Chapter16 So that was the truth . There had never been any loyalty , any " sacrifice " from Bella Hart . Only Grace Miller , with blood on her hands , reckless courage , and a desperate fight to keep him alive ' . And Bella ? A fraud . A thief who stole another woman's deed and passed it off as her own . Every concession he had made , every compromise , every ounce of guilt he had carried out of " gratitude " -it was all a colossal farce . And what had he done to the one who had truly saved him ? He staged a car crash to warn her off when she began investigating . -He let Bella humiliate her in a police station , then told her to get out . -He dragged her off an operating table just to satisfy Bella's whim for cake . -He stood by while Bella used needles and capsaicin to scar her back . -He forced her into a pool scattered with shards of glass . -He threatened her with her parents ' company . Each scene , each memory cut into him like a blade , every image steeped in Grace ' s suffering , every one a monument to his cruelty and blindness ' . Why ? Why hadn't he checked the facts ? Why had he swallowed Bella ' s flimsy lies without question ? Why had he never considered that his quiet , " uninteresting " wife might have carried that kind of fearless resolve ? The weight of regret crushed him like a riptide , dragging him under until he could barely breathe . Finally , Alexander's head snapped up . He looked at Bella - still pretending to lie unconscious on the bed . His gaze turned glacial , livid , blazing with the fury of a man who realized he had been played for a fool . " Bella . Hart . " His voice was a rasp torn between rage and disbelief , every syllable ground out between his teeth . Chapter16 76.19 % Download Bella had seen everything . She had watched him replay the dashcam footage , watched the storm break across his face . The moment that deadly voice reached her , her body jolted . Her eyes flew open - and she was met with his , bloodshot and merciless . Her heart nearly stopped . " Alex ... 1 - I can explain ... " she stammered , scrambling upright . " Explain ?! " He slammed his phone in front of her , replaying the damning footage , his voice shaking with fury . " xplain how you stole another woman's sacrifice and conned me for years ' ! Huh ?! " Her face drained of color . She collapsed back onto the mattress , her spine gone limp . It was over . Everything was over . Then hysteria took her . She laughed - high , broken , maniacal . Laughed until it curdled into tears , until her words came out shrill and venomous . " Yes ! I lied ! So what ?! You were stupid enough to fall for it ! And Grace - that stupid bitch - who saves a man's life and leaves without a word ?! She deserved it ! Both of you - one blind , one dumb ! Ha ! Ha ha ha ! " Alexander recoiled from the twisted face before him . Disgust curdled deep , black and choking . He stripped her of everything - credit cards , apartment , luxury goods , every connection and resource she had leeched from him . He leveled fraud and defamation charges against her , exiling her from his world entirely , ensuring she would never set foot in his circle again . The fall was swift and merciless . Bella was disgraced , indebted , abandoned . She drifted overseas , penniless , broken - her mind finally shattering under the weight of her own lies . And Alexander ? After the shock , after the rage , came the void . A crushing , icy despair . Memories surged like acid , the divorce decree , the auction house , the police station , the freezer , the pool , the scars across her back .
