Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1753

Staring at the marriage certificate in front of her, Skyler hadn't yet escaped the grips of her own terror when she heard Zavier's words, "Just keep me happy, and I might just help the Blue family rise again."

Skyler couldn't care less about the fate of the Blue family; she wished for nothing more than their downfall. It was her sister Iris who mattered to her the most. "What about my sister? She must have tried to get in touch with me. If she couldn't reach me, she must be worried."

"Dead," Zavier said bluntly.

Skyler's heart seemed to stop for a second. "What did you say?"

Zavier let out a small chuckle, leaning close to whisper in her ear, "I said, your precious little sister is dead."

"You're lying!" Skyler blurted out.d2

"Sent by your precious Blue family to please some high roller. They played too rough, ended up killing her," Zavier said with a tone of mock regret.

In that instant, Skyler felt as if she could hear the sound of her heart shattering. Drained of all strength, she collapsed to the floor, wanting to ask more but finding herself voiceless. She feared hearing even more brutal truths, knowing full well her own family was capable of such inhumanity.

In a hazy daze, Skyler faintly heard Zavier's voice tinged with a rare urgency, "Skyler, I'm taking you to the hospital now. You better hang on for dear life, cause if I haven't given you permission to die, you better not even think about it. If you die, I'll bring down the entire Blue family."

Whatever else he said was lost to her; she didn't care to listen, as a buzzing noise filled her ears.

When she came to, Skyler was lying in a hospital bed, a TV hanging on the wall across from her. She immediately turned it on, catching a news flash.

Nora was being arrested on suspicion of murder. Could Nora have something to do with the deaths of Zavier's brother and father?

From Marissa's lips, Skyler pieced together the events that had unfolded during her captivity: Zavier swiftly seized control of Rivera Inc.. Subsequently, he exposed the culprit responsible for the tragic deaths of his father and brother.

Marissa was usually reserved, but now she couldn't stop talking about it, only pausing when she heard Zavier's cough.

Both women were startled. Marissa recovered first, "Oh, Zavier, you're here. I should get going."

Once Marissa left, Skyler lost all appetite, not wanting another sip of soup. As she went to cover the bowl, Zavier's voice cut through the silence, "Finish that soup."

His voice was cold and deep, making Skyler shiver with fear.

"You wanted to marry me, have my children, and help the Blue family rise from the ashes. I've given you all that," Zavier moved closer, lifting her chin to look into her eyes. "From now on, your life is mine. Get better, so you're ready whenever I need you."
