Chapter 194 David , You Monster ! 63 % Finished Alice screamed at the top of her lungs , her voice raw with grief .
What did I do wrong ? Why would you do this to me ? Did thirty years of love mean nothing to you ? David was helpless.
His leg , still recovering from when Josh broke it for the second time , left him completely vulnerable .
He could barely shield himself as Alice came at him with everything she had .
There was no fight in him just desperate defense .
He waved his arms weakly , trying to block her hits .
Alice , stop it ! he yelled , over and over , panic rising .
But she wasnt listening .
She couldnt .
Her rage had taken over .
She lunged at his throat and locked both hands around it , her fingers pressing in so hard her knuckles looked like bone .
You dont deserve to live .
Youre a demon .
I will kill you ! she shouted , her eyes blazing with hate so deep it looked like it could eat her alive .
David gasped and grabbed at her hands , trying to tear them away , but her grip was like steel .
She wouldnt let go .
His eyes rolled back into his head , showing only white .
His tongue slipped out of his mouth , and his whole face twisted in panic and pain .
He flailed wildly , reaching for anything , as his body thrashed across the bed .
His legs kicked and twitched from the pain and lack of oxygen .
The sheets were torn and rumpled beneath him , yanked into chaos by his flailing limbs .
Outside the hospital room , Lauren stood still , watching the chaos inside through the glass .
Her expression was icy and unreadable .
She used to think Alice was someone whod quietly endure betrayal .
A woman with too much grace to lash out .
Someone who forgave , even when she shouldnt .
But this this raw , unhinged retaliation told a different story .
Alice wasnt passive .
She wasnt calm .
Not when everything she believed in had been ripped away .
She had finally snapped .
Lauren let out a silent , bitter laugh .
No one really feels pain until it hits home .
Until then , they dont understand .
They dont care .
Her face remained cool , with just a hint of irony in her expression .
Well , I didnt feel bad .
Not at all .
She stood there like a stranger , as if what was happening on the other side of the glass had nothing to do with her .
Alice had never lacked comfort .
Shed always had money , security , and ease .
What she truly craved what she held dearest was love .
Genuine , pure love .
But in just a flash , that love had been ripped away .
Everything she cared about was gone , and it broke her .
Now she was consumed by rage .
Her fingers locked tight around Davids neck like a vise , refusing to let go .
Like she needed to feel him slip away to make up for everything hed taken from her .
David was seconds from blacking out , flailing helplessly as Alice choked the life out of him .
His right hand scrambled blindly over the bed and knocked against something solid his fingers wrapped around tha handle of a fruit knife tucked inside the hacket on the nightstand Sun , 30 Mar Chapter 194 David , You Monster ! 63 % Finished There was no time to think .
Driven by panic and instinct , he lashed out with the blade and plunged it into her .
The sickening sound of the knife piercing flesh filled the air .
Alice let out a scream that could split glass .
It wasnt just pain it was devastation , pure and primal .
The sound could stop hearts .
Her grip loosened immediately , and she collapsed backward , her body folding from the shock .
Blood sprayed into the air and splashed across Davids face .
The heat of it jolted him back into reality , pulling him from the brink of death .
He sucked in air like a drowning man , chest heaving , lungs desperate for oxygen .
But then he saw her .
The knife had sunk deep into her left eye .
Blood spilled through her fingers as she held her face , coating her hands and dripping steadily to the floor until it formed a growing , gruesome pool .
Alice rolled on the ground in agony , her body twisted with pain , her screams bouncing off the walls of the hospital room .
The sound was chilling unnatural like something ripped from a nightmare .
David looked down at Alice , his hands shaking , eyes wide with fear .
I I didnt mean to .
You were choking me .
It was self defense , he stammered , trying to convince himself more than anyone else .
For a second , he was frozen , overwhelmed and uncertain .
But then logic kicked in or at least , what he told himself was logic .
Were married .
Its not like I killed her .
All I did was blind her in one eye .
The laws not going to do much just chalk it up to a domestic dispute , maybe a slap on the wrist and some counseling .
Thats it .
With that thought , his fear vanished .
In its place was ice cold composure .
He grabbed his phone and called Sharon .
Hey , Sharon .
Get up here .
Alice found out about us .
She tried to kill me .
I stabbed her in the eye .
Bring someone and clean this up I dont want her stinking up my room , he said , disgust dripping from every word .
Alice , still writhing in pain , heard him loud and clear .
Her good eye locked on him , blazing with fury .
Her voice came out rough , heavy with hate .
David , youll die a miserable death .
David threw his head back and laughed loud , arrogant , cruel .
His laughter filled the room like poison .
You think I kept you alive out of love ? No.
I just wanted the last of your shares .
Thats it .
If it werent for that , youd have been dead a long time ago .
