Chapter 5

Author: Anonymous
However, Clayton simply refused to take the ring from me. His face turned pale as he said, "You still don't believe that Gigi and I are innocent, do you? Where are you planning to go?"

Clayton grabbed hold of me rather forcefully and refused to let go.

"Clayton, let me go…"

His face kept getting closer and closer to me, his eyes turning bloodshot. "Let you go? So that you could leave me? Over my dead body! I'll never let that happen!"

Before I could reply, I suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind me.

"Clays, I brought you some chicken noodle soup…"

Gladys suddenly froze on the spot.

I could feel Clayton's grip on my hand loosen, so I quickly freed myself, shaking him off.

Gladys sure knew how to appear just at the right time.

She quickly recollected herself and brought in a container of food.

"Clays, I stayed up all night making this food and the soup for you. Have a taste."

She then held out her thumb and showed it to Clayton, a pout forming on her lips.

    I said nothing in reply. A long while later, Clayton reached into his pocket and retrieved a ring that he had forged again.I took a closer look at it and saw that he even had my name engraved inside the band."It's been three years, and I've been carrying this ring around with me ever since. I told myself that I would slide it back onto your finger if I ever saw you again."I kept regretting the fact that I hadn't been able to sort out my feelings for you back then and forced you to leave me."Lately, I keep recalling the past. Right at the beginning, when I stabbed you near the heart, you never even moved to avoid me. Instead, you kept telling me that you were worried about me."And then, we did a lot of things together. You even insisted on searching for me all day and night after I got into a huge accident during the race. I would have died then if it weren't for you."Tears began falling from his eyes and trickling down his cheek. However, I wasn't fazed in the slightest.

  • If He Wants Her, He Can Go Down With Her   Chapter 9

    I couldn't believe my eyes. I was really looking at Clayton again.The first thing he did to me as soon as we met again was to pick me up from the ground despite my protests. He brought me to a secluded area with nobody else in sight.He held onto both my wrists with one hand and kept repeating some mantra under his breath multiple times.I didn't know what was going on, so I kept struggling against him, trying to shake him off. However, a long time passed, and still, nothing happened.I was still standing there in front of him.Clayton's eyes turned bright red as he yelled into the air, "Why? Why isn't it working? You freaking lied to me!"A voice that sounded a lot like that of my own system spoke up and said, "I told you that it's useless unless she willingly wants to go back with you."I managed to make sense of the situation based on their short conversation with each other. Clayton must have made a pact with his system, giving him a chance to bring me back into his world

  • If He Wants Her, He Can Go Down With Her   Chapter 8

    Hailey's POVAfter I returned to my own world, I immediately got rid of my habit of reading novels in my free time.I was so worried that I would develop feelings for the characters in the novels again and end up transmigrating into the novel as the antagonist or some other pitiful character once more.Some time later, I heard one of my friends, Pattie Jensen, bring up that specific novel again. But this time, Clayton's and Gladys' stories had changed.Clayton was madly in love with Gladys at the start of the novel, but only until a new character named Hailey Paltrow appeared.Pattie sighed and said, "Look, the character doesn't just share your name. I think her personality is a lot like yours, too!"I felt my heart squeeze. However, I pretended to be calm about it."That's quite a coincidence. I never thought that I could be a side character in a book."Yet, Pattie kept chirping as she continued reading the novel. Over time, Clayton came to see that what he believed he felt

  • If He Wants Her, He Can Go Down With Her   Chapter 7

    Clayton's POVClayton was feeling unsettled, but he didn't know why exactly.The longer he stayed, the more uneasy he felt. Thus, he hurriedly grabbed his coat and decided to go home.Gladys couldn't help herself and stopped him from leaving. "What's the matter?"Clayton didn't want to waste time talking to her. He had already finished all the food that Gladys brought for him, and he just wanted to get home now as quickly as possible. After all, Hailey was still waiting for him there.Feeling restless, he retrieved his phone and pulled up the home surveillance feed, soon realizing that nobody was around. Hailey was gone; not even her shadow remained.Clayton's heart began thumping wildly in his chest. He suddenly felt as though something important was about to leave him.Gladys spoke up, trying to get him to stay."Clays, are you really going to abandon me and leave me alone here? Would you really do that? If so, I'm going straight home right now."Gladys was still confident

    Clayton froze for a couple of seconds before finally saying, "Then, wait at home for me. I'll be there in a bit. I won't care about her this time."He slid the ring back on my finger as he spoke, and I didn't fight back. He just assumed that I agreed with him.When he turned his back on me, however, I immediately pulled the ring back off and threw it into the trash can outside.I knew that Gladys wouldn't let him off the hook that easily.She would never marry Clayton, but she was extremely possessive of him.As expected, Clayton still hadn't returned home two hours later.The system appeared once more and said, "Hailey, it's time.""Let's go," I replied. "I tried my best to rewrite his fate, but maybe I'm just too powerless to make such a change. Nothing I ever did worked."So, instead of putting up with him, I might as well end my suffering now."I had started reading this novel while I was bored out of my skin one sunny afternoon in college. The sunrays were piercing into m
