Chapter 8

Penulis: Lights & Fire
It was eerily quiet; only Amber's and my breathing could be heard. A moment later, the security door seemed to swing open.

A rush of footsteps flooded the living room, followed by the shouts of men. "Don't move! Police!"

In an instant, a scuffle erupted outside, but it was over just as quickly. Then came another knock—this time at the bedroom door.

"Dr. Cantrell, the suspect has been apprehended. Please come out."

After exchanging a glance with Amber, I went to open the door. The living room

  • Apparently My Girlfriend Is a Murderer   Chapter 9

    Q's POVMy name was Rick Quiller, and I managed a factory workshop. I was working the night shift when my wife, Jessica Lowe, came in to confront me about my infidelity.Our argument quickly escalated and ultimately led to a fire breaking out in the workshop. Jessica suffered severe burns over most of her body and was left in critical condition, while I only sustained facial disfigurement.In that moment between life and death, I realized Jessica was still the person I cared about most. I carried her into the emergency room, where a bespectacled doctor was on duty.He was gentle in his approach, and I trusted his medical expertise. Through tears, I begged him to save Jessica's life. He assured me that he would—but in the end, he failed.Jessica still departed anyway. Watching her body being wheeled into the morgue, every bit of regret and resentment hardened into hatred toward that doctor.If it weren't for him, my family might have survived. His name became permanently etched in

    It was eerily quiet; only Amber's and my breathing could be heard. A moment later, the security door seemed to swing open.A rush of footsteps flooded the living room, followed by the shouts of men. "Don't move! Police!"In an instant, a scuffle erupted outside, but it was over just as quickly. Then came another knock—this time at the bedroom door."Dr. Cantrell, the suspect has been apprehended. Please come out."After exchanging a glance with Amber, I went to open the door. The living room was packed with police. Kaylee and another officer were on the floor, handcuffed and completely restrained."It's you?" I recognized the officer pinned to the floor. It was the same young cop who had come to see me alone a few days earlier and taken the syringe from me.Wallace Gentry, the middle-aged officer, stepped forward and shook my hand. "Thank you, Dr. Cantrell. This man's badge number is fake. He's an impostor."Also, everyone here will need to come with us tonight. We'll get to the

    Seeing that I had locked the officer outside, Kaylee grew even more hysterical. She raked her nails across the glass door and even sank her teeth into it."Let me out! All of you can go to hell! Fuck you, Beau!"Only then did I realize Kaylee had been trapped out on the balcony. Without a second thought, I pulled Amber into the bedroom and locked the door behind us."We don't have much time. Hurry and find more evidence."Amber immediately began rummaging through the bedside table and the closet.At the same time, I called the middle-aged officer who had come to see me the day after Halloween. He had given me his number."Hello, this is Beau Cantrell. You came to my office the other day to ask about Amber's case."Right now, we're trapped at home with the killer. My address is Unit 403, Building 3, Riverside Apartments!"There was no hesitation on the other end of the line. "I'm on my way."The call disconnected, but my heart was still pounding in my throat.The commotion out

    "From then on, I believed Isla's death was far more than a mere car accident. I went back to the police station to file another report, only to be dismissed again by the same officer. He even confiscated Isla's phone."The more I listened, the more unsettled I became. "Why didn't you expose what happened?""Because I later discovered that I was being watched as well."What frightens me most is the possibility that the officer and the killer were in this together. They caused Isla's death. I will make them pay for it."Amber's voice started to tremble, and tears spilled from her reddened eyes."But the killer is still after me, and only now do I understand why she replaced Isla's name on the autopsy report with mine."Because from the outset, I had always been her true target."My heart sank as I listened to her story. "You're saying Kaylee is the one who did it?" I asked solemnly.Amber slowly nodded. "Dr. Cantrell, you're the only one who can help me.""And what exactly do yo

    My face hardened. "If you keep talking nonsense and interfering with my life, I'll call the police.""Call them if you want. It won't make a difference." Hearing the word "police," Amber's tone stayed calm and indifferent. "If you saw the injuries on my body, I believe you'd come with me."She then lifted her dress in front of me. I instinctively looked away, yet I could still see blood dripping at her feet.As my gaze shifted upward, I noticed dense needle marks covering her legs. Her skin had turned a bluish-purple shade—the unmistakable sign of a severe drug overdose reaction.There was also a deep cut on her thigh, exposing the bone beneath. Fresh blood continued to seep from the wound.As a doctor, I was particularly sensitive to blood. "Are you out of your mind? Why haven't you gone to the hospital for a wound this serious?"Driven by medical duty, I tried to take her to the nearest clinic, but Amber pulled her hand away from mine."Dr. Cantrell, you're a man of principle,

    "Of course, I'm not mad at you. If work gets stressful next time, you can tell me. You don't have to carry it all by yourself."I turned around and looked Kaylee in the eyes. Her cheeks were tinged with a rosy flush. Standing so close, I could smell the alcohol on her breath.I was surprised. "Have you been drinking? I thought you never touched alcohol."Kaylee lowered her head slightly, resting it against my chest. In a soft voice, she said, "I got everything at work settled, and I was just feeling happy tonight. Please forgive me, okay? How about we go out for some barbecue?"She suddenly raised her head. Her eyes gleamed as they met mine.I was really tired, but since we'd just reconciled, I couldn't bring myself to spoil her good mood. "Sure."Kaylee couldn't wait any longer and tugged me out the door. Instead of driving like we normally did, she unexpectedly chose to walk with me."Why are we walking? It's over half an hour away." My legs ached, and it felt like a heavy sto
