From “Clingy” to Gone My Independence Was His Biggest Regret novel Chapter 70

Sierra’s face went white, then she threw herself into his arms crying

“Dec: It’s because I love you too much! I couldn’t stand her always thinking about you, so I made up those lies to make her give up and leave? Plus, my dark’s fant a regular guy–how could he do something like that…

Decian coldly pushed her away, eyes like ice.

Is that right? Don’t let me catch you lying, Sierra. You know how I handle liars.”

Sierra couldn’t help shivering.

After five years together, she’d gotten so used to Declan being sweet that she’d forgotten what he was like when he went psycho.

Being stared at by those cold eyes made her skin crawl.

Right then, she realized she’d never actually won Declan’s heart.

The bitter taste in her mouth made her cry harder:

“Dec, if you won’t believe me, then Ill prove I’m innocent by dying!”

But Declan just watched her coldly, no intention of stopping her.

Even the way he looked at her was mocking.

Sierra held that knife but couldn’t go through with it, finally running out crying.

Declan immediately had people follow Sierra, watching her every move.

Right then his assistant called, sounding unsure:

Mr. Rivers, we’ve been searching for a month now. There’s no way we’ll find anything… should we stop the rescue operation?”

Declan didn’t answer.

He knew better than anyone that if Sierra and her dad really were involved, then I definitely didn’t make it.

He couldn’t bear to think about what he’d do if I was really dead.

That feeling of losing control made him crazy.

Without thinking, he drove to the cemetery and stood in front of my parents‘ graves for a long time, finally looking at Maya’s headstone next to them.

Thinking about how close Maya and I were like sisters made his heart ache, so he immediately called his assistant:

Whatever it costs, get Maya out. Don’t let her suffer in there anymore.”

lis assistant quickly replied:

Mr. Rivers, Miss Maya was released early for good behavior.”

The timing–right after my accident.

Declan’s fist clenched tight, something dangerous flashing in his eyes.

Who else in this world besides him would go to any length to get a “murderer” out of prison at a time like that?

The answer was obvious-

HARLEYT

If the same time, an encrypted file hit his phone.

t had clues from the massacre years ago, and every single piece of evidence pointed to Sierra’s father!

Decian stared at those files, then slapped himself over and over without hesitation.

His assistant tried to stop him but couldn’t.

Mr. Rivers, don’t do this! Mr. Sterling cared about you so much–he’d be heartbroken seeing you like this…”

Those words cut through him like a sword.

Yeah, Mr. Sterling treated me like his own son, and I ended up with his family’s enemy, even handed everything over to them, even gave them Harley… I hould die! I really should diet

He couldn’t accept that his so–called revenge was just being played by someone else, even becoming the enemy’s accomplice!

He dropped to his knees, banging his head against my parents‘ headstone until his forehead was bloody, but he wouldn’t stop.

With each bow, he whispered hoarsely,

Mr. and Mrs. Sterling, I’m gonna make them pay for what they did to you… and Harley, once I handle all this shit, I’m coming for you.”
