Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 852

Phineas was sprawled on the ground, shaking uncontrollably. His eyes, bloodshot, were locked onto the horrifying scene unfolding before him.

His heart was ablaze with a furious desire for vengeance, yet he was utterly powerless.

All he could do was lie there, forced to witness his child getting hurt, to see the love of his life being trampled and violated.

He groaned in helpless anger, tears mingling with blood streaming down his face.

This nightmare dragged on from dusk till the wee hours of the night.

Gideon was a monster. He deliberately tormented Phineas by assaulting Kelsey in every conceivable manner, over and over, right in front of Phineas's eyes.

Kelsey's screams of hysteria gradually faded into silence. Her fierce resistance dwindled until she no longer had the strength to fight back.

Phineas's eyes went from wide with rage to tightly shut, tears of despair streaming down his face.

What was once a blissful, loving relationship between Phineas and Kelsey had been brutally shattered by Gideon, casting them into a living hell.

From joy to utter despair, their lives were destroyed, leaving them with unresolved anguish.

Kelsey was tortured to death by Gideon, her body left in disarray, her eyes void of tears.

Phineas died of a broken heart. As a man, he could not bear the sight of his beloved being humiliated right before his eyes, powerless to intervene. It would have been a mercy to have killed him instead.

With his dying breath, he was still looking towards Kelsey, the pain in his heart unimaginable.

The Inkster family's two sons were murdered by bodyguards, their necks snapped on Gideon's orders.

"Gideon said, ""Root and branch, let's reunite them in hell.""

With that, he tidied his clothes, not a speck of blood on him, and left as if nothing had happened, even having the audacity to grab a slice of Kelsey's homemade pie on his way out.

To him, the lives of Kelsey and Phineas were inconsequential, no more significant than insects.

Gideon had no prior connection or grudge against the Inkster family. His vile act was spurred simply because he happened upon Kelsey by chance and was captivated by her beauty.

Because Phineas wasn't willing to trade his wife for wealth.
