Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278

He kicked me away with considerable force. My back slammed against the wall, and I screamed in pain.

I looked up tearfully. “Blake darling… even if I lied, it was because I love you!”

I fought for composure. “You know I’ve loved you since I rescued you five years ago. I only pretended to be sick to get more of your attention. What’s wrong with that?”

“Is that so?” Blake interrupted. He crouched beside me. ‘Five years ago, the person who rescued and cared for me

Laurel Rose?”

was it really you,

I froze, breaking into a cold sweat.

Could he know? No, impossible!

I grabbed his arm and met his gaze. “Of course it was me. Who else? Blake darling, five years ago, we

“Five years ago, we never even met!”

He shook off my hand. “You don’t actually think you could deceive me for four years and get away with it forever, do you?”

My face went white.

“Unfortunately, I have a witness,” Blake said, clapping his hands. “Bring out the witness.”

The sound of wheelchair wheels approached.

I watched in horror as a woman’s feet came into view, then her legs, and finally…

Rachel Hayes!

A moving, smiling Rachel Hayes!

She tilted her head. “Long time no see, my dear sister.”

I screamed, my face contorting with terror. “You… you… Rachel Hayes! Are you human or ghost?! Weren’t you dead?”

Then I realized – if Audrey had survived, how could Rachel be dead?

“Laurel,” Rachel’s speech was slow from just regaining consciousness. “You tried three times but never managed to kill me. Disappointed?”

Blake raised an eyebrow. “Three times?”

“Yes,” Rachel continued slowly. “The first time was four years ago. I discovered she was with you because she’d been impersonating my friend. I wanted her to stop deceiving everyone and return Audrey’s identity.”

She stared at me. “She invited me to the roof to talk, claiming she wanted to apologize to me and my friend. That day, she stole my phone and pushed me off the roof.”

Rachel wheeled closer. “Dear sister, remember what you said that day?”

As she approached, I screamed in terror, scrambling backward. “Stay away, stay away!”

Rachel’s face didn’t show an ounce of fear. “You bragged about your perfect plan, remember? How you’d be Blake’s savior and wife no matter what.”

“You figured once I was dead, nobody could stop you. My friend Audrey wouldn’t matter. So you shoved me off that rooftop.”

“But surprise I didn’t die.” She tapped her fingers on the wheelchair armrest. “Hit some branches on the way down. Broke my fall.”

“Second try was in that basement at Twilight,” Rachel continued, her speech still slow but deliberate. “Thought I might wake up and tell everyone the truth, right? Wanted to finish what you started.”

“Mom walked in just in time.”

“Third attempt?” She shrugged. “The car crash last week. Bet you didn’t expect Audrey to jump out and save us both.”

Rachel looked down at me from her wheelchair. “Got evidence of all three tries, by the way. Hope you like prison food.”
