He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 809

Helena fell silent.

She finally understood the root of his sudden, violent anger.

He was acting as a fiercely protective father, not a devoted husband.

"Come in," Sebastian called out to the terrified designer hovering in the hallway.

She shuffled back in, keeping her eyes rigidly glued to the floor.

She desperately pretended not to notice the lingering heat in the room or the state of her client's gown.

The conversation swiftly returned to professional matters.

The designer repinned the fabric, working with nervous efficiency.

Sebastian stood nearby, observing with unnerving calm, offering no further interruptions.

Helena's heart pounded a frantic rhythm against her ribs as her mind raced to process the revelation about Kyle.

Yet, the crucial connection still eluded her grasp.

The sheer weight of the information only deepened the venomous anxiety coiled in her gut.

It felt like an invisible hand was squeezing her lungs.

Drawing a steady breath became a Herculean task.

Outwardly, however, she maintained an impenetrable facade.

When the fitting concluded, she left the boutique with Sebastian shadowing her every step.

He refused to leave her side, looming over the styling team as they managed her makeup and hair.

The Coralia paparazzi lurking outside exchanged bewildered glances.

Then again, the local tabloids were already overflowing with speculation about their scandalous affair.

The sheer volume of rumors had almost normalized their public intimacy.

Before departing for the gala, Helena managed to slip away to take her pills.

Dr. Chapman's prescribed dose was no longer enough to keep the panic at bay.

Ignoring the medical warnings, she swallowed three pills, waiting for the chemical calm to wash over her.

She was terrified she would shatter entirely at the gala.

Just as she washed the medication down, Sebastian appeared silently behind her like a ghost.
