Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 479

As for Nathan and Vanessa, those two vile excuses for human beings-Adah would make sure they never had another easy day as long as she lived.

Claire, you have to find happiness. Even if you can never forgive me, even if you never call me Mom again, I'll protect you-if it's the last thing I do. For the rest of my life, I'll live for you alone.

A wild, vengeful glint flashed in Adah's eyes.

She snatched up a rock from the ground and, with all the strength she could muster, brought it crashing down on Nathan's eye.

A guttural, animalistic scream tore from Nathan's throat.

In an instant, blood streamed from his ruined eye.

Adah straightened, looming over him as he writhed on the floor, clutching his face

in agony.

Last time around, Nathan had stabbed out her own eye. Because they were legally husband and wife, the attack was dismissed by everyone else as just another domestic squabble.

Well, this time she would take a page from Nathan's book. What did it matter? If she blinded him, no one would bat an eye.

Adah lifted her foot and pressed it hard against Nathan's head, grinding him mercilessly into the floor.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Look at you now, Nathan-you're like a mangy mutt."
