Died For Their Vows, Back For My Revenge Chapter 06

My parents‘ eyes nearly popped out of their skulls. It was like they couldn’t fathom why she’d waltz in here asking for death. 

My mother forced an angry look and smacked the back of Tessa’s head. “This is all because of you! Tessa, you’re completely out of control!” 

She grabbed Tessa’s arm and started dragging her toward the door. “Nolan, she’ll only get in the way of Lydia’s recovery. Let me take her home first. Once Lydia’s feeling better, I’ll bring her 

back.” 

Nolan shot to his feet. He crossed the room in 

three long strides. 

He seized Tessa and hauled her right up to 

my bedside. 

He fisted her hair and yanked her head toward 

1. me. “Use your goddamn eyes. Look at what you 

did to your sister! You faked a kidnapping. What 

the hell is wrong with you?” 

Nolan’s roar slapped across Tessa’s face 

harder than any hand could. 

Tears burst down her cheeks instantly. “I did it 

for you! She lied about being pregnant! I just wanted her to pay for what she did to you.” 

She sucked in a ragged breath. “And it’s not like you were actually gonna kill her! She stole my parents. She stole the life I was supposed to have. 

Am I not allowed to be furious about that?” 

Nolan’s face was terrifying. He had never 

looked at someone with this much disgust. 

“You’re the real thief. Every bit of this was 

Lydia’s. You’re the one who dug your claws into 

this family and refused to let go. You’re greedy. 

You’ve got no shame.” 

“You take everything and then act like the world’s done you wrong. I’ve told you a thousand 

times, you were only ever a sister to me. Why the 

hell can’t you get that through your skull?” 

“So tell me.” He shook her by the hair until she 

shrieked. “What is wrong with you? Why do you 

have to tear Lydia down?” 

out!” 

“Let go of me! It hurts! You’re ripping my hair 

My parents couldn’t take it. The second she 

screamed in pain, they lunged forward. 

“Nolan Barrett! Let her go! What gives you the 

right to hit my daughter!” 

Nolan spun around and planted his fist right 

in my father’s face. 

“You old bastard. You just kept pouring 

poison in my ear, over and over. That’s the only goddamn reason I believed Lydia could’ve done this. You cost me my kid!” 

He drove his fists into my father’s face again and again. My father couldn’t fight back. He just curled up and screamed. 

My mother rushed over to stop it. A backhand 

sent her crashing into the wall. 

Tessa was completely unhinged now. She 

stomped her feet and shrieked. “Stop it! Nolan, 

stop! How dare you hit my parents for that bitch!” 

That’s when I opened my eyes. Right in the 

middle of the chaos. 

face. 

Tessa noticed instantly. Hate flooded her 

In the span of a single heartbeat, she grabbed 

a steak knife from the side table and drove it 

toward me. 

“Tessa!” 

The blade sank into Nolan’s forearm. 

He had thrown himself in front of me. He 

slapped Tessa to the floor with his good arm. 

My mother’s scream tore through the room. “Nolan, have you lost your mind!” 

“Who lost their mind? Tessa just tried to 

commit murder!” 

Nolan didn’t hesitate. He called the cops 

himself. 

Medical staff rushed in to stitch and bandage 

his arm. 

Through all of it, I just watched. Like a 

bystander watching a circus. 

As they dragged Tessa out, she kept 

screaming at me. “You happy now, you bitch? You 

satisfied? You ruined the whole family!” 

“Mom and Dad will never forgive you for this. 

Why do you have to ruin my life!” 

Finally, Quiet. 

My father was wheeled off by doctors too. 

The hospital room was just me and my 

mother. 

She looked exhausted. She walked toward me 

slowly. 

Part of me thought her first words would be 

to ask how I was. 

But of course I was wrong.
