Chapter 54 - Catherine's Past

David was silent, he felt there was no need to reveal the real reason he had not killed Catty.

David just feels guilty, with his ignorance of the past makes Catty have to live a life as dark as him.

Maybe if they had met at better times and circumstances, David might consider getting along with Catty. But there's no point in regretting what happened.

The morning sunlight slowly shining into David's eyes made him wake up the still-asleep Catty.

David squatted back to his back to Catty so that the woman could climb up behind him. After a long journey they finally reached the top of the mountain. And from David's estimation, they could reach the closest settlement before the sun set again.

Catty opened her eyes, David's stocky hands that rested on her thighs really warmed her body, not to mention David's back against her chest.

"Hey, I'm bored." said Catty as David tried to make his way down the mountain and continue walking toward the settlement which was still hours away on foot.

David ignored her. His emotions could explode at any time if Catty spoke some more nonsense.

"Tell me about your life."

David jumped over the roots of a large tree and landed on the ground, trying his best to make the Catty in his arms less shaken. Because Catty's breasts stuck to his back really made him feel uncomfortable.

Maybe for other men, if their back is plastered with the breasts of someone as beautiful as Catty they will immediately become aroused. But not for David. For him, only Angeline could turn him on. Even if there were a thousand naked Catty in front of him, David wouldn't falter one bit.

Or maybe not. David is still a normal men. But he will surely try his best to not get poisoned by Catty's charm.

"Haven't you spent all your life searching for information about me?" David asked coldly, making Catty chuckle.

"All right, then I'll tell you my story."

David corrects Catty's position, which is getting slumped by the minute. The two annoying meats on Catty's chest stuck to his back were really, really troublesome for David.

"I was raised by my father without a mother. My mother died as a result of conflicts in my grandfather's family. My grandfather was the owner of the biggest business empire at the time, and he wanted my mother to marry someone who came from a conglomerate family, but my mother preferred my father. Shortly after I was born, my grandfather sent someone to kill our family. But while on the run, my mother sacrificed herself to buy time so we could escape. And since then, I've only lived alone with my father. "

David just kept going. Although he is not interested in Catty's life story, because his ears don't have an off button, all he can do is listen to what Catty says.

"My life is truly perfect. Even without a mother, I have a father who really loves me. Since I was in elementary school, my friends really like me because I am a smart student. I got my first scholarship when I entered high school. In the second grade, my father died of a disease he had been hiding for a long time, heart cancer. At that time my world was not so devastated because the people around me were very nice to me. And when I graduated high school, I decided to take a scholarship to the army school. "

Catty paused for a moment when the pain from the snake venom in her body recurred. Every few minutes Catty must have felt her body twitch, her head would feel very dizzy and her heart felt like she was being squeezed by something very hard.

As the pain gradually subsided, she returned to tell her story.

"I got the highest score in all fields, even before graduating I received an official invitation to join the elite team called SWAT. At that time I was still a member of Team C, but because of my increasing performance, it didn't take one year for me to be placed in Team A. And my first mission was to spy on the movement of a mafia group that was about to carry out massive human trafficking."

"Everything is still under control, until a small provocation led to a war between the two mafia groups. I was really caught in the war between the two mafia groups and almost lost my life. If I remember the events after that, I would prefer to die. Do you know what happened next? "

David was just silent as he continued to carry her. He had been holding Catty's body for hours, which was not classified as a light body, but David never stopped and kept walking as if his stamina had never run out.

What made David so strong were the things on his mind. He wanted to reach the closest settlement as soon as possible and find a way to let Angeline know that he was fine and would be returning home soon. David really didn't want to worry his wife for any longer.

"When I was really cornered, someone appeared out of nowhere, with a sniper rifle slaughtering the two mafia groups who were fighting. Alone. I shot him by accident, but luckily my shot missed because otherwise that person would be killed on the spot. As a result of my negligence, I was taken hostage by the person I accidentally almost killed. He told me to hold my breath as long as possible and led me to drift with him into the city sewers. And that man took me to the hideout of his mafia group; one of the most feared members of the mafia group at that time. No wonder he was able to finish off two mafia groups who were fighting, all by himself. "

"I had the wrong idea that he was a good person, because after that, I was allowed to be a delicious 'meal' for his friends. I can't remember, my eyes were closed and my hands and feet were tied around the edge of the bed. There were maybe six teen to seventeen people who used my body to satisfy their desires. Until finally, after they were satisfied playing with my body, I was thrown away like a useless pile of trash."

"From then on, I held a grudge that might never be satisfied against the person who made me have to live a dark life for the rest of my life. When I heard the rumors that my target of revenge had died because of being betrayed by his friends, my life was completely without direction. I wandered around day and night, inviting every man to make love to me and then killing them all just before they could reach orgasm. I killed them all blindly, but it all ended when I heard the name of a rich businessman who was about to end his bachelor's age went viral on social media. People are busy talking about how handsome the groom is, and how beautiful the bride is. Really a couple that will envy anyone who sees. From then on, revenge, the only reason I survive in this dirty world, ignited again. "

David tried to stay calm. He understood very well who the person Catty had been talking about. He really can't comment because David is the one who causes Catty to live a very hard and dark life, a terrible life that was away from the two naive creatures named 'Peace' and 'Justice'.

Maybe a million apologies wouldn't be enough for Catty to forgive David. He could only let fate determine the outcome of their battle.

Because whatever happens in the future, David will protect whatever is valuable to him, especially Angeline, because Angeline has been the only reason he is still breathing in this dirty world.

No matter what great war awaits him ahead, David will face it all, even if his life is at stake.
