Too Late To Say I Love You

“Strip off her clothes!” It never occurred to Gwen White that her husband would order a bunch of men to strip her! Throughout the ten years of crushing on him and two years of marriage, Gwen loved Jared Crawford madly, but he despised and hated her to her bones. That said, when Gwen decided to leave Jared for good, he personally brought her back from the depths of hell and begged her to start all over again...

Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Toy With Her As You Please!

“Strip off her clothes!” Inside a damp and dark prison, a man ordered coldly while standing by the only window in a cell. Three prison guards with evil smiles approached a beautiful woman, who was hiding in a corner. Gwen White kept backing away with a pale face until she hit the wall and could not retreat anymore. “Don’t, don’t come near me…” Two of the prison guards exchanged glances and pounced on her to press down one of her hands each. “Let go of me! Let go of me!” Gwen struggled with all her might, but before she could break free from the prison guards who were already pressing her down, the third guard ripped off her blouse’s buttons at once. She held her clothes tightly while she pushed the prison guards away, but how was she a match for three big men? When Gwen White was pushed to the ground, the men, who reeked of sweat, took the opportunity to touch her all over. Gwen shouted at the top of her lungs, “Jared Crawford! I’m your wife! Are you out of your mind? How can you let them do this to me?!” Jared Crawford looked at her with a stronger disgust when he heard her calling herself his wife. He uttered ruthlessly, “Strip her until she’s naked!”“No — No — “Save me!!” Gwen White resisted so fiercely that the three prison guards decided to cooperate. She had never been so afraid and felt as if she was a fish on a chopping board, ready to be sliced up at any time. “Jared! Make them go away now!” Gwen was nauseous and was close to breaking down. Even then, Jared kept quiet and looked on indifferently! Tears began rolling down Gwen White’s eyes. She was his wife, so how could he do something like that to her? … No… Gwen was wrong. Did Jared ever treat her as his wife? If he did, he would not have sent her to prison! Jared Crawford bathed in the only ray of light in the cell, but he was as cold as ice. He simply ignored the woman’s cry for help. Jared left only after seeing the three prison guards stripping off Gwen White’s clothes such that only her thin undergarments were left. “Gwen White, it doesn’t feel good to have your clothes stripped off, is it? Do you finally understand Janice’s pain? Have you finally learned not to do to others what you wouldn’t have them do to you?” Jared Crawford looked down at the trembling woman, who was hugging her clothes tightly. His eyes were filled with extreme loathing for her! He would never forget what he witnessed today. If he had not arrived in time, what would the three men have done to Janice? He dared not imagine it. ‘It was this b*tch who did it!’ “How many times do I have to explain before you’ll trust me? I never hired anyone to hurt Janice Sanders!” Gwen White burst into tears. ‘He believes everything Janice says because she’s the woman he likes. ‘Even if I’ve done nothing, he sent me to prison because of what Janice told him, and he even ordered these men to strip me… ‘But I’ve liked him for ten years, and I’ve loved him throughout my youth. How can he not listen to my explanation…’ Jared Crawford only thought that Gwen was giving an excuse. He suddenly grabbed her neck and said, “Are you saying that Janice would hurt herself to slander you? Who do you think you are? Gwen White, are you not going to admit it if I don’t teach you a lesson?” Gwen was suffocating, but she bit her lips and responded, “Why should I admit something that I didn’t do?”“Okay, very well, let’s see how long you’re going to be stubborn about admitting your mistake!” Jared laughed due to great anger. He simply lifted her and threw her to the prison guards. “This woman’s a gift for you!”

Chapter 2 Chapter 2 I Plead Guilty!

It was as though a piece of juicy meat was thrown to a pack of evil wolves. “Jared, Jared, save me… “Get lost! Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me, ah —” Gwen White really felt like dying at that instant. She tried her best to hold on to her remaining clothes and cried out to Jared Crawford for help. The prisoners from the other cells could not stand her hopeless cries. Jared kept a straight face even after looking at her. “Experience how terrified and fearful Janice was feeling at that moment. Oh, no, perhaps you’ll enjoy the process. After all, you’ve probably slept with many men.” He turned and left after saying that! A click was heard as he closed the cell’s door behind him, and he disappeared from her sight. He really left Gwen with the three men! The three prison guards became more barbarous after Jared left. “Your skin’s so tender that water might flow out if I pinch you.” Gwen crawled toward the door with all her might. Even if she were to die, she would never be sullied by the men! However, the prison guards pulled her back by her ankles after she crawled a few steps, hence she scratched the floor while she tried to scramble away. She felt the immense pain on her fingertips through her heart as they were linked. Left with no choice, Gwen shouted in despair, “I plead guilty! I plead guilty! “Jared! I admit that I hired some thugs to bully Janice, I admit…”“Bam!” The cell’s door was opened once more, and the man who left stood tall like a god who ruled the world. “I admit it, I plead guilty, everything was my doing… Jared, don’t do this to me…” Gwen crawled to his feet and clung to the bottom of his pants like a drowning person grabbing onto the last straw. All of a sudden, the world spun around her, and her eyes closed as she passed out. By the time Gwen regained consciousness, she was already at the hospital. The sounds of an IV drip were heard, as well as some voices in the background. She could tell that the voices belonged to Jared and Grandpa Crawford. “B*stard!” Grandpa Crawford trembled due to anger. “Gwen is your legal wife, and yet you let those scums bully her. What good does it do you?!” Jared responded indifferently, “I was only frightening her so that she’ll plead guilty.”“Plead guilty? Didn’t I ask you to break off all ties with that woman long ago? Jared, I’m telling you, Gwen’s the only daughter-in-law that I’ll accept in the Crawford family! I’m warning you, you better behave well and stop causing trouble, or I’ll make you pay!” Grandpa Crawford chastised and slammed the door as he left. When Jared turned to look, he noticed that Gwen had already awoken. He sneered. “Don’t think that this is over, Gwen, I’m not done settling accounts with you yet!” ‘He actually thinks what he did to me at the prison wasn’t enough…’ Gwen felt a throbbing pain in her heart. She expressed with a flat voice, “You never trust what I say. You only trust Janice Sanders, and you’ll only frame me… Jared, you always say I have another man, but you’re clearly the only man I have.” Jared looked more displeased after the matter was brought up. “Go on! Keep pretending! You know best what you did during our wedding night!” ‘Here we go again,’ Gwen thought. ‘I clearly gave him my virginity during our wedding night. ‘He kept insisting that I betrayed him and that he never entered the bridal room. ‘But how could I have cheated on him?’ Everyone in Fuzhou knew Gwen had loved the Crawford family’s eldest son for ten years, so how could she have slept with another man on her wedding night? Gwen felt like her heart was pricked by a needle. “Can you stop insulting and say unfair things about me? On our wedding night, we…”“Don’t you think I would know if I slept with you or not?” Jared cut her off and said with a gloomy face, “Gwen, do you know why I’ve never laid a finger on you even though we were married for a year? “It’s because — I despise you for being dirty!”

Chapter 3 Chapter 3 I’ll Make You Cry!

‘I despise you for being dirty.’ The words still lingered in Gwen’s mind after Jared left. She was already very pale, but her face became as white as a sheet. A woman’s gloating voice was suddenly heard outside the door at that moment. “Tsk, tsk, tsk, how pitiful you are to be called ‘dirty’ by your husband. If I were you, I would’ve jumped out of the window to solve the problem.” Gwen could not be more familiar with the voice. She clenched the bedsheet. “Why are you here?” It was Janice Sanders! “Of course I’m here to see you,” Janice answered with a smile, “I heard Jared tortured you in prison. I’m so sorry that you ended up like this, it was all because I slandered you in front of him.” ‘She’s even admitting that she slandered me!’ Gwen shivered at the thought of the three disgusting prison guards, who took advantage of her. “Janice, there’s no grudge between you and me, why do you have to cause me trouble?!” ‘No grudge? ‘She doesn’t know how many tricks I’ve to use to snatch her opportunity and win Jared’s heart over. ‘In the end, my efforts were all in vain because of her. How dare she say that there’s no grudge between us?!’ With a sinister look, Janice sneered. “If it wasn’t for you meddling in the situation, I would’ve gotten married to Jared long ago! Gwen White, other than having Grandpa Crawford support you, how are you better than me? But it’s okay, just you wait. I’ll make you return the ‘Mrs. Crawford’ title to me while crying!”“So, so you accused me of finding thugs to gang rape you?” Janice admitted it in a straightforward manner, “That’s right, I hired those thugs myself!” Her initially beautiful face was taken over by a look of hatred. “I counted the time well to let Jared witness that scene. Since he loves me so much, he’ll definitely torture you for me, and that’s the price you should pay for taking someone away from me!” Gwen laughed. “Love you so much? Janice, do you really think Jared loves you very much?”“If not? If he doesn’t love me, does he love you instead?”“If he loves you so much, he wouldn’t have married me back then.” Everyone knew Jared did not love Gwen, but very few people knew he had chosen the marriage himself. Gwen’s father died when she was twelve; he had died in an accident to save Grandpa Crawford. From then on, Grandpa Crawford took good care of Gwen and her mom. Not only did he bear the full expenses of Mrs. White’s chemotherapy, but after knowing that Gwen liked Jared, he decided that they would get married. In the beginning, Jared refused to marry Gwen, hence Grandpa Crawford gave him two options: One, marry Gwen and inherit the Crawford Group. Two, refuse the engagement and start his own business. It was a despicable move, but Jared went with the former in the end. If he truly loved Janice, why would he marry another woman for power and status? It was evident that Janice did not have such a worthy place in his heart, after all. Janice exploded because her vulnerable point was exposed. “Shut up!” Gwen continued, “Even if you successfully get rid of me, what are you going to do when another woman, who’s beneficial to Jared, is going to marry him in the future? Are you going to slander that person too?”“I asked you to shut up!” Janice grabbed a glass from the bedside table and hurled it at Gwen. Gwen’s head bled as a result, and she instantly became dizzy. “Who are you to teach me a lesson? Believe it or not, I can make you pay the price now!” Blood was flowing down from Gwen’s forehead such that it soon went into her eyes. Before she had even regained a clear vision, she heard a thud as Janice kneeled in front of her! “Miss White, I’m begging you, please have mercy on me.” Instead of being arrogant like before, Janice kneeled pitifully on the ground. “I guarantee that I’ll cut off all ties with Jared, and I won’t snatch him away from you. I guarantee you!”“Janice, what are you doing…”

Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Who Is He?

Janice knocked her head hard on the ground and said, “I swear I’ll never disturb your lives again, Miss White. Please don’t complain to Mr. Crawford, and please don’t ask him to retract Jared’s right of inheritance. It’s all my fault…” Gwen had no idea what she was talking about! Her head ached, and she got off her bed shakily while putting her hand on the wound. Before she had even touched Janice, Janice suddenly raised her hand to slap herself and fell to one side. “Ah —”“Bam!” The ward’s door was suddenly opened, and Jared, who had somehow returned after leaving, rushed in. He pushed Gwen away before she could even explain. “Gwen White, how dare you bully Janice again!” Gwen fell to the ground, and her forehead was bleeding so much that she almost passed out. Janice sobbed. “Jared, I love you, I love you so much that I’m willing to die, but Miss White said she’ll ask your dad to retract your right of inheritance if we’re still together. I can’t watch you lose everything, so let’s… Let’s break up…” Jared had always viewed his marriage with Gwen as a humiliation. It was not only because it pointed out the fact that he was threatened, but also because it kept reminding him of how he was cheated on during their wedding night! Therefore, he was enraged when he heard that Gwen had actually threatened Janice with the matter. Jared turned his hand to grab Gwen by her neck to carry her to the window. “Gwen, you’re courting death!” He used so much strength that Gwen could not breathe, so she struggled. “Jared…”“Do you think I’ll still be afraid of your tricks? I’ve had enough of you! I’ll send you to hell now!” Jared exerted more strength to push Gwen harder such that half of her body was already outside the window. They were roughly seven floors above the ground at that moment. On the other hand, Gwen grabbed Jared’s hand tightly. “No, no, it wasn’t me who said those words…” Gwen was finding it harder to breathe, whereas Janice smiled smugly behind Jared. ‘He’s really intending to kill me.’ Gwen felt like she was close to death for the very first time. “Jared…” She gathered all her energy to utter his name. Tears began rolling down her eyes, and they dripped onto the back of his hand along with her blood. Gwen’s cries were so sorrowful, despairing, and painful. “Why do you never believe me? Am I that unbearable to you? “Ten years, it has been ten years! From 15 years old to 25 years old, from secondary school to university, from a girl into a wife, you’re the only one in my eyes and my heart, and I gave my all to love you. I don’t blame you for not loving me, but how can you… How can you not give me even a bit of trust? “What have I done that was so unforgivable that you hate me so much and want me to die…” ‘He has always been like that. He trusts everything Janice says. ‘I’m the one who’s bleeding now, but he still thinks I bullied her. ‘I’ve loved him for ten years, am I really nothing to him at all?’ Jared furrowed his eyebrows when he felt something burning the back of his hand. When he noticed the look of despair in Gwen’s eyes, he unknowingly let go a little as she did not seem like she was faking it. ‘Do I hate her? ‘Yes. ‘I hate being shoved about by others. She forced me to marry her by using her dad’s saving grace unto my dad, how can I stand the ridiculous humiliation? ‘Besides, she cheated on me on our wedding night, I’ve been kind enough to not kill her!’ However, when Gwen poured her heart out, something emerged from a corner of Jared’s heart, hence his heart ached at that moment. Upon noticing Jared’s strange expression, Janice was worried he would sympathize with Gwen. She blinked and immediately pretended to faint. “Jared…” Jared’s attention was instantly shifted. He let go of Gwen and quickly ran over to Janice. “Janice!” Janice shut her eyes as though she was unconscious, so Jared quickly carried her. He said before he darted out of the ward, “Gwen, I’ll settle this with you next time!” Gwen lay on the ground powerlessly. Blood was still flowing from her wound. Nobody came to save her even after a long time. ‘Am I really going to die?’ Her eyes were slowly closing, but she noticed through the gap between her eyes a tall figure entering the ward. ‘Who… ‘Is he?’
