He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 202

"Of course not," he denied softly. "That's why I had Carter investigate. This had nothing to do with you. Your phone was hacked, and her number was implanted to frame you."

His simple explanation cleared her name completely. Helena would be lying if she said she wasn't surprised. But after enduring so much torment over the years, her immediate instinct was to suspect he was plotting something.

She stared at him calmly, choosing her words carefully.

Sebastian's hand lingered on her cheek, his tone growing serious. "Helena, let's stop fighting. Just focus on having this baby safely."

There was no trace of a joke in his eyes.

Helena met his gaze without blinking. "Once the baby is born, can I leave?"

Sebastian didn't answer right away.

Helena didn't mind the silence. "Don't worry. For Wynn's sake, I will make sure this baby is delivered safely. But you better not go back on your word, because if you do, I don't know what I'm capable of."

She meant every word. A cornered animal will always fight back. Just because she had a gentle temperament didn't mean she would lie down and take it when pushed past her breaking point. If he pushed her too far, she would burn everything to the ground with her.

The threat was thinly veiled, yet Sebastian remained utterly unfazed.

"Do you really want to leave me that badly?" he asked quietly.

"Yes," she answered without a second of hesitation.

She waited for his temper to flare, but surprisingly, it didn't.
