When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25 The Truth 

It had to be a coincidence! It had to be! If Cecilia was the one who saved me, why had she never mentioned it? And if it was her, then everything I had done to her over the years….. 

Zachary closed Cecilia’s medical report and returned to his office, where he sat in silence for the entire night. 

The next morning, Zachary dialed Stella’s number. 

“Stella, let’s meet. I have something to discuss with you.

At a private restaurant, inside a reserved room, Stella arrived looking elegantly dressed. 

A waiter came over and took her coat. 

Zachary’s eyes fell on her smooth, unblemished arms. There were no scars. 

Four years ago, his car had been in an accident. 

He was trapped inside, unconscious and covered in blood.

“Zach, you said you had something to tell me. What is it?” 

Zachary snapped out of his thoughts and withdrew his gaze, his tone cooling slightly.

For the first time, Zachary sensed something terrifying in Stella’s words. 

Was it wrong to be born into wealth and privilege? 

Moreover, he knew Nathaniel’s marriage to Cecilia was nothing more than a business 

arrangement. 

No one could force Nathaniel into anything. 

So why, in Stella’s mind, was that a reason for her to deserve death?
