My father sold me to the Mafia King novel Chapter 436

Chapter 436: 436/The Deadly Sin of Flight

Chapter 436

Julie’s POV

The air was sucked entirely from my lungs, as though the opulent walls of this master suite were caving in to crush the remaining shards of my soul.

My pupils locked onto the breathtaking sheen of the teardrop emerald gleaming between his hands that silver piece crafted specifically at his command to match the exact shade of my eyes. It was the ultimate, sun-glaring proof of my own damned stupidity!

I took a step back, my knees trembling violently beneath me before my strength gave out completely, sending me collapsing onto the plush velvet carpet.

A faint, broken wail tore from my throat as I brought my trembling hands up to cover my tear-stained face, the entire world spinning around me in a dizzying blur.

(I did this!... I am the sole cause of all this destruction!)

A scalding fire surged through my veins as I began blaming myself with an all-consuming, internal rage that shredded my heart. Curse my recklessness! Curse my poisonous assumptions and my wretched stupidity! Four whole years... four long years I spent rotting at the bottom of hell, chasing illusions, dragging my despair behind me, and running away from the very man who was preparing everything to make me his queen just because I lacked the courage to confront him! Just because I never dared to ask a single question and surrendered entirely to a twisted mind!

But the rawest, most agonising pain tearing through my broken inside at this exact moment was the dark secret rotting in my hollow heart... my baby... Ethan!

I squeezed my eyes shut behind my hands until black spots danced in my vision, my stomach violently churning with a suffocating nausea. If only I had asked him that day... if only I hadn’t fled like a coward... my baby would be in my arms right now! My little boy would be growing up between us, safe and cherished, instead of having his brief existence end in death immediately after birth!

I killed Ethan with my own haste... I robbed him of his father’s protection and care!

Robert felt my sudden collapse and instantly dropped his massive frame onto his knees before me. He tossed the velvet box aside, his heavy palms clamping around my wrists, gently lifting them away from my face with a firm, desperate grip filled with reproach and anxiety.

His dark eyes searched my pale features in pure shock, his voice coming out as a low, raspy rumble from the deepest point of his chest:

"Julie!... What the fuck is wrong with you?! Why are you crying like your heart is tearing apart?!"

I opened my tear-filled eyes, gazing up at him through a blurred mist of utter heartbreak. His sharp face was inches away, his scorching breath brushing my cheek, his eyes searching the absolute deepest depths of my impaled soul.

Helplessness choked me, the words sticking like burning thorns in my throat.
