A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 774

Chapter 774

Cara insisted, “Honey, you have to believe me. You’re the only one I love. You’re the only man I’ve ever been with.”

Joseph questioned, “Since you knew Winona and the others, why did you keep it from me?”

“Honey, I didn’t know you could be this ruthless when you got angry.”

“Life has made me into one hell of a nice guy! Or maybe it’s not about what I’ve been through. Maybe I’ve always been like this.

“Oh, well. That day, I decided to let go of everything. I wanted nothing more to do with the world anymore.”

“No way. I won’t let you become a monk.”

Joseph let out a chuckle. “Oh, Cora. If I’d taken you down with me that day, would you have blamed me?”

“Why would I ever blame you for that? I’m serious. Believe me, okay? I love you!”

“Then I’ll come up with a way to kill us both later. I’ll make sure you stay conscious for a few minutes before you die. I wonder if you’ll still feel the same way when it actually happens.”

“Honey, you…”

Joseph covered her mouth, not wanting to hear her say he was the only man she had ever loved.

He continued, “Cora, nothing else matters to me anymore. Even if I go on living, I’m just surviving. No matter what you say, you did betray me. You messed up, and of course, so did I. If I hadn’t trusted you blindly…

“If I had been powerful enough that no one would dare cross you, no one would’ve messed with you. I’m a doctor, but I let someone like Yara spike my food and render me sterile.

“Every time she succeeded, it was like I’d been slapped in the face. When Skylar had the nerve to walk into my home and have his way with you right in front of me, it stopped being just your problem.”

Cora wanted to use Joseph to do her dirty work and take Winona down. He would do exactly what she wanted.

He would abduct Winona and make sure she got the punishment she deserved. In fact, any Dixon who set foot in Jenton would pay for it.

The same went for the Zahns. Jenton had no place for a powerful family like them.

Then they would see who came out on top. Only one would survive, or they would both go down together.

Joseph covered Cora’s mouth so she couldn’t say another word. He had his way with her again, and by the time he left, she was already fast asleep.

The moment he opened the door, he found Helen standing outside, her cheeks flushed. He felt a little awkward, but he spoke first. “It’s still early. You should go back to bed and get some rest.”

“Yeah. I’ll go back to sleep soon. Oh, about Cora…”

elen, maybe there’s something wrong with me too. I know Cora cheated on me and betrayed me, yet I can’t help but sleep with her.

“If anything, I’m even more into it than I was before. Things between us feel more natural, and I know she feels the same way.

“That’s because you two still have feelings for each other. You think Cora cheated on you and betrayed you because you failed to satisfy her needs.

“That’s why you can’t let it go. You’re trying to act tough. She also feels bad about what happened too so she’ll do her best to make it up to you.”

“What happened was partly my fault, and she played a role too. There were also circumstances beyond our control.

“Now I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m so conflicted.”

“Joseph, I hope you’ll come home. Of course, no matter what your decision is, I’ll support you.’
