Chapter 7 It Was All a Facade

Penulis: Silly Cat
"That bastard! How dare he cheat on you! Lena, I'll show you how I'm going to punish him!"

Then, I pretended to be blinded by rage as I rose from my seat, fully ready to find the driver to have him turn the car around. "I'm going to the police station to report him! I want him to lose standing!"

Shane quickly pulled me back to my seat and held me tightly in his arms. Even though his warm breath brushed against my neck, only chills ran down my spine.

"W-What's wrong, Shane? Let me go first. I…" My voice was already laced with an evident quiver.

Yet, Shane seemed oblivious. He buried his face in the crook of my neck and took a deep breath.

"I want to hold you a little longer, Lena. Just hold on a little longer, because… we might not have the chance to stay like this again later."

His words were like a death sentence.

Immense rage and sorrow sprang from the depths of my heart as I fully grasped the situation.

I immediately raised my hand and slapped his face hard with all my might

    "Shut up! Behave yourself!" Evan twisted Shane's arm hard, causing him to scream in pain."On what grounds?! Let me go! She ruined Sunny's life! She destroyed the person I loved most! I want her to pay with her life!""What did you say?"Shane looked at my pale face and suddenly laughed maniacally."Bitch, I was the one who had photoshopped that photo you saw at your wedding! I hired the best photo editor and an actor who looked a lot like him, took that photo, and had Sunny 'accidentally' show it to you! “I wanted to destroy the last shred of trust you have in this world! I wanted to make you get forsaken by everyone and taste the suffering Sunny went through! You'd ruined her life, and I'm going to make you pay with yours! I'm going to kill you, bitch!"I was so fed up with his cursing that I shut Shane up by slapping him hard across the face.His actions and words bewildered me. Clearly, he was the psychotic one who distorted facts and disregarded human lives. Yet, he stil

    He paused briefly before gazing at me."Also, the yoga strap Sunny used to tie your hands was tied in a reinforced snake knot. It's nearly impossible for you to break free from it. Plus, it's usually used for strapping heavy objects instead of for daily practice. You're very lucky, Lena. You've escaped death twice."With that, Evan took Sunny away.…On the other hand, I didn't feel the slightest relief from his words. I trembled as I struggled to crack open the actual walnut with my teeth and tied-up hands.Once it was open, I saw nothing else but three words, "Who is he?", written in blood inside.My mind was a complete mess as I pondered the meaning behind the clue. 'Who is he? Could it be Sunny's accomplice? But she seems to be sinking and swimming all alone. Wait—'I suddenly recalled Sunny hugging me and crying when Evan searched for me frantically after I ran away from the wedding back then. She told me how I shouldn't blame Evan and that he probably, just like all men, c

  • Grandma's Last Three Walnuts   Chapter 5 The Walnut Had Been Swapped

    Something amusing seemed to have crossed her mind, for she started bursting into laughter."Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. I'd swapped that walnut you smashed a long time ago."When I heard what Sunny said, my mind went blank with a buzz. Blood rushed to my head, and a piercing cold ran through every part of my body."What did you say? The walnut had been swapped?" I sobbed incoherently.Sunny admired the despairing look on my face and gently traced the tip of her knife across my cheek."That's right. I'd long thrown away your precious walnut. The note inside that said, 'Smash all the mirrors.'? I was the one who wrote it. Why? Because that secret room and dead body were all 'surprises' I prepared for you. “I wanted the police to discover a dead body in your house! I wanted to make you unable to defend yourself and lose your reputation! Say, would your lunatic Grandma be so angry that she'd come back to life if she knew about this in the afterlife?"I was so overwhelmed

    When I read the message, I felt as if I had been struck by lightning.A sense of absolute terror crawled in my chest as I stared at Sunny's smiling face, which I knew so well.When she noticed that I hadn't touched my fork, she asked with concern, "What's wrong, Lena? Is it not to your liking?"Then, she reached out to feel my forehead. However, I jerked away as if I'd been electrocuted.Sunny's smile froze on her face. Her gaze gradually turned cold when she noticed the message on my phone screen that hadn't been turned off just yet. A sneer played on her lips as she remarked, "What a bunch of good-for-nothings. It took so long for them to find that little detail."With that, she snatched my phone and smashed it on the floor. The screen instantly shattered into pieces."I was actually going to let you live a few more days, but it seems there's no need for that now."I used all my strength and screamed as I rushed toward the door.However, Sunny was faster, and she beat me

    My legs buckled, and I collapsed on the floor. My stomach twisted violently, and I threw up until everything went black around the edges. I crawled out of the bedroom and somehow managed to call the police, fingers trembling so hard I could barely hold my phone. Terror squeezed my chest until I could barely form a sentence."H-Hello... 911? Someone's been killed... There's a dead body... in my house..." The operator kept me calm, asked for my address, and stayed on the line. Sirens grew louder, rushing toward my house. Local officers arrived first.One look inside that hidden room turned their faces white. They sealed the scene instantly and called it up the chain.… Minutes later, a team of detectives in black uniforms filed in—all sharp eyes and tight jaws. Leading them was the man I spent three years running from. My waking nightmare—Evan Cole. He stopped cold when he saw me, just for a split second. Then, his expression clicked back to businesslike and unread
