Nemesis Game

Chapter 1 Why Are You Not Dead Yet

“Samantha, why are you not dead yet?”

A man’s cold and emotionless voice rang out.

Samantha Powell was drenched from head to toes. Blood was dripping along the bottom of her pants

and then it fell onto the ground. She looked miserable.

She smiled and looked at the beautiful cake on the long table. “Peyton” was written on the cake and it

hurt Samantha just by looking at it.

She was in jail for 7 years because of him and today was the day that she finally got out. She endured

the pain from the wound she received from the car accident just so that she could see him, but here he

was, celebrating Peyton Moore’s birthday.

Samantha was all covered with blood. The rage and sadness over the past 7 years blazed inside of

her. She didn’t even hesitate. She went up and flipped the table. The food and the cake were all

destroyed.

At that moment, the loud sound of plates breaking was like music to her ears.

“Ruben, did you forget that I’m your wife?” There was a sharp pain in Samantha’s heart, her pale face

was filled with hatred, “How dare you celebrate your mistress’ birthday today! I won’t let it happen, over

my dead body!”

It was humiliating!

Ruben Knight looked grim. The flame in his eyes flickered when he heard her coarse voice. He

clenched her neck vehemently and pressed her against the wall behind, “My wife? You’re just a lowlife! All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

If it wasn’t for you hiring someone to hurt Peyton and made her killed that person accidentally, I

wouldn’t have married you!”

She forgot that the woman in his heart was always Peyton. The person who snatched her position, her

parents and her husband! The woman who sent her to jail for 7 years, furthermore it was a wrongful

conviction!

She was the actual daughter of the Moore family, but the hospital messed up and she was handed over

to the poor family instead. Peyton on the other hand became the daughter of the Moore family!

Even worse, the whole incident about her hiring a murderer was Peyton’s plan. She was afraid that

Samantha would snatch her place and hired someone to hurt Samantha. But the thug turned his coat

last minute and Peyton killed him in self-defence!

When the news got out, Peyton pushed the blame on Samantha!

Her parents then made Samantha the scapegoat for the sake of Peyton’s future and dream. Samantha

went to jail in Peyton’s stead.

Samantha’s face turned grim, she felt a shivering pain on her back. She scoffed at him, “I didn’t hire

them! I am the daughter of the Moore family. Why would I do that just to hurt the adopted daughter?”

She was wrongfully in jail for 7 years just for him. Was it worth it?

Ruben strengthened his grip on her neck as if he was trying to kill her, “Shut up! Peyton is kind. Why

would she find someone to harass herself just to smear your name?”

She really wanted to tell him that yes, that was indeed the truth!

But he increased his grip and she found it hard to breathe. She flailed her arms and her legs and

looked into his wintry eyes, her heart was breaking into million pieces.

“If you really think that it is me, then let’s go to court again!” she said in broken sentences. Her face

was turning darker and she sneered, “Make me go to jail again, better yet kill me…”

Ruben’s eye dimmed, “You think I will let you go so easily, you low life? It would be easier if you died in

prison! But since you’re still alive, you have to sign the divorce paper!”

Her mind blanked and her breathing weakened. She felt death approaching and her flailing slowed

down. She wasn’t struggling anymore.

She coughed as she tried hard to open her eyes. She looked at him disdainfully and said, “Right… then

let me tell you this, I won’t sign the papers for as long as I live. She will be your mistress forever and

you guys’ relationship will always be indecent!”
