Seven Years of Marriage with Jake

Chapter 67

Chapter 11

Nancy, ignoring the pain, scrambled to her feet and tried to pull Lucas off Jacky.

But Lucas, his eyes red with fury, was lost in his rage. With a fierce shove, he sent Nancy crashing into the corner of the room. Jacky's screams of agony slowly faded as Lucas's punches rained down on him, until the man lay there, limp and unresponsive. Nancy, now desperate, lunged at me like a madwoman.

"This is all your fault, you bitch! You ruined everything! Now Ciara can't get her heart transplant!"

I just laughed coldly.

My men grabbed her, pinning her to the ground.

I knelt down beside her, gently tapping her face with my phone.

"Blaming me, huh? You're the one who seduced Lucas and tried to kill me and my son. You wanted to steal Cody's heart for your daughter."

"Let me tell you something. People like you and Lucas deserve each other. You two snakes belong together, locked up forever."

I stood up, looking down at Nancy as she cried in anguish.

"I'm actually grateful for one thing, though. You helped me see Lucas's true nature."

"Now, the two of you can enjoy the rest of your miserable lives together."

With that, I turned and walked out of the room, leaving her screaming and cursing in a mix of fury and heartbreak.

This city may be small, but the scandal wasn't.
