Chapter 388
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 388<\/p>\n
Silas casually dragged a rusted folding chair over, planted it directly in front of Stella, and brushed a speck of imaginary dust off his tailored cuff. He offered her a wide, sickeningly warm smile.<\/p>\n
“Stella, it hasn’t even been that long, but look at you\u2014you’ve lost so much weight. Is it because Jarrod threw you out like trash, or because your daddy finally croaked?”<\/p>\n
Silas’s tone was incredibly conversational, but his words were precision-guided missiles designed to mentally break her!<\/p>\n
Stella refused to give him the satisfaction of a reaction. Forcing her voice to remain dead level, she asked, “Silas, what exactly are you trying to accomplish by dragging us out here?”<\/p>\n
Silas kept the unnerving smile plastered on his face. “What am I trying to accomplish? I’m just waiting for that little bastard Jarrod to come dig his own grave.”<\/p>\n
Even though she had already deduced his endgame, hearing Silas confirm it sent a violent chill racing down Stella’s spine.<\/p>\n
“Silas, wasn’t Jarrod lost at sea with Arthur Sr.? How is he supposed to show up?” Stella forced herself to speak, though a slight tremor betrayed her terror. “Besides, Jarrod and I finalized our divorce months ago. Using me as bait is completely pointless…”<\/p>\n
The smile never left Silas’s face as he reached out, his fingers digging into Stella’s jaw, forcing her to look at him. “With a face this stunning, I find it hard to believe a man would just forget about you. But it doesn’t matter. I already sent the coordinates to Jarrod. Once he walks through those doors, we’ll find out exactly how valuable you really are!”<\/p>\n
Stella’s heart plummeted. Silas was entirely convinced that Jarrod was the mastermind orchestrating his recent downfall. By kidnapping both her and Yvette, he was forcing Jarrod out of the shadows for a final standoff.<\/p>\n
Just then, one of the thugs rushed into the warehouse and whispered something urgently into Silas’s ear. Silas released Stella’s jaw, a manic gleam of absolute triumph igniting in his eyes. “I knew that little bastard would show up!”<\/p>\n
“Bring him in. And sweep the perimeter\u2014make sure he didn’t bring the cops! Shoot anyone who gets within fifty feet of this building!”<\/p>\n
The thug bolted to execute the orders. Silas then barked at the man guarding Yvette to wake her up.<\/p>\n
The guard grabbed a bucket of murky water and violently splashed it directly into Yvette’s face. She jolted awake, gasping and sputtering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3676","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
