Chapter 70 D Sadie's POV " Aaah ! " I completely broke down . My world had shattered , and I was tearing at my own hair like a madwoman . Behind me , Melanie chuckled cruelly and mockingly . " " Oh , don't be so devastated , " she said . " I'm already pregnant with Denton's baby . He hasn't lost anything . " \ She then stepped closer , her heels clicking against the floor like a slow drumbeat on my sanity . " " Trash gets what trash deserves . Just like that little bastard of yours , he ended up exactly how he was meant to . And you ? You'll go out the same way , you crazy woman ! Eight hundred people die in London every single night , so your disappearance wouldn't be questionable . " \ She paused , grinning wider . " Oh , and your little bastard , he turned out to be just as useless as you . We thought his heart could save Jewel , but the transplant didn't match . So , I had it tossed out . Like medical waste . " } Her heels clicked again as she turned and walked away , every step echoing in my skull . " I'm going to kill you! " I screamed . I lunged at her like a wild animal . But before I could even reach her , a foot slammed into my side and sent me flying . " It was Denton . " " You dare lay a hand on Melanie ? " he sneered . " Clearly , I've been too soft on you . " > He glanced around the room , and his eyes landed on the ashes spilled on the floor. Then , he smiled . " You wanted this bastard's heart so badly , didn't you ? " Guessing his next move , I shook my head over and over , tears streaming down my face . I could only beg him with my eyes . Yet he ignored me completely and instructed , " Feed it to the dogs . " " " No ! Please , no ! I'm begging you , don't do this ! " I dropped to my knees , sobbing , slamming my forehead against the cold tile over and over . Blood poured down my face and mixed with the ashes of my son on the ground . But it was no use . Moments later , his men stormed in , grabbed me , and threw me out into the street like trash . Feeling empty and lost , I wandered like a ghost . Mick had been my whole world . Without him , I didn't know who I was or why I was still breathing . " Then , I heard screeching tires , and the next thing I knew , my body soared through the air . A sickening crack then exploded inside me , and I could feel warm blood gushing from somewhere deep , breaking through barriers like a dam . " Then everything went light . My limbs felt weightless , almost like they weren't even there . " " Someone call an ambulance ! She's bleeding out ! " They were trying to save me . But why hadn't anyone tried to save Mick ? " When I woke up in a hospital room , everything was blindingly white , and my body was wrapped in layers of gauze . A doctor then carne in , expression heavy . " Ma'am , I'm sorry . We couldn't save the baby . " I smiled faintly , bitterly . " I know . Mick's gone . " } The doctor hesitated before asking , " Mick ? Was that the name you chose for the baby you were carrying ? " His words froze me in place . I looked up , stunned . [ " You were nearly three months along , " he said quietly . " The car accident caused the miscarriage . There weren't any major fractures , but your body has too many overlapping injuries , We recommend a longer stay for observation . " " Pregnant ? I had been pregnant , and now I wasn't ? Fate really did have a sick sense of humor . & Then it all came back to me . Three months ago , the night Melanie returned , I had started to suspect their relationship . I drank too much that night , and Denton forced himself on me . So maybe that child , conceived without love , was never meant to stay . But Mick … what had he ever done to deserve this ? \ Three days later , the moment I left the hospital , someone grabbed me and shoved me into the trunk of a car . After a long , bumpy ride , I was dragged out again . & 212 26.9 % P Then I smelled that familiar jasmine scent , Melanie's perfume . \ I tried to run , but two huge men pinned me down . " She smiled sweetly , twirling a glass jar between her fingers . \ Inside it floated Mick's heart . " D " I heard you really wanted this ? " she said with a smirk . " If you're willing to play a few games with me , I might just give it back . What do you say ? " " Before I could answer , she signaled her men . " They dragged me into a room lined with cameras , flashing lights everywhere . I wasn't alone . There were at least a dozen men inside , each of them barely clothed . Eighteen hours later , I was tossed out like garbage - broken , bleeding , and barely conscious . Denton yanked me up by my hair and hissed into my ear , " You really are just a whore who'll sleep with anyone . " " With every ounce of strength left in me , I weakly pushed his hand away and said , " Don't touch me . " But he only scoffed . " Still acting innocent ? Let me tell you , I'm gonna sell you to the dirtiest red - light district in the world . For someone like you , that might actually be paradise . " } He then motioned to his men and instructed , " Take her away . " " Suddenly , a deep , unfamiliar voice echoed behind us . " Anyone who touches her dies ." A tall figure stood in the doorway , blocking the light . I could barely keep my eyes open , but I heard his voice again . " " Come with me . " I didn't know who he was . \ But in that moment , anyone was better than Denton .
