At her words, Jarrodâs eyes sparked with intensity.
He raised his hand abruptly, his voice hoarse but laced with cruelty.
âDonât even think about it.
She is mine!â
Caught off guard, Raegan stumbled backward, but Mitchel swiftly reached out to steady her.
âWhat are you saying? You are out of your mind.
Nicole would rather die than be with you.
She doesnât want you near her.
Let her go!â Raegan yelled.
Despite Raeganâs attempts to distance Jarrod from Nicoleâs body, Mitchel held her firmly from behind, preventing her from doing so.
âs BunnyBookery Having known Jarrod for years, Mitchel sensed Jarrod was Losing control.
Fearing Raegan might be accidentally harmed, he cautioned in a hushed tone, âDonât act impulsively.
You could get hurt.
â
Jarrod clung to Nicoleâs lifeless body without moving for a day and night.
It wasnât until Alec urged Jarrod home that Jarrod uttered something unsettling, âIâm taking her back with me.
â
Jarrod intended to bring Nicoleâs body to the villa where they shared countless memories.
Alecâs expression changed instantly, and he said in a trembling voice, âMr.
Schultz, the body is badly mutilatedâ¦â
âArrange a time with the funeral home and have them set up an ice coffin at my place,â Jarrod instructed.
Alec was left speechless when he heard that.
He couldnât believe his ears.
Jarrod was insane.
Jarrod must have lost his mind.
Was Jarrod planning to keep Nicoleâs corpse at home?
However, Alec refrained from saying anything and complied with Jarrodâs instructions.
The burial date was set, and Raegan and others gathered for the ceremony.
Little did anyone know that the coffin contained nothing but emptiness, and Nicoleâs body was not inside.
After the mourning, Raegan left without a word to Jarrod.
She couldnât stand being in the same room as him since she found him hypocritical and undeserving of pity.
During their journey back, Mitchelâs phone rang.
It was Matteo calling to inform Mitchel that Lauren hadnât been feeling well these past two days and wanted to see him.
Raegan overheard Matteoâs words and abruptly reached for the car door.
Suddenly, a sharp noise was heard.
The car skidded to a halt after a sudden brake.
Once the car stopped, Mitchel seized Raeganâs hand, exclaiming, âAre you out of your mind?â
In a foul mood, Raegan brushed off his hand.
âf@ck off! Donât touch me!â
Although Raeganâs nail cut the back of his hand, Mitchel seemed unfazed.
âDonât be foolish.
We are in the middle of the highway.
Where do you think you are going?â Mitchel said softly.
Raegan retorted coldly, âYou are off to see your childâs mother, arenât you? Go ahead.
I can get back by myself.
â
âWhat on earth are you talking about?â Mitchel held her hand firmly and said angrily, âI have told you that the baby isnât mine.
