Chapter 1083

Evan’s head was pounding.

He genuinely wished he could sew Amos’s mouth shut.

But Amos kept going.

“The way you’re panicking now looks completely hypocritical to me.”

Evan went still.

The word hypocritical tightened painfully around his heart.

Amos thought he was a hypocrite.

Then what did Stella think of him?

She must have thought the same.

Every time he lost her, he suddenly remembered how desperately he wanted her back.

How could Stella see that as anything but hypocrisy?

The pressure in Evan’s chest grew heavier.

“You’re right. In her eyes, I’m nothing but a hypocrite. She’ll never forgive me.”

What had happened in Harbor City had already made forgiveness impossible.

And now this had happened too.

“You’ve probably lost her for good this time,” Amos said. “Even if you bring her back, her heart won’t belong to you.”

He paused before adding mercilessly, “That’s assuming she survives Silas long enough for you to find her.”

Amos knew exactly where to strike.

Every word drove deeper into Evan’s heart.

Before Evan could respond, Amos continued.

“And the chances of that are slim.”

“Silas hasn’t contacted you with any demands. I doubt Aaron has heard from him either.”

If Aaron had received a call from Silas, he would not have taken this long to realize what had happened.

That meant Silas had no intention of using Stella to demand money, power, or anything else from them.

The most dangerous enemy was one who wanted nothing.

Evan’s expression darkened further.

“Has Stella contacted Ivy at all?” he asked.

He was clinging to the last sliver of hope he had left.

Stella and Ivy had gotten along well while she was in Seaborne.

1/3

He hoped Stella might somehow have reached out to her.

Algos rolled his eyes.

“What exactly are you hoping for? Do you hear how unrealistic you sound?”

“You think Stella could contact Ivy while Silas is holding her?”

At least ask a question that made sense.

As far as Amos was concerned, Evan was no longer thinking clearly at all.

Evan said nothing.

The pain in his chest deepened.

“Stop holding on to hope. This time, she’s probably…”

“Enough!”

Before Amos could drive the knife any deeper, Evan cut him off sharply.

He did not want to hear the rest.

He refused to hear those words.

He kept telling himself that Stella would not die.

She was too intelligent and too calculating.

She would find a way to survive until he reached her.

He had promised to bring her back.

So she had to hold on and wait for him.

Amos watched the agony deepen across Evan’s face and gave a cold laugh.

“She’s probably already dead. There may not even be anything left for us to find when we get there.”

Evan turned toward him, his eyes bloodshot.

Amos was doing it deliberately.

He wanted Evan to remember this panic, fear, and suffocating helplessness for the rest of his life.

Because Evan had brought every bit of it on himself.

Amos had long understood that Stella mattered deeply to Evan

But at the same time, she was also the person Evan believed he could sacrifice whenever necessary.

Again and again, Evan had chosen to give her up.

“Say one more word and I’ll have your mouth sewn shut!” Evan snarled.

He had finally lost his temper completely.

“I’m only making sure you’re prepared for the worst,” Amos replied.
