Chapter 92
Had she screwed up?
Evelyn flashed back to Tristan’s words at her apartment []
The disgust in his eyes when he looked at her like she was nothing, then the softness and guilt when he spoke about Adeline. He regretted ever getting involved with Evelyn, was so revolted he couldn’t even stand himself []
“AAAAHHH!]
Tll kill you right here! I’ll cut you into fucking pleces
“When you’re gone, I’ll move into your house, sleep in your bed with your man I’ll build my happiness on the ashes of your pathetic life! Tristan and I will get married, have beautiful children, and live the perfect life! While you’ll be nothing but dust! I can beat a pile of dust!]
Her words became increasingly unhinged, her body vibrating with the urge to tear Adeline apart.]
She’d completely Jost it.[]
Adeline gave a bitter laugh. “Aren’t you worried I’ll haunt you as a ghost?“]
Evelyn’s lips twisted. “If you become a ghost, I’ll hire the best psychic to trap your spirit. I’ll make you watch Tristan and me in bed every single night. I’ll force you to see everything that was yours becoming mine]
“God, you’re such a cliche Adeline said flatly.]
Evelyn stared at Adeline’s face–bloody, swollen, completely disheveled, yet somehow still beautiful and defiant. This drove her over the edge, and she pummeled Adeline with another round of blows]
From somewhere in the shadows, a man’s cold voice cut in: “She’s buying time. If you’re going to do it, do it now.”
The warning snapped Evelyn back to reality.[]
She stood up straight. “Stalling for time, Adeline? Hoping someone will come riding to your rescue?]
“Dream on Nobody’s saving you tonight. Nobody will look for you here. By the time they find you, you’ll be dead–suicide, complete with the note we’ve already written for you“]
“Time to say goodbye.”
She stepped back, flicking the lighter on with a metallic snap.
She savored the raw fear in Adeline’s eyes as she tossed the lighter into the air.
The instant Evelyn lit the flame, pure survival instinct helped Adeline fight through the drug’s effects. She tried desperately to escape.
But she only managed to roll off the sofa onto the floor []
As the flame descended, she squeezed her eyes shut in absolute terror.[]
Evelyn watched eagerly, walling for fire to consume her rival!]
In that split second…[]
A hand intercepted the falling lighter when it was barely two inches from the ground.[]
The explosion of flatnes never came[]
The Lighter that should have at the ground made no sound, nor did it ignite the gasoline. Instead, a dark figure had materialized in the room.]
“Who the fuck are your
Evelyn’s face contorted with shock.]
Realizing someone had appeared to ruin everything–that her plan was falling apart–she lunged toward Adeline without thinking. She grabbed a knife from the coffee table and drove it toward Adeline’s crumpled form]
Adeline saw two shadows diving toward her simultaneously []
The expected pan never came]
The metalli anell of blood suddenly overpowered the gasuline []
“AHHH–r
A womans cream jersed the air followed by the heavy thud of a body futting the floor []
Adeline couldn’t process what was happing A tell figure half covered her body, and her face pressed against the fabric of his shirt. That distract send triggered something deep aide her. “Zarek?[]

Chapter 92
“You actually tried to burn her alive? Summer shouted, her voice shaking with rage “You’re a fucking psychopath! You belong in a padded cellr[]
Tristan, please, Evelyn immediately shifted gears, her voice small and trembling “It’s not what it looks like. I’m being set up. I’m the victim here
Tristan stood frozen, taking in the nightmarish scene, his eyes fixed on Adeline’s battered form. His heart felt like it was bring shredded.[]
He couldn’t move. Couldn’t speak
The sounds around him warped and distorted, washing over him like acid []
The consequences of his affair were bleeding out in front of him. He remembered Adeline’s words: You may not kill me yourself, but if I die because of you, what’s the difference?]
There really was no going back…[]
Outside, the night was pitch black. The world before his eyes faded to endless shades of gray, all vibrancy leached away forever []
“Adeline
His legs felt impossibly heavy []
She looked at him, her gaze empty as a frozen lake.[]
They stared at each other for what felt like eternity.[]
But in the end, neither spoke a word.]
Some pain goes beyond language. They had traveled from brilliant summer to bitter winter, with no spring on the horizon.
Adeline and Zarek were taken to the hospital.[]
Lyelyn was hauled off in handcuffs.[]
She claimed Zarek had broken her ribs and demanded medical attention, but her movements clearly contradicted her claims. The police weren’t buying it.[]
First hiring a hitman, now attempting murder herself. The charges were plling up.
Adeline had only surface bruises, apart from the lingering effects of the drug.
Zarek, however, had taken Evelyn’s knife in his lower back. Though no organs were damaged, the wound was deep enough to require several stitches, bandaging, and days of rest with regular dressing changes.]]
Adeline felt a complicated mix of gratitude and guilt []
Night had deepened into the early hours.]]
They were in separate hospital rooms. []
In her room, Tristan sat beside the bed whille Summer dozed on the sofa outside.]]
Tristan hadn’t said a word since bringing her to the hospital. The man who once roared like a lion had become hollow and silent.[]
Adeline truly had nothing left to say to Jum.[]
She didn’t have the energy to yell, to hate, to feel much of anything. All emotions had become distant, like viewing them through frosted glass.]
“You should go,” she finally told hum–her first words all niglu “Summer’s here. I’m fine
Her tone was flat and detached, like talking to a stranger at a bus stop.[]
Tristan lowered his eyes, tus voice barely above a wlusper “I’d rather stay Notlung waiting at home anyway. Someone should watch your IV“]
Adeline looked at lum for a long moment but said nothing more[]
She closed her eyes!
Tristan lifted his gaze. The soft glow from the bedside lamp washed over her face. He watched her like this through the right, memorizing every detall]
At some point be rested his head near the crook of her neck silent tears falling dampening her hair
