Chapter 7

Author: Lavender Dream
At that moment, Zack was as furious as a beast, wanting nothing more than to tear Avril apart.

He seized her by the throat, staring at her with an icy, piercing gaze. He roared through gritted teeth, "Even now, you're still trying to deceive me!"

A murmur rippled through the guests.

"Good heavens, who would have expected such a twist? Has Avril been this vicious since she was a child? How could she have done such a thing to her own sister?"

"Poor Ashley. She was sold off by her parents when

  • He Saved Me to Steal My Marrow   Chapter 10

    Zack's hands hung limply at his sides. Suddenly, he looked up, his eyes gleaming as he said, "I know what to do now, Ashley. Just wait a little longer. Once I get everything back on track, you'll forgive me, won't you?"I looked at him and let out a silent sigh. But before I could even respond, he hurried off and disappeared.…The next time I saw Zack again was ten years later.I heard that, in an attempt to atone for his sins and win my forgiveness, he had ruthlessly locked Avril in the basement the moment he returned home from Trevallia. Then, he proceeded to cut the child from her womb forcibly.His expression twisted into something hideous and deranged as he sliced open her abdomen with his own hands.A manic, increasingly wild smile spread across his lips as he murmured, "Once the baby is cut out, my darling Ashley will surely forgive me. The child who died will forgive me too. Then, Ashley and I can be together forever.""No! Zack, stop!"But Avril's desperate, groveling

    Nathan kept glancing toward the door every now and then. After hesitating for a long moment, he finally asked, "That man has been hanging around here for days, just watching you from outside. Do you know him?"I followed his gaze and saw a familiar figure standing outside.It was Zack.His eyes were rimmed red, and he looked at me with profound heartache. But I had no energy to deal with him now, and I certainly didn't want to look at him for even a second longer."I don't," I said indifferently.With that, I had Nathan shut the door on him.However, Zack refused to give up and continued to keep watch every single day. He took over the nurse's duties, bringing my meals in and offering to wipe me down. He kept a solicitous eye on my wounds, and the moment I frowned, he would panic and call for a nurse.He brought me my favorite flowers and carefully cut apples into bite-size pieces for me. He even cooked me some stew and other nutritious meals himself.Still, I ignored it all.

    But by now, Zack found the mere thought of Avril repulsive. He roared at her again, "Get out!""You can't treat me like this! I'm pregnant with your child!" The words spilled out of Avril's mouth, her face etched with sorrow.Zack froze as a wave of deep remorse crashed over him.He and Ashley had once had a child, too. He suddenly recalled how overjoyed Ashley had been when she was pregnant.He opened their chat history and realized she had always initiated the conversations, while he only responded with cold, perfunctory replies.On January 20th, she texted, "Are you coming home tonight, dear? I have a huge surprise to share with you!"He replied indifferently, "Working late tonight. Not coming home.""You work so hard it breaks my heart… Please don't overexert yourself, dear. I'll make you some of your favorite stew tomorrow!"On January 22nd, she texted, "Dear, you haven't been home for two days. It must be really exhausting for you at work. Don't forget to take breaks e

Has Avril been this vicious since she was a child? How could she have done such a thing to her own sister?""Poor Ashley. She was sold off by her parents when she was young, and now they're exploiting her again—that whole family is nothing but trash.""Zack is a ruthless jerk as well. He hurt his own wife for the sake of another woman! Tsk.""Anyone caught in a situation like this would be absolutely shattered!"As the crowd's murmurs grew, Zack's expression darkened further.Even Ashley's biological parents who loathed her to the bone, Calvin Holden and Patricia Cox, stared incredulously at Avril. They were completely stunned and at a loss for w

    I returned home disheveled and packed my belongings.I burned everything associated with me in the fireplace, reducing it to ashes and making it seem as if I had never set foot in this villa.After handing a box to the butler, Ian Addams, I went straight to the airport. Just as I was about to board the plane, Zack sent a message with a feeble attempt to explain himself."I was in the wrong today, Ashley. I know you must be hurting because you didn't get to be the most beautiful bride today, and I shouldn't have said those things to you. I certainly shouldn't have laid a hand on you in front of everyone either."But I did it for the sake of the Burton family and your own reputation! Causing a scene like that at the wedding would have looked terrible for you. Besides, Avril's health is still fragile, and I was worried something might happen to her and you'd end up with a cruel and jealous reputation forever."I bought you a wedding gift. Let me make it up to you properly when I get

    Avril sobbed, "I'm sorry… I ruined this wedding. It's all my fault for wearing the wedding dress that was meant for Ashley… Seeing me in it must have upset her, which is why she—"Zack flew into a rage and turned to roar at me. "Avril only agreed to stand in for you at the wedding because she cared about you! She wanted to make amends and put the past behind you. And instead of being grateful, you actually tried to kill your own sister?"When did you become so vicious, Ashley Holden? Or were you always this malicious to begin with?" he hollered at me.Avril whined, "No, Zackie, please don't blame Ashley… I know she didn't mean it. I just lost my footing…"The crowd erupted instantly with everyone hurling curses at me. Even Mom and Dad rushed over and slapped me across the face."You good-for-nothing wretch! You just can't stand to see Avril doing well! If we'd known you'd turn out this wicked, we never should have given birth to you! We should have strangled you the moment you wer
