Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine Read Online Free

Chapter 816: He had always seen Verruckt as cold, like a machine that lacked any trace of humanity.

But when it came to Alice, something about him shifted.

There was a strange possessiveness there.

Mr.

Shaw, if we dont make it out of here alive tonight, then AliceI Before Jareth could finish, Verruckt cut him off.

We will win tonight.

Verruckt spoke with unwavering confidence.

Even if, by some miracle, we lose, someone else will bring Alice back to the research institute.

Jareth frowned, his confusion deepening.

But that place would be even more dangerous then.

If Verruckt truly cared about her, hed send her as far away as possible.

There was no denying it nowVerruckt wasnt like other people.

His blood-red eyes were ice-cold, sharp, and full of calculation.

Of course, Verruckt continued, his tone disturbingly calm.

Because Ill trigger the labs self-destruct system.

By then, the laband Alicewill follow us straight to hell.

Jareth froze, his words strangled in his throat.

What… His eyes widened in disbelief.

Had he misheard? Hed thought Verruckt cared about Alice.

But nohe was wrong.

Verruckt was the kind of madman who would drag everyone down with him.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????????????????????.???????????? Dont you like Alice? Jareth asked, the words slipping out before he could stop himself.

He clamped his mouth shut immediately.

Damn.

He shouldnt have said that.

To his surprise, Verruckt didnt seem the least bit bothered.

How could I possibly like Alice? Verruckt replied, the word like dripping with mockery, as if it was a joke.

To him, whatever he felt for her wasnt affectionit was something darker.

He thought that it was just a possessive impulse he couldnt shake.

Feelings aside, one thing is certain.

Ill keep her with me.

Always.

Jareth didnt respond.

He suspected Verruckt didnt realize it himself.

This warped possessiveness might actually be lovea love so twisted that it bred his need to control her completely.

Mr.

Shaw, lets be honest.

The odds of tonights plan working are slim.

If Alice couldnt convince Mrs.

Blake, we really might die here.

Jareth still struggled to accept that his life now depended on a female employee.

If that happens, the Immortality Group will take control of everything in the lab.

Destroying it does make sense.

Verruckt pressed down on his bleeding wound, saying, Its not just the test subjects.

The staff will end up in their hands too.

You know whatll happen nextdissection on some cold table by their researchers.

His face was lost in shadow, leaving his expression impossible to read.
