Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110

Elspeth felt an ache in her chest-she hadn’t expected Blake to go to such an extent. In the past, she had always thought that Blake simply admired her as an individual and that he hadn’t actually fallen for her. However, she was doubtful of her assumptions when she saw the way he acted then. “Get up, Blake. You can leave-I’m fine on my own,” Elspeth uttered.

However, Blake shook his head even as he felt punches landing continuously and incessantly on his back. His lips were drained of color because of how much pain he was in. “How could I leave you here? I want to be with you. I don’t want to abandon you…”

Ophelia got to her feet and gritted her teeth in anger when she saw Blake protecting Elspeth. “Good job, Blake. How dare you kick me! You clearly know what’s going on between Elspeth and Callum, yet you’re still trying to cling to Elspeth. How disgusting!” she cried.

“Let Elspeth go, Ophelia. Otherwise, the Winthrop Family will never forgive you.” Blake looked up as he forced the words out of his mouth. Ophelia let out a hearty laugh when she heard how weak Blake sounded. “What a joke! Do I look like I’m afraid of them now? I wanted to go easy on you for old times’ sake, Blake, but since you came all the way here, I don’t think I have to show you mercy anymore.”

Ophelia gave Daniel and Emerson a look that signaled them to stop. “You guys did well. I want you guys to wait at the side; I’ll give the money to you once I’m done with these two.” Daniel and Emerson nodded and bowed they were both elated to hear that they were about to get paid. “Great! You take your time. We’ll wait around at the side,” one of them replied.

After that, Ophelia turned around to see that Blake was still stubbornly protecting Elspeth. A surge of anger shot through Ophelia’s body, and she raised the dagger in her hand before stabbing it into Blake’s shoulder. “Argh!” Blake writhed in pain as he felt his vision turning blurry.

Tears welled up in Elspeth’s eyes. “Are you even human, Ophelia? You’re hurting Blake!”

“So? Anyone who stops me from killing you deserves to die! Do you understand?” Ophelia pulled the dagger out of Blake’s shoulder before using a handkerchief to clean the blood on it. “Alright. It’s your turn next. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this, Elspeth? I want you to die before my eyes right now!” Ophelia had just raised the dagger when she felt a rock hitting her wrist out of nowhere. She instinctively flinched and dropped the dagger.

“Who’s there?” Ophelia’s senses were immediately heightened as she turned to check the entrance. There was no one standing there, but when she turned back around, she saw Callum standing in the distance with an icy look on his face. “Callum, how did you….” Ophelia knew that she was dead meat, and she was close to breaking down at that point. She couldn’t help but shudder in fear at the sight of Callum.
