Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 81

The knife was plunged into Balch.

Balch grunted, clutching Seraphina’s arm.

The blade was meant for Seraphina, but it had landed in his back and freaked out both women. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Balch!” Fidelia screamed in shock, loosening her grip.

Seraphina quickly supported Balch, “Are you okay?”

Balch glanced at her and squeezed her hand.

Seraphina quickly caught his drift.

Balch turned his head, grabbed Fidelia’s flustered hand and gasped, “Are you only satisfied when I’m dead?”

“No! No Fidelia’s eyes welled up, and she hugged him, “How could I ever want you dead? I love you so much, I just want you to be okay…” Fidelia slowly leaned on Balch’s shoulder.

Balch held her with one hand and gestured to Seraphina to leave quickly with his other hand.

Seraphina slowly stood up, but as she tried to sneak away, she bumped into Fidelia.

Fidelia regained her senses, looked up, and grabbed Seraphina’s trouser leg, “Trying to run?”

Seraphina was pulled and fell to the ground again.

Fidelia slowly approached Seraphina, who looked at Balch in fear.

“Fidelia Balch yelled, “Don’t do it!”

Fidelia clung to Seraphina’s trouser leg and burst into tears at Balch’s words.

“Did I do something wrong? I did all this for you!” Fidelia turned to Balch, “These women are hurting you! Why are you so forgiving to them but so cruel to

me?”

Balch, propped up on the ground, struggled to stay upright and said, “You’ve got it all wrong…

“No, I haven’t!” Fidelia suddenly pointed at Seraphina, “Look at her, you got hurt for her, and she just leaves you here and runs away. Why do you protect her? She’s still Leandro’s woman! She doesn’t even love you!”

Seraphina, her arm scratched and frightened, fell to the ground, seemingly unable to get up.

“Fidelia, I know, I know it all.” Balch tried to keep his voice steady, “I can tell she’s not sincere…”

Before he could finish, Balch suddenly cried out in pain, clutching his wound.

Fidelia, scared, immediately let go of Seraphina and rushed to his side, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you, I never thought of hurting you…”

“I know.” Balch held her hand. “I remember all the good things you’ve done for me, but I also don’t want to see you keep screwing up… You’ve gone through so much to get here, do you really want to ruin yourself?”

“No“” Fidelia cried, “I just want to be with you. I just want it to be the two of us, peaceful and quiet…”

“Okay” Balch replied, “I promise you.”

*Really?” Fidelia immediately looked up at him.

Balch slowly nodded.

As they spoke, Seraphina finally managed to stand up again, looking at Balch.

Balch gestured to her, and Seraphina nodded.

Fidelia burst into tears with excitement, but in an instant, her face changed again, “Not yet, not yet…”

She slowly turned her head to look at Seraphina who had stood up, “Only when she’s gone will you be at ease with me…”

Balch’s face immediately changed, anxiously looking at Seraphina, hoping she would leave quickly.

But Seraphina didit move

She stood there, looking at Fidelia, then suddenly laughed, “Okay then, kill me. But if you kill me, you’ll go to jail. How will you be with him then?”

Fidelia suddenly laughed

“Who says killing someone will definitely land you in jail?” she said, “You’ll die just like Janetta Lawson did!”

Janetta was Balchs late wife.

At these words, Seraphina’s face suddenly changed, she looked at Balch.

Balch also looked at her, his eyes unreadable, but he just shook his head.

Seraphina stood there, dumbfounded, “Did she kill your wife? Did you know this?”

“Seraphina” Balch called her name urgently

“Whether he knows or not is none of your business!” Fidelia suddenly laughed coldly, “Anyway, you’ll be joining Janetta soon!”

Right after her words, Fidelia pulled out a small silver gun from behind her and aimed at Seraphina.

Seraphina went pale, but she couldn’t help but look at Balch.

Balch, lying behind Fidelia on the ground, was still trying to signal Seraphina, while yelling at Fidelia, “Fidelia! No! Once you pull the trigger, there’s no turning back!”

“I don’t care.” Fidelia’s voice hardened, 1 just want her dead!”

Bang!

After a loud noise, the kitchen light fixture swung wildly.

Balch somehow managed to stand up, grabbed Fidelia’s arm, and sent the bullet into the ceiling!

“Seraphina‘ Run!” Balch suddenly yelled.

Seraphina turned and pushed open the window behind her.

“You’re still protecting her! You’re risking your life to protect her! Do you love her that much? Fidelia screamed uncontrollably, pushing the injured Balch away and aiming the gun at Seraphina again.

Bang!

Seraphina had climbed onto the window, and the bullet grazed past her, hitting the window frame.

Seraphina dodged and jumped out of the window.

But with her jump, she landed straight into a pair of solid arms, along with a familiar smell.

This moment felt like a dream. Seraphina looked up, and there he was, Leandro.

Leandro just shot her a deep glance, ensuring she was safe, then shifted his gaze towards the window.

Fidelia had reached the window. Even after seeing Leandro, she didn’t hesitate to raise her gun.

In that instant, Seraphina was certain this woman had completely lost her marbles.

With another gunshot, Leandro suddenly fell onto Seraphina.

As they hit the floor, Seraphina tried to get up but found Leandro’s body weighing heavily on her.

“Leandro Seraphina gritted her teeth and called out his name.

“Stay put!” Leandro’s voice was low and filled with anger.

Then, another gunshot rang out, but this time from a different direction.

Seraphina couldn’t tell which direction it came from. She stiffened slightly, mustered all her strength to roll over and shielded Leandro with her body.

At this moment, Herman was behind Leandro with his gun pointed at Fidelia. Fidelia’s shoulder was already injured from his first shot. But seeing Seraphina’s body appear in front of the gun, she gritted her teeth and fired again!

Bang!

The bullet hit Seraphina’s back. Unable to control herself, she lurched forward and fell into Leandro’s arms.
