He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 650

Scarlett's eyes instantly welled with tears of relief, the suffocating tension in her chest finally easing slightly.

Her gaze slowly shifted, landing on Sylvia with the cold intensity of a loaded gun.

Sylvia had taken two brutal kicks from Stellan, and he hadn't held back. There was an unwritten rule about not hitting women, but considering how purely evil this woman was, Stellan didn't care.

Her abdomen and lower back screamed in blinding agony, feeling as though her internal organs had been ruptured. Every breath felt like tearing muscle.

Meeting Scarlett's dead, hellish stare, Sylvia's eyes darted around the room in sheer panic.

She tried to drag herself backward across the floor, desperately attempting to stand, but her spine simply wouldn't support her.

Watching Scarlett, Stellan, and Julian advance on her like predatory wolves, Sylvia suddenly screamed at the top right corner of the ceiling.

"Hey Optima! Start a video call with Kane Stetson!"

The smart home camera mounted in the corner instantly chimed with a mechanical female voice.

"Acknowledged. Contacting Kane Stetson. Please hold..."

Before Scarlett or the others could smash the device, Kane's arrogant, booming laugh echoed from the camera's speaker.

"Sylvia, babe, what's up? Miss me?"

"Kane, save me!" Sylvia shrieked.

"What the f*ck?!" Kane roared, his crude, thunderous voice nearly deafening them. "Who the hell broke into my woman's house?! Get the f*ck out of there!"

It was obvious he could see the entire living room through the security feed.

Suddenly, before anyone could react, a massive, violent crash echoed from Kane's side of the audio.

"Scarlett! You psychotic bitch! You dare touch my woman?!" Kane bellowed in absolute rage. "You watch me! I'll have my men tear your little friend apart right now!"

Over the chaotic noise from the speaker, Scarlett heard a horrifying, piercing scream.

"No matter what happens, no matter how much it hurts, do not give up! Do not let them break you!"

"Believe me, I am going to get you out! I promise you! Talia, we swore we'd be best friends for life! You have to hold on!"

As she screamed, tears streamed freely down Scarlett's face.

Her heart felt like it was being shredded in a blender, the agonizing helplessness threatening to swallow her whole. She had never felt so painfully powerless.

"Scarlett... I... I hear you..."

"Best friends... for life... I'll... I'll hold on..."

Talia's voice came through the speaker—weak, breathy, and barely audible.

Hearing that Talia was still alive, fresh tears spilled from Scarlett's eyes.

But in the very next second, the deafening sound of multiple gunshots erupted through the camera feed.
