Chapter 95 Betrayed By Blood

• Celine POV
• The hospital’s sterile corridors were a maze of harsh light and muted sounds, a fitting stage for the obsession that had consumed me since dawn. I’d spent the morning trailing Jeremy, my silver sedan a shadow behind his truck, my sunglasses shielding the manic glint in my eyes as I followed him through the city’s arteries. He hadn’t noticed me, hadn’t sensed the predator stalking his every move, and that thrilled me, a dark satisfaction that fueled my resolve. Jeremy was mine—my fiancé, my future, the man I’d molded into my perfect partner, the one I loved with a ferocity that burned through reason. I’d follow him to the ends of the earth to find the woman who dared to steal his heart, the one he’d confessed to loving, the one who wasn’t Bonnie. My mistake with Bonnie’s accident had been a costly lesson, but I wouldn’t falter again. Jeremy would lead me to her, and I’d crush her, reclaim what was mine.
• I slipped into the hospital, my heels silent on the linoleum, my black dress a sleek armor that cloaked my intentions. Bonnie was here, recovering from the crash I’d orchestrated, a misstep that still stung, but my focus was Jeremy now, his movements a beacon guiding me to the truth. I kept to the shadows, ducking behind corners, my breath shallow as I tracked him through the bustling corridors, the air thick with the scent of antiseptic and despair. Nurses and visitors passed, their voices a dull hum, but my eyes were locked on Jeremy’s broad silhouette, his familiar stride a magnet pulling me closer, even as my heart pounded with the need to stay unseen.
