Left for Dead Came Back for Everything novel Chapter 88

To make his disgusting affair with Yvonne seem slightly more justifiable, he was actually willing to invent such a psychotic excuse.

Eliza's patience had entirely run dry.

She stared at his nauseating face on the screen, issuing a slow, deliberate warning.

"Zander, I am giving you one last chance. Get out of here right now! Otherwise, I will call the police and have you arrested for trespassing!"

"Then call them!"

Instead of backing down, Zander leaned in, fully committing to his shameless act.

"Call the police right now! Eliza, don't you hate me? Don't you want to destroy me?"

"I am a firefighter! If I get a criminal record, my career is completely over!"

"If ruining my life is what it takes for you to forgive me, then call the police! Have me arrested!"

He was gambling that the Eliza who used to look at him with pure adoration could never bear to actually destroy his career.

Standing inside, Eliza watched him use the lowest form of moral blackmail to manipulate her, finding him absolutely unhinged.

She suddenly ripped the front door open.

Caught off guard, Zander almost stumbled into the apartment.

But a surge of wild euphoria rushed through his chest, convinced that Eliza had finally softened toward him.

"Eliza, I knew you still..."

He didn't even get to finish his sentence.

Eliza's eyes flashed with ice as she raised her hand and delivered a resounding, vicious slap straight across Zander's face.

Zander's head snapped to the side from the sheer force of it.

Five bright red finger marks instantly welted on his pale cheek.

His ears were ringing loudly.

"Mr. Firefighter, who just broke into my home. Are you sober now?"

Eliza glared at him coldly, her eyes holding nothing but pure loathing and contempt.

"You wanted to know the truth so badly, didn't you?"

She lifted her chin slightly, her gaze sharp, backing him up step by step.

"Fine. I will grant your wish!"

"I am telling you right now, yes, I am living with Julian! Yes, I am interested in him!"

"I have completely moved on, and I want absolutely nothing to do with a psycho who spends his time hugging and kissing his fake sister!"

Zander violently whipped his head back to face her, his eyes widening in sheer disbelief.

"What... what did you say?"

Eliza let out a string of cold, mocking laughs.

"How does that feel, Zander? Does hearing that answer make you feel better?"

"Does it make you think that Eliza is just some fickle bitch, which proves that you were right to abandon me and save Yvonne first?"

"Does it mean you were right to let Yvonne humiliate me?"

"As long as you shove all the blame onto me, you and Yvonne can get married with a completely clear conscience, right?"

Eliza's words mercilessly ripped away Zander's final shred of dignity.

The color drained entirely from his face. He shook his head, his eyes brimming with absolute despair. "No... it is not like that..."
