Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 840

Elysia was pacing the room, her nerves frayed to breaking point.

"Reincarnation? That's just self-deception, Keith! You shouldn't have gone after Tarquin. You knew he was innocent, knew how much Elizabeth adored him. Hurting him won't bring you joy, only more misery."

"Why would I feel miserable? Sure, Tarquin didn't partake in the Bradford family's misdeeds, but I've sworn to bring down the entire Bradford clan. I can't just let him off the hook!

And he's Kendrick's only blood. If I spare him, who will spare me? Only with his death can I find release!"

Keith's expression turned dark and menacing,

"Do you have any idea how terrified and hopeless I felt when Kendrick dragged me into those woods? It's a nightmare I can't escape from!

The Bradford family destroyed me, but Kendrick's betrayal hurt no less!

If, and I say if, after hurting me, he could've given her a bright future, I might have accepted it. But she was anything but happy, dying tragically young!

Because of him! All his fault!

He forced her to flee her homeland, to settle in a foreign land!

He let her die at her most beautiful age!

He couldn't protect her, couldn't give her the future she deserved, so why did he snatch her from me?!

Without him, she could've had a happy, beautiful life!

I despise the Bradford family, Kendrick most of all. But with him gone, I'll settle the score with his son. I want Tarquin to taste every misery, endure every torment before I'm satisfied!"

Elysia held her breath, staring at him in horror. This was the first time she'd seen Keith lose his temper.

His rage was frightening; his eyes bloodshot, his complexion ashen, every muscle in his face tensed like a beast unleashed.

A stark contrast to the sunny, handsome, and refined man she knew on any other day.

Keith, realizing he'd lost control, took a moment to compose himself before speaking again,

"Sorry for scaring you. You don't need to worry about my vendetta against the Bradford family. Stop trying to convince me. Just look forward to reuniting with our baby. As for Tarquin, forget him. He'll be dead soon."
