I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 796

I froze for a moment, instinctively denying it. "I don't! I have no feelings for Steven!"

Horace scoffed. "No feelings? Then why are you living in his house? You even have a child together!"

Hearing Horace's accusation felt like a plunge into icy water. He was blaming me again.

"That's enough, Horace! Can't you see you're the one in the wrong?" I shouted, furious.

His eyes were red as he stared at me without blinking.

"I was wrong," he admitted, "but my mistake was the timing. I should have drugged you after you went abroad. Then you would never have met Steven, and I would be the one you love."

Hearing this, my disappointment in Horace turned to despair. I couldn't understand how someone once so good could become... this.

Horace looked at me, his eyes filled with a stubborn obsession.

"Zephyra, you know nothing good will come from this entanglement. In the story, we're the ones who are supposed to be together. You should be with me."

The story?

I felt a visceral revulsion. It was one thing for Verna to keep bringing it up, but I never thought Horace would believe it too.

So, in his eyes, I was just the villainess.

Suddenly, I felt that something between Horace and me had irrevocably changed. I'd always thought of him as family, but now, it was as if he had abandoned me.
