The day before Chris Carter and I were supposed to get engaged, my parents sent me to prison. Three years later, when I was finally released, Chris was the only one who came to pick me up. I knew he despised me. I trembled, keeping my head down, hoping to slip away unnoticed. But he blocked my path, frowning. “Emily York? You stink.” He pinched his nose and told me to get in the car. I fell to my knees, desperately begging him not to take me home. If he did, I would die. He looked at me with chilling indifference and said, “Then go ahead and die.” I agreed. But later, he cried and begged me to stay alive.

"I’m so tired."Every day since I was diagnosed with depression, it felt like my soul was weighed down, so heavy that I could barely breathe.I took his hand and placed it on my wrist, letting him feel the raised, jagged scars.“See? There were so many times I wanted to end it. Now, that wish is finally coming true.“Can’t you just let me go?“Can you help me, just this one last time?”He broke down in tears, burying his face in my neck.He promised to send Jo away. He promised to let me go and let me quietly wait for the end.Just before I closed my eyes, I forced a smile. “Chris, I’ve always hated you the most.”He thought that by uncovering the truth, by finding evidence that Lily had framed me, he could earn my forgiveness.But time would not rewind, and the pain would not just disappear.So I took my final revenge. I made him watch me die, powerless to stop it.My soul felt lighter as it floated up.I watched him below, cradling my lifeless body in agony.I leaned my

Jo was livid when she heard this.She grabbed my mom by the hair and slapped her hard across the face. “Repayment? Hasn’t she already paid enough?“Emily told me you handed her over to Steve. That should have been the end of it.“And now you’re here, trying to guilt-trip her with this ‘debt’? Who do you think you’re fooling?”My mom was stunned and stammered, “Lily…”But Jo didn’t let her finish and slapped her again. “If you dare to bother Emily again, I swear I’ll knock your teeth out!”After a few more slaps, my mom’s face was red and swollen, and she couldn’t get another word out.Jo then shoved her out the door and added a few more words to the sign: “No entry for Chris Carter or the three dogs of the York family!”I couldn’t help but laugh, but it turned into a coughing fit.Jo gently rubbed my back and said with a distant look, “Emily, you really are my little Emily.”……Before I was three, I lived in an orphanage, and there was an older girl who always took care of m

Chris even hired a lawyer to reduce my sentence to three years. And yet, he still believed I was the one who was heartless, that I threw away a good life just to have Steve humiliate Lily.He thought three years in prison would teach me a lesson.I let out a bitter laugh. “Chris, I’ve finally realized today that you’re not just arrogant, you’re a complete idiot!“You really think I wanted to hurt Lily? For what reason?“My parents have favored her over me for years, and I never did anything to her. Why would I try to ruin her life right before our wedding in such an obvious way?“I’m the one who’s pathetic. I wasted so many years loving someone like you!“Chris, the biggest regret of my life is meeting you!”I laughed so hard that I started coughing up blood.Jo stormed in and shoved Chris to the ground.“Get out!” she yelled, her eyes blazing with fury as she practically threw him out of the room.Then she hit the call button for the nurse.It was only then that Chris snapp

But I still couldn’t hold on.Suddenly, I hated Chris so much.If he hadn’t sent me back, I could have found a quiet place to live. Maybe I wouldn’t have ended up like this.Jo turned around and saw me, angrily wiping away her tears. “Emily York! You promised me you’d stay alive! You said you’d wait fo
