her?

"Kayla, you're really a butterfly. I didn't expect that you'd move on from Donald so easily. You have been together for five years, but now you are playing with a new target, Bryan William. So it was all an act when you begged me to leave Donald?"

It was an insult for her to hear Anna saying the name "Donald". Recalling what she had done to her, she couldn't restrain herself anymore.

"Shame on you Anna. We had indeed been together for five years, but only God knows what you have done to him. Do you think that your relationship with him is raal? You know, all the lies will be exposed very soon. I have passed him on to you, you have picked up what I dumped. You are pathetic".

One year ago, Kayla collapsed when she was informed that Anna and Donald were together. She was weak, frail and fragile. She couldn't even put up a fight. All she could do was beg Anna to let him go. Anna had found Kayla's weakness, so she always wanted to tease her with the same thing.

Unexpectedly, Kayla had turned from a kitten to a tigress. Anna was not prepared for this. The rage was burning inside of her, she reached out to give Kayla a slap. "Bitch".

Kayla knew her so well. Actually, her rage was no worse than Anna's. She didn't take a step backwards, but firmly gripped Anna's wrist before she slapped her across her face. Even with a little force, Anna couldn't stand it and she screamed, "Who's the bitch?"

Kayla pushed her away. Wearing shoes that were three inches long, Anna was barely able to keep her balance from the push. As she was just about to fall, someone dashed over and held her in his arms from behind. He was so careful as if he was carrying a fragile treasure.

It was Donald Miller. Kayla could tell from his profile. She felt a tinge of sorrow, but she kept it aside.

Anna leaned into his arms and bit her lip, pretending she was hurt. "Donald, I just wanted to make amends with her, but..."

Donald got angry when he looked at the beautiful woman in his arms who seemed like she had been assaulted. He looked up at Kayla, complaining in impatience, "Miss Jackson, I thought I made it clear to you? Why can't you just leave Anna alone? We are engaged, and we are getting married this year. Can you stop pestering us?"

Just now, when she argued with Anna, she was able to stay calm. Now, she trembled because something in her was starting to collapse. The person standing in front of her was the man who she has loved five years. She thought she k ew who he was.

There was a time when he loved her, spoiled her and cared for her. About a year ago, she lost contact with him for a few months because she was working on TV drama in an isolated place. When she came back, he had forgotten her entirely, and had fallen in love with Anna.

It was so hard for her to accept it. She thought he was her soul mate, but he forgot her. She tried everything she could to remind him of their past. She even begged Anna to give him back to her. At the end, all she got was endless humiliation from Anna, and his growing disapproval.

It was because she was so depressed that year that she rejected all the changes the company had to offer. Actually, she was a new star at that time and she was just starting to make a name for herself.

She would have been extremely famous if she had accepted their offers, but she slid into depression instead. A year was enough to cool down the little fire that was burning inside of her.

How ironic it was that Donald was now in her face and announced that he was going to marry Anna. "Donald, you are free from me, but do you really think this woman in your arms is as innocent as she appears? She is the cruelest person I have ever met. I don't know what she has done to you, but.. "

"Shut up! How dare you insult Anna?", Donald interrupted her fiercely. The ever- loving and gentle Donald was now pissed off.

"Donald don't get angry. Miss Jackson can't control herself", Anna comforted him as if she was the virgin Mary and then turned to Kayla, "Miss Jackson, I suggest you go and talk to someone about your issues, maybe a therapist. I happen to know a brilliant therapist, would you like me to introduce you to one?"

Seeing Anna was so considerate, Donald felt Kayla was far more unreasonable. He stared at her with so much disgust. "Miss Jackson, I cannot understand why you would hurt such an innocent person. I doubt you even feel any regret. I hope you take a look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if you are proud of the woman you have become".

How deep their love was and how hurt she felt right now. Kayla's face turned pale, and her lips quivered. She tried to force a faint sneer. "Well then, I wish you a happy ever after ending. I have to go".

Kayla wanted to vanish immediately, but her wrist was grabbed as she walked past Donald. It was from Donald. A faint hope aroused in her heart. Maybe... Did he recall something? Even though she was stubborn and reluctant to admit, she still couldn't pass by him until now.

"Miss Jackson, please apologize to Anna", Donald commanded without a touch of emotion in his voice.

"Are you kidding?", she almost laughed out in anger. "You want me to apologize to her?"

"Forget it, Donald", Anna said, showing her fake moral virtue again. "Let's go back", she secretly threw a sneer at Kayla.

"No, she needs to say she's sorry. You never told me what she did to you, but I could see for myself today", Donald replied.

Kayla didn't know why Donald was acting so ridiculous. She wanted to pull back her hand, but she knew it would have been impossible.

"Let go of her", a cold, harsh male voice suddenly came from behind Kayla.
