When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 2219

Nicholas moved toward her again, and Cecilia darted for the bottle lying on the floor.

Thinking she meant to strike him, Nicholas backed up, only to see her lift the bottle to her own throat.

"Stay back!" Cecilia stared hard at him. "I don't like you and won't let anything happen between us. Keep obsessing if you must, but I already hate you, and nothing will ever change that."

Nicholas clearly didn't believe she would really hurt him. He leaned against the wall in a lazy slouch.

"If you really dare, I'll let you go," he drawled.

Without a blink, Cecilia dragged the glass across her skin. Blood beaded along her neck and slid downward.

Nicholas's pupils snapped into pinpoints.

"You!" Nicholas choked.

Cecilia cupped the bleeding spot. "Now will you get lost?"

Nicholas stayed exactly where he was.

"Still not enough?" She pushed harder, fresh blood spilling. "Have I paid you back yet?"

His Adam's apple jerked. "Fine. Perfect," he said.

Bitterness soaked every corner of his chest.

How worthless was he if Cecilia would rather cut herself than stay with him?

"All right. I'm leaving!"

This time Nicholas truly meant never to look for her again.

Yet, before stepping over the threshold, he glanced back.

"I wonder whether Nathaniel really loves you that much."

Cecilia didn't grasp the barb. Once he vanished, she pressed the wound, found her phone, and called an ambulance.

She didn't want to die; the whole scene had only been meant to scare Nicholas.

Four children waited for her at home. If she died, what would happen to them?

Tonight was Charlotte's wedding night.

Not wanting to spoil the celebration, Cecilia rode to the hospital alone and told no one.
