Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 697:

“What did you just say?”

Linden wiped a smear of drool from his mouth, a crooked smile spreading across his face.

“Sweetheart, wasn’t it your idea? Spend a night with me in exchange, and I’ll take Cedric out for you. Relax, once it’s done—even if it costs me my life—I’ll make sure Cedric is gone for good.”

Nina stared at him, frozen in shock. Her voice came out barely above a whisper.

“Kill Cedric?”

Before she could process the horror of his words, Linden surged forward, forcing her onto the mattress beneath his weight. Hot tears streamed down her cheeks, blurring her vision.

Kill Cedric.

The words echoed in her head like a relentless drumbeat.

Natalie and Elyse had used her innocence as a pawn, trading it for Linden’s promise to eliminate Cedric.

How could they expect her to agree to such a vile scheme?

Desperation ignited within her, and she thrashed wildly against him, a single thought burning in her mind—she had to destroy everyone who had brought her to this moment.noveldrama

But Nina’s small frame was no match for Linden’s brute strength.

He easily overpowered her, pressing her into the bed with a sadistic grin. He flipped her onto her stomach, forcing her into a humiliating position.

“Linden!” she screamed, her voice raw with terror and fury.

“Let me go! Look at me—look who I am!”

Linden’s lips pressed against Nina’s back, his laughter dripping with cruel arrogance.

“Of course, I know who you are—you’re my precious Natalie.”

Nina twisted against his grasp, her strength ebbing as despair consumed her.

His weight crushed her resolve, leaving her drained and motionless. She shut her eyes tightly, hot tears slipping down her cheeks, tracing silent paths of anguish.

Agony.

Her voice broke unexpectedly, raw and desperate.

“Daniela!”

She squeezed her eyes shut, bracing herself for the inevitable as Linden’s movements became more deliberate.

Her heart sank into a void of betrayal, her spirit utterly shattered.

In that moment, she wished for nothing more than an escape, even if it meant death.

A sudden, jarring sound shattered the suffocating tension in the room.

Linden’s heavy body slumped against her, unmoving.

Nina froze beneath his dead weight, her breath caught in her throat.

She didn’t dare to shift, her ears straining against the eerie silence that had replaced the heated chaos.

Slowly, she cracked her eyes open and glimpsed Linden lying unconscious, sprawled across her.

It took her a moment to register what had happened.
