Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 404

Clara felt a chill run down her spine.

She had always thought Conner was a gentle and affectionate man, someone easy to manipulate. But now, she realized he was ruthless enough to harm Nathalie without hesitation.

His whole loving persona had been a play.

Conner's ultimate goal was to secure the Ramoz family's support to bolster his power in Seathburn City.

"If you don't want to share the same fate as her, you'd better behave and avoid angering me," warned Conner, his tone chilly.

"No, I won't..." Clara shook her head frantically. "Just let me stay as Nathalie Ramoz and your fiancée, living this life, and I'll do whatever you want!"

"Good." Conner shrugged off his jacket, adding, "Tomorrow, you're coming with me to the hospital, and you'll apologize to Bryce on your knees."

"What?" Clara's face paled. "You want me to apologize to Bryce on my knees?"

"Not just Bryce, but Maeve as well."

Clara's expression darkened further at the second half of his words. "No, I won't do it!"

Conner shot her a withering look.

Terrified, Clara shrank back and bit her lip. "Anything but getting down on my knees before Maeve. I'll do anything else."

"Even going to jail?" sneered Conner.
