Husband With Benefits
Chapter 643: Waste

Chapter 643: Waste

Elena’s eyes flashed with fury as she slammed her hand on the table, rattling the dishes. "What did you do? You fool!"

The man looked up from his meal, a smug grin spreading across his face. "I did something you were too scared to attempt," he said coolly. "I made sure my enemy would disappear."

Elena’s jaw tightened as she struggled to control her rising anger. "You imbecile," she snapped, her voice low and dangerous. "Do you have any idea what you’ve just done? If anything happens to Gabe, you’ll find out firsthand what the Frosts are capable of."

Gregory Savoy, wiped his mouth delicately on the napkin before leaning back, with a wide smile. "Oh, Mrs Elena, you are always the cautious one. That’s why you’ve been suffering at their hands. You’ve never took any decisive action that would put them down forever. Now me? I don’t like playing games. I wanted Gabe gone. So he is now... gone! Gabe Frost is dead while all you’ve been able to do is threaten and intimidate all this time."

Elena’s eyes narrowed in disbelief. "You fool! Gabe isn’t dead—he’s missing. And you’ve just made things infinitely more complicated. The Frosts are not just any family. You can’t take them down one by one... You need to tackle them all at once, or they’ll come back stronger and more relentless."

Gregory Savoy coughed at that, feeling a sliver of fear even as he disregarded it the next moment. But it was something else that bothered him...

Gregory Savoy coughed, a flicker of unease crossing his face despite his efforts to remain composed. "How is that possible?" he demanded, his voice edged with irritation. "I made sure the accident was severe. I followed him, watched as he bled out. He should be dead!"

Elena’s eyes flashed with a mix of scorn and urgency. "You clearly underestimated the Frosts’ resilience. Gabe might be missing, but he’s far from dead. Erasmi Frost came back from the dead after ten years! The Frosts have a way of surviving impossible odds, and you’ve just set yourself up for their wrath. And me! Dam* it! I brought you here and warned you to stay hidden! And what did you do? You went ahead and revealed yourself!"

"Then do something to stop them? If you know these people so well, then you can do something to keep me safe!"

Elena’s eyes bore into him with a fierce urgency. "You think I can fix this mess for you? You’ve made your bed, Gregory, and now you have to lie in it. The only thing I can do is make sure we both get out of here alive. And even then, let me warn you if it comes to choosing between saving myself and saving you, then you are dead meat!"

"How can you say that? I did everything you said! But you promised to get me Autumn and Arabelle? What about that? You’ve done nothing to funfill your end of the bargain! What are you expecting? I won’t cooperate with you. All this is just your ruse to get me out of the way. Don’t take me for a fool, Elena Wintrhope!"

Elena gave a short sharp laugh," Take you for a fool? You are the one who has created trouble for me! I asked you to lie low! To wait for the opportunity! I have never met a man as foolish as you!"

Savoy’s face twisted with rage, and without warning, he grabbed the heavy glass vase from the table. "Enough!" he shouted, swinging it with all his might.

The vase connected with her temple with a sickening thud. Her eyes widened in shock and pain as she stumbled backward, the impact sending her crashing into a nearby chair. Dishes clattered to the floor, shattering into pieces as she fell, her hand gripping the edge of the table for support as she struggled to maintain her balance. Her eyes blazed with a mixture of rage and pain as she glared at Gregory, who was already swinging the vase again.

She tried to protect herself, feeling the next impact of it on her arm and lost consciousness from the pain...

Gregory kicked her again and again, letting his rage free! This b*tch! She really thought she could talk back to him! His face twisted with anger he looked down at her crumpled form, his breathing heavy and erratic as he shouted, "You think I’m scared of them? Of you? You’re nothing but a failed schemer who couldn’t get the job done. Wait wait wait! I gave up everything like you told me and all you can do is ask me to wait! I should have investigated you first before agreeing! You’ve been waiting for a revenge for more than two decades now! You think I have that kind of time?"

Just then, he heard the sound of people racing up the stairs and knew that her servants would soon discover him. Throwing aside the vase, he glanced around the room, his eyes darting to the door. Without another word, he turned and bolted, his footsteps echoing through the hallway.

Next, he burst into the garage, his breaths coming in ragged gasps as his weight did not allow him to move faster. Elena’s blood smeared his hands, leaving a trail everywhere he touched but his maniacal eyes were clear and determined with a goal. He spotted Elena’s sleek black sedan parked in the corner and hurriedly started it.

Gregory’s mind raced as fast as the car raced out. So what if Gabe was missing and not dead? As long as he wasn’t there with Autumn, Gregory had a chance. A sick, twisted smile spread across his face as he navigated the winding roads away from the estate.

"I can fix this," he muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming brighter. "Autumn will be mine, and Gabe... Gabe can remain missing. Heck! I might even return that Autumn to Gabe when I am done with her..." All these years of waiting and yearning were finally coming to a closure...
