He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 311

There were the lucky charms she had once prayed for, crafted into delicate keepsakes engraved with Sebastian's name and birthdate.

There were the custom hand-stitched pillows she had made, painstakingly threading every memory of them together.

All because she and Sebastian didn't have a single formal photograph together.

She gathered them up, one by one, as if packing away seven years of unrequited devotion.

But even as she did, Sebastian refused to let her off the hook.

He watched her with a chilling apathy, every word slipping from his lips dipped in ice. "Destroy all of it. I don't want to see a single piece of trash left in the Hayes Estate."

Her deepest affections had simply been reduced to trash.

Helena kept her head down, staring at the pile without even asking why.

She closed her eyes briefly, then reached into the toolbox and pulled out a heavy pair of shears.

These little mementos she had once arranged with such joy to decorate their marital home.

Piece by piece, Helena cut them into shreds.

She felt entirely numb.

Eventually, her hands began to ache and cramp.

But Helena didn't stop.

To her, this was her way of saying goodbye to the past.

She was completely severing every remaining tie between her and Sebastian.

Yet, after seven years of loving him, she couldn't be entirely immune to the pain.

Her eyes burned, tears pricking at her lashes as a suffocating wave of despair threatened to break her.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself not to cry.

Soon, the hardwood floor was covered in a chaotic mess of ruined memories.

Sebastian stood by the entire time, watching her without making a move to leave.

He kept one hand casually in his pocket, but the grim shadow casting over his strikingly handsome face refused to dissipate.

Because Helena was entirely too calm.

She was so calm she looked like a lifeless doll.

Her face had remained expressionless through it all.

Sebastian knew perfectly well how desperately Helena had loved him during their seven years of marriage.

To her, he was her entire world.

But seeing her look so utterly blank right now.

Seeing her actually destroy the things she had once treasured more than her own life.
