HE LEFT ME FOR MY STEPSISTER, I MOVED ON TO THE NEXT Chapter 257
Chapter 257 Lucian’s fingers flexed at her waist, just once. Carmen’s hand slid up his chest, resting over his heart. It was beating fast. She looked up at him. “You’re hurting,” she said quietly. “So are you,” he replied. That was all it took. Their lips met slowly—not rushed, not desperate. Just a soft press at first. Testing. Asking. Then Carmen kissed him again, deeper this time. Lucian responded, his hand sliding up her back, pulling her closer. The kiss warmed, lengthened, their mouths moving together in a way that felt natural, easy. Carmen sighed softly against his lips, and the sound went straight through him. The world faded. They broke apart only when the song ended, breathing a little harder now. “Another drink?” Carmen asked. Lucian smiled faintly. “Definitely.” One drink became two. Two became three. They laughed..... really hard which was quite a surprising laughter because it was over nothing and everything too. Stories spilled out, blurred by

Chapter 256 I imagined him driving into the night alone, city lights blurring past him, carrying the weight of loving someone he had to let go. The door closed softly behind him. And I cried—not because I had lost him. But because I knew what it had cost him to walk away.THIRD PERSON POV The bar was dim, the kind of place where the lights stayed low on purpose, as if the walls themselves understood sorrow. Lucian sat at the counter with a glass of whiskey in his hand, staring into the amber liquid like it might answer him if he looked long enough. The burn in his throat was welcome. It gave him something else to feel besides the dull ache sitting heavy in his chest. Elena’s face kept flashing in his mind. Her tears. Her apology. Her truth. He tipped the glass back and drank again. “Another,” he muttered. The bartender didn’t ask questions. He just poured. Across the room, Carmen sat alone at a small table near the edge of the dance floor. A half-empty bottle of wine sto

Chapter 255 “No,” I interrupted, my chest heaving. “Please. Let me say it. I owe you that much.” He nodded once. I swallowed hard, my throat burning. “You saved me. Over and over again. You stayed when I was angry, when I was broken, when I didn’t know who I was anymore. You never asked for anything in return.” My breath hitched. “And I tried—I really did—but I can’t give you the kind of love you deserve.” The words felt like knives leaving my mouth. Lucian closed his eyes briefly, inhaling slowly, like he was steadying himself against a wave. “I know,” he said quietly. I looked at him, startled. “You… you do?” “Yes.” He opened his eyes and met mine, and there was no anger there. No bitterness. Just sadness—and acceptance. “I’ve known for a while.” Fresh tears slid down my temples. “I didn’t want to hurt you,” I whispered. “You didn’t deserve this. You deserved someone who could choose you without hesitation.” Lucian gave a small, sad smile. “Love isn’t a transaction, Elen

Chapter 254 “Keep talking to her.” The nurse encouraged Nathan. “Elena,” he whispered, his forehead resting against mine. “Stay with me. Just stay.” My vision tunnelled. The last thing I saw before the world softened was Mia being wheeled toward the door on a gurney. Her head turned. Her eyes found mine. Even restrained. Even bleeding. Even defeated. She smiled. It was slow. Cold. Promising. “This isn’t over,” she mouthed. Then the doors swung shut behind her. Darkness crept in. A needle pierced my arm. “Sedative,” someone said gently. “Just enough to calm her system.” I felt it spread through me—warm, heavy, dragging me downward. My body finally stopped shaking. My thoughts blurred. Nathan’s voice faded into an echo. As sleep claimed me, one truth remained, sharp and unrelenting— Mia Collins was alive. And she wasn’t finished with me yet.Few hours later, I woke up slowly, like my body was afraid of re-entering the world. The first thing I felt was the ache

Chapter 253 She laughed as they read her rights—laughed like someone who had nothing left to lose. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t even blink. My body felt hollow, like my soul had been scooped out and replaced with ice. Then the room tilted. The walls bent inward, closing in on me. The beeping of machines grew louder, faster, aggressive—like alarms were going off inside my skull. I sucked in a breath. It didn’t feel like enough. Another breath. Still not enough. My chest tightened painfully, my lungs refusing to expand properly. Panic surged through me, violent and uncontrollable. “I—” I tried to speak, but the word died in my throat. Dark spots crowded my vision. “Elena!” Nathan’s voice cut through the noise, sharp with fear. His arms were around me instantly. I didn’t remember falling—but suddenly I was no longer sitting upright. I was sagging forward, my forehead pressed against his chest, my fingers clutching his shirt like it was the only thing anc

Chapter 252 Then her knees buckled. She collapsed to the floor with a scream, clutching her injured hand as blood pooled beneath her. Alarms erupted. Shrill. Piercing. Relentless. Red lights flashed above the door. The heart monitor beside me screamed in protest, reacting to the chaos inside my body. Footsteps thundered in the hallway. Voices shouted. Security. Nurses. Police. Everything blurred. I was shaking so violently I couldn’t control it. My gaze was locked on the gun on the floor, the shattered glass, the blood—death’s echo still ringing in my ears. Nathan was suddenly beside me. “Elena,” he said urgently, his hands already working to free me. “Look at me.” I did. And I broke. Tears poured out of me as my body collapsed forward. When the gag came off, my scream finally escaped—raw, loud, shattered. “I thought—” I sobbed. “I thought she was going to kill me.” “I know,” he whispered, pulling me into his chest. “I’m here. I won’t let anyone hurt you.” The door
