A Killer's Silent Vow Chapter 10 Walking Toward the Light
When Justin escorted me back to the police station for the last time, he finally could not hold back anymore. "Sabrina, I'm sorry for accusing you of killing Edith out of love in the early stages of the investigation."I smiled and shook my head. "It's fine. Maybe Tristan overestimated how important he was to me, too."What I had not expected was that Tristan would actually request a visit.When I saw him through the glass again, his hands trembled so badly that he could barely hold the receiver."Sabrina? Sabrina, I'm sorry…" He cried like a child. "I didn't know. I had no idea you'd been through all that. Back then, there really was nothing between Edith and me. I'd met her first, but you were the one I fell in love with. You've always been the only one in my heart, Sabrina. She deceived me from the start. She made up all those tragic stories about her past to win my sympathy."I only got together with her because my sense of justice made me want to avenge what she'd suffered at
A Killer's Silent Vow Chapter 9 Forever Beneath the Asphalt
Edith struggled to get up, but I kicked her and the chair out from under her, sending them both crashing to the ground.It was the exact same position she had been in when I had first met her."Edith, the day you ran over my mother was your birthday. Did you know that even if you hadn't asked her to meet you that day, she would've come looking for you three days later? Because three days after that was the day you first came to my home. It was the birthday of your second life. The day you received that offer from the company overseas, I was even happier than you were. I told my parents about it before you did."That day, you asked my mother whether she'd rather have a capable, accomplished daughter who couldn't stay by her side or a daughter who stayed with her but never achieved much. My mother said, 'My Sabrina can do whatever she wants.' "But she hadn't finished speaking."Back then, she'd wanted to send me abroad. I gave up that opportunity and stayed in the country for your
A Killer's Silent Vow Chapter 8 The Birth of Hope
A strangled sound escaped my throat. "What did you say?"Edith lifted my chin and enunciated every word. "Your family took me in and raised me for 13 years, so I ran over her 13 times. On the very road you took to bring me into the city."Sabrina, did you think taking me away from the village made you some kind of saint? You were just lucky enough to be born with advantages I never had. I was already unlucky enough to be born into the wrong family."Writing letters to contact you, luring you into the village, getting my mother to beat me—all of it was my attempt to change my fate! Everything I have today, from day one, I earned through my own efforts! Why should I owe you anything? My mother didn't love me because I wasn't a boy. "Meanwhile, your mother loved you even when you did absolutely nothing. I met every condition for being loved, so Tristan cheated on you. Your parents refused to accept me, so they deserved to die!"She flung a letter of forgiveness at my face. In the bo
A Killer's Silent Vow Chapter 7 A Birthday That Ended in Murder
My mother had died in a car accident six years earlier. The collision had occurred on an undeveloped stretch of road that was not yet covered by surveillance cameras.However, witness testimonies, footage recovered from the dashcam of the vehicle involved provided by the dealership, and the traffic police's examination of the tire tracks at the scene had all established that my mother was entirely at fault. The driver of the other vehicle had been Edith.My father had signed a letter of forgiveness, waiving any further claims against her, and had died of a sudden cerebral infarction later that same year. My ex-husband, Tristan, had handled all the funeral arrangements.Everyone involved had kept these events from me on the grounds that I was pregnant and could not afford any emotional distress. Without knowing it, I would become an orphan, spending my days nourishing my enemy's child with my own flesh and blood, eagerly awaiting its arrival with boundless anticipation.Justin fel
A Killer's Silent Vow Chapter 6 A Bridge Built on Blood
Five seconds later, the surveillance monitor abruptly went black. All the color drained from Justin's face. "That wasn't surveillance footage. It was a prerecorded video…"I laughed. "I never said it was surveillance footage."A fist came flying at my face, knocking me clean off my feet. One of my canine teeth landed on the floor in front of me, and the metallic taste of blood flooded my mouth.Tristan grabbed me by the collar and hauled me off the ground. "Where the hell is Edith? What did you do to her?"I quietly studied the man who had once shared my bed, my ex-husband, who was now shedding tears for another woman. "Didn't you just see Edith yourselves? You were the ones who failed to recognize her. So, why are you yelling at me now?"Justin's expression darkened. "We saw her? Where?"I lazily pointed in the direction they had come from. "Beacon Bridge. The entire bridge was Edith. You spent ten minutes passing over her, yet you walked away without even looking back."My ans
A Killer's Silent Vow Chapter 5 The Woman on the Screen
What followed was no longer Sabrina Westbrook's story. It was Hope Westbrook's.Justin grabbed me by the collar. "Where are Rayburne's remains? Westbrook, your crimes have already been established. Stop putting up pointless resistance."I looked at him with an almost amused smile. "But I genuinely don't know where Edith's remains are. All I know is where the living Edith is."Everyone present widened their eyes in shock. "Edith Rayburne is still alive?"Tristan dropped to his knees, tears and snot streaming down his face. "Thank God. Thank God!"Justin remained suspicious. "Are you just trying to buy time? From what I've gathered, Edith had no social or personal connections with the other five victims. You still haven't explained why you killed those five people."I raised my shackled hands. "How much time could a death-row inmate possibly have left? You're wasting time. If you keep dragging this out, Edith might not have much time left herself."Justin immediately tensed.Five
