Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 253

Nathan threw his head back and burst into wild, manic laughter. His voice echoed around the hospital room-sharp, grating, utterly unrestrained.

"You pathetic woman! Do you really think I'd have let you live this long if I didn't need those last shares of yours?"

He grinned wide, his lips stretched in a hideous smirk, the corners of his mouth curling like a venomous snake coiling in the dark.

"Sharing a bed with you disgusts me. Every single night. And don't even get me started on sex-you just lie there like a corpse, no reaction at all. You think you compare to Sophia? You're not even worthy to polish her shoes." He shook his head, almost gloating, as if he were showing off some filthy secret.

"I'll tell you the truth: I never loved you. If your family didn't have money, I wouldn't have given you a second glance. Frankly, you were dumb enough to let me walk away with Jones Group. Once I'm out of here, I'll take the woman I actually love and my kids and move abroad. What could you possibly do to stop me? Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Nathan doubled over, laughing so hard his whole body shook, the wounds on his face twisting and splitting like ugly centipedes slithering across his skin.
