Left for Dead Came Back for Everything novel Chapter 79

"Yvonne, we never had any bad blood!"

Eliza's voice trembled violently as she demanded answers through the suffocating pain.

She still remembered when she first met Zander. Yvonne used to call her sweet Eliza with such a sugary smile!

Back then, she genuinely treated Yvonne like she was Zander's actual little sister.

She had never once minded her presence in his life!

She was such a fool.

"After Zander and I got married, I treated you like my own blood! I gave you whatever you asked for! I never wronged you for a single second of my life!"

"Why would you do this to me? Why!!"

Eliza was forcibly dragged back into the suffocating darkness of that earthquake.

She remembered screaming Zander's name into the pitch-black void, begging him to save her baby.

But all she saw was him sprinting desperately toward Yvonne instead.

It turned out, none of it was a tragic accident!

It was Yvonne's premeditated murder!

Yvonne didn't care about Eliza's anguish at all.

Her jealousy and twisted obsession had already driven her so far past the point of no return that she could never go back to being normal.

"You want to know? Die, and maybe I'll tell you down in hell... hehehe..."

Yvonne giggled sadistically at Eliza, her eyes brimming with venom and sheer malice.

"What sister? Stop disgusting me! You stole everything from me!"

"I was the one who grew up with him! We were the ones who spent every waking moment together!"

"You're the reason he stopped looking at me! I was the one who was supposed to marry him! I was the one who was supposed to have his child!"

She glared at Eliza, her voice steadily rising into a shriek. "You're a shameless whore! You seduced him! You brought all of this upon yourself. This is your karma—!"

Smack—!

Using every last ounce of strength in her body, Eliza delivered a brutal, resounding slap right across Yvonne's face.

The hit was so hard it warped Yvonne's crazed laughter into a choked gasp.

"Eliza, now you finally know what it feels like to lose the person you love most, don't you?"

"Eliza, so what if you're jealous of me? He's mine now! You will never get to experience how wild, yet how gentle he was on top of me last night!"

"We're getting married! As long as I have him, I don't give a damn about anything else!"

"And you can just rot in your nightmares about your dead baby for the rest of your miserable life!"

Yvonne's utterly deranged words struck directly into the most agonizing wound in Eliza's heart.

Consumed by rage and grief, her vision began to swim with black spots.

"The baby was innocent..."

Tears streamed silently down Eliza's face as she asked the same question over and over. "How could you be so utterly heartless! How could you do it!"

Right at that second, a harsh demand cut through the air behind them.

"What baby?"

Yvonne's laughter completely died in her throat. The color vanished from her face.

Eliza looked up and saw the lounge entrance.

Zander was standing right there, though no one knew how long he had been listening.
