?<strong>Chapter 842:</strong>


    The boy was no older than Elma.


    He was unlikely to have such means.


    ‘Heat.’ Kallie’s voice was a weak whimper, her eyes filled with tears and her breathingbored.


    Seeing Kallie in that state stirred something deep in yton.


    With his fists clenched at his sides, he struggled to keep hisposure and asked, ‘Kallie, do you recognize me?’


    Kallie seemed to understand what he was asking.


    Struggling, she raised her head to look around more intently.


    Her vision was blurred, shapes and colours merging into a blurred dusk.


    Overwhelmed by the most primal instincts, the air around her felt unbearably warm.


    Suddenly, for reasons she couldn’t understand, Kallie felt herself craving Jake.


    It was a new sensation.


    She had never felt like this with him before.


    Weakly, Kallie tried to push yton away, whispering in a raspy voice, ‘You’re not Jake.


    I want Jake.’


    These words destroyed any vestige of reason in yton.


    The veins in his forehead throbbed visibly.


    As Kallie oscited between consciousness and unconsciousness, yton’s gaze darkened with a savage obsession.


    He pulled her to him, imprisoning her in his embrace, his breath hot against her ear.


    ‘Why do you only see Jake, haven’t I done everything for you? Even knowing he’s gone, you still cling to the memory of him.


    ???l????v??????.c??m brings fresh updates


    Will he always be the one you treasure?’


    Tears streamed down Kallie’s cheeks as she unknowingly mirrored yton’s pain.


    ‘Jake is the only one in my heart.’


    Refusing to ept her words, yton’s eyes filled with tears.


    ‘I’ve sacrificed so much for you, Kallie.


    I won’t allow it.’


    With those words, yton lifted her up, his actions swift and decisive as he closed the door behind them and walked to the only couch in the room.


    Meanwhile, Lacey was navigating the party with Jake, but they hadn’t seen Kallie or yton.


    A wave of panic swept over Jake.


    Lacey noticed the worry on his face.


    ‘If you want, I can ask around,’ she said quietly.


    ‘Maybe Kallie just went somewhere.’


    Jake shook his head.


    ‘No, it’s okay.


    We can’t make a fuss.


    If we cause a fuss, we’ll draw too much attention.


    We don’t want yton to find out.’


    Lacey’s eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn’t say anything.


    Just then, the crowd began to grow restless.
