Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 543

Mia calmed slightly at the familiar voice. Her frantic movements slowed, the pillow she'd meant to throw falling to the floor. She stared at Zachary with wary confusion, her guard dropping only when she finally recognized him.

"Brother?" she tested uncertainly.

The worry in Zachary's eyes softened. "Yes, Mia. It's me, your brother."

He approached slowly, careful not to startle her, gently removing the cup from her left hand.

"Mia, look at my face. I'm your brother."

"Brother?" she murmured, then her expression twisted. "Liar! You want to kill me, don't you? You want to eat me!" The word "eat" seemed to trigger her deepest terrors.

Her face contorted as she crouched down, hugging herself. "Don't eat me, please don't!"

Zachary looked at his sister with pain, cautiously placing a hand on her shoulder. "Don't be scared, Mia. I'm here to protect you."

"You're lying! You said you'd protect us but never came! Sarah was eaten and you never came! You lied to us!" Mia sobbed hysterically.

Zachary's eyes narrowed at her words. "Mia! Sarah's fine. Nobody ate her."

"They did!"

Mia looked at him wildly, yanking up her sleeve and biting her scarred arm hard.

Before Zachary could react, she'd bite down on her own arm.

"Mia!" Zachary's voice turned commanding. "Let go!"

He tried to force her jaw open, but she wouldn't release.

Finally, he had to pry her teeth apart, restraining her. "Mia! Wake up!"

Her horrific words triggered memories of bloody scenes Zachary couldn't forget.

"Miss Sanders."

She turned to see Vivian stepping out of her pink Lamborghini, her eyes gleaming with malice.

Sarah regarded her expressionlessly. "What do you want?"

"Let's talk."

Sarah shook her head. "I'm not interested. We have nothing to discuss, Miss Wilson."

Vivian's smile vanished instantly, her face twisting. "Sarah, you really don't know why I'm here?!"

Sarah's eyes swept over her face briefly. "I'm not interested in guessing."

"Stop going after Zachary. Haven't you learned your lesson?" Vivian's face darkened with rage.
