Dangerous Liaisons: Love in the Shadows Chapter 62
I released my grip on Susan's arms, taking a step back to put some distance between us. As I studied her face, searching for any flicker of doubt or confusion in her eyes, I found nothing but emptiness staring back at me. Her gaze was blank, devoid of any emotion, her eyes as neutral as a blank canvas. "Why on earth would you help me?" I questioned, my voice laced with a hint of suspicion. A slight furrow formed on my brow as I continued, "I haven't the faintest idea who you are or who you work for." My words hung in the air, a mix of curiosity and caution. Susan's expression remained unreadable as she met my gaze, her silence stretching on for what felt like an eternity. For a moment, I wondered if she would even answer my question, if she would continue to play her games and keep me in the dark. But then, finally, she spoke. "I have my reasons," she replied cryptically, her voice barely above a whisper. I narrowed my eyes at her vague response, feeling a surge of frustration bubb
Dangerous Liaisons: Love in the Shadows Chapter 63
As I stood there, my heart pounding against my ribcage, I was utterly shocked. The words she spoke seemed to hang in the air, surreal and unbelievable. At first, I couldn't fathom that any of it could be true. How could it? She wanted me to go with her, to meet her master. A master who, to my astonishment and horror, turned out to be none other than my own father. The same father who had cast me aside the moment I drew my first breath, who had never shown me an ounce of love or compassion. The very same man who had orchestrated the demise of my beloved mother. The enormity of her request weighed heavily on my mind. To confront the man who had caused me so much pain, who had shaped my life in ways I couldn't begin to comprehend, seemed like an insurmountable task. As I weighed my options, the thought of marrying Clyde solely for the purpose of revenge seemed like a tempting prospect. After all, what better way to make him pay for the pain he had caused me than to tie him to me for li

My heart pounded in my chest as I stood my ground, refusing to back down in the face of Susan's thinly veiled threats. "And why's that?" I pressed, my voice steady despite the roiling emotions churning within me. "What are you going to do if I don't listen?" Susan's gaze bore into mine, her eyes glittering with a mixture of defiance and apprehension. Before she could utter another word, I felt a surge of anger welling up inside me, fueling my actions. Without hesitation, I raised my hand and delivered a sharp slap across her face, the sound echoing in the tense silence that enveloped us. She recoiled in shock, her hand flying to her cheek as she staggered backward, her composure shattered. But I refused to relent, my resolve steeling as I faced her head-on. "Else what?" I challenged, my voice dripping with contempt. "Your master won't forgive me?" A bitter laugh escaped my lips, tinged with a hint of irony. "Or how about I don't forgive him for making my life hell all these years?"

A sharp intake of breath escaped my lips as Susan leaped out of the window, her form disappearing into the inky blackness below. Without a moment's hesitation, I sprinted towards the open window, my heart pounding in my chest as I frantically wished to save her. But before I could reach her, a deafening thud echoed through the room, freezing me in my tracks. Dread pooled in the pit of my stomach as I realized the source of the sound, my hands trembling uncontrollably at the thought of what awaited me below. As I stood there, rooted to the spot, a cacophony of noises erupted from outside the window, assaulting my senses with their intensity. The once peaceful day air was now filled with the chaotic symphony of distant gasps, shouting voices, and the unmistakable wail of approaching danger. It was chaos outside, people running in every direction, their hurried footsteps echoing off the walls, mingling with the occasional scream from the maids. My heart pounded in my chest as I stood f

I took a long, deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. The weight of the moment pressed down on me, and I knew I needed to say something, to make him believe me. “I didn't push her, that's true," I began, my voice trembling slightly. "But..." Clyde’s eyes never left mine, his face set in a serious, unwavering expression. "But what?" he asked, his tone gentle yet firm, urging me to continue. “But maybe I'm the reason," I admitted, the words spilling out of me in a rush. Clyde's eyebrows knit together in confusion, but he didn’t interrupt. His silence was a prompt, urging me to explain. “I mean," I continued, taking another shaky breath, "I didn’t physically push her, but I feel like I might have set things in motion. Maybe if I had acted differently, been more aware, this wouldn’t have happened. Maybe there was something I could have done to prevent it." And without wasting a second, he said, "No, you're not responsible for her death." His voice was firm, almost commanding, and it

Closing my eyes briefly, I gathered my scattered thoughts, taking a deep breath to steel my nerves. As I opened my eyes, I ventured into the fragile territory of truth, hoping against hope for a glimpse of understanding in Clyde's hardened heart."Would you believe me if I say, I never pressed the button?" I posed the question tentatively, hoping maybe he would trust me for the last time. His silence hung heavy in the air, a flicker of uncertainty clouding his steely gaze. It seemed, albeit for a fleeting moment, that my words had managed to convince him trust me.But any inkling of empathy I sought from him was swiftly quashed. His eyes, once clouded with uncertainty, hardened into an impenetrable mask of coldness. His response, delivered with an unwavering determination, shattered any hope of finding common ground between us."No!" His voice, dripping with bitter finality, was accompanied by a haunting assertion that echoed through the room. "Because it's in your blood to betray," h

The silence whispered secrets, as if waiting for me to unravel the complexities that defined my existence.My heart skipped a beat as I turned to find Susan standing there, right beside the bed. The shock of her silent entrance caught me completely off guard, leaving me bewildered and intrigued all at once.
