When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 434

Chapter 434 Not His Baby
As Zachary walked away, he heard the room echo with Stella's anguished screams.

Stella had lost track of time, but finally, Zachary's men ceased their torment. Stella was left lying in a pool of her own blood. Her body was covered in wounds, and her eyes were hollow, devoid of any light.

She felt a deep sense of injustice. Why do all good things happen to Cecilia? Why don't I deserve some good things too?

In her injured state, Stella could do nothing but lie motionless on the ground.

Zachary's men had not dealt a fatal blow. After all, they only intended to torture her.

She spent the rest of her day in a painful daze.

She had no idea how much time had passed. Just as she was on the verge of passing out, the door was yanked open again.

Stella instinctively started begging, “I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made a mistake...”

From her position on the floor, she watched as a pair of men's polished leather shoes steadily advanced toward her.

Stella got to her knees. She did not dare to meet his eyes. “Zach, I won't do it again. I'm begging for your forgiveness.”

“Stella, it's me,” said the man standing before her. His voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Stella paused and lifted her eyes to his face. “Nathaniel, aren't you-”

Before she could finish her sentence, the man interrupted her and said, “My name is Nicholas, not Nathaniel. We've met before.”

Back then, Stella had mistaken him for Nathaniel.

Only then did Stella notice that the man standing before her gave off a completely different vibe from Nathaniel.

“Are you Nathaniel's twin brother?”

“Yes.”

“What do you want from me?”

She was afraid that Nicholas had come to punish her on Cecilia's behalf.

“I want to make a deal with you.” Nicholas had a smooth, silky voice.

Stella was instinctively scared of him. She sensed that beneath his gentle demeanor lay something to be feared.
