The Barter Novel Sierra and Xavier

---- He took a step closer, his grin widening.

"You lied to him, Princess.

Fooled him.

Played with his heart.

Do you honestly think hell forgive you for that?" His words sliced through me, reopening wounds I'd tried to bury.

"All he ever wanted was love," Gerald continued, his tone mocking.

"And you taught him just how stupid that dream is." I wanted to argue, to scream at him.But the weight of my own guilt kept the words trapped in my throat.

He was right.

"We'll tell him there were complications," Gerald said nonchalantly, "That we lost you during the procedure.

He'll be sad for a while, I'm sure.

But he'll move on." My body stilled.

Rage floods my insides.

So this is his plan? I lunged at him.

My fingers closed around his collar, shaking with the force of my rage ---- Chapter 514 "You picce of shit," I spat, my voice trembling.

Gerald's expression didnt change.

He didnt fight back, didn't try to push me off.

He just stared at me with those cold, calculating eyes, daring me.

"Go ahead." he said softly, his tone almost bored.

"Kill me, Princess.

And you'll both die.

Your child may be a monster, but I know you still love him." Ihated him for being right And my hands holding his collar trembled.

---- He adjusted his collar as if I were nothing more than a passing annoyance, a weak flicker of rebellion that barely warranted his attention.

But he was wrong.

I wasn't weak.

I wasn't broken.

Not yet.

Not till I seize breathing.

I pressed a hand to my belly, my trembling fingers grazing the fragile life within me.

You're mine, I whispered under my breath, a vow spoken only to my son.

There is no way I will leave my child to the world of these monsters.

I dont know what the child growing in my womb is, but he can never be like these monsters! Never! T won't let him be.

---- Not theirs.

Not his.

Mine.

And I will do everything I can to be in my child's life.

To not die.

To hold him in my hands when he is born.

Wishful thinking Princess.

Go on dreaming.

Because thats all you can do now.

Geralds chuckle grated against my ears, but I didnt let it break me.

Instead, I turned my back on him, and walked away.

Ididn't falter.

I didnt stop.

There is only one way now, Ihave to tell Vince.noveldrama

I have to tell him about Gerald's plan.

But the question remained.
