I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 278

“And I despise unfaithful men. A man who has betrayed me is like money that has fallen into a sewer. It might still be valuable, but it’s too filthy to touch. The thought of it disgusts me. Even if you want to torture me, even if you won’t grant me a divorce, please, don’t do it like this.”

My voice softened. “And if you agree to the divorce, I promise, we will find a way to repay you for what you did for Horace today. You’re not a complete monster yet. I don’t want to keep fighting with you about the past. Let’s just let each other go. This marriage was a mistake. Let’s both forget it ever happened.”

In my past life, I had craved his affection. But his heart had belonged to another, and after years of his torment, I had finally woken up from my dream. The moment I died, my past with him was severed.

Steven was not worthy of my love. But I didn’t want to be entangled with him any longer. Let the love and hate die with our past lives. From now on, I didn’t even want to think his name.

“Forget?” My last words seemed to have finally struck a nerve, eliciting a reaction.

I saw a glimmer of hope. “Don’t you get tired of fighting all the time? Believe me, the best thing for both of us is to go our separate ways and never see each other again.”

He narrowed his eyes, and I could almost feel something inside his chest tearing apart, a pain so intense it was unbearable. “It sounds like you really don’t want anything to do with me.”

His hand was a vise on my ankle, leaving red marks on my skin, his grip so tight I thought the bone might snap. His gaze was deep and penetrating, and a chilling smile touched his lips.

“But why shouldn’t I have you? Zephyra, you’re the one who invades my dreams every night. You’re the one who makes it impossible for me to distinguish between reality and fantasy. You’re the one who has been tormenting me, driving me to the brink of insanity. And through it all, I never thought of hurting you.”

“But you just had to come back. You just had to provoke me, again and again. Well, now you’re going to pay the price.”

What?

The person in his dreams was me? How could it be me?
