I Can't Hold on Any Longer

"Please..."

Isabella looked at Joseph and suddenly smiled desolately. She said slowly and clearly, "Never let him go."

Joseph was shocked.

"John has nothing to do with me from now on."

Isabella pushed Joseph's hand away. She leaned against the wall and staggered out of the warehouse. Then, she said adamantly in a gentle voice, "You can punish him as you wish."

"What?! Isabella! What nonsense are you talking about?! How can you abandon me? I'm your brother! Help! Stop beating me! Isabella! I won't forgive you!"

John was screaming and cursing, but Isabella did not even look back...

On her way back, Isabella looked at scenes outside with her big eyes, neither crying nor feeling sad.

She sat there quietly as if she was empty.

Joseph sat beside her without saying a word.

He felt that he had miscalculated and didn’t get pleasure from his revenge.

It would be wonderful to avenge for her. He wanted to teach her, this stupid woman, that to be cruel was meaningful.
