He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 446

Something was horribly wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint what.

It drove him to call her relentlessly at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The butler would hand the receiver to Helena.

She would answer the call, but she wouldn't say a word.

It seemed this was the only way Sebastian could reassure himself that she was still alive.

She hadn't even bothered to ask about the status of their divorce.

On the flip side, Janetta Ramirez was losing her patience, constantly hounding him for updates.

Sebastian offered her nothing but cold silence.

As time dragged on, Janetta grew increasingly resentful.

But she didn't dare push him too hard.

"Helena?" Sebastian's deep voice called out through the phone.

She didn't answer.

If he could have seen her, he would have realized she had simply tossed the phone onto the nearest table.

To be exact, she wasn't listening to a single word he said.

Sometimes, he would insist on a video call.

She would prop the phone up on a stand.

She would sit perfectly still in the frame, showing zero emotional response.

And she refused to meet his eyes through the screen.

"I'm flying back tomorrow," he offered into the silence.

Still, no response.

He had grown used to the agonizing quiet.

Eventually, the call disconnected.

Helena lowered her gaze, sitting perfectly still.

Tomorrow.

A faint, ethereal smile brushed her lips, though no one was around to understand its meaning.

That evening, after finishing dinner, she retreated to the master bedroom.

The staff thought nothing of it.

They made sure not to disturb her.

What they didn't know was that she was currently running a bath. She hadn't even bothered to take off her clothes.

She just laid back into the warm water.

Pinched between her fingers was The Eyebrow Razor, a tiny blade she had scavenged from the back of a drawer.

She stared at it intently.

There was no hesitation, no fear—just an eerie calm as she pressed the steel against her wrist and sliced a deep, savage gorge into her flesh.

"Madam is already asleep," the butler quickly reported, knowing exactly who his boss was looking for.

Lately, she had been going to bed at 9 PM sharp.

It was a remarkably healthy routine.

She would then reappear in the living room around 6 AM.

Everyone had grown completely accustomed to her new schedule.

Sebastian gave a low hum of acknowledgment as he reached her door.

Naturally, the butler stayed behind in the hallway.

When Sebastian pushed the door open, the room was pitch black and dead silent.

His brow furrowed deeply.

There wasn't even a nightlight on.

Helena was terrified of the dark and always slept with a lamp on.

It was a habit she absolutely could not break.

Especially after everything that had happened recently.

His eyes adjusted, and he instantly realized the bed was empty.

The sheets were perfectly made, showing no signs that anyone had slept there.

"Helena?" he called out into the darkness.
