Chapter 888:

? ? ? ? ?

After the separation, Elin had not seen Dayton, believing that he was confined by Farley, who had assured Erick that Dayton would no longer be a threat.

However, Dayton's sudden appearance in Ardlens shattered the fragile peace that Elin had begun to enjoy.

Under the table, Elin trembled as the count continued.

"Three, four, five..."

Fueled by a surge of adrenaline, Elin ran to the door and yanked it open.

Dayton, looking tired and disheveled, interrupted his tirade. Leaning on the railing, he smiled when he saw her. “Honey, you are still so obedient.”

Elin's body shook, but she forced herself to feign calm, reminding herself of her newfound independence. It no longer belonged to him. They were divorced. Besides, this was Ardlens, not Aurora. Here, the law would protect her.

With a firm voice, Elin faced Dayton. «Dayton, we are divorced. "I'm not your wife anymore."

Dayton's smile widened, the red birthmark twisting grotesquely as he contorted with his smile, a sight that chilled Elin to the bone.

He spoke in a chilling tone. «Elin, it seems that you have forgotten what I told you. Once my wife, always my wife. "You can't escape me."

Elin calmed down. He refused to fear him anymore.

Looking him in the eye, she declared, “Dayton, I'm Ardlens, not Aurora. Touch me and you will face the consequences.

"Bravo! “How arrogant,” he mocked.

Suddenly, Dayton grabbed her hair and pulled her towards him, his voice fierce. «It's been months since we last saw each other. Have you forgotten...?

He leaned toward her, his cold, sinister breath whispering, “Have you forgotten how you used to crawl at my feet like a dog?”

Elin screamed, breaking free from his grasp. She grabbed a knife and swung it at him, her voice shaking with rage. "Dayton, come any closer and I swear I'll kill you!"

«You are too trusting, Elin. If I could destroy you once, I can do it again,” Dayton sneered, smiling sinisterly.

The next second, a scream pierced the air. “Put down the knife!”

Uniformed police officers approached.

Instantly, Dayton raised his hands in surrender, feigning innocence.

«Officer, you have arrived just in time. "It seems like my ex-wife is having an episode again."

He pointed to the gifts scattered on the floor. "I only came to deliver these gifts out of kindness, but she pulled a knife on me and started threatening to kill me."

Elin was shocked to hear his twisted version of the truth.

Dayton was a master of deception, and often painted Elin as unstable.
