Chapter 70 - Everything that goes round, comes round too.

"Heartless? Pretending to be soft hearted? Huh! Do you really know the meaning of heartless? If what I did was heartless, then what would you call yourself? Do you even know what you have done to me? No, all this while you were only thinking about your revenge. The revenge for the deed which don't even exist. I really regret falling for such a jerk", she growled, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Deming wanted to say something but words didn't came out his lips. He could see extreme pain in her eyes. His heart was regretting something but he was too blind and heartless to understand his heart.

She took a small step towards him, her eyes filled with pain and widespread odium for him, "I am not a doll, that you playing with. I am accusing you for my pain, the pain which is solely given by you. Do you think my heart is stone, which can't feel the pain of severing. If yes, then you are highly mistaken, Mr.Wang"

She tilted her head to glance the lady on the bed, "You have done something really horrendous to me because of her. You have played with my feelings, my heart just for getting your so called 'revenge' for her but do you think it was fair to me. It's okay, I won't accuse you for anything you have done to me. But please don't do this to anyone else because everything that goes round comes round too. I will pray for you, pray that you won't feel the pain which I have felt ".

She turned her head, to head back. This time Deming didn't utter a single word, he was just glancing her back leaving. All this while someone was at door hearing their conversations.

It was Murphy, leaning on the wall outside the door. From the day, he came to know about Deming's plotting he was not feeling good for Lifen.

For him, Lifen was quite innocent girl and she or any one else doesn't deserve such revenge. He has always seen her as a soft hearted girl and after digging into her past records, one thing he is sure of that she can never hurt anyone intentionally.

When Lifen opened the door, she saw him leaning. She gave him a short glance and dashed out the mansion.

Murphy wanted to walk into the room but at this moment he felt, he should be somewhere else.

Deming was still surrounded with Lifen's words. Now after thinking about it clearly, he knew that what he has done was really pathetic. He has crushed someone heart just because of his anger. But it's of no use now, because it can't be mended.

He stood up and walked to the other side of the bed where there was a spare space for him. In his way, he saw a mirror image of him. It was dressed in all black like him. His eyes were dark enough to scare anyone with death. He was the devil inside him.

"So are you giving up on your revenge, after coming so close to it? Have you forgotten your love for your Jie? Look at her, she is lying there on the bed, almost lifeless", the 'devil of his heart'● asked him.

It was not the first time he was seeing him in front of him. He was already quite familiar with the devil inside him as he was always been his best friend in making his business and works in underworld of top notch quality. His decision always considered his views.

"Yeah, I have enough of this revenge now. I have already ruined her feelings. Now I can't ruin her future", he replied diligently.

The devil shook his head in disappointment, "You are mistaking...", he was about to utter another word but at that instant another mirror image of Deming came in front of him. He was dressed in white giving off an aura of hope and happiness. It was the angelic side of his heart.

The devil's lips got twitch at him. He rolled his eyes on the angel Deming. I was the first time, Deming has seen this side of him. This angel hasn't ever came across him.

He was confused and was staring him like he has something really unusual. "Don't stare me like that. I was always there inside you, it's just you didn't ever gave me any chance to confront you. But today, you have given me the first call, so I am here", the angel voiced out politely.

He gave a piercing look at the devil, "And now when I am with you, don't listen to him. What you have decided is the right thing. You have already cause much pain to that girl and that too without any of her fault. It's time to leave her, to live on her ways. Let her mend her heart by herself. You have already hurt her enough".

The devil contradicted his words and soon both voices collided among themselves. Deming was confused with their words but he was clearheaded about something. Now he has enough with this revenge. He can't hurt her like this. The pain inside her eyes, her eyes everything was piercing deep inside his heart.

"You don't have to lecture me anymore, I know what I have to do now. I have already decided. I have already done much disaster to her and that's enough now", he declared. His declaration cause a grin on angel's face whereas the devil gritted his teeth hard and his expression sank. I was the first time Deming has listened to his heart and not to his brain.

Was this the sign of changing? Change in his heart. Soon the two voices got disappeared and Deming walked to the bed and laid his back on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling and remembering the words Lifen has casted on him. Still remembering those words were causing the same piercing pain in his heart.
