Day Ninety-One…
"Tell everything. What did Vincent and Monica do to you?" Nathan asked her again. The smile on Jane's lips disappeared at the ntion of those nas.
"I can't. I want to gain your trust so that you can love . But I don't want you to pity . Loving is different from pitying , Nate." Jane lowered her gaze, biting her lower lip.
This ti Jane looked vulnerable in front of him. Her playfulness was gone.
Nathan's heart constricted, watching her sad expression.
"I'm not pitying you." Nathan softly said, lifting her chin so that she could look him in the eyes. "I want to hear your story. Your past. Because I am interested in you. I want to understand you more…"
Jane was taken aback for a mont upon hearing his sincere words.
"I feel responsible. You said.. my half-brother planned his revenge against . This ans… you got involved because of your connection with ." Nathan gently caressed her cheeks, reassuring her.
"So I am here… asking you to share your burdens with . I wanna know everything about you… including your ugly past."
Jane could no longer resist him. His comforting words encouraged her to open up with him. She took a deep breath, mustering up her courage.
"At first, Vincent approached … pretending to be you. He introduced himself as Sizzling August, using a hyper-realistic mask."
Nathan clenched his teeth as he continued to listen to her.
"But Vincent and Monica were already a couple at that ti. Vincent approaching made Monica jealous and she began scheming against , afraid that I would steal Vincent from her."
Nathan's expression turned grim as he could imagine the deception Vincent did to get Jane's trust. 'How dare he use to approach Jane! I won't forgive him for that.'
"When I said I would settle everything… I was referring to Monica. She did a lot of wicked acts and unforgivable things that made want to kill her myself." A cold glint flashed through her eyes as she recalled everything.
Jane didn't care if she had suffered at Monica's hands in the past, but what she couldn't let slide was the mont Monica had touched Ethan and Nathan.
"Tell how she sched against you." Nathan urged her. He was all ears on Jane, patiently listening to her story.
"Driven by jealousy, she was the one who drugged both of us. She forced us to sleep together as an act of rebellion against Vincent's plan. That's how Ethan was conceived." Jane explained the revelation she just heard from Monica before she returned to this tiline.
Nathan nodded. Things beca clearer now.
"Go on. What happened next? What led you to seek Stephen's help in erasing your mories?"
Jane smiled bitterly as she hesitated for a mont. She was afraid that Nathan would feel disgusted at her once he learned what happened.
"Don't hesitate. Just tell everything."
Jane gulped hard, looking away. "I can't. You might feel disgusted if you hear the rest of the story."
Nathan rubbed the space between his eyebrows as he took a deep sigh. "Is that how little you think of ? Do you really see as soone so shallow?" Nathan's tone carried a hint of frustration.
"If you don't trust , how can you expect to trust you?" he added, pretending to be upset. He just wanted to convince Jane to tell him everything.
Nathan let go of her and turned around. But Jane imdiately grabbed his elbow, stopping him from leaving. "Fine. I'm sorry. I'll tell you every detail."
He smiled to himself since his strategy had worked. He turned to face her once again, waiting for her to continue.
"Her sche didn't end there. After our passionate encounter, I woke up in a room, my hands and feet tied down."
Complicated emotions surged up in her heart.
"Monica… molested and sexually assaulted in front of her n." Jane had difficulty saying those words. She didn't even dare look at him as she felt so embarrassed to admit it.
Nathan's eyes widened in both shock and anger. At that certain mont, he clenched his teeth so tight that his gum almost bled. He looked like he was ready to kill soone right now.
"She ripped my clothes while her n were watching us. She touched my body, squeezing my breasts… penetrating my core using her fingers. She made cum over and over again. She defiled my body… breaking my dignity. I just wanted to die…" Jane's voice trembled but she tried to hold back her tears.
"After that, she even asked her n to rape … But Vincent arrived, stopping them." Jane smiled bitterly as she recalled it.
"But his arrival was not my salvation. Do you know why?" Nathan narrowed his eyes, his chilly aura emanating from his body.
"After breaking my spirit… they broke my heart next," Jane said aningfully.
"Vincent was wearing his disguise at that ti. I thought he was you… My Sizzling August."
"Monica made believe that you felt nothing for . That you only saw as a plaything. They made out in front of , fucking each other as I watched them."
"That ti I resented you so much. I questioned your sincerity to . I wondered why you did it to . Why did you hurt like that? But my sufferings didn't end there."
"I was in the process of healing. Despite those traumatic experiences, I decided to give birth to Ethan… I can't kill the innocent child in my womb. But Monica and Vincent had stolen him from , making believe that my son died in my womb."
"Losing him… I decided to kill myself. Mrs. Frost and Stephen saved over and over again. Until they decided to erase my mories about my experience with Vincent and Monica, including my pregnancy with Ethan. Those are the mories Stephen erased so that I could continue living."
Jane stopped talking and the room was engulfed by the deafening silence. She didn't dare look at Nathan, afraid to see his facial expression.
'Does he hate now? Does he feel disgusted with ?'
Nathan stayed silent but his heart was filled with turmoil. He was mad and was ready to kill soone for Jane. His heart was in pain because of her. He didn't expect that Jane would suffer like this.
At that certain mont, Nathan swore to himself. 'I will avenge her. I will get the justice she deserves.'
"Nate… that's my story. Do you pity ? Or do you feel disgusted–" Jane wasn't able to finish her words as Nathan suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace.
Then he gently rubbed her back while stroking her hair. "I said… I don't pity you or feel disgusted by your story." Nathan tightened his grip on her body. Then he lifted her chin to see her face.
Jane was dumbfounded when she saw Nathan's gentle smile.
"Thank you for trusting and sharing your burdens with . You are my responsibility now." Nathan uttered sincerely.
Even before Jane could say a word, Nathan already moved his head down, capturing her lips with his mouth. He kissed her tenderly and passionately.
