Reese

After six years of loving Julian Grayson and literally keeping him alive with her rare blood donations, Hazel Ashworth is just three days away from becoming his wife when he calls to cancel their wedding. 
The reason? Her half-sister Ivy has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and her dying wish is to marry Julian instead. Hazel watches in horror as Julian takes her handcrafted wedding dress to Ivy, who plans to wear it while stealing not just Hazel's fiancé, but her entire wedding—same venue, same date, even the same cake flavor. 
It's a devastating replay of their childhood, where Ivy's mother Eleanor destroyed Hazel's family by seducing her father and driving her mother to suicide, then spent years pushing Hazel out while Ivy took everything that was once hers. 
But this time, Hazel refuses to break like her mother did. She demands Julian's entire company and two million dollars as compensation, then shows up at the hospital to deliver Ivy's "wedding gift" in the most explosive way possible.
As Ivy plays the perfect dying victim and Julian remains blind to her manipulation, Hazel begins to suspect that her half-sister's illness might not be as terminal as everyone believes. When Ivy has the audacity to ask Hazel to witness her wedding to Julian, the gloves come off completely. 
Now Hazel must decide how far she's willing to go to expose the truth and reclaim what's rightfully hers, even if it means destroying the man she once loved in the process.

Chapter 111 - Dark Threats and Darker Tactics


Julian's voice crackled through my phone, raw with desperation and fury. "You think you're so clever, Hazel? You think you can just walk away from me and into Sterling's arms?"


I gripped my steering wheel tighter as I navigated through evening traffic. His words were venomous, but I refused to let him hear my fear.


"Our relationship is over, Julian. Has been for months. What I do now is none of your business."


"You stupid, ungrateful bitch!" His voice rose to a near scream. "After everything I did for you! I made you who you are!"


I almost laughed at his delusion. "You made me? I built my career myself while you were busy cheating with my stepsister."


"If I can't have you, neither can he," Julian snarled. "You think I don't have connections? You think I won't destroy everything you've built with Sterling?"


A chill ran down my spine. This wasn't the Julian I'd known for six years. This was someone unhinged, dangerous.
