The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 540

At the moment the knife came at her, Dahlia didn't close her eyes. She looked straight at Charles.

There was a flash of triumphant satisfaction in her gaze.

Charles really had raised his hand against her.

She had destroyed the man she loved most, right before her death.

But deep in her eyes, there was also an agonizing pain—bone-deep, soul-tearing.

The man she loved with all her heart truly hated her.

Hated her enough to wish her dead.

Amidst the tangled emotions, the pain she expected never arrived.

The knife was aimed at her heart, but just as it touched her chest, it stopped.

Dahlia's eyes lit up with a desperate hope, and she blurted out, almost against her will, "Charles, you can't do it, can you?"

"There's still a place for me in your heart, isn't there?"

A cold, bitter laugh escaped Charles.

He looked at Dahlia, his expression icy enough to freeze her soul. He changed the direction of the dagger, pressing it against one of her many wounds. "I just don't want to dirty my own hands."

She wanted to drag him to hell with her-did she really think she deserved that?

He did wish he could tear Dahlia apart, piece by piece.

But for Dahlia, to stain his own soul wasn't worth it.

Death would be too easy for her.
