He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 1000

To avoid the suffocating crowds, Sebastian didn't take her out, so they spent all their time sequestered at the estate.

Helena circled a specific date on the calendar.

It was the day before her new semester started.

It also marked exactly two months since she had agreed to this arrangement with Sebastian.

Doing the math, there was less than a week left.

She lowered her gaze, deeply lost in thought.

Sebastian happened to walk into the room just in time to see her staring at it.

He instantly realized what the date meant.

A heavy, unreadable darkness immediately clouded his expression.

He looked at her in deafening silence.

Helena met his eyes openly. "On this day, we are done."

Sebastian said nothing, giving no indication of whether he accepted it or not.

She had already closed the conversation, entirely uninterested in debating the matter.

There was also a distinct note of avoidance in her demeanor.

Refusing to be shut out, Sebastian grabbed her hand.

She frowned and looked up at him.

"Does it really have to end?" he asked softly.

"Our time is up," she reminded him flatly.

"Did you get what you wanted, then?" he pressed.

She looked at him with an eerie calm. "It's not about being satisfied. It was just about filling a void. Now that the void is filled, it doesn't mean much anymore."

Her voice was incredibly level, utterly devoid of any emotional attachment.

Sebastian's grip on her hand tightened.

She remained perfectly still, not even bothering to pull away.

"Helena, after all this time, have you truly felt absolutely nothing for me?" he demanded.

"No," she answered without a second of hesitation.

He fell silent for a long moment before whispering, "Liar."
