He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 360

Her voice turned lethally flat. "And don't worry about Seb coming after you. I've already made sure he's occupied."

She delivered the statement with absolute certainty.

Looking into Janetta's eyes, Helena knew with horrifying clarity that this wasn't an empty bluff.

A violent tremor ripped through Helena's chest.

Every muscle in her body locked up as she stared back at the woman trying to destroy her.

"Go check. See for yourself if I'm lying," Janetta laughed, a sharp, grating sound.

"Tsk, tsk. Just imagine how agonizing his final moments were. So poetic, really. He died choking on his own fear, and he never even got to say goodbye to his beloved sister."

She spat the words like venom, relishing the kill.

The short distance between them evaporated completely as Janetta stepped flush against her.

Given Janetta's height advantage, she loomed over Helena like an executioner.

"What's wrong, Helena? Are you too much of a coward to face the truth?" she taunted.

Helena instinctively stumbled backward.

For every step Helena retreated, Janetta advanced.

"You hogged the title of Mrs. Hayes for seven years. Did you really think I was just going to let that slide?" Janetta's face was completely devoid of humanity.

"Don't worry. Wynn is dead, and soon you'll be heading down there to keep him company. Neither of you is making it out of this alive."

"Go ahead and hate me. It doesn't matter. You'll never find a single shred of evidence."

Janetta paused, letting the silence stretch.

When she spoke again, her eyes blazed with an inferno of pure malice.

"I am going to drag you through hell, Helena. I will strip you of every last thing you love until there is absolutely nothing left."

"Do you honestly believe Seb can protect you? Keep dreaming."

...

Helena couldn't stomach another word.

She violently shoved Janetta out of her way and broke into a desperate sprint toward the hospital exit.

Janetta stumbled back from the force of the push.

But she didn't try to stop her; she just stood there, watching her prey flee.

And just as she had promised, there wasn't a single bodyguard in sight, nor was Sebastian anywhere to be found.

As she ran, Helena suddenly remembered the phone call in the car.

It had been Janetta.
