Later, after blocking every number he used to call her, she turned off her phone. He couldn’t hear her voice at all.
Eyes red–rimmed, he stood outside the Luke mansion for what felt like forever. It wasn’t until deep into the night that he finally drove back to his own vi, looking like a soulless shell of himself.
When she left, she took everything with her.
<i>There </i>was <i>barely </i><i>a </i><i>trace </i><i>of </i><i>her </i><i>left </i><i>in </i><i>the </i><i>house </i><i>that </i><i>once </i><i>held </i><i>so </i><i>many </i><i>sweet </i><i>memories </i><i>of </i><i>us</i>. <i>The </i><i>vi </i><i>felt </i><i>empty</i><i>, </i>hollow, <i>like </i><i>our </i><i>love </i>had <i>never </i><i>existed</i>.
<i>Her </i>room <i>was </i><i>stripped </i><i>clean</i><i>. </i><i>The </i><i>cold </i>emptiness <i>made </i><i>me </i><i>feel </i><i>utterly </i><i>hopeless</i>.
<i>I </i>knew alcohol wouldn’t <i>make </i><i>me </i><i>feel </i><i>better</i><i>. </i>
<i>But </i>the <i>pain </i>in <i>my </i><i>chest </i><i>was </i><b><i>too </i></b><i>much </i><i>to </i><i>bear</i>.
Even saying <i>“</i><i>the </i><i>knife </i><i>is </i>pricking <i>my </i><i>heart</i>” <i>wouldn’t </i><ie </i><b><i>close </i></b><i>to </i><i>describing </i><i>this </i><i>agony</i><i>. </i>
I was <i>barely </i>holding on<i>. </i><i>The </i><i>only </i>way <i>to </i><i>numb </i><i>myself </i><i>was </i><i>to </i>drown <i>in </i><i>one </i><i>bottle </i><i>after </i><i>another</i>.
After the fifth bottle of whiskey, he finally passed out, half–conscious, and escaped the hellish heartbreak for a little while…
John…<b>” </b>
Mary refused to let Simon take Elsa back to the Bale family’s estate for the holidays.
And Wendy was already behind bars.
<b>Elsa </b>would’ve wanted nothing more than to spend New Year’s Eve with John this year.
<b>But </b>John turned her down.
<b>She </b><b>knew </b>exactly why<i>–</i><i>he </i><i>wanted </i><i>to </i><i>spend </i><i>the </i><i>night </i>with <i>Lily</i>.
<b>The </b>thought that he and Lily might be rekindling old mes tormented her. She couldn’t <b>sit </b>still. She tried <b>calling</b><b>, </b><b>but </b><b>he </b>didn’t pick up. The pain of waiting was unbearable, so she drove to his vi in the middle of the <b>night</b>.
<b>She </b><b>knew </b><b>the </b><b>passcode </b><b>to </b>the gate and made <b>her </b>way to the main building <b>easily</b>.
But his <b>bedroom </b>was <b>empty</b>.
The <b>door </b><b>to </b><b>the </b><b>guest </b><b>room</b><b>, </b>the <b>one </b>Lily <b>used </b><b>to </b><b>stay </b><b>in</b><b>, </b><b>was </b><b>slightly </b><b>ajar</b><b>. </b><b>Her </b><b>face </b><b>went </b>pale, <b>but </b>still, she smushed the door open.

Chapter 301 Out of Control
But all she got was a strong stench of alcohol and him, lying alone.
Sering the empty bottles scattered on the floor, she was shocked at first. But then a twisted sort of joy bloomed in her chest.
Five bottles. That was way more than he <i>usually </i><i>drank</i>. He <i>had </i><i>to </i>be totally unconscious by now this is my golden chance to finally seal the <i>deal </i>with him.
Without wasting a second, she shrugged off her coat and climbed into bed, trying to undo his robe.
“Lily…”
Her movements stirred him.
But his eyelids were too heavy. He didn’t open his eyes. Instead, he just pulled her into his arms in a daze.
The man who was usually so cold and imprable now looked fragile–lost.
He held her tighter and buried his face in the crook of her neck, like a puppy afraid of being abandoned. His voice was hoarse and shaky, thick with fear and desperation.
“Don’t fall for someone else…
You promised you’d only love me, John… You can’t break that promise…
Lily, please don’t leave me…
I can’t… I can’t live without you…”
He clung to her like a lifeline, whispering Lily’s name over and over.
Hearing that broken, pleading voice tore Elsa apart. Her heart ached and she hated Lily to the core.
<i>I </i>thought I was good <i>enough </i>to <i>take </i><i>John </i><i>back </i><i>easily </i><i>when </i>I <i>returned</i><i>. </i>
<i>I </i><i>even </i>faked having <i>terminal </i><i>cancer </i><i>just </i><i>to </i><i>keep </i><i>him </i><i>around</i><i>, </i><i>to </i>win <i>him </i><i>back</i><i>. </i>
And yet<i>, </i><i>the </i><i>only </i><i>person </i><i>in </i><i>his </i><i>heart </i><i>is </i><i>still </i><i>that </i><i>worthless </i><i>bitch</i><i>, </i>Lily?
That lowlife doesn’t <i>deserve </i><i>him</i><i>. </i>
<i>Tonight</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>have </i><i>to </i><i>make </i><i>him </i><i>mine</i><i>. </i>
I <i>have </i><i>to </i><i>get </i><i>pregnant </i><i>with </i>his <i>baby</i>.
<i>Once </i><i>he </i><i>tastes </i><i>this</i>, <i>he’ll </i><i>never </i><i>be </i><i>able </i><i>to </i><i>live </i><i>without </i><i>me</i><i>. </i><i>He’ll </i><i>belong </i><i>to </i><i>me </i><i>forever</i>.
“John, kiss me.”
Elsa tilted her chin and reached into his robe, her touch soft and seductive.
“You’re not Lily…”

He was too drunk to open his eyes, but as he buried his face in her body, something felt off.
Lily always smelled like a soft breeze–his favorite scent.
But this woman reeked of heavy perfume.
In a sh, he shoved her away with brutal force.
“You’re not her… Get out! Don’t touch me! Stay the hell away from me!”
He was strong. Too strong. Elsa didn’t see iting–she was thrown right off the bed.

Shended on the floor, her face pale as paper. Her usually charming eyes were wide with disbelief.
She couldn’t believe it. The man who used to treat her like a precious gem, who feared even making her ufortable–he had just thrown her down like trash.
She sat on the floor, aching all over, humiliated beyond words.
