Til Death Do Us Part novel Chapter 21

Ryan kept silent and stared at Nikki's face for a long time. He sincerely blessed Nikki, but Nikki said that she was dating with Carl. He was unhappy for this thing. But why he was unwilling under the situation that he was going to get married with Iva? How could he stop them?

Ryan didn’t shifted his sight until Nikki got on the taxi. But every time when he closed his eyes, he would think of Nikki's desperate face. He had a terrible headache for the limited picture that reflected back in his mind. He didn't know why would he think of Nikki. It seemed that everything was related to Nikki.

Ryan took the pills out of his pocket and eat one of the pills. So his headache was relieved.

Was she dating with Carl?

That was good.

Ryan smiled bitterly and held his fists tightly with no regrets in his mind.

These days Ryan often got headaches, and the dose of medicine was getting larger and larger. He had not taken so many headache medicines when he was with Nikki. It seems that life was not so easy without Nikki.

Every time when Ryan looked at Iva's figure, he would consider Iva as Nikki. Seeing the scar on Iva's back, Ryan would remember the bulge on Nikki's spine.

He had a car accident before, and his parents died in that accident. That year he was twenty-one years old. When he woke up, he found that Iva was taking care of him. If Iva hadn’t save him with all her life that year, he might have died together with his parents. So his feelings on Iva had something about gratitude and dependence.

His couldn’t fall in love with Nikki because their marriage was also a restriction given by Nikki's father. He was going to marry Iva originally. However he was restrained by Nikki’s father with his parents' death and their business. He was forced to marry Nikki. If he didn't marry Nikki, he would become poor. And the business of his parents would be destroyed in his hands. He had no choice but to marry Nikki and give up Iva.

After all these years, Ryan was still living in the shadow of that year. Without Nikki's father, maybe he and Iva didn't need to waste so much time to be together.

Iva entered the bedroom and sat on Ryan's leg in sexy pajamas. She said, "Ryan, let's have a rest."

She tried to seduces Ryan by any means, but Ryan didn't seem to have any interests. Ryan was so lost in thought that he couldn't focus on Iva at all. Iva was a little annoyed. She moved her body like a water snake and wrapped around Ryan to touch him.

Ryan realized and grabbed Iva's hand, then he asked, "Iva, how did you save me before?"

Asked by Ryan in such a situation, Iva froze. It was the worst thing that she didn’t want to remember about it. But Ryan was also lost in the shadow of it. She answered,"Why do you ask again? Everyone in that car accident was died except you. Your parents died, too. It was I who dragged you out, and then the car exploded. The scar on my back was caused by my act to protect you.”
