He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 513

Graham already prepared a small syringe containing a drug that could knock her out in an instant.

He already prepared his escape route through the emergency exit near the restroom. But before he did the extreme, he gave Kate one last chance to repent, "Come with me, Kate. We can start anew. I promise I will make you happy somewhere without that bastard searching for us."

"I would rather die than live with you, you piece of shit," Kate said. "To think that you were once James’ best friend, what a disappointment."

Graham scoffed, "Fine, you asked for it."

He took out the syringe from his pocket, but a man suddenly rushed towards them before he could touch Kate. He grabbed Graham’s collar and flung him to the wall.

"Urgh! Arghh!" Graham felt an awful pain at the back of his head when he hit the wall. But before he could open his eyes to register what just happened, he felt a strong pain in his stomach and chest.

Kate held her breath when she saw Henry mercilessly kicking and stomping Graham’s chest and stomach.

He said nothing, but his bloodshot eyes and the killing intent in his attack showed Kate that Henry wanted to kill Graham right here, right now.

"Urk! Arghh! Arghh!" Graham writhed in pain as he was given no chance to retaliate.

Kate finally took the initiative to hold his hand and tried to calm him down, "Henry, calm down. You’re going to kill him!"

Henry turned his head towards Kate. He looked like a demon about to swallow anything in his path. But the moment their eyes met, he stopped kicking Graham’s body.

His eyes softened, but he shook his head as he apologized, "I’m so sorry, Kitty. I let him slide because I still saw him as my late brother’s best friend. I thought he’d change his way and abandon whatever obsession he has for you. I didn’t know he’d do something like this to you."

Henry looked down, and his killing intent rose up again, "I have to kill him now before he becomes a pest in our lives. He is a necessary sacrifice, just like what you said."

Kate pulled his hand and said, "Just put him in jail, Henry. That is the last forgiveness we can give him for what he has done."

"But—"

"James will be sad if you kill his best friend. Despite his fault, he helped me to get my divorce, remember?"

...

Henry stared at Graham, who grimaced in pain on the floor. He looked pitiful, but the only thing on Henry’s heart was resentment, "I give you a chance, Graham Hubbard. I know you’ve been dealing with those corrupt politicians, and I give you a chance to repent by hiding at least some of them. Instead of reflecting on your mistake in jail, you spent your fortune to bail yourself out and do this."

Of course, if Graham was not obsessed with Kate, he could be a good ally.

But his mind had been poisoned by that dead bitch, Sarah. So he kept antagonizing Henry and refused to believe that Kate was happy with him.

"You should be grateful that Kate doesn’t want me to kill you," Henry said before he finally took a step back and called someone through the phone.

Not long after, a group of men dressed in black blocked the corridor and started to work on cleaning up that bastard Graham Hubbard.

They saw Graham being carried by those men in black through the emergency exit door, and they left the mall.

"Wait, Chloe is still waiting for me—"

"No need. I already told her that to leave without you. So she doesn’t need to wait," Henry said calmly.

The valet opened the door for them and returned the key to Henry.

They drove out of the mall in silence as nobody dared to strike up a conversation after what happened.

Eventually, Kate was so overridden by her curiosity and suspicion that she asked, "Henry, were you listening the whole time?"

...

"No," Henry said. "I’ve just arrived and saw you getting pinned by that bastard."

"That’s a lie," Kate called him out immediately. "You heard me when I said ’necessary sacrifice’ to Graham. So you must’ve heard the rest as well."

"That’s just a coincidence," Henry dodged.

"Is it also a coincidence that you came to save me right at the right time? I know you, Henry. You have your surveillance all over me. Of course, you know about it, right?"

Kate turned her head towards Henry, still driving, "Be honest with me, Henry. Were you listening the whole time?"

...

Henry clenched the steering wheel. He then parked his car at the side of the road and stared back at Kate.

"Yes, I admit it. I got the information that Graham told you. So I rushed to the mall to save you."

"But when I was about to come and punch that bastard to death, I heard him slandering me in front of you," Henry admitted everything, knowing the only way for him to get her forgiveness was to come clean. "So I... I want to know your reaction. I want to know if you will abandon everything we have right now because you’re scared of me."

Henry gently held Kate’s hand and kissed it obsessively, "What he said was right. I was the one who exposed all of his dealing with those corrupt politicians. I destroyed his career instantly and threw him in jail. I was also the one who killed Sarah and my own father."

"I’m scared that you will see me as a murderer and turn your back on me. I was ready to—"Henry swallowed his saliva as he got nervous when talking about his dark thoughts. "I was ready to kill that bastard on the spot and lock you in our castle if you dare to run away."

...

"I told you many times that I don’t mind the necessary sacrifice, don’t I?" Kate asked.

"You did..." Henry said. "I was just scared that you don’t truly love me. You just felt responsible for running away and can’t wait to run away for the second time."

Kate sighed.

She had long recognized that Henry had a tendency to have irrational fear when he felt something was out of his control.

But he didn’t expect it to be this awful.

So, the only thing she could do right now was to give him constant reassurance.

"Henry, did you know I found the perfect dress for our wedding day?" Kate said, shifting the topic out of the blue.

"Kitty—"

"I also picked the perfect set of earrings and necklace. It’s extremely costly because it was made by Graff. But my husband is very rich, right? So I don’t need to worry about money at all."

"Kate..."

"Oh, I also checked the guest list for our wedding. I can’t believe that real nobles will be attending our wedding! It’s like a dream come true for me, you know."

...

Henry finally zipped his mouth. He listened to Kate’s random mumble and began to feel better.

"I also heard that you’ve prepared a perfect honeymoon for us. I can’t wait to spend a good time with you. I bet it will be wonderful," Kate giggled.

"Of course, I’ve prepared everything for us," Henry replied. "And don’t worry about Theo. My mom said they would take care of Theo for a week. Chloe will also make frequent visits with her daughters."

"Well, Duke Henry seems eager for it, huh?" Kate grinned. "I can’t wait to be your Wife and your Duchess."

"I also can’t wait to be your official husband. We will be bound by official marriage and duty."

"Indeed, you have given me everything that I ever wished for. So why the hell would I run away? It’d be so stupid and pointless, right?" Kate said. "You don’t need to worry about me, Henry. I will not go. I’m actually more worried about you..."

"About me?" Henry was surprised.

"I mean, you are young and very successful. I’m sure there are a lot of young women out there," Kate leaned forward and gave Henry a quick kiss that felt like a feather brushing his lips. "Maybe I should brace myself for a competition, hm?"

The passionate fire in Henry’s heart burned all of his paranoia away. He took the chance to kiss Kate deeply as he wanted to assure her about his choice.

"There is no competition, Katherine," Henry assured. "You’ve occupied my heart entirely. There is nobody else that can take that spot."

"Same goes for you, hot stuff," Kate giggled. "You are the only thing I have in my heart. You don’t need to worry about me leaving. I would be the dumbest woman in the world if I made the same mistake twice."

With that, Kate and Henry felt satisfied as they returned to the castle with a newfound trust for each other.

As for Graham?

Henry had a lot of ways to put him in jail for the rest of his life.
