Chapter 313 Setup
Mathilda had been sure John would’ve already gotten rid of the baby growing inside Lily. But the moment she saw her–looking healthy and steady on her feet–she knew the baby was still there.
Fine. Then she’d have to let her brothers step in and make sure that baby was gone.
James was hers. And there was no way she was going to let some cheap knockoff like Lily carry his baby to
term.
She stepped forward and blocked Lily’s path, mping a hand tight around her wrist to keep her from leaving.
Once she was certain Lily didn’t have her phone on her–or any kind of hidden mic or camera–Mathilda smiled, wide and fake.
“Well, well. Lily. What are the odds, huh?” Her voice was all fake sweetness, masking something darker underneath. “Bodger, Jonah, and Sean are on their way too. What do you think they’ll do when I tell them you shoved me into the rocks and gave me a head injury? Think they’ll toss you in right after and see how you handle it?” Mathilda was a little shorter than Lily, but she leaned in close, her mouth just inches from Lily’s ear, her voice dropping to a venomous whisper. “Imagine your stomach mming into those rocks. You <i>really </i>think that baby would make it? You should never use your cheap tricks to get pregnant with James’s child. I’m the only one worthy of giving him a family. But don’t worry–I’ll do the world a favor and send that thing off today.”
Then, without warning, she spun around, clenched her jaw, and hurled herself straight into the rock wall. She’d already made sure the security cameras were taken out ahead of time. No footage. No proof.
This time, Lily wouldn’t be able to exin her way out of it. Her brothers would lose it when they saw Mathilda bleeding.
And once they did, that baby inside Lily? It didn’t stand a chance.
Mathilda never hesitated when it came to getting what she wanted. Even if it meant taking someone else down with her.
She mmed into the rocks with her full weight. Blood poured from her head instantly. The sight was brutal.
She let herself crumple to the ground, limp and shaking, then cried out, her voice weak and trembling. “Bodger… Sean… Jonah… Help me… it hurts…”
Lily had been running for so long that she could barely breathe. Her whole body was aching, and her stomach felt tight and ufortable. When Mathilda grabbed her wrist, she couldn’t break free fast enough.
Now that she was loose, there was only one

But she <b>didn’t </b>make it far. She’d only taken a <b>few </b><b>steps </b>before the three Ginger brothers came rushing up, <b>blocking </b><b>her </b><b>path </b>like a damn <b>brick </b>wall.

“Lily, what happened to your neck?” Sean’s eyes locked on the fresh cuts across her throat. Blood was still seeping from the scratches, and his face turned grim. “Come on,” he said, stepping forward. “Let me clean that up at my ce.”
His new house was just around the corner in the same neighborhood.
As he reached for her wrist, intent on taking her there, Mathilda’s voice cut through the air–bitter and broken.
“Sean…” Her face twisted with rage and disbelief.
She’d just smashed herself into a rock wall for this–for them to turn on Lily, to make her pay. The whole point was for her brothers to explode on Lily–hurt her, make her lose the baby.
She couldn’t believe it–there she was, copsed on the ground, weak and shaking, looking helpless and broken… and instead of rushing to her side, her brothers were too busy staring at the scratches on Lily’s neck.
Mathilda choked down the fury and turned up the tears, her voice barely above a whisper. “Bodger… Jonah… It really hurts…. I can’t move…”
It wasn’t until Mathilda started crying out in pain, sounding weak and barely hanging on, that the three Ginger brothers finally looked away from Lily’s neck and turned their attention to her.
“Mathilda!<b>” </b>
Blood streamed from her temple. Cuts ran along her arms, her legs, and her hands. Her clothes were torn and stained. Shey crumpled beneath the rock wall, fragile and broken.
Her injuries were clearly much worse than Lily’s.
And just like that, their focus shifted.
The second they saw how bad she looked, they stopped paying attention to Lily and rushed over, kneeling beside her to check her injuries.
“It hurts… It hurts so bad…” Mathilda whimpered, catching the glint of worry in their eyes. <i>Perfect</i><i>. </i>Her n was working. She held back a smile, smothered the rush of satisfaction in her chest, and let her voice turn soft and shaky. “I don’t even know what I did wrong… I just wanted to say hi. But Lily started screaming at me… told me to die… And before I knew it, she shoved me into the rocks…” Her voice cracked. “God, it hurts…”
“What did you say?<i>” </i>
The moment Mathilda said that, the concern in the Ginger brothers‘ eyes vanished–reced instantly by pure, burning rage.
Lily had supposedly hurt Mathilda again. And now she was trying to run?
Without warning, he stormed toward her, grabbed her roughly, and dragged her back toward the rock pile. His eyes were wild, his voice thick with rage. “You did this to Mathilda? You really put your hands on her again?” Who the hell do you think you are? You don’t get to walk away from this. You deserve everything that’sing”

“I didn’t touch her!” Lily snapped.

Being dragged into this drama again–surrounded by these lunatics–was enough to make her want to
scream.
Her chest rose and fell with rage, and she red at them, refusing to waste another breath arguing with the
insane.
