SWNOVELS Chapter 552
Chapter 552 Imagine It Never Happened. (Beatrice dismay)
I was looking around like crazy, also anticipating seeing Akin alive again. My body was much weaker than ever. But still enough
to knock down anyone who tried to get close to me.
However, from the looks of it, the people of hell seemed distracted.
Just as people are when their King dies.
I finally made my way to the servants’ rooms, as Ace felt a strange energy from there.
I had no idea what I was going to find there until I heard Zane’s voice. “Stop laughing at me,” he shouted, making my heart skip a
beat.
It didn’t sound normal. I rushed into the room and gasped to see Zane holding a dagger on Evelyn.
“Zane, no! As soon as I shouted, he turned around and looked at me. Beatriz! He said my name, and then all the expressions
invaded his face.
“Ah, Beatrice!” she let out a deep sigh before she started crying.
“Look! Please download it. She’s just a child,” I insisted, getting anxious about the dagger.
“But then I will lose,” he pronounced, “I have already lost it,” as he collapsed. I felt goosebumps cover my skin.
“Maura ended her life,” the revelation even took me by surprise.
I covered my mouth with my hands and closed my eyes to let the tears fall freely.
“I have nothing left but to cause the chaos I loved so much,” she cried. I realized that he was finally regretting the choices he had
made over the years.
But that didn’t mean he wouldn’t do it again. He was here, holding the dagger over a baby whose mother he also killed a few
weeks ago.
“Zane! But that doesn’t mean you have to go that far. Look at his face. Doesn’t it remind you of Maddox? I said, trying to take a
step closer to him.
“So, she has to die,” he didn’t want to understand anything. He was trembling miserably. I’m sure now that Muara is dead, he
couldn’t beat us either.
“Look! Look at me,” I demanded, and he raised his head to look at me. “I think you need love,” she was taking slow, steady steps
near him.
His posture trembled when he heard that from me.
“But who will love me now? I have so many flaws,” he groaned like a child, making me remember all the good times with him.
“Why didn’t anyone stop me from becoming this evil? Why did you feed me a child? She burst into tears, but the dagger kept
hanging over Evelyn.
“You can still be a better person,” I murmured. “I will give you love,” my words made me suddenly stop crying. Even his hands
were shaking. I realized I was being affected.
“All you have to do is give me that dagger and surrender,” I pulled my hand out to him and watched him stare at it. “Don’t! I know
you won’t love me,” he murmured, shaking his head.
Don’t you trust me, Zane? I asked, watching him melt from the soft tone he was using.
He looked at my hand and then firmly placed the dagger in it, rushing into my arms.
“I didn’t want to be a bad person, but I was bad. I had no choice, like all of you. I wish I could go back in time and be a better
person,” she began to moan as she hugged me.
“I wasn’t a bad person before; You remember it, right? He kept talking, and I kept crying.
“You can still be. All you have to do is let me grab Evelyn and get out of here with her. I was making sure I didn’t provoke him and
make him angry, but I guess he was too gone.
“Don’t! She has to die,” he repeated to himself, and when he tried to walk away, I closed my eyes and let out a sigh.
“Ah!” A small cry from his lips was a sign that I hit the right place.
I leaned back and let the dagger dig into his chest. He lowered his head and then looked at my face, stunned.
“Isn’t it lovely?” He uttered, constantly falling on his knees, “This one over here was the reason behind my madness for you, and
you stabbed him today,” he pointed to his heart, gurgling blood and trembling.
You’ve ruined everything, Zane. There was nothing to stop you,” I said as I watched him get on all fours and cough up blood.
“I know,” he replied, and the way he calmly raised his head sent chills down my spine.
He didn’t want to kill her. After you hugged me, I didn’t want to kill her,” he said confidently, making me frown at her statement.
“But you...” Before I could speak, he interrupted me.
“I knew you would never accept me. He knew he had lost the war. But I wanted the one to kill me to be you! You were the reason
I decided to embrace the darkness. I wanted to be better than my brother’s. Then, it should be you, with my blood on your
hands,” he smiled, making me realize that even in his last moments, he played with me.
He just didn’t want to leave without causing distress.
“Alas! It’s finally so calm,” he said, leaning back on the floor with his arms outstretched and smiling, staring at the ceiling.
“I have to go to sleep now because my brothers will wake me up early to find. Maddox. He leaves the house to take drugs, we
must find him and bring him hommmmeee-“, his eyes remained fixed on one point before taking his last breath.
I stepped back and then hugged myself, looking at his corpse lying there.
No more teasing.
No more teasing.
He wasn’t smiling anymore.
He wasn’t making threats.
He was finally dead, and I had killed him.
When I started taking steps back, I bumped into someone.
Beatriz! Akin’s soft voice as Helel ran past me to carry her daughter shook me from the terrifying memory of Zane taking his last
breath.
I turned around and hugged Akin without even uttering a word.
