The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 749

"Selena, are you really unwilling to come with me?" He squeezed my fingers even harder.

He dropped all talk of Vienna and golden halls. Instead, he stared at me with agonizing despair, his tone frantic. "Ferris doesn't love you at all! If he did, he never would have been with Zoey. Why are you so determined to waste your life on him? Weren't you divorcing him anyway? Finish it and be with me, okay? We'll leave Port Capital. We can go to Europe, or anywhere else. I can give you a stable, comfortable life..."

"He loves me." I couldn't stomach another word.

Caspian was spouting complete garbage again.

I wasn't going to listen, and I was done being polite. My tone turned dead serious and uncompromising. "Caspian, I know for a fact that Ferris loves me. He misunderstood me back then, and Zoey was just a facade. I am the only one he has ever cared about. Our relationship might have had its bumps, but it's solid now. I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying in Port Capital, right by his side."

"Selena, why are you so hopelessly blind?" The corners of his eyes flared red as the last shreds of hope died within them, leaving a chasm of bitter disappointment and desolation.

His voice dropped to a spectral whisper, laced with a manic, terrifying chuckle. "Don't you get it yet? You and Ferris don't have a future..."

"What does that mean?" I had felt something was wrong this entire time, but I hadn't dared push it. Now, the overwhelming sense of danger made it impossible to stay silent. I demanded an answer.

His grin stretched wider and wider. "You're never going back. Today, you're either coming with me, or you're staying right here. Selena, you and Ferris have no future, because you're never seeing him again."

"Caspian!" My heart slammed into my throat. My mouth went bone dry, and I clenched my fists, screaming at him.

My absolute worst nightmare was coming true.
