Her Rebirth of Retribution

fair to me!"

"You've said it yourself, Callie! All of those were matters of a previous life! Whatever I did in that previous life has no bearing on this one because it never happened. And now, you want to hold the mistakes I made in my previous life against me in this one? That simply isn't "You're right. You should be grateful that you've never done anything to wrong me in this lifetime."

Calista gently chuckled next to his ear as she was held in his embrace.

"I've already crushed whose who wronged me in their previous life and in this one. It's precisely because you've been good to me in this life, and because I'm not one to blur the lines of right and wrong, that I've told you the truth. I don't plan on seeking vengeance. However, I don't plan on being with you anymore either. It just doesn't sit right with me."

Kallum looked at her in shock. "Callie? You can't do this! It's not fair to me!"

"Unfortunately, I can't offer you fairness," Calista stated calmly.

She pushed Kallum away, straightening her clothes as she continued, "If you don't agree to call off the wedding, I won't go back with you. Choosing not to seek revenge against you is already the limit of my patience. As long as you agree to call off the wedding, I will continue to treat you as I did before. But once you recover, I will leave."

Call off the wedding? Leave?

She relentlessly pursued Kallum, nearly suffocating him with her acts of affection. After landing one blow, she swiftly followed with another, leaving Kallum with a sense of agony that was almost unbearable.

He clutched at his chest where her warmth used to linger. It felt as though a gaping hole had been torn open there. The discomfort was unbearable, yet it was the overwhelming sense of emptiness and helplessness that truly pained him.

Am I expected to just accept this outcome? I'm just supposed to stand by and watch as things spiral out of control between us? No! I don't want this!

Suddenly, he seized Calista's hand and started to drag her away from the colossal structure that was akin to a castle.

In the midst of the flower field, Kallum was panting heavily. However, the moment he saw Calista, he made a sudden resolution. He unlocked the fingerprint lock on the key to his research center.

"I don't know how to argue with you, or what to do to avoid hurting you while still satisfying myself. All I can do is to show you that I am determined not to give up."

Calista simply looked at him in confusion. After he unlocked the key with his fingerprint, a thin slice on the key spun open. At its center, there was a button which he pressed with a resolute determination. "What are you doing?"

Calista suddenly felt a sense of unease, but in that moment, Kallum laughed.

As dusk fell, the sky was set ablaze with the hues of the fiery clouds, casting an intense glow that seemed to ignite twin infernos in his eyes. The intensity of his gaze was so potent, it felt as though it could melt her. "You're scared of it, aren't you? But with me here, there's nothing you need to fear."

As his voice faded, a rumbling sound echoed from beneath the ground. Calista's sense of unease intensified, as if some emotion was about to burst forth from the earth itself.

"Stop! What are you doing? Isn't this the ancestral property your grandfather left you?"

Kallum didn't respond. Instead, he simply walked behind Calista, held her in his arms, and gently forced her to look in the direction of the research center.

"Nothing is more important than you. Even if it's a place I've painstakingly crafted, if you despise it, then it should vanish!"

Upon finishing his sentence, a

tremendous explosion suddenly erupted within the research center! Immediately after, the blasts continued without pause, all

triggered from within. This catel net

the massive, cold marble exterior to gradually collapse inward,

completely undamaged otherwise. Does Kallum actually intend to blow up this place?

Calista's heart pounded a bit faster. "Y-You've activated the self-destruct system?"

"Yeah." Kallum nodded, his composure unshaken as if nothing had happened.

As Kallum watched the large building before him crumble, the inexplicable fear and unease in his heart vanished, and his rationality returned at last.

So what if Calista was reincarnated with hatred? So what if there is now a great chasm between us? Once I fall in love, I love deeply. Besides, I've given my true heart, so I absolutely won't allow failure! I will remove all the obstacles that stand between us through my actions! I'd never give Callie the chance to leave me!

"W-Why did you have to do that?"

Calista was utterly astounded, eventually closing her eyes in distress.

Kallum gently covered her ears with both hands and whispered softly into them, "Whatever I do for you will always be worth it."

With the resounding boom of an explosion, the building, which was initially crumbling in small pieces, suddenly seemed as if its core had been hollowed out, giving rise to a small mushroom cloud.

It felt as if the world was on the

brink of destruction, with buildings caving in on a massive scale. The thunderous noise was relentlessly ringing in their ears. As dust shot up

toward the sky, occasional bursts of

fire could be seen within. Against the backdrop of fiery clouds, akin to a fiery sunset, it felt eerily like the apocalypse was upon them. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Kallum had truly destroyed it all for her sake.

Calista tensed up all over as she stared at the place, where she was once held captive, get destroyed before her very eyes. She couldn't quite identify the feeling in her heart, but it felt as if something deep, within her had collapsed as well. She wanted to control it, but she couldn't. Then, it suddenly dawned on her that this place had been built by Kallum, who had put so much effort into it amidst his busy schedule.

With that thought, her throat suddenly became very dry.
