The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1489

Sammie opened his eyes. "I know she'll hate me."

"I know she will never forgive me for the rest of her life."

"I know that in her eyes, I'm just a psycho, a freak, a twisted jailer."

"It doesn't matter."

"She can hate me, she can curse me, she can ignore me until the day she dies."

Sammie took a deep breath. "At least she's alive."

"At least she's safe."

"As long as she is safe and sound right here beside me, I'll gladly take a lifetime of her hatred."

The study went completely dead quiet.

Alex looked at the man sitting across from him, entirely at a loss for words.

He had walked in assuming Sammie was acting out of obsession, possessiveness, and jealousy.

But he never expected the driving force behind this madness to be something so brutally tragic.

To trade his own reputation and her lifelong freedom just to keep her alive.

It was a devastating, lose-lose kind of devotion.

"Have you ever considered," Alex asked softly, "that she might rather die than be kept in your cage forever?"

Sammie went entirely rigid.

That sentence was a blade plunged straight into his heart.

He had considered it.

On countless restless nights, he had stood outside her door listening to the dead silence, haunted by that exact thought.

She was so proud, so brilliant. She was an eagle born to own the sky.

And he had shoved that eagle into a cage. He gave her the best food and a warm nest, but he had viciously clipped her wings.

For someone like her, that was a fate far worse than death.

"I know." Sammie's voice shook slightly, but he still wouldn't back down. "But I still can't let her go."

"As long as she's alive, there's a chance for something else."

"If she's dead, it's all over."
