Dusk Snow Hides All Return (Rowan and Adrienne) novel Chapter 167

Chapter 141

Me: “You’re meant to be, and I’m helping you achieve that. At the airport, if I hadn’t hit you, would Jason have taken you to the hospital, comforting you in his arms?”

Tanner froze for a few seconds, then sneered through gritted teeth, “But he still went to see you later! I even exposed that video, allowing public opinion to condemn me, making myself miserable, but because of his guilt, he still wanted to get back together with you!”

Me:“If you had been a little more miserable, or hadn’t teamed up with Vera to attack me, continued to act pitiful, and continued to play the victim, Jason’s heart would have gradually leaned towards you. But you couldn’t contain yourself. Now, you want to burn me to death in his home. Do you want him to never forget his died bonded partner? We spent seven years together, you are too

hurry!”

Tanner:…

Her breathing became rapid, her thoughts in utter disarray. Was it like that? Had she been too hasty?

‘DID I MAKE A WRONG MOVE?”

Tanner remembered Jason’s words that day at her house. He was so furious, his eyes like garbage as he looked at her. When he spoke of Sophia, his eyes were full of tenderness and guilt. He regretted being with her, disgusted even with himself.

That night, Tanner’s rage was terrifying. She screamed,

‘AAAAAHHHHH!!!”

‘I’m going to kill you today! I’ll chop you up!”

‘From now on, I’ll live in your house, sleep with your partner. I’ll revel in my happiness on the ruins of your miserable death! Jason and I will bond together, have children, and live happily ever after! And you’ll be nothing but ashes! I refuse to believe I’m less than a pile of ashes!”

She was raving, wanting to tear me to shreds. She’d completely lost her mind.

I sneered, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll become a vengeful ghost?” /

Tanner replied, “If you become a ghost, I’ll find an exorcist to capture your soul. I’ll make you watch Jason and me together every day. I’ll make you watch everything that was yours being taken away by me.”

I sighed, “… You’re awfully cliché.”

Tanner looked at my face–even with the blood and swelling, still beautiful and defiant–and beat me again.

Outside, a man’s cold voice warned, “She’s stalling time. If you’re going to do it, do it quickly.”

Tanner finally snapped out of it. She straightened up.“Sophia, you’re buying time for someone to rescue you?”

‘Don’t dream. No one will come to save you tonight, no one will guess you’re here. By the time they find out, you’ll be dead. It will look like suicide, I’ve even prepared a suicide note for you.”

‘Now, I’ll send you on your way.”

She stepped back, pulling out a lighter and lighting it again. She enjoyed watching the despair and fear on my face, tossing the lighter upwards.

The moment she lit the lighter, my survival instinct overrode the drugs. I struggled to escape, rolling from the sofa to the floor.

As the flames were about to land, I closed my eyes in utter despair.

Tanner waited for the fire to consume me, her expression ecstatic.

But at the critical moment…
