Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 619

Chapter 619 I’m Here to Kill You 

The lights on the second–floor corridor had gone out, and the lights from the living room barely reached the stairs, leaving Elias’s towering figure to be engulfed in darkness. 

He wore the same clothes as before, with his white shirt stained by a large patch of dried blood. He looked like a blood–soaked hand reaching out from hell, menacing and terrifying. 

Sadie was startled by his sudden appearance and instinctively stepped back, almost missing a step. 

She grasped the handrail for support and forced a smile. “Elias, when did you get back? I’ve been downstairs. How come I didn’t see you come in?” 

Elias remained silent as he stared down at her with cold, unreadable eyes. 

Sadie swallowed, her eyes couldn’t help but twitch. His sudden appearance was unsettling. 

Could he have discovered the truth? No, it was impossible. She had been careful, so he couldn’t possibly know. 

Sadie tightened her grip on the handrail. “I… I saw the news. Did something happen to Ashley? I was just about to put on a coat and head to the hospital to see her. If you’re home now, she must be all right. Good people tend to be blessed, don’t they?” 

However, Elias continued to stare at her, his face and eyes void of emotion. 

Elias usually acted rebellious, wild, and carefree. He would either defy his father, Rowan, making him back off or challenge his mother, Maya, driving her to fury. He had always displayed ferocity and had never been so calm. 

Elias gave Sadie the eerie impression of being unreal. A deep fear gripped her. 

“Elias, why are you looking at me like that?” Sadie asked. 

No… No, something was wrong. He must have learned the truth. 

Sadie stammered, “Elias! Don’t listen to other people! This has nothing to do with me! I wouldn’t dare hurt Ashley or your baby even if I had the guts to! You must believe me! It really wasn’t me! We’re a family!” 

The corner of Elias‘ lip curled up, and he smiled. The smile was so cold that it made it hard for Sadie to breathe. 

Just then, several people entered through the front door. “Elias? What are you doing on the stairs?” 

Rowan’s appearance was like a lifeline for Sadie. She quickly turned away from Elias and ran down the stairs. “Darling! Darling, help me! Elias is going to kill me!” 

Rowan looked stunned. “What?” 

Maya scolded her immediately. “Nonsense! Elias would never…” 

Elias finally spoke, “You’re right. I’m here to kill you.” 

As Sadie struggled to escape, Elias suddenly kicked her hard in the back. 

“Ah!” Sadie yelled as she lost control. 

She tumbled down the stairs and crashed to the floor. Rowan and Maya stood in shock while the approaching maids froze in horror. 

Sadie clutched at her stomach as she rolled around on the floor, screaming. “My stomach! My stomach!” 

Rowan witnessed what had just happened. “Elias! What are you doing? Go check on Sadie!” 

“Anyone who dares can try.” Elias slowly walked down the stairs as his voice made the maids freeze up. 

He grabbed a vase from a display in the corner of the stairwell. “Who gave you the nerve to team up with Gianna and harm Ashley?”
