He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 188

She was the one who had trapped herself in this prison.

Stepping out of the master bathroom fresh from his shower, Sebastian walked right into this scene.

A flicker of tension crossed his eyes, but a second later, his voice rang out, cold and unforgiving.

"What is this, Helena? First you're kicking and screaming, and now you're playing dead on the floor? Who exactly is this performance for?" His words were pure cruelty.

He stared down at her from his full height, devoid of a single ounce of pity.

Helena's eyes lowered, catching sight of the tip of his custom leather shoe.

The shoe was pressed right up against her delicate fingers.

If he moved even an inch closer, if he applied just a fraction of his weight, he could easily crush her bones.

"Get up!" he commanded in a low voice when she didn't react.

She remained silent.

She pulled her fingers back slightly and pressed her palms flat against the floor, trying to push herself up.

But for some reason—perhaps it was an instinctive spike of terror from seeing him.

Or perhaps she was genuinely in agonizing pain.

The hard tightening in her abdomen returned with a vengeance.

The baby thrashed wildly inside her, kicking sharply against her ribs.

The sudden, violent cramp instantly soaked her in a cold sweat.

She braced herself against the floor, trying desperately to stand.

But no matter how hard she pushed, her body refused to cooperate.

It felt as though every drop of strength had been completely drained from her veins.

Within seconds, she collapsed back onto the floor.

All the color vanished from her face as the excruciating cramps intensified. She wrapped both arms around her belly.

She tried to soothe the restless baby.

Even in absolute agony, she refused to show him any weakness.

"Still acting?" His voice dropped to a freezing register.

He crouched down in front of her, letting out a mocking scoff.

His large, rough fingers clamped tightly onto her chin.

He forced her face up to meet his gaze.

At the same time, his leather shoe stepped forward, pressing down hard on her slender fingers.
