Broken Oaths (Lisa Davis and David Green) novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10

The projector played scenes of David and Helen together over and over, each repetition deepening Lisa’s pain as David’s suspicions about her pierced her heart.

The projector then showed the latest footage: David cooking for Helen, his dark and menacing expression replaced by a face full of smiles.

His gaze overflowed with tenderness and love for Helen, just as it once had for her.

“Baby Lisa, when can I call you my wife?”

“My sweet Lisa, I love you so much. Please say yes to my proposal.”

“David Green loves Lisa Davis for life. Anyone who dares bully Lisa will answer to me.”

“Wife, I’m an excellent cook. Leave your meals to me. Only you deserve to eat what I make.

Not even my parents!”

“Wife, Helen saved you, which means she saved me too. Since she’s an orphan, let’s take care of her.”

“My feelings for Helen are real. She just wants a lasting marriage, and I can give her that.”

…

David’s words echoed relentlessly in her ears—his promises, his confessions, his lies—each stabbing her eardrums like needles.

The man who loved her in her memories gradually separated from the David on the screen, fading bit by bit from Lisa’s heart.

Night fell completely. She collapsed helplessly onto the floor, letting the cold and darkness consume her.

When consciousness returned, she shifted weakly. Dried blood beneath her smeared into a long trail across the floor.

Her abdomen felt numb. Forcing herself up, she stumbled outside.

Warm sunlight poured down, yet couldn’t thaw her frozen body and spirit.

She finally fainted by the roadside and was rushed to the hospital.

“Miss Davis, your abdomen suffered severe trauma causing uterine rupture. We need surgery to remove the remains.”

Lisa listened without visible emotion. After losing her baby, she’d already accepted she could never conceive again.

So be it…

At least she’d escaped David alive.

Fresh out of surgery, Lisa awoke only to have her mouth gagged and a hood thrown over her head before being dragged before David.

“Helen, she’s here.

After we deal with her, no more sadness.”

David’s gaze softened as he turned back to Helen.

Helen kissed him happily, blinking. “Can I do anything I want?”

“Anything. I’ve got you.”
