He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 999

The air between them instantly thickened with tension.

Helena stayed quiet as Xavier unleashed his bitter interrogation, every word dripping with venom.

"She's dead. Do you have any idea how miserable she was the day she died? She could have lived, if only you had said the word."

He was laying all the blame squarely on her shoulders.

"But you refused. You pushed a living, breathing person right into her grave," Xavier said, his voice low but razor-sharp.

"How old was Jocelyn? Just twenty-six. Her entire life is over. What did she do wrong? She did absolutely nothing wrong."

"You'll never be happy either, Helena. Karma will catch up with you."

He was cursing her with every ounce of his hatred.

Helena simply stared at him, her expression eerily calm.

There was no point reasoning with a lunatic.

Anything she said would only fuel his madness.

She tried to walk away, but Xavier blocked her path.

He was too consumed by his own rage to let her leave.

"Let go of me, Xavier!" she snapped, her voice cold and commanding.

He had grabbed her arm in a vice grip.

For a split second, she saw pure, unadulterated murder in his eyes.

He wanted to kill her.

A jolt of alarm shot through her veins.

But before he could act, Sebastian's towering frame materialized in front of her.

She heard the sickening crunch of bone.

Xavier gasped in pain and instantly released her arm.

The next second, Helena was pulled securely into Sebastian's chest.

Sebastian fixed Xavier with a predatory gaze. "Don't force my hand, Xavier. Understood?"

It was an absolute, lethal warning.

Without sparing the man another glance, Sebastian guided Helena away.

They didn't speak until they were seated in the dining hall.
