He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 866

Upon arriving at the apartment, she fell silent.

"The beach house is currently being aired out. We'll move there in a few days. The sea air will be much better for Skye's recovery," Julian suddenly offered.

She nodded. "Alright."

Leaving this place was probably for the best anyway, to avoid any further entanglements.

Seeing her agree, he didn't press the matter.

They quietly settled back into the apartment.

The housekeeper had already prepared everything. After a quick shower, Helena lay down in bed.

She was practically dead on her feet.

But despite her bone-deep exhaustion, sleep eluded her.

A wave of intense irritability began to crawl beneath her skin.

Whenever this happened, her immediate instinct was to reach for her pills.

She knew it was dangerous, but she felt entirely powerless against the compulsion.

She grimaced.

Julian returned from his own shower, taking one look at her and frowning.

"The doctor said weaning off requires a gradual taper," he reminded her.

She wasn't sure if she felt relieved or something else entirely.

She took the pill.

He handed her a glass of water.

After swallowing it, her muscles finally began to unclench.

He didn't leave, staying by her side.

She was incredibly quiet.

But even with the medication, it took her a very long time to drift off.

He just sat there, watching her without saying a word.

After a long while, he lowered his gaze, his silence stretching on.

Jensen had sent over a massive file.

It contained concrete evidence of Janetta's recent crimes.

As well as details about the mastermind behind it all, and their connection to the Hayes family.

Julian was genuinely surprised; he hadn't seen this coming.

Sebastian actually had a twin brother?

He had never involved himself in the Hayes family's dirty laundry.

But frankly, it didn't matter to him anyway.

The prophecy stated that Cyrus would bring total ruin to the Hayes Corporation.

And sure enough, shortly after their birth, the family suffered a massive, unprecedented crisis.

Though they didn't go bankrupt, the foundation of their empire was severely shaken.

This cemented the family's absolute belief in the fortune teller's words.

Consequently, Cyrus was cast out.

They didn't kill him, of course.

But they struck his name from the family register, barring him from ever returning or claiming any connection to the Hayes name.

In blunt terms: they would provide for him financially.

But his existence was entirely severed from the family legacy.

Being raised in such circumstances would twist anyone's mind.

And so, Cyrus had become a monster.

He still possessed the innate Hayes brilliance. Leveraging outside forces, he allied himself with the family's greatest rivals.

Clawing his way up, step by step, to where he was today.

His ultimate goal was to burn the Hayes family to the ground and reclaim what was rightfully his.

So, orchestrating all of this was perfectly in character for him.
