Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum)
Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 110

Chapter 110

Elspeth felt an ache in her chest-she hadn't expected Blake to go to such an extent. In the past, she had always thought that Blake simply admired her as an individual and that he hadn't actually fallen for her. However, she was doubtful of her assumptions when she saw the way he acted then. "Get up, Blake. You can leave-I'm fine on my own," Elspeth uttered.

However, Blake shook his head even as he felt punches landing continuously and incessantly on his back. His lips were drained of color because of how much pain he was in. "How could I leave you here? I want to be with you. I don't want to abandon you..."

Ophelia got to her feet and gritted her teeth in anger when she saw Blake protecting Elspeth. "Good job, Blake. How dare you kick me! You clearly know what's going on between Elspeth and Callum, yet you're still trying to cling to Elspeth. How disgusting!" she cried.

"Let Elspeth go, Ophelia. Otherwise, the Winthrop Family will never forgive you." Blake looked up as he forced the words out of his mouth. Ophelia let out a hearty laugh when she heard how weak Blake sounded. "What a joke! Do I look like I'm afraid of them now? I wanted to go easy on you for old times' sake, Blake, but since you came all the way here, I don't think I have to show you mercy anymore." Ophelia gave Daniel and Emerson a look that signaled them to stop. "You guys did well. I want you guys to wait at the side; I'll give the money to you once I'm done with these two." Daniel and Emerson nodded and bowed they were both elated to hear that they were about to get paid. "Great! You take your time. We'll wait around at the side," one of them replied.

After that, Ophelia turned around to see that Blake was still stubbornly protecting Elspeth. A surge of anger shot through Ophelia's body, and she raised the dagger in her hand before stabbing it into Blake's shoulder. "Argh!" Blake writhed in pain as he felt his vision turning blurry.

Tears welled up in Elspeth's eyes. "Are you even human, Ophelia? You're hurting Blake!"

"So? Anyone who stops me from killing you deserves to die! Do you understand?" Ophelia pulled the dagger out of Blake's shoulder before using a handkerchief to clean the blood on it. "Alright. It's your turn next. Do you know how long I've been waiting for this, Elspeth? I want you to die before my eyes right now!" Ophelia had just raised the dagger when she felt a rock hitting her wrist out of nowhere. She instinctively flinched and dropped the dagger.

"Who's there?" Ophelia's senses were immediately heightened as she turned to check the entrance. There was no one standing there, but when she turned back around, she saw Callum standing in the distance with an icy look on his face. "Callum, how did you...." Ophelia knew that she was dead meat, and she was close to breaking down at that point. She couldn't help but shudder in fear at the sight of Callum.

"Let them go," Callum ordered. When Ophelia realized that Callum had just come here to save Elspeth, she felt jealousy boiling in her once more. Then, she picked up the knife before holding it against Elspeth's neck. "Why should I do that? I'm not letting her go. In fact, I want to make sure that they die with me!" she cried.

"That's enough, Ophelia!" Callum had never expressed such rage in his whole life, and Ophelia was stunned to see him acting that way. "I've told you a thousand times, Ophelia-I was only nice to you back ther because you were a child who was staying in my house. I had to be nice to reassure your father that you were in good hands. I never once developed feelings for you, Ophelia. You've always been like a younger sister to me and I would never think of marrying you. If you have basic morals, you will stop pestering me and just forget about

Fleming Family suffer the consequences. Do you think you'll get to escape this punishment by killing yourself? I'm going to make sure you guys suffer more than that." It was rare to hear Callum speaking so much, but when he saw Ophelia's knife being held against Elspeth's throat, he felt genuine fear for once.

Callum was genuinely afraid that he would lose Elspeth someday. Ophelia had imagined what Callum would say a million times in her head, but she hadn't expected it to still hurt her so badly when she heard it directly from him. Ophelia was well aware of everything that Callum had just told her. Ophelia could tell that Elspeth was Callum's one true love just from the way Callum looked at Elspeth. Furthermore, Ophelia also knew that Callum only saw her as his younger sister, but Callum was simply too perfect-he felt like a flawless sculpture that Ophelia wanted to keep for the rest of her life.

However, Elspeth's appearance destroyed Ophelia's plan, sending Ophelia into a frenzy. The best plan Ophelia could come up with was to employ all sorts of tactics to stop Callum and Elspeth from being together. However, at that point in time, Ophelia was no longer certain of her actions. What were all my efforts for?

All her efforts had only brought her to a dead end. She had ruined the entire Fleming Family, and she had made Callum and the Winthrop Family dislike her, yet she hadn't seemed to gain anything despite all of that. She hadn't managed to hurt Elspeth at all-the only person who was hurt was herself. Ophelia froze as she contemplated her situation for a moment, and Callum seized this opportunity to snatch the knife away from her before kicking her a few feet away from them. Ophelia spat out a mouthful of blood as she felt her body slam onto the ground.

"There's no turning back now, Ophelia." Callum made a phone call, and a group of people in armored suits rushed in just ten seconds later. The group of people helped Blake out before Callum hurried over to help Elspeth to her feet. Then, he shot Ophelia with an icy glare. "The police will be here soon. Perhaps you should start coming up with an explanation for yourself. You're ending up in jail this time."

Callum had lost any patience that he once had for Ophelia-right then, he simply felt disgusted when he saw the malicious look on Ophelia's face. "Have you ever liked me in the past, Callum? Even just a little bit." There were tears in Ophelia's eyes as she questioned him in a cautious but hopeful tone. Callum noticed how weak Elspeth was, so he lifted her into his arms in fear that she was about to faint. Callum's face remained hard and cold after he heard Ophelia's question. "Never." With that said, he turned and walked away without even giving Ophelia one last glance. Meanwhile, Daniel and Emerson trembled with fear as they remained in the corner. They hadn't expected the people they had beaten up and kidnapped to be people from the Winthrop Family. The Winthrop Family is the largest and most powerful family in Damoria! We wouldn't live to spend our ten million even if we successfully received our pay! Furthermore, the police are coming now... We just got out of jail a while ago.... When they heard the sound of the police sirens, both Daniel and Emerson simply shut their eyes in resignation. Ophelia wiped off the blood on her lips before she got to her feet and looked around her. The space was empty apart from the two people who were shivering in one corner. Ophelia curled her lips into a scornful smile. Her eyes flickered when she glanced at the dagger in her hand.

The very next second, she sent the dagger directly into her heart. Fresh blood spurted out of her body. My biggest regret in this life is to have fallen in love with Callum. I hope I don't see him in my next life, Ophelia thought.
