Chapter 8

Author: Ivy
Just moments before I pulled the trigger, Elena suddenly walked over.

"As the victim, I have the right to one final check."

She didn't touch the gun. Instead, she walked up to me and opened her arms in an extremely hypocritical gesture of a hug.

"Ivy, don't be afraid. The Lord will protect you."

To everyone else, this looked like the victim forgiving the perpetrator.

However, when she leaned close to my ear with that sickly sweet perfume, her voice was like a venomous snake crawling out of hell:

"You fool, did you really think it was empty?"

"I switched out Alexander's men long ago. I had it fully loaded. Six bullets. Every one of them lethal."

"Go to hell. Don't worry, once you're dead, I'll send your old man down to join you. I'll have his limbs chopped up and fed to the dogs so the whole family can be reunited..."

The old me might have seen red and tried to kill her regardless of the consequences.

But in this moment, I was unusually calm.

I didn't push her away. Instead, I turned my head and gave Elena a smile so bright it was eerie.

"Is that so?" I whispered, my tone as gentle as if chatting with a best friend. "That's wonderful."

"Elena, thank you for everything. In return, I've prepared a big gift for you too... I hope you like it."

Elena froze.

Seeing my smile, a massive wave of unease rose in her heart. She thought I would go mad or scream, but my calm acceptance of death, mixed with mockery, terrified her.

"You..." She instinctively tried to back away. "What are you bluffing about!"

The moment she stepped back, I didn't give her a chance to think.

I looked at Alexander. The man was watching me nervously, waiting for that crisp click, waiting to "start fresh" with me.

"Goodbye, Alexander."

I mouthed the words to him soundlessly.

The next second, I shifted my wrist outward by an inch—imperceptible to others—avoiding the main artery of my heart, and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

Bang—!

The gunshot exploded in the enclosed chamber, deafeningly loud!

It wasn't empty!

Blood instantly bloomed on my chest, dying my white dress red.

The expression on Alexander's face froze.

The anticipation from a second ago turned into absolute terror and pallor. He let out a gut-wrenching roar: "Ivy—!!"

He lunged at me like a madman.

But I didn't give him the chance to touch my body.

The moment I fell, I pressed the micro-detonator hidden in my palm.

Boom—!

Just as Alexander was about to touch the hem of my dress, the floor shook violently!

Thick white smoke, accompanied by the explosion, instantly swallowed the entire chamber.

"Cough! Bomb! There's a bomb!"

"Protect the Don!"

The scene was chaos, with screams and coughing rising and falling.

In the blinding confusion, enduring the agonizing pain in my chest, I relied on my memory to agilely roll into a secret door in the corner.

Below it lay the underground river channel leading out of the manor, where a speedboat was already waiting.

Clutching my bleeding wound, I jumped into the dark chute.

Behind me, the sound of chain explosions rang out.

Fire swallowed everything.

The Ivy who loved Alexander finally died in this grand display of fireworks.

  • Don’s Frenzy of Regret After Her Death   Chapter 20

    (Alexander's POV)My hand grasped empty air.My fingertips only brushed a piece of flying skirt hem—the cold touch of silk, fleeting."Ivy—!!"I lay on the railing, watching helplessly as that patch of white fell, like a shooting star, smashing into the rolling black waves.The white foam churned once and vanished instantly.I didn't even think before trying to jump after her."Don! You can't!"Several trusted men behind me hugged my legs tightly, pinning me to the ground."Let me go! She's down there! She's in the water! She's afraid of the cold!"I roared, struggled, and smashed my head against the ground until blood flowed."Go save her! Whoever brings her up, I'll give them the whole family!"The search and rescue lasted seven full days.I mobilized all the family's helicopters and speedboats, even threatening the local navy to block off the entire sea area.I turned the Sicilian sea upside down.But the sea took my bride away.Except for that crystal high heel washed ashore, there

    (Ivy's POV)Gabriel was dead.His body was not far from me, dragged away by Alexander's men like trash.I didn't cry, nor did I scream.When Alexander carried me back to the castle, I was like a puppet with its power cut, letting the maids manipulate me.To cover the blood of Gabriel on my wedding dress, and to mask the pungent smell of blood, Alexander had me changed into a new custom-made wedding dress. This one was even more magnificent than the last, the skirt encrusted with three thousand crushed diamonds, so heavy I could barely stand.He also had them spray a large amount of perfume on me.The strong scent of roses mixed with the rusty smell of blood remaining on my skin was nauseating."Don't be afraid, Ivy."Alexander had changed into a clean black tailcoat and walked up to me. He squatted down and personally put the crystal-encrusted high heels on me.His palms were scalding hot, gripping my cold ankles tightly, as if afraid I would turn into smoke and vanish the next second.

    (Ivy’s POV)Early the next morning.Like a wooden puppet, I was dressed in that heavy wedding dress by several maids. They applied thick powder to my face, covering my pale complexion and eyes swollen from crying.According to family tradition, on the eve of the wedding, the groom must take the bride to the ancestral home on the mountaintop to offer incense to the spirits of past Godfathers.Alexander and I sat in the back of a bulletproof Lincoln.He wore a black suit today, his hair combed meticulously. Along the way, he held my hand tightly, his palm sweaty.He seemed nervous, yet excited, turning to look at me from time to time with a look of morbid satisfaction.The convoy traveled on the winding mountain road. On one side was a cliff face, on the other a precipice.Suddenly, a screech of brakes came from ahead.A heavy cement mixer truck rushed out from a side road without warning, smashing hard into the side of the lead car.Boom!The lead car was knocked flying, tumbling down t

    (Ivy’s POV)I was back in the ancient castle in Sicily.This time, there was no luxurious master bedroom, no servants attending to me. Alexander took me directly to a room deep in the basement.It used to be an interrogation observation room. One wall was a huge one-way mirror, facing directly into the adjacent cell filled with torture instruments."Sit."Alexander sat on the leather sofa in the center of the room. On the coffee table in front of him lay the familiar tablet, connected to the wall's sound system.He swirled half a glass of red wine in his hand.I stood warily at the door. "What are you doing?""Don't you love him?" He lifted his eyelids coldly and pressed the play button. "Then listen to his voice carefully."After a buzz of electric current, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly erupted from the speakers."Ah—!!"It was Gabriel's voice.Followed by the crisp sound of breaking bones, the sound of a whip tearing flesh, and heavy, muffled groans."Stop it!!" I threw myself at

    (Ivy’s POV)"Ivy!"An anxious cry broke the deadly silence.Gabriel pushed through the crowd and rushed over. He was still holding the bunch of holly he had just bought. The moment he saw Alexander, he froze, then immediately threw the flowers aside and shielded me with his body, regardless of the consequences."Don't touch her!"Gabriel's frame looked frail in front of these professional killers, but he didn't flinch, guarding me firmly.Alexander didn't even lift an eyelid.He just toyed absently with the reindeer figurine, glancing at Gabriel as if looking at trash."This is him?" Alexander chuckled lightly. "The doctor who took you from my bed?""Alexander, don't do anything rash!" I poked my head out from behind Gabriel, my voice trembling. "This is Norway! There are laws here! You can't...""Laws?" Alexander acted as if he had heard a joke.He raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.Four bodyguards moved instantly. Their speed was astonishing; before Gabriel could even t

    (Ivy’s POV)We settled in a small town called Tromsø in northern Norway.Located within the Arctic Circle, the winter nights here in December seemed endless.But this was exactly what I needed. The wind and snow here could cover all tracks.Gabriel found a job at the town's community clinic. He no longer held the scalpel famous in the medical world but bandaged frostbitten fingers for local fishermen or prescribed cough syrup for children with colds.I lived in a red wooden house not far from the clinic.Every morning before Gabriel left, he would make the fire in the fireplace very strong. He knew I was afraid of the cold, afraid of the chill seeping into my bones."The aurora index is high today," he said to me while wrapping his scarf that morning. "If the weather is good tonight, I'll take you to the top of the mountain to see it."He leaned in, wanting to kiss my forehead, but paused, eventually just rubbing my hair with restraint."Wait for me to come back for fish soup."After h
