"Well? She's been locked inside for days now. Has she admitted her mistake yet?" Colin Shaw's face was twisted in disgust as he glanced toward the cave and questioned the bodyguard.

"No, sir. Mrs. Shaw hasn't begged for mercy once," the bodyguard replied firmly.

He was right—I had not begged for mercy, but I did call for help.

"Mr. Shaw! Mrs. Shaw hasn't eaten or drunk anything in days. Could she have passed out? Maybe we should let her out?" Kyle Wilbur, our driver, suggested.

Having watched Colin and me through our courtship and marriage, he always seemed to pity me.

Colin's face darkened, his voice cold as ice. "Shut up! So what if she's gone a few days without food and water?

"Olivia has been missing for so long, with no idea how long she's gone without either. Norah deserves to suffer just like Olivia did!"

He added, "And Kyle, don't think your long years with the Shaw family give you immunity. Anyone who dares plead for that woman will be fired on the spot!"

Kyle turned pale and quickly backed off, leaving just Colin and the bodyguard. From within the cave, I could see Colin's hand tenderly caressing a ribbon tied around his wrist.

His voice softened as he murmured to it, "Olivia, I wonder how hungry or scared you must have been all this time. I miss you so much.

"I've already locked up Norah Martinez. I'll make sure she pays for everything. Oh, Olivia..."

He was pouring his heart out to that ribbon as if it embodied his lost love, but all I could feel was a crushing pain. He was so gentle when he spoke about her, yet here I was, cold, hungry, and forgotten in this hellhole.

I suddenly realized something horrifying—I was already dead. Olivia Martinez's final note had explained that she did not want to hurt me anymore by staying in his life.

Yet, Colin blamed me for her disappearance and locked me in this cave as if I had driven her away. My entire body ached as waves of cold and hunger tormented me.

I screamed for help, but no one came. With that, I was left in the dark with nothing but my fears and the sting of a cobra’s venom burning through my veins.

The pain twisted me into agony as I struggled to breathe. Death's suffocating grip closed tighter and tighter, and I found myself unable to escape the terror consuming me.

"Olivia, I'll make sure Norah is punished for what she did to you. I swear it... Olivia..." Colin's words echoed cruelly in my ears.

I thought bitterly, 'Punish me? Really? The punishment had already been carried out—you were the one who sentenced me!'

Tears streamed down my face as the heartbreaking truth settled in. I was dead—Colin had killed me with his own hands.

I wondered what I had done to deserve this. After all, all I did was reject Olivia.

    I instinctively replied, "Yes, I'm done."A man in a white robe appeared behind me like a ghost and said, "Congratulations, Ms. Martinez. Because of your kind nature, your soul is pure. From now on, you can join the direct department of the underworld."Then, I realized that I was also a ghost. I excitedly circled around him and asked, "Are you White Enforcer? What about Black Enforcer? Where is he?""Who's Black Enforcer? I don't know anyone by that name.""The one dressed in black, your colleague," I pressed on, curious."Sorry, all my colleagues wear white. No one wears black. And you, Norah, will be wearing a white uniform too."He looked at me seriously and added, "My name is White Sentinel, not White Enforcer! Now, follow me.""But—""No buts."When I suddenly stopped in my tracks, he turned around and glanced at me. He asked, "What's wrong? Don't waste my time, Ms. Martinez.""Will all the people who died become your colleagues? I mean..."White Sentinel replied, "Oh,

    Without wasting any time, Colin shoved the rag back into their mouths and dragged them into the bedroom, like he was hauling dead dogs.In the bedroom, several barrels of gasoline were set up. I could not believe my eyes as I finally realized that he was going to burn them alive. My adoptive parents also realized the danger and struggled desperately, but it was useless. At that moment, I finally saw just how strong Colin was. He threw them on the floor, splashed gasoline around them, and, with terror in their eyes, he dropped a match by the door.With a loud boom, the fire erupted, roaring to life. As the flames raged behind him, Colin slowly stepped out of the villa, muttering, "These are the last two. Everyone who ever hurt you has paid for their sins, Norah. Do you see it?"He added, "Oh wait, there's one more. Don't worry, Norah, he'll be joining them soon."A chill ran down my spine when I heard those words. Afterward, Colin sped back to our home, Riverside Villa. In my bedr

    Colin gripped the steering wheel with one hand and dialed a phone number with the other. As soon as the call connected, he asked, "Hello? Is everything ready? Where are they?" The person replied, "Everything's ready. They're at the villa on the west side of town.""Got it."After he hung up, I could see a fire burning in his eyes, though I had no idea who that fire was meant for. Soon enough, I found out. The villa in the west was my parents' house—no, my adoptive parents' house. It was laughable that I did not know the truth about why I was never really loved until Colin pulled out the paternity test. It turned out I was not their biological child at all. It was such a twisted joke. I still had no idea what Colin planned to do to them.Once we entered the villa, the first thing I saw was my adoptive parents tied up and struggling against their restraints. When they saw Colin enter, they desperately twisted their bodies, hoping he would notice them and release them.But of co

    Colin drove back to the familiar, dark, gloomy warehouse—only this time, there was a hidden room. Colin dragged Olivia in, forcefully pushing her into the small, locked room."No, no! I'm afraid of the dark! Please let me out!" Olivia screamed, pounding on the door frantically.No one could hear her except for Colin, standing outside. He sneered, "Heh! You're afraid of the dark? Wasn't Norah afraid of it too?"He continued, "I just want you to experience what Norah went through. Can't handle it, huh? Then why did you let Norah go through it?"Olivia slammed against the door, her hands bruising, clearly terrified. "Enough! Enough! Let me out! I wasn't doing it on purpose! I was just going along with things!""Yes! You were just going along with things, and I'm the one who truly killed Norah! Don't worry, once I'm done with you, I'll make things right with Norah!" Colin laughed bitterly, his face twisting into a cruel grin.He added, "But Olivia, what you're experiencing is just th

    Colin shouted, "No way! How could I marry such a disgusting woman!" It finally hit Olivia that Colin was behind this, and she exclaimed, "It's you, Colin! You did this!""Yes, it's me! I wanted everyone to know your true colors!" Colin looked at her as though she were something filthy. He was filled with repulsion.He continued, "Your parents switched you at birth with Norah. You've enjoyed all the wealth and status from the Martinez family, and had the love of two parents. But that wasn't enough, was it? "You also had to bully Norah! Beneath that pretty face is a heart that is utterly vile—you bullied your classmates, slept around, and even slandered Joey, claiming the child wasn't mine. You bribed people to push her toward death! You're truly wicked!"Olivia yelled, "Shut up! Aren't you the one who really killed her?"Ethan and Hazel suddenly rushed onto the stage, grabbing Colin's hands. They asked desperately, "Did you say Norah is our child? Is that true?"Colin replied,

    At the Riverview Villa, a grand engagement party was being held. Since I had moved into the villa, I had never seen such an extravagant event. Guests flooded in, and reporters with cameras did not even know which big shot to focus on. Meanwhile, Olivia stood at the center of the stage, dressed in a stunning gown, looking every bit like a princess.She said, "Thank you all for coming to our engagement party. Please enjoy our love story."My parents, along with Olivia's, immediately clapped their hands. They cheered, "Olivia, you're the most beautiful girl ever! We wish you the best for your marriage!"Olivia blushed and looked sweetly shy, while Colin stood beside her, looking indifferent. It was as if he was not the groom.Scenes began flashing on the big screen, and the guests immediately started whispering among themselves."My God! Is that really Olivia? She's so evil!""Not only did she secretly bully her classmates, but she was dating so many guys at once!""I can't belie
