To the Love of My Life

Chapter 456: Torturing People to Death Without Compensation (6)

Later on, she often saw him waiting for Ruby Gregory beneath the dormitory building.

Then she came to know that he was Steve Burton, the dream prince of everyone on campus and the successor to Pristine’s Enterprises.

People had waited for her to speak for so long, someone couldn’t help but quietly ask, “Maya, could it be that your first love truly is one of us who’s sitting here?”

Her first love was just an unknown crush. It was a little secret hidden in her heart; she was too scared to let Steve know.

She put so much effort into making Steve believe that she was sincere towards Ruby. If he found out her first love was actually him, she thought, Steve would undoubtedly blacklist her forever.

Swallowing hard, Maya shook her head, ready to lie that it was not him, but before she did, the ever reticent Steve, in a buoyant mood, stood up and spoke again: “We had an agreement before we started the game. Whatever question you answer, you have to be truthful. If you lie, you’ll be cursed to face dire calamities, to crush bone and soul, to lose family and life.”

Pausing for a moment, Steve spoke in a leisurely manner: “In fact, having your bones crushed and soul scattered isn’t much to fret about, but losing family and life… Although we’re only playing a game, and not everyone might believe, at least no one would curse their parents who bore and raised them or their siblings who are like limbs to themselves, right?”

The threatening words were just a casual joke when they started the game.

Moreover, when playing such games, everyone usually had the sense not to ask any especially difficult questions.

Now, as Steve restated these rules, it posed a serious problem for Maya who was about to lie.

As Steve said, anyone can endure being beaten or insulted, but they could never tolerate disrespect towards their parents.

Moya’s hands clenched into fists. If she lied, it would be equivalent to cursing her parents to die young. That was thousand, if not ten thousand, times more agonizing and brutal than someone cursing her parents to die.

The private room fell silent; everyone was looking at Maya, waiting for her to answer.

The inner turmoil in Maya’s heart felt like a reckless fight. Just when everyone was getting impatient, Maya chose to bite the bullet. Closing her eyes, she clenched her teeth and forced a stiff smile: “My first love is not in this room.”

After all, she chose to do this, willing to put a curse on her own parents, rather than end things with Steve.

The agony in her heart was like being mercilessly stabbed with a knife, but she had to maintain a vibrant smile on her face, softly saying: “He is not our college mate, his name is…” Maya hesitated, then lowered her eyes and blurted out a random name: “Jiang Yang.”

In reality, Steve was confident that Maya wouldn’t dare to reveal his name. The nonsense he had been spouting was just to mess with her, to make her feel uncomfortable!
