A sharp, agonizing scream pierced the air, followed by a spray of blood
One brutal cut after another, carving fresh red roses onto Elsie’s face.
It wasn’t until her face was completely mutilated that the bodyguards finally released her.
She kneeled on the ground in agony, trembling as she reached up to touch her face, only to immediately pull them away in horror. “My face! My face!”
Her friends were paralyzed with fear. They huddled against the walls, unable to move.
Caspian’s cold gaze swept over them. His voice was like the whisper of a devil in their cars. “Take care of them too.”
Their faces turned white as sheets, and their bodies shople uncontrollably
Realizing that everything had been sie’s idea, they quickly pushed all the blame onto her
“Mr. Bellwether, this isn’t our fault!”
“Yeah, it was all Elsie’s idea! We didn’t do anything!”
Hearing them try to twist the truth, Elsie would’ve slapped them hard and berated them if it were any other time.
But now, she was curled up on the ground, barely conscious from the pain.
Caspian’s expression grow colder. He motioned for the bodyguards to take action.
A few more savage slashes, followed by fresh screams, echoed through the villa. The air was thick with the stench of blood, making it almost impossible to breathe. When the doctor finally arrived, casplan gently handed Shannon, who had lost consciousness from the pain, over to him. He Instructed the doctor to treat her in her
After all that, be tumed his attention back to Elle. He walked slowly toward her and crouched down in front of her.
“W–Why…” she gasped, trying to form words through her pain.
Caspian gave a cold laugh. “Why? You hurt my wife!”
Elsie’s eyes widened in disbelief. She stammeted, “Y–Your wife?!
He was married? That woman was really his wife?
A wave of terror washed over her. She instinctively tried to retreat, but he grabbed her by the throat.
“I thought you were compliant. But now, you dare to touch what’s thine? How many lives do you think you have to risk to do this, Elsie?
Elsie’s body trembled uncontrollably as tears streamed down her face.
“C–Caspian, 1-
up!
Caspian’s grip tightened around her throat, as though he intended to choke the life out of her right then.
Elsie couldn’t breathe. Her stomach grew more painful by the second.
With tears streaming down her face, she looked at him, pleading. “Please, Mr. Bellwether spare me for the sake of our child.”
The mention of the child only darkened Casplan’s expression further.
“Our child? When did I ever say this was our child?”
Elsie’s face drained of color, and her body froze in shock
“W–What do you mean?”
When Caspian had first approached her, to avoid complications, he had told her that all she needed to do was carry his child. He didn’t say anything else.
At the time, Elsie was blinded by the allure of wealth and didn’t think much about it. She simply believed that with this child, she would rise in status and marry into a prestigious family
But now, when she heard his words, an ominous feeling crept up on her
Sure enough, Caspian leaned in close to her ear, emphasizing each word. “This child is mine and Shannon’s. You were nothing more than a tool.”
With a buzzing sound, Elsie’s mind went completely blank
Caspian’s grip her face tightend, and his gaze grew evermore inocking.
“Do you know why I chose you back then? Because your face resembled Shannon’s, and so will your child’s. You were just a substitute, and you dared to dream of climbing to the top? How toolish”
Bach word struck harder than the last. Elsie collapsed to the ground, utterly defeated.
She poffed. Her dream of marrying into wealth was completely crushed by Casplan.
Seeing her laugh maniacally, Caspian didn’t spate her a second glance.
Just then, the doctor rushed out of the room. “Mr. Bellwether, Mrs. Bellwether’s life is in danger. She needs to go to the hospitall
Without a second thought, Caspian kicked Elsie aside and rushed back into the room to carry the unconscious Shannon.out.
The back sent blood pouring from beneath Elsie
alization hit her like a ton of bricks.
“My baby! My baby
