Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 817

Nelly's heart leaped when she saw Dailey approaching. But one glance at his stormy expression wiped the smile off her face.

Dailey, usually a man of few words and cooler emotions, rarely showed her warmth. So, instinctively, Nelly knew his simmering anger had something to do with Christine.

And, as expected, his first words were, "Where's Christine?"

Nelly almost burst into laughter. Everything was falling into place just as she had planned. Christine and Dailey had broken up, and now Christine had vanished from Dailey's life. Perfect, just perfect!

"Dai, I have no clue what you're talking about."

Dailey was not one to lose his temper easily. He preferred to deal with things head-on rather than let his emotions get the best of him. But today, his rage was uncontrollable. The mere thought of Christine being hurt was enough to drive him to the edge.

In a fit of anger, he grabbed Nelly by the neck and pinned her against the headboard, his voice a cold whisper, "What have you done with her?"

Nelly could feel his grip tightening, not caring at all that she was pregnant, using all his strength. She struggled for breath, clawing at his arm, "Dai...please..."

"What the hell are you doing?!" Jayne sensed something was wrong the moment Dailey stormed upstairs and followed, only to find him nearly strangling Nelly.

"Dailey! Let go!" Jayne tried to pry his hands away, but to no avail. Nelly's face was turning purple.

She screamed for help. Primo was the first to rush in, pulling Dailey away from Nelly.

"Sir, there's news about Ms. Jackson."

The mere mention of Christine brought Dailey back to his senses somewhat.

Normand and his bodyguards entered to find Dailey releasing Nelly.

"What's this madness?"
