He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 644

There was absolutely no trace of a bluff in her unblinking stare.

Gazing up into those pitch-black eyes, Janetta saw nothing but sheer, murderous intent.

It was the first time in her life she had ever been faced with raw, unadulterated violence.

A deep, primal instinct told her that this woman was entirely capable of ending her life right then and there.

"Murder is illegal, Helena," Janetta managed to choke out, desperately trying to project an aura of authority.

Helena simply stared down at her like a god looking at an insect, completely unfazed by the pathetic warning.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated against the silence.

The device was still sitting undisturbed on the coffee table nearby.

Both women glanced over at the glowing screen.

It was an incoming call from Sebastian Hayes.

Janetta's face instantly twisted into an ugly sneer of triumph.

A cynical smirk played on Helena's lips. "Tell me, Janetta. Do you think he is calling to save you, or to save me?"

Janetta paled noticeably.

In all honesty, she wasn't entirely sure herself.

Still clinging to her pride, she spat back defiantly, "I am his legal wife. Don't flatter yourself."

Helena laughed outright.

Without breaking eye contact, she reached over, answered the call, and tapped the speakerphone icon. She remained completely silent.

Sebastian's deep, gravelly voice echoed through the room. "What are you up to?"

It wasn't an interrogation; his tone was shockingly casual, carrying the intimate warmth of a man checking in on his lover.

That gentle, domestic affection hit Janetta harder than a physical slap to the face.

But before the devastated woman could even process the humiliation...

...Helena lunged forward and grabbed a handful of her hair.

Janetta let out a blood-curdling shriek.

The scream carried perfectly over the line. "Helena? What's going on over there?" Sebastian demanded.

She didn't answer him.

Instead, the line captured the brutal, heavy thud of an impact.

With ruthless precision, Helena slammed Janetta's skull directly into the massive floor-to-ceiling window.

A sickening crunch vibrated through the tempered glass.

All the blood drained from Janetta's face as the world spun wildly out of focus.
