Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 479

Chapter 479

Earlier, all Kelly had wanted was to push Sharon out of the picture, nothing too extreme.

But now, because of Sharon, Carter had grown colder toward her by the day. She was running out of patience.

One way or another, Sharon had to go.

As Kelly’s mind drifted, lost in thought, Thomas’s voice pulled her back.

“I’ve cleared my schedule. I’ll be staying in Amstern City for a while to help you.

“Kelly, you should focus more on your violin… not on some man. Your playing now doesn’t even come close to the first time I heard you. Honestly, it’s disappointing. 1

“He’s just a man. If it’s beauty you’re after, I can find you someone even more flawless. Why cling to Carter?

“He’s married. He has a child. What is it about him that has you so spellbound?”

It wasn’t the first time he’d said something like that.

And yet, no matter how gentle his voice sounded, Kelly didn’t feel the slightest joy, only a rising, visceral fear.

Thomas was too good to her. Anything she asked for, he would make happen.

Even if she asked him to kill someone, he would probably agree without hesitation.

At first, she’d reveled in his devotion.

Even knowing he had mistaken her for someone else, she said nothing. 1

But slowly, she began to realize something was off about him.

It wasn’t just his unstable moods, though those were troubling enough. There was something deeper, something fundamentally

broken.

Why did he treat her this well?

All because he’d once heard “her” playing First Love in a garden, and decided she was his salvation, the light in his darkness. He was willing to help her unconditionally, without limit.

If it were love, she might understand. But the fact that he offered to find her another man, that alone proved there was no romantic feeling between them.

And if there was, it wasn’t the kind anyone should want.

After seeing what Thomas was capable of, her fear only deepened. He was dangerous. Too dangerous.

If he ever discovered the truth, the lie she had let him believe, she wouldn’t survive it.

And the worst part?

To this day, Kelly still didn’t know who had actually played First Love in the garden that day.

The piece was written by a member of Bell University’s Hall of Fame, someone who went by the name Jenna. It was her signature work.

But Jenna had never revealed her real identity. All anyone knew was that she was a woman. Beyond that, Kelly had nothing to go

The composition had been wildly popular. It even became a staple at competitions across the school.

Kelly loved First Love too. That was why she practiced it often in the garden.

Apparently, Thomas had overheard someone playing it and assumed it was her.

At first, Kelly believed he really had heard her. He’d told her how much he loved her playing and asked her to perform it again

for him.

She did. But after she finished, he looked disappointed.

He said her playing didn’t quite match what he remembered.

She hadn’t thought much of it at the time.

After all, a person’s performance could vary depending on mood, energy, and circumstance. She’d had days where even she was amazed by her own skill.

It wasn’t until Thomas pulled out an earring that she realized-he’d found the wrong person.

And still, she said nothing

Back then, Thomas had seemed so normal. So elegant. So powerful. So heartbreakingly beautiful.

And he catered to her every whim.

It was hard not to feel a little moved.

But once she saw the truth-that he wasn’t as sane as he seemed-what followed wasn’t affection. It was dread.
