Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 218: Kellans voice cut through the tension, sharp as a blade.

What are you waiting for? Get on with it! Despite the searing pain in his leg, Kellan surged forward, kicking the oil pot with a swift, decisive motion.

The pot clattered across the floor, knocking it out of the way.

The sudden shift in events threw Devin completely off balance.

So youve been pretending all this time, huh? Devin sneered, his grip tightening around the knife in his hand, ready for retaliation.

Before he could act, Colton launched himself at Devin from behind, tackling him with a desperate lunge.

But Colton, pampered and untrained, stood no chance in a real fight especially with an injured leg.

Devin easily shook him off after a few quick strikes, landing two heavy punches to Coltons face, swelling his eye almost instantly.

But those few precious moments Colton bought were enough.

Kellan reached the platform and slashed the ropes holding the captives.

Melany and Allison tumbled to the floor, hitting the ground hard.

Oh my God, somebody help me! Melanys voice rang out, shrill with terror.

Her wide eyes were filled with panic, and the shock of the fall, combined with the chaos, made her crumble into sobs.

Allison, on the other hand, rolled with the impact and sprang to her feet, swift as a cat.

Chaos enveloped the room Melanys frantic cries only adding to the confusion.

Devins eyes blazed with fury as he realized the deception.

He grabbed the knife and charged at Allison, livid.

You conniving witch! You were playing me the whole time! He had believed he had her under his thumb, that she had surrendered.

The realization stung his pride more than anything.
