Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 335 - 334: One Kick Shattered All His Dreams
No...
After this long text, there was a blank space.
Nothing left...
In just a moment, a tearing pain cut straight to his soul, almost making him faint from the pain.
There were no more diaries because her heart had already died.
She left him nothing.
Not a single thing, not even a word.
Lily...
He frantically flipped backward until he reached the last page, where he discovered an envelope.
A gentle expression appeared in his eyes, as if he had obtained the most precious thing in the world, and he carefully opened it.
Inside, was a photo of Lily.
She smiled softly, like a little angel, yet she had a unique charm and aura.
As if calling out to him.
Dom...
Dom...
Dom...
At that moment, Dominic Rhodes couldn’t hold back any longer; he let out a howl and began to cry, rubbing her beautiful face on the photo.
Crying out heart-wrenchingly: "Don’t leave, come back... Lila... Please come back?"
"Lila, I beg you to come back, I was wrong..."
"I beg you, please come back, I won’t be a star anymore, we’ll live an ordinary life together..."
"I will show you the sceneries you want to see, please come back, Lila..."
At this moment, he cried like an abandoned child.
However, this was karma; he had abandoned the woman who loved him as if he were her life.
"Come back, I was wrong... I miss you so much..."
Responding to him was the empty loneliness of the prison, as if condemning him to the eighteenth level of hell, never to rise again.
In the abyss of pain and loneliness, unable to climb out, he could not find redemption.
At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of what Tiana Thorne said when he was arrested by the police.
The more heartless he had been then, the heavier and more painful it was now.
For the rest of his life, he could only live in pain, repenting for what he had done.
And the woman who loved, respected, cherished, and protected him was gone forever, never to be found again in this life.
Completely lost.
The most painful thing is not losing, but having experienced ultimate happiness, only to end up with nothing.
Tiana Thorne intended to make him live a life worse than death in prison for the rest of his days.
She succeeded.
At this moment, he finally knew what true heartbreak was.
Tiana Thorne had that capability.
At this moment, he no longer obsessed over how she knew everything that had happened before.
Immersed in the pain of loss, he could never find peace.
Tiana Thorne was right, he didn’t deserve anyone’s love.
A buried memory suddenly surfaced.
A woman cried as she questioned: "Look at what you’ve become now?"
That was his mother.
The man roared drunkenly: "Stop it, stop it, all you ever do is yell, what else do you know besides yelling? I need money, give me money now!"
"I beg you, can you be a bit normal, the child is still here."
"Ha? A child? Who knows which wild man you had this little bastard with, this isn’t my child, give me money, I only want money now, if you don’t give me money, I’ll kill you." The man’s emotions were almost in a frenzied state.
"Gregory Rhodes, you’re a good-for-nothing, you’re just a piece of garbage, all you know is gambling, what else can you do, all you do is bully us mother and child, get out, get out!"
At only ten years old, he cried in the middle of his parents, begging them to stop fighting.
His father, strong, grabbed him in one hand and put a beer bottle against his neck, his eyes bloodshot: "Give me money, if you don’t give me money, I’ll kill him!"
The woman cried terribly: "That is your child, you beast!"
This made him even more irritable, evidently already in a crazed state, he applied more force with the hand holding the beer bottle, immediately, blood seeped from his neck.
Roaring: "Who would believe you, you’re just a whore, your customers are more than the women I’ve met, you tell me this is my child, why should I believe you? Give me money! Give it to me!"
"Okay, I beg you, I beg you not to hurt him, I’ll give you money."
The woman compromised, taking out a stack of money from her bag and throwing it at him.
Seeing the money, the man threw the child aside, crazily picking up the money from the ground, not even looking at his wife and child, and ran out.
This was not the first time it happened, almost every month Dominic Rhodes would experience it several times, even though his mother protected him well, he was always the one who got hurt.
He was tired of this kind of life.
He asked God why other children had their parents with them, while his mother washed her face with tears every day, spending every night in different men’s beds.
While his father, aside from being drunk, gambling, and having violent tendencies, had nothing.
He spent his mother’s hard-earned money to gamble outside, yet despised the fact that she was a sex worker. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Even though he and his father resembled each other significantly, he never acknowledged him as his son.
At only 10 years old, there wasn’t the slightest ray of sunshine in his life, he longed for release, he didn’t want to live like a walking corpse.
Finally, one day, his mother couldn’t take it anymore, and she filed for divorce. His father did not agree and she was beaten badly, in a fit of rage, she hit his father on the head with a stone.
He witnessed the entire process.
The father snatched his mother’s money and ID and went out to gamble, and that day he skipped school and followed behind his father.
Because his father was injured, he wanted to kill him, to kill this inhuman man.
After he left the gambling house, he was beaten up badly by others.
He followed behind him, and at that moment he relented, even if this man was devoid of any goodness, he was his father, after all.
He just hoped he could improve the current life, so his mother wouldn’t have to do those things anymore.
He wanted to have a good talk with his father.
But his father collapsed right in front of him, no matter how he called, he couldn’t wake him up, later the doctor told him his father was dead.
His mother cried a lot in sadness, these years even though he hated his father, he was the only man willing to marry her, even if he married her for her money.
Everything had passed, the surface appeared calm, he thought life could be peaceful now.
But for his education, his mother continued to spend her time with all kinds of men.
In the beginning, he thought that he must grow up quickly, and then earn money with his own hands to let his mother enjoy her later years.
But later, one day, something unforgettable happened, making him eager to leave his mother.
That was when he was thirteen, he clearly remembered it was one winter.
Amidst heavy snow, he made a snowman, for dad, for mom, and for himself.
That day, his mother was not at home, and a man came to the door.
That man kicked over all his illusions with one kick.
