Chapter 6

作者: Redleaves
As the plane began its descent into Sicily, the setting sun was sinking slowly into the horizon over the sea.

Thick orange-red clouds piled up where sea met sky, as if heaven itself were on fire.

The blood-red countdown burned my eyes like fire too: 21 hours, 57 minutes.

I looked out the window, and the corners of my lips curved faintly.

At last, I had made it to Sicily after all.

It was the place I had wanted to come to most in ten years.

It was also the place Victor had promised to take me for

  • Realizing I’m the Villainess, I Chose to Die Alone   Chapter 12

    I froze for a split second.The sea wind stilled for a moment.Victor lifted his head, the red veins in his eyes spreading like a web of cracks."You think there's no way out because you haven't learned to do whatever it takes."His voice shook, but it came faster and faster."The system is erasing you because you gave up the mission. So what if—"He stopped.As if, once the next words were out, there would be no turning back.Countdown: 27 seconds."What if..."Victor stared at me, one word at a time."What if the system rules that the target of the mission no longer exists?"He drew the gun at his waist and held it out to me. "Kill me."For a second, the air seemed to empty out.I stepped back without meaning to. "You're insane, Victor!"He gave a small smile."I made a mistake I can never undo. I have a debt to pay.""If you die, I'll follow you into death for certain. So I'd rather use my life to save yours."Countdown: 17 seconds.I shook my head hard. "No! This isn't the fate the

    Looking out at the sea, Victor began to explain.His voice was like an old recording, threaded with the hiss and crackle of aging machinery.Some words dropped away entirely, like pages that had been soaked in water."You only read the first half. It's true, I came to you with a lie.""After I awakened, I knew I could never have Viviana, and that you would hurt her someday.""And most of all, I couldn't change any of it.""Why not?" I said with a cold laugh. "A Don like you could have someone taken out without lifting a finger.""It seems you don't know the system's other rule."Victor looked at me. "You and Viviana are bound together. If you die, she dies, and the same the other way around."I froze.I had never imagined this was the reason."To protect Viviana, my only choice was to get close to you, to watch you.""I admit that was what I set out to do. Until a year ago..."His eyes reddened, tears glinting at the corners. "I realized I had fallen in love with you.""I wrote it in t

  • Realizing I’m the Villainess, I Chose to Die Alone   Chapter 10

    I stood at the end of the beach, watching the seagulls soar over the water.The blood-red countdown ticked coldly in front of me: 17 minutes, 27 seconds.The setting sun was sinking slowly into the horizon.It wasn't only Sicily's sunset. It was mine too.The next second, footsteps came from behind me.Heavy. Urgent.Like someone had run all the way from the end of the world.I didn't turn. I knew who it was.He had found me after all. Victor.Victor stopped ten steps away and came no closer.As if one wrong step would lose me for good.When he spoke, his voice was hoarse. "S-Scarlett..."I glanced at him and said nothing.His throat bobbed. "Come home with me."I smiled. "Victor, leave me be."I looked straight into his eyes. "It's the last thing you can do for me."He faltered, then walked over and sat down beside me.I stood and turned to leave."Scarlett, I know you read my diary."My steps paused, then I kept walking."But I'm certain you didn't read all of it."My steps stopped.

    [Victor's POV]When the plane landed in Sicily, day was just breaking.Victor practically flew down the stairs.He had never been in such a hurry, and never been so afraid.The car raced toward the south shore.Beside him, the advisor kept refreshing Scarlett's location on the tracker."The last signal was at a seaside guesthouse, but that was already five hours ago.""Five hours." Victor repeated it, then added, "She wouldn't leave me."But the next second, even he didn't believe it.Before the car had fully stopped outside the guesthouse, Victor had already jumped out.He kicked the door open.The old owner stumbled back a step in fright."This girl, is she still here? Is she here?"Victor held up a photo of Scarlett, all but shouting the question.The old woman frowned. "She checked out.""When?""Three hours ago."A roar filled Victor's head, and his mind went blank.Like something had been pulled out of his body.He forced himself to stay calm."Did she say where she was going?"T

    [Victor's POV]One day earlier.Victor stood in the study, gulping down whiskey.He had made thirty-seven calls in a row.Every one unanswered.The advisor knocked softly, lowered his head, and said timidly,"All our soldiers are out searching. No sign of the Donna yet."Victor didn't answer. He just stared at his phone screen.In that moment, he suddenly realized Scarlett wasn't "angry," and she wasn't giving him the silent treatment.She was disappearing.Slipping out of his world, little by little.He raised a hand and pressed the space between his brows. "Keep looking.""And..." the advisor added carefully, "the Donna's medical report just came in.""Why am I only hearing this now?" Victor said coldly. "Why did it take so long?""The hospital kept citing privacy. I had to pull three layers of favors just to get it...""Enough. Go, keep searching for her."Victor cut the advisor off and took the copy of the medical report.Unable to reach Scarlett, he had clung to one last thread of

  • Realizing I’m the Villainess, I Chose to Die Alone   Chapter 7

    I was woken by the gentle sunlight on my face.Before I even opened my eyes, the blood-red countdown was already floating in front of me.10 hours, 17 minutes.The numbers ticked quietly, like a dull blade pressed between my breaths.Yet all at once my heart went calm.Every second from here was so precious that I had no time left for grief.After washing up, I took a small booklet from the very bottom of my suitcase.The cover was worn now.It was the honeymoon plan Victor and I had made together three years ago.The first page: [Go to Sicily.]I picked up a pen and drew a light check mark beside it.The second page was the seaside church; the third was watching the Mediterranean sunset together...I turned through it page by page, like flipping through a memory already dead but still warm.The last page.[Marry Victor.]I looked at that line, smiled, and crossed it out with the pen.The paper gave a faint rustle, like the last words of everything Victor and I had been.I murmured to
