Left for Dead Came Back for Everything novel Chapter 69

"We grew up together. She gave me the best years of her youth. She loves me so much, and her heart belongs entirely to me!"

"She's just angry with me right now. She's temporarily blinded by people with hidden agendas!" Zander clenched his fists, his face a mask of self-righteous indignation.

"As long as I make it up to her, she'll forgive me. She's just throwing a tantrum!"

Watching his pathetic self-delusion, Yvonne was so consumed by jealousy she could hardly breathe.

Even after Eliza had made her utter disgust brutally clear, even with other men constantly circling her, Zander still refused to give up!

What kind of demonic spell had Eliza cast on him!

Yvonne wanted nothing more than to march right over and claw Eliza's face off.

Instead, she threw herself forward, burying her face deep into his chest as she wept with manufactured helplessness.

"Okay, I'll stop talking. Zander, please don't be mad. I won't say another word..."

Clinging to him, she whispered softly, "I just hate seeing you in so much pain. I just care about you so much. No matter what happens, I will always be right here by your side."

Hearing her submissive devotion, Zander felt a tiny sliver of comfort settle over his fractured pride.

With exhaustion heavy in his eyes, he raised his arms and hugged her back.

"I know. I know how good you are to me," he said, his voice ragged with exhaustion.

"You've been through a lot today. Let's go. I'll take you home."

A triumphant, sinister smirk slowly curved onto Yvonne's lips.

Zander sat in the back of the taxi, completely drained!

He kept his eyes closed, his mind endlessly looping through every memory of him and Eliza from the past decade!

Eliza, his sweet Eliza...

How did things ever spiral to this point?

Where exactly had he gone wrong?

Sitting next to him, Yvonne felt her bruised cheeks throbbing with sharp, stinging pain.

But the physical ache was nothing compared to the raging storm tearing through her mind!
