Chapter 10
“The biggest regret of my life was falling in love with you. If there’s a next life, I hope we never meet again.” My note ended.
Scalding tears spilled from Nathan’s eyes, soaking the letter.
I watched, unimpressed, until Nathan suddenly bolted out of the room, grabbed his car keys from the entryway, and sped off toward the hospital.
Trinity’s face lit up the moment she saw Nathan. Her eyes curved as she smiled and called out, “Nate!”
But Nathan stormed over to her bedside with a terrifying expression and grabbed her by the throat.
Trinity froze in shock. Her face turned red as she struggled weakly, clawing at Nathan’s hands, trying to break free.
“Trinny! Mr. Heath, what are you doing? Let her go!” Mom lunged forward, desperately slapping and biting Nathan until he
finally let go.
She cradled Trinity, who was gasping for air, and sobbed. “Mr. Heath, do you know how hard we fought to keep Trinny alive? No
matter what’s going on between you two, you can’t hurt her!”
Nathan’s eyes were cold and menacing, his entire body radiating murderous intent. Without hesitation, he kicked Mom and
Trinity to the ground.
Trinity, still weak from surgery, sucked in a sharp breath from the pain and then burst into sobs.
Nathan pulled out his phone and played the recording of my conversation with Trinity.
Mom’s eyes widened in shock as she turned to Trinity, her grip on her tightening involuntarily.
In a panic, Trinity scrambled to snatch Nathan’s phone from his hands, only for him to shove her back forcefully.
“This is the daughter you love so much? And for her, you treated Tegan the way you did all these years? Just wait. I’ll make you
pay back every single thing you owe her!”
With that, he stormed out.
Mom staggered to her feet, looking utterly shattered, and stumbled after him.
I stayed behind, watching Trinity’s pathetic state with amusement.
She didn’t understand. The living could never win against the dead.
