Even now, after everything, she still wanted to marry Everett.
From the moment she first laid eyes on him, through all the trials and tribulations, Heather yearned to be Everett’s wife, if only for a day...
Everett furrowed his brow, his eyes cold and calculating as if he were trying to figure out how to disarm her.
Seeing no immediate movement from him, Heather pressed the blade she held ever so slightly deeper into Dorothy’s neck. “Unwilling?”
“Ahh...” A sharp pain forced a cry from Dorothy, but she still managed to extend a trembling hand towards Everett, shaking her head. “Don’t... Everett, please don’t...”
“Don’t touch her, I’ll do as you say!” The sight of Dorothy’s blood sent Everett into action, casting aside all other concerns.
He dropped to one knee, his gaze lifting to meet Heather’s. “Are you satisfied now?”
“I told you to propose, not to beg! You haven’t even spoken yet,” Heather twisted her face into a perverse semblance of joy. “Say it, ask me to marry you!”
Everett clenched his teeth, with a frosty glare in his eyes, “I ask you to marry me.”
But Heather laughed even more wildly, “Louder, I didn’t hear you, and neither did Dorothy!”
“I ask you!” Everett raised his voice.
“I still didn’t hear you. Come closer,” Heather toyed with him.
Everett started to rise, but she cut him off, “Don’t you stand. Crawl to me on your knees and then say you want to marry me!”
Everyone present was in sheer silence.
Dorothy strained to open her eyes, only to catch a blurred vision of the man who once stood so high above them, untouchable in his dignity, now kneeling on the dirty ground before Heather.

Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
