LOGINAfter five years of keeping the demon sealed away, I finally saw my sister again—inside a coffin, her body mangled beyond recognition. The men carrying the coffin were whispering to each other. "She died like this, and nobody even investigated? Isn't her brother-in-law some big shot?" "Shh! She's only his sister-in-law. How could she matter more than his new lover? Mr. Smith even helped cover the whole thing up!" "His ex-wife has been dead for five years. Ms. Sophia runs the house now!" "They say the wedding is tomorrow, and it's going to be huge!" For five years, I'd stayed in a graveyard, keeping a demon sealed away for my husband, Victor Smith. Meanwhile, he'd found another woman to replace me. Worse, he'd stood by while she erased every trace of my existence and tortured my only sister for years. When my sister finally tried to escape and come looking for me, Sophia ran her over and killed her. I stroked what remained of my sister's face and smiled. I'd given up everything to protect Victor. This was how he repaid me. Fine. Then I'll stop protecting him. It's time to let the demon have him.
View MoreWe returned to the cellar beneath the castle.Pieces of Lily's body had been placed in the corners of the room.I carefully put her back together, one piece at a time.The priest spoke quietly, "Adding Ms. Lily's body will make the seal even stronger."I answered coldly, "With me here, the seal is already unbreakable."I drew the silver dagger and slashed my wrist.My blood flowed into the center of the golden pattern on the floor. A faint glow spread through the matching patterns on all four walls.I looked at Victor."After what happened to Lily, after so many witches in my family died because of your family, you had the nerve to come down here with me?"Victor quickly ducked behind the priest and yanked the silver scarab amulet from around his neck."Of course I did. Did you think I would come unprepared? This is the amulet you gave me when we got married. I had the priest take it to an archmage for a blessing. Nothing can hurt me while I have it! Luca, summon the demon! Let it devo
"Darling, I've dealt with Sophia. Are you happy now?"Victor blew on the smoking barrel without even glancing at the bride lying on the floor.Wasn't she supposed to be the woman he loved most?I narrowed my eyes at him."Happy? Why should my feelings matter? Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"Victor looked completely unfazed."I'm sorry, Wendy. Sophia still has parents and relatives. If killing her isn't enough, I can destroy them too and make sure they spend the rest of their lives in the slums. Abel was wrong too. You're his mother, so however you want to punish him, I'll support you."My expression didn't change."And you?"Victor smiled faintly."Can you really bring yourself to hurt me? You love me too much. All you have to do is say yes, and everything will go back to the way it was."Abel quickly joined in, forcing a smile. "Mom, that evil woman tricked me! If you'd been home over the past few years, I never would've been fooled by her. I missed Aunt Lily too."His words soun
Victor froze, then pressed the gun even harder against my forehead.I didn't even flinch.I wiped the blood from my lips and stood up straight."Why aren't you shooting, darling?"The black soul-flower markings had reached my forehead, covering my entire body.No one dared to make a sound.I took a step toward Victor.His eye twitched. He stepped back, his face turning deathly pale."Wendy? How can it be you? Then where's Lily? Did she run away?"I smiled faintly."Didn't Sophia tell you? Lily tried to escape, so Sophia ran her down and killed her. Then she had someone send her body to me."Sophia immediately snapped back, "You're lying! I was busy preparing for the wedding. I didn't do anything! Lily jumped off a building and was smashed to pieces when she hit the ground!"I sneered, "So you know Lily's body was smashed to pieces. Who told you that?"Sophia opened her mouth, but no words came out.Victor frowned."I warned you a long time ago. You could torture her all you wanted, but
Everyone went still.Abel looked confused too."Dad, didn't you say Mom was the Great Witch before she died?"Victor smiled."Look at her skin. Only the current Great Witch gets those soul-flower markings when her emotions run high. Wendy must have died. That means her title automatically passed to Lily."I looked straight at him and asked, "So Wendy's death doesn't surprise you at all?"Victor raised an eyebrow."Of course not. That cellar wasn't just warded to keep the demon sealed. It was poisoned too. I never intended to let Wendy come out alive! The demon needed someone to keep it sealed, and every bit of a witch's power had to go toward making my family richer and more powerful!"He smirked at me."Wendy protected you too well. She never told you the truth, did she? If you'd known, you should've run the moment you inherited her power instead of coming here to ruin my wedding. The world is huge. If you'd run, I wouldn't have even known where to start looking for you!"With that, h
