The Heiress Revived from the Ashes (Lauren Bennett) novel Chapter 302

Chapter 302 Beast in Human Skin

“You’re insane! Aren’t you afraid of Felix coming after you?” Lucas shouted, voice hoarse with panic,

“Afraid?” Taylor sneered, completely unfazed. “I stopped caring about that the second I kidnapped Lauren?

She stepped forward, voice thick with venom. “I was going to seduce that bastard and milk him for everything he had. But he humiliated me. Forced me to eat cake until I blew up like a balloon. Now I’ve got diabetes, no money, no future–what the hell do I have to be scared of?”

“No, It’s Felix who should be afraid. I can’t wait to see the look on his face when he finds out Lauren’s gone.”

Taylor walked over to where Lauren lay

–

She was unconscious, her body burning up with fever. Her skin was flushed, lips cracked and dry, her face twisted in pain.

Lucas winced at the sight. His chest ached.

“She’s sick.” he said, almost pleading. “Can’t you at least get her some medicine?”

Taylor turned around and slapped him across the face.

The sound echoed in the room.

“You pathetic excuse for a man. No wonder Lauren never wanted you. Hell, even / find you repulsive. She doesn’t give a damn about you–so why the hell do you care!”

She sneered.

“If I were you, I would’ve taken her the second she got out of prison. She’s a convict–who would believe anything she says! If you’d done what you should’ve, she never would’ve ended up with Felix. She wouldn’t have anyone to run to. This is all your fault–for being weak”

Lucas’s cheek burned from the slap. Her words stung more than her hand ever could.

And the worst part?

She wasn’t wrong

He had hesitated. He’d pitied her, thought he was doing the noble thing. But that weakness had only driven her further away.

If he’d just taken her then–she’d be his now.

Back when he was still a lawyer, he could’ve given her a home. A stable life. She could’ve cooked, cleaned, raised their kids- and belonged to him

But now?

His eyes darkened as they landed on Lauren’s fevered face.

“This is all your fault,” he muttered. “You did this to yourself.”

Taylor patted him on the shoulder, her voice low and coaxing.

“That’s more like it. She’s just some tramp. You love her so much? Then take her now.”

She yanked open the iron cage and dragged Lauren out by her clothes, throwing her at Lucas’s feet like trash.

“She might not live through the night. This is your last chance. You two grew up together. You’ve always loved her. Don’t you

want to have her! You really okay just watching her slip away without ever touching her!”

He drew in a deep breath and knelt down slowly, teaching out a hand toward her

Taylor’s face lit up with glee. She fumbled to unlock her phone, opening the camera and pointing in raight at fauren.

She couldn’t wait to record this

She was shaking with anticipation.

And then–bum!:

A sharp knock exploded against the door.

The sound hit like a gunshot in the silence, freezing both of them in place.

They looked at each other, hearts racing.

Lucas’s hand hovered above Lauren, now stiff with tension.

Taylor grabbed a knife, stepping cautiously toward the door.

“Who is it?” she called out.

A woman’s voice answered from outside.
