Revenge with My Undercover Cop Hubby
Chapter 75 Send Kelly Away
Eric froze for a moment, clearly guilty.
He stayed silent for a long time before saying, “Kelly, I wish more than anyone else that you …
“Wish I were dead,” Kelly wrote on the whiteboard, cutting him off.
Eric wanted her dead. He wanted her to die in his memories.
He wanted her to die in Solmaris.

This man wanted her to die at the moment when he loved her most, so she would become nothing more than the deepest memory in his heart.
“I was badly injured, bleeding out, and you fed me water. When I came back from Solmaris, you didn’t come and pick me up right away. Regina brought someone to harm me, and you chose to ignore it and walk away. Eric, more than anyone else, you wanted me dead.” Kelly signed these words, not writing them down.
Eric may not have understood sign language, but he could surely read Kelly’s expression in this moment.
“Kelly.” Eric’s heart ached. He couldn’t stand the despair and anger in her eyes.
But he cared too much about his own interests.
“I love you,” he said, pulling Kelly tightly into his arms.
His voice and body trembled.
Eric claimed he loved her, but Kelly didn’t care whether he was telling the truth.
She still remembered the day she went to the police station in Seaville to meet him, when he walked in wearing a watch worth millions and a perfectly tailored suit. That was when she knew her dream was shattered.
Slowly closing her eyes, Kelly’s hot tears poured out uncontrollably.
“I know you’ve suffered a lot. I don’t care what you went through over there; I just want you to come back to me. I really, truly … I’d prayed countless times, just to have you back. If you come back, I’ll do anything for you,” Eric said, his voice filled with pain.
He hated himself–hated how things had come to this point with Kelly.
Eric hated himself for being powerless and how reality had forced them into this situation.
He hated himself for wanting Kelly to be understanding and obedient, for wanting her to be his secret lover, all for the sake of the situation.
“I never wanted you dead. I just wanted you to understand me, and I’d work hard to make the rest right for you.” When he made Kelly drink water in the hospital, it was to keep her unconscious a little longer, until the Lynches found a way to save Clarissa, so they wouldn’t target Kelly.

After leaving with the children, he waited for ten minutes before calling the police, reporting a disturbance in the alley, and asking them to check it out.
He thought… Eric had never intended to hurt Kelly.
“Kelly, why can’t you understand? It’s been five years. You’ve been gone for five years; you don’t know the cruelty of society. Once we started working, we became an adult. We’re no longer the same as when we were in school. In this world, without money, power, connections, or resources, we can achieve nothing.” Eric cupped Kelly’s face, still trying to make her understand.
Kelly cried and pushed Eric, her emotions spiraling out of control.
“Kelly, look at me, look at me.” Eric forced her not to turn away. “I never wanted to abandon you, and I never will. Just give me some time. Let me hide you, just for a little while. I’ll give you a time frame, two years. No, one year. Give me one year, and I’ll be able to protect you in front of the Lynches, okay?”
“Leave. I don’t want to hear this,” Kelly wrote through her tears, asking him to go.
Eric’s eyes reddened as he held Kelly tightly, refusing to let go. “Kelly, I’m just afraid. I’m really scared. For the last five years, only I have known how terrifying the Lynches are.
“I’m begging you. I’m afraid I can’t protect you now; I’m begging you,” Eric sobbed, holding her tighter.
“Leave!” Kelly wrote with trembling hands.
“Come with me. I’ll take you back to my hometown. You can stay there for a while. We won’t divorce. You’ll always be my wife. I won’t give up on you; I won’t. I’ll protect you.” Eric was desperate to send Kelly away.
He had come to see Kelly because he was afraid.
Tyson’s death had scared him.
He stood up and began packing Kelly’s things.
Kelly angrily pushed him, but she was not strong enough.
Eric continued packing her things, gripping her wrist as he tried to drag her out. “Kelly, listen. Let’s leave for a while, sign the settlement, and hide away for a bit, okay?”
Eric dragged Kelly to the door.
Kelly glared at him, stomping on his foot. “I will never sign the agreement, absolutely not!”
She angrily stared at Eric, knowing that no matter what he said, it was all about getting her to sign the paper.
“Kelly!” Eric, in pain, leaned against the door, helpless and despairing, lowering his head. “I’m afraid I can’t protect you anymore.”
Clarissa had already figured out how to send Kelly to prison, and there was nothing they had not thought of.
They were nuts.
Eric slapped himself hard, hating his own incompetence. Five years, and he was still under Beau’s control.

He wasn’t threatening her.
The reality was just too dark.
