LOGINOn the day my daughter, Dakota Bradshaw, gets into a car accident, I rush over to save her, only to get crippled instead. Both my wife, Delilah Rowland, and Dakota don't mind the fact that I'm being a burden to them. Instead, they put in a lot of effort to take good care of me. But one day, a fire breaks out at home. Yet, Delilah personally closes my room door. Since I'm crippled, I end up falling to the floor in my state of panic. That's when I notice Dakota's shoes through the gap under the door. "Dakota, save me!" I call for help at the top of my lungs. But only the sounds of the crackling flames respond to me. I have no idea how much time has passed when I catch wisps of a conversation hazily. "Mom, the firefighters are here. What should we do?" Dakota's voice is very low. Delilah replies calmly, "Tell the police that your father started the fire when he was cooking. We just reached the corridor at that time, so the doorknob was already warped from the fire." Dakota simply says one word. "Okay."
View MoreAs it turned out, Nelson hadn't left with the rest of his colleagues last night. He listened intently at the door for a while and vaguely heard me arguing with Delilah and Dakota.He then waited for the light in the crack of the door to go out before calling out tentatively, "Mr. Bradshaw? Are you still up?"At that point, I had already felt the effects of the drug spreading to my elbow joint. But when I heard someone calling out to me at the door, I dug my fingers into the armrest of my wheelchair and threw myself to the ground.Then, I used my palms and my face to inch my body across the floor, slowly making toward the door until I finally reached it.However, there was absolutely no way for me to open the door in this state.I'd already given up on all hope by then. I thought of just leaving my last words with Nelson at the door so that he could help me get both Delilah and Dakota arrested for their crimes.However, the door suddenly opened with a click.Nelson had picked the
The entire venue fell hush in an instant.Delilah's smile froze on her face. She whirled around to stare at the large screen, her eyes widening and pupils contracting sharply.Her ferocious face had just appeared on the huge screen behind her.The video was from three days ago, after she'd gotten tipsy from the alcohol and sat by my bed, bragging about how she'd managed to outsmart the police and set me up in the fire.Then, the scene changed. Dakota's cold voice appeared."...Just wait until I've passed the Civil Service Examination. I'll send him to the cheapest, most remote nursing home and let him fend for himself."The scene changed once again. It was a video of Delilah pinning me down on the bed while stabbing me repeatedly in the leg with the stung gun. She was laughing and cackling in glee as I let out screams and cries of agony."No! Turn the video off! Turn it off!" Delilah screamed, running to the edge of the stage as she yelled at the multimedia person-in-charge. "Th
"Now let's all put our hands together to welcome the final award winner onstage tonight—Ms. Delilah Rowland, a model wife who has been creating miracles with her love and perseverance for five years, and her outstanding daughter, Dakota Bradshaw!"The event host's passionate voice rang out from the stage, followed by thunderous applause from the audience.Delilah took a deep breath, her eyes immediately welling up with tears. She then pushed my wheelchair onstage as she and Dakota walked onto the stage under the spotlight.Many people in the audience let out sighs of pity when they saw me in my state in the wheelchair. Some of them even began getting teary-eyed just looking at us.The host came up to us and asked in a choked voice, "Ms. Rowland, I felt so touched when I watched you push your husband onstage. I heard that something unfortunate happened to him last night, all of a sudden?"Delilah took the microphone from him and spoke in a calculated, choked voice, saying, "It's tr
"No… No! Don't do it! Just kill me outright, Delilah! Just kill me instead!" I screamed in despair, flailing my arms about as I tried to knock the syringe away.However, Delilah pounced on me with a sadistic grin on her face, pinning my arms behind my back."Come on, Ron. Be good and hold still. It won't hurt anymore after the injection," she breathed into my ear. "Didn't you say that you wanted to come with us to the awards ceremony? I'm just helping you realize your dreams."Tomorrow, you're going to be the quietest, most well-behaved, and most obedient prop in the entire venue."The cold needle pierced into the vein in my arm, and the liquid was mercilessly injected into my body."Ah—"She clamped a hand over my mouth, and I could only whimper softly in despair.Minutes later, I felt my body go limp, as if all of my strength had been drained out of my body. Delilah clapped her hands in glee when she saw my current state.She then grabbed the expensive wine from the table and
