When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 83



The police had just left when Gemma briefly filled me in on the office chaos before dashing back, not even waiting for my word of thanks. As for me, I was far from okay. The doctor suggested I stay for more observation, but staying was out of the question for me.

Staggering, I made my way to Clyde's room, shocked to find him still unconscious after all this time.

The nurse looked at me with pity. "Mrs. Patterson, true love shines brightest in dark times. He'll surely remember your kindness once he wakes."

I forced a small smile, wishing he wouldn't remember at all. Remembering might just make him refuse the divorce again, complicating matters even further.

Beneath the calm surface, the Patterson family was anything but peaceful.

With no children from Clyde, Merritt would never let me continue as Mrs. Patterson.

Honestly, Kayla shouldn't have sided with an outsider. She could've easily taken my place as the esteemed Mrs. Patterson.

York had his eyes on the Patterson empire, but Merritt and Clyde kept him at bay, leaving him and the Lairds without a chance.

So, he roped in Kayla, who resembled me from my younger days. He knew about the strain between Clyde and me and used it to taunt me.
