He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 242

"You... Sebastian, let me go." Helena turned her head, desperately trying to scramble away.

But his fingers ruthlessly clamped onto her chin, forcing her to look him dead in the eye.

She was pinned.

Sebastian's predatory gaze sharpened, boring into her soul.

"Do you know Julian Campbell?" he demanded, straight to the point.

Helena denied it instantly. "I don't know Mr. Campbell."

The lie came out way too fast, and the guilt flickering in her eyes gave her away completely.

Sebastian knew she was lying the second the words left her mouth.

His grip tightened like a vice.

Helena whimpered, her brows pinching together from the sharp pain.

She felt like he was going to snap her jaw in half.

"Helena, you know him!" It wasn't a question anymore. It was a dark, absolute statement.

She froze, completely unable to form an answer.

But her terrified silence only confirmed everything he needed to know.

Sebastian let out a cruel scoff and finally let go of her.

Harsh red fingermarks had already bruised the luminous skin of her jawline.

He stood up straight, taking his sweet time buttoning his shirt right in front of her.

From the first button to the very last, his dark eyes never once left her face.

It was only a few seconds, but for Helena, it felt like a slow, agonizing execution.

Because with Sebastian, you never knew when the axe was going to fall.

Her hands balled into tight, sweaty fists in her lap.

Finally, his deep, mocking voice sliced through the silence.

"You're a lot more capable than I gave you credit for, Helena. First Lance James, now Julian Campbell. How many other men are you hiding behind my back?" he sneered.

He loomed over her, radiating a suffocating, oppressive aura.

"With all their complex political ties, they can't afford a single scandal. Do you honestly think they'd let a divorced woman who's already been knocked up marry into their bloodline?"

"Even if none of that mattered, with their untouchable status in Coralia, they would never allow someone like you through the front door."

Sebastian let out a chilling laugh.

Every word was a jagged blade twisting directly into her heart.

"Helena, you couldn't even qualify as a dirty little secret in the Campbell family, understand?" he finished ruthlessly. "So wake up from your little daydream."

His final words were a lethal warning.

Helena sat in complete, eerie silence.

It wasn't until he was completely finished tearing her apart that she slowly looked up at him.

"Wouldn't anything be better than the hell I'm living in with you right now?" she suddenly shot back.

Sebastian's face morphed into something truly terrifying.

It seemed that absolutely nothing he said could break her anymore.
