Seraphina had been slumped on the ground, but hearing Raelynn's words, her shock-filled eyes turned red as she glared at her. Clutching her bleeding arm, she struggled to her feet. "Was it you?"
Raelynn frowned. "What?"
"You did this on purpose to kill me, didn't you?" Having just narrowly escaped death, Seraphina's gaze turned completely venomous. "Just because of what I said to you earlier?"
Seeing her absolute certainty...
Raelynn almost laughed out of pure absurdity.
Why on earth did Seraphina think that just because they had bad blood, it had to end in a life-or-death scenario?
Was she projecting her own twisted mindset onto others?
"You need to calm down right now." Raelynn had no desire to argue with her.
She pulled out her phone, preparing to call the police to handle the situation.
But Seraphina lunged forward, violently swatting the phone out of her hand. "Raelynn, you've been dying for something to happen to me! Who else could it be but you?"
She completely lost her mind.
Raising her blood-soaked hand, she aimed a vicious slap right at Raelynn's face.
She was genuinely terrified.
And equally furious.
She had been inches away from death!
Raelynn hadn't expected her to be this wildly unreasonable. She was about to shove the woman away, but another arm shot out even faster. A large hand clamped tightly around Seraphina's wrist.
It stopped Seraphina dead in her tracks.
The night breeze picked up.
Raelynn turned her head.
She lifted her gaze.
And was met with Sebastian's cold, expressionless face.
He stood slightly behind her, casting a brief glance her way before stepping forward.
Seraphina froze. Her hysterical emotions snapped back into focus, and she stared at him in disbelief. "Sebastian, how did you get here..."
Just how dark was the inside of her head?
Those words made Seraphina's face darken even further.
She vaguely sensed that Raelynn's insult had a double meaning.
But this was not the time to take the bait!
"Why would she do that." Sebastian pulled a clean handkerchief from his pocket, slowly wiping the blood off his palm, and asked the question casually.
The agonizing pain in Seraphina's arm was shattering her ability to think clearly.
But she knew exactly why.
It was because of her provocations toward Raelynn.
She had said all those things to Raelynn earlier today.
And then an accident happened immediately afterward. Everyone else was perfectly fine; only she ended up in a horrific crash!
Yet, she kept her face pale and played the victim. "Raelynn knows exactly why. Her hatred for me didn't just start yesterday. Sebastian, it hurts so much..."

I think for as slow as the beginning was, their turning point is just so fast... really hope we actually get to read about R and S and their rekindle.... we did not read 950 pages for their story to be sidelined. Im for this sideline story, but it if it's to separate from the main characters and their story, please make it separate book....
Author please update more chapters...
I really like Zella, she is becoming a good friend to Raelynn. Ian needs to go. The relationship with Chloe is confusing. Some chapters they are cousins, sometimes they're sibling. A little confusing....
Julians role as big brother- I feel comes from a genuine place, but in a relationship thats is just as stained as Raelynns and Sebastians. It hard for me to connect to his big brother role as he too was such a problem before. And while they talked a little bit, the conversation did not give me the believe there was resolution between Raelynn and Julian. For a brute, he should make his feelings clear about the situation to Raelynn and then step back, until there is more foundation for him to stand on....
Knife in my heart. I hurt for Raelynn. She has made it this far, but how much does she have in her, everyone has a breaking point. Some back of me hopes the author is joking to lighten the mood after so many intense chapters, but thats not this kind of story or couple....
My heart cannot take this. This, cannot be how it ends with these too. They need resolution with each other. Raelynn needs to be more humanize with Sebastian. We know she is hurt, but this is the branch. She needs all these answers, if not for them to be together, then for Lily to have both her parents. Stop with the mind games Raelynn!...
Its like the story is just repeating itself...
Timeline is getting lost for me. So many treasured little memories Raelynn has but yet, he was gone for years ? Anyways... still rooting for them! These two need a heart to heart. Lily "forgetting" someone, not possible in this day and age and I hope thats not their storyline....
Sebastian, the man of few words.... needs to find all the words! Needs to fight for her! On note, seven years seems like a long time for this master plan (which I am sure goes back much farther). Rereading this novel, and it seems like everything has played out in a 5-8 month time span. And I feel like all Sebastian's doings/ plan have not been revealed. I hope we get to see the whole picture and have the resolutions we hope. But seven years of mistreatment, I just don't see Raelynn fully coming back. If these was 2-3 years, maybe, and I know it changes some characters around, but it would still work. Rooting for them!...
Literally on edge!...
