Please Come Back, My Love

Chapter 116

“You have a visitor,” she said.

I stood up too fast. Dizzy. Hopeful.

My lawyer. Finally.

But when they led me into the visitor’s room, it wasn’t my lawyer sitting on the other side of the plexiglass.

It was Julian.

My stomach dropped.

He looked different. Colder.

His suit was perfect. But his eyes-

Jesus

His eyes were like ice.

I picked up the phone on my side of the glass.

He picked up his.

And just stared at me.

The silence stretched.

I broke first.

Julian-”

“Why?” His voice was quiet.

Too quiet.

‘I don’t know what you’re-*

“Don’t lie to me. He leaned forward. “The police spent three weeks tracking you down, Catherine. Security footage from every payphone you used. Forensic evidence. Call records. They built an airtight case.”

My mouth went dry.

Julian, 1-”

“Why?” he asked again. “Why did you do it?”

I looked down at my hands.

Handruffed

Fuck.

“She doesn’t belong here,” I whispered

“What?”

I looked up. Met his eyes.

“She doesn’t belong in this family. She’s a nobody, Julian. A housekeeper’s daughter-

‘She’s my wife.”

“She trapped you-

*She saved my grandfather’s life.”

“She’s not good enough-”

*Shut up.”

His voice cracked like a whip.

I flinched.

He stood.

Walked to the glass.

Pressed his hand against it.

I thought he was going to break through and kill me.

“I warned you,” he said softly. “I warned you not to touch her.”

Julian-

“I told you at the estate. I told you to leave her alone.”

“She’s ruining everything-”

“She’s my wife. His voice was deadly calai now. “She was pregnant with my child. And you sent three men to beat her until she miscarried.”

Tears burned my eyes.

‘I didn’t mean for it to go that far-”

‘I don’t care what you meant.”

He leaned closer to the glass:

“She almost died, Catherine. She had a concussion. Cracked ribs. She bled out on the side of the road. And our baby-

His voice broke.

Just for a second.

Then that ice came back.

“Our baby is dead because of you.”

“Julian-

“Did anyone help you?” he asked suddenly.

My heart stopped.

“What?”

“Did anyone help you plan this? Anyone tell you to do it? Anyone pay for it?”

Victoria.

Her face flashed in my mind.

“Make it look like an accident. Make sure the baby doesn’t survive. I’ll take care of your family’s

She wired half a million to my father’s account from a shell company.

She promised that if I kept my mouth shut, she’d keep funneling money into our business.

Julian was watching me.

Waiting.

I swallowed hard.

“No,” I said. “No one helped me.”

He studied my face.

Long.

Hard.

Don’t break. Don’t break-

“You’re lying.”

“Who was it?” He slammed his hand against the glass. “Who the fuck are you working with?”

“No one!

“Catherine-

“I did it because I hate her!” I screamed. “Because she doesn’t deserve you! Because she’s a nobody and you’re a Sterling and she has no right to be in our family!”

The words came out raw.

Honest.

Julian stared at me.

Then he smiled.

It wasn’t a nice smile.

“You’re going to prison,” he said quietly. “Assault. Attempted murder. Conspiracy. You’re lookin

at ten to fifteen years, Catherine. Minimum.

My blood turned to ice.
