Chapter 443:
“You think dying will be that easy? Dream on!” Ivy hissed, grabbing a handful of my hair and jerking my head upward until I was forced to meet her poisonous stare. Her eyes blazed with malice, making her look like a demon from hell itself. “Since you care so much about them, I’ll make sure that woman suffers too. I want you to watch them pay the price for your actions!”
Suddenly, faint voices drifted through the empty corridor.
“Mommy! Mommy, where are you…”
“Lianne! Don’t worry about us! Just run!”
I recognized the voices. Ruby and Tracy.
𝘔o𝘳𝘦 𝗻𝗈𝗏е𝗹𝘀 о𝗇 𝘨𝖺𝗹𝗻o𝘷𝘦𝗅s.𝘤o𝗆
The sound of my daughter’s tearful cries shattered my fragile defense.
Dragging my battered and blood-soaked body across the floor, I struggled to look toward the source of their voices, my sight blurred by tears and blood.
“Ruby…” I murmured weakly, the word barely escaping my lips.
As I watched Ivy raise her silver cane again and saw the three men closing in around me with cruel smiles, every last trace of resistance left me.
“I surrender.” I dropped to my knees, pressing my forehead against the icy concrete, my voice trembling with despair and defeat. “Ivy, I give up… Please don’t hurt them.”
Tears of humiliation mixed with the blood on my face, dripping onto the floor beneath me as I shut my eyes.
“No matter how horrible your conditions are, I’ll accept them. I’ll agree to anything you ask. Just release my daughter and set my friend free.”
Broken, bruised, and bleeding, I remained kneeling there with my forehead against the cold floor, waiting for a shred of mercy from Ivy.
Instead, a mocking laugh reached my ears, dripping with contempt.
Ivy sneered as she stepped closer and used the bloodstained tip of her silver cane to lift my chin, forcing me to look at her. “Lianne, why are you so naive? Do you honestly think I’d leave you alive when you’d only try to seduce Ethan again? Or let that little brat live when she could someday threaten what belongs to my future child?”
Mad obsession gleamed in her eyes as her voice sharpened. “The only heir Ethan will ever have is the child I give him! As for you and your daughter, you’re both dying here today!”
“No…” I shook my head feebly as tears clouded my vision.
Ivy straightened and shouted the command furiously. “Rip her apart! I want her dead right now!”
The instant those words left her mouth, the three men rushed toward me like starving beasts descending upon prey, their laughter twisted and disgusting.
“Mommy! Don’t hurt my mommy! Bad people! Go away!”
Ruby’s cries rang through the air, her tiny voice slicing through the chaos.
Every desperate cry of “Mommy” felt like a blade stabbing straight into my heart, leaving me in agony so intense I could hardly draw breath.
Lianne’s POV
“Ivy! You psychopath! You’re absolutely disgusting! Even if you were the last woman alive, Ethan would never choose you!” Tracy hissed.
Watching me trapped and surrounded, her eyes burned red with fury. As she struggled against her restraints, she hurled her words at Ivy like knives.
“Do you really think getting rid of Lianne will make Ethan yours? You’re nothing but a pathetic substitute, an empty shell with nothing worthwhile inside!”
