Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 675

“Can we please stop pretending? Covering for him without any sense of right and wrong only makes us just as guilty.”

“We’ve already made so many mistakes.”

“He deserved to die. I set that fire, and I don’t regret it at all.”

“I never should have dragged you into this.”

“And yes, I lost control. He should have paid for what he did, but it shouldn’t have been as quick and easy as that.”

“I was ready to go down with him, but there’s still so much out there I haven’t done…”

“Louisa, it’s not too late to see things clearly.”

“I get that now, and you’re still young. You’ll understand one day too.”

Louisa couldn’t stop crying as they helped her into the ambulance.

Bronwen stayed behind, waiting for the next one. She sank down at the base of the old tree in the yard. Only when Louisa was gone did she finally look at Wiona.

“I…”

“Can I talk to you for a minute?”

Wiona stepped closer. “Go ahead.”

Bronwen’s tears fell fast. “I’m sorry, Wiona.”

Wiona didn’t answer. She just looked down at the ground, refusing to meet Bronwen’s eyes. Before everything went wrong, Bronwen had cared for her as much as Cassian ever did. That was why the change in her hurt so much, for so many years.

“You don’t need to say it.”

Wiona had already decided to let it go.

Bronwen shook her head. She had a thousand things to say, but all that came out was, “I’m sorry…”

By now, the villagers were rushing toward the hidden cabin, led by some of the girls. The police had already gotten there, collecting evidence.

Bronwen knew her good name was gone. She couldn’t cover up Wilson’s crimes anymore. She couldn’t lie to herself, pretending everything was fine, clinging to love for a man who never deserved it.

From now on, she would fall from the pedestal everyone put her on. She and Wilson would be blamed by everyone. She’d be hated, pointed at, called an accomplice for protecting her husband.

But this was her own doing. Who could she blame?

“Wiona… can you… can you help me…?”

Bronwen knew she had no right to ask. But now, there was no one else left.

“Just… for the sake of when I was your master?”

Wiona didn’t agree, but she didn’t refuse either. She just tried to comfort her. “Don’t worry too much. The ambulance is almost here.”

Bronwen shook her head, her mouth twisting in pain.

“What if I don’t make it… what if I die…”

“Can I ask you to pass on a few words?”

Wiona frowned a little.

“Your injuries aren’t that bad. You’ll be okay.”
