I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 278

Sienna gripped her phone, her knuckles turning white. She bit her lower lip hard, entirely unable to speak.

She knew that every word Lily said was out of love for her.

Standing behind Sienna, Finn offered no defense and made no attempt to dodge the accusations.

His expression remained stoic, but the light in his eyes completely died out.

Every single word Lily said was the absolute truth.

He accepted all the blame.

Sienna turned her head slightly, glancing back at Finn.

She then looked back at the screen.

"I know, Lily. Don't worry."

A man's voice drifted over from the other end of the line:

"Lily, stop meddling in other people's business. It's not right."

The voice was faint, sounding like it came from the kitchen, accompanied by the rhythmic chopping of a knife against a cutting board.

"Sienna is my best friend, her business is my business!" Lily yelled over her shoulder, then turned back to the camera.

"Sienna, listen to me..."

Sienna was stunned.

"Wait, it's so late. Why is there a man's voice in your apartment?"

Lily blinked, then broke into a huge grin.

She held up her hand, revealing a dazzling ring resting on her ring finger.

The diamond was a solid two carats, its facets throwing brilliant, fiery sparks under the light.

"We got married!"

Sienna was completely blindsided.

"What? Married to who?"

"To Isaac! We just went to City Hall today!"

Lily flipped the camera around.

Isaac Holloway stood there wearing an apron, holding a plate of freshly stir-fried food.

He leaned over and gently set the dish down on the coffee table.

He looked every bit the picture of a devoted, domestic husband.

On screen, Isaac's expression was slightly awkward, but the corners of his lips were turned upward.

It was obvious he was incredibly happy.

Finn stared at Isaac on the screen, his voice laced with pure astonishment:

"Isaac? You and Lily got married?"

His heart was heavy with bottomless regret and an unspeakable bitterness.

Finn's gaze drifted back to the white box, palpably feeling the urgency behind Silas's actions.

If Isaac could get married in a flash, Silas was perfectly capable of doing the exact same thing.

A violent surge of panic tore through him like a hurricane.

Finn deeply regretted the words he had just spoken. He wanted to take them all back.

He had said he wanted Sienna to live the life she desired, but why couldn't he be the one to give her that life?

"I'm going now."

Sienna watched as Finn pulled the door open and left, his retreating silhouette radiating an uncompromising finality.

Her heart felt hollow.

This really had to be the end of the road.

Downstairs, Finn stood by the entrance of the building, looking up at the window on the twelfth floor.

The light was still on.

He pulled out his phone and dialed Felicia.

When she answered, his eyes never left the glow of the twelfth-floor window.

"Felicia, we are moving the plan up. I want Ford completely ousted at next week's board meeting."
