“I only regretted not listening to Lewis earlier!“You don’t deserve to live.”“Are you done?” Jack let out a cold laugh. “Then it’s my turn.”He grabbed the vase and swung it toward her head, but his knees suddenly buckled. The vase shattered against the floor with a sharp crash, and he collapsed on the broken shards. Blood spread quickly beneath him.“It wasn’t only in the food. I put the sleeping pills in the water too.“You don’t deserve to live. And neither do I. We both needed to face what we’ve done.”As she spoke, Alanna walked into the kitchen and turned on the gas.Jack tried to stop her, but he couldn’t even stand. His voice trembled as he begged her to forgive him, apologizing again and again.Alanna didn’t waver.He shifted to curses, but before long, his voice weakened, and he slumped into unconsciousness.Alanna reached into his pocket, took out his phone, and opened a livestream. Holding my photograph in her hand, she broadcast the truth.As confuse

During the days that followed, Jack carefully treated Alanna’s injuries. He applied medicine, cooked nourishing dishes, and even almost burned his own hand once. Aside from forbidding her from leaving the house, he obeyed her in everything.At first, Alanna avoided anything he touched, her expression dark and suspicious. But later, she seemed to accept it.On the day of my burial, Alanna turned on the TV.Lionel handled my funeral arrangements, and the event drew a great amount of attention.Many people came, which allowed several haters to slip in and cause trouble. Some pulled grotesque faces to amuse the crowd; others carried speakers and blasted comedic audio clips while live‑streaming the entire scene.To ensure the funeral proceeded smoothly, Lionel only warned them quietly and avoided escalating things.Watching his careful, strained expression filled me with a quiet sorrow. I was already dead, and in recent days I had endured relentless public condemnation. In t

Alanna’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief. “Jack, you weren’t like this before. You said you valued the race more than your own life.“You said you only wanted to win because of the pressure to end your career on a high.”Jack, visibly angered by her slap, sneered coldly. “Valued the race more than life? Ha, how could you believe something so foolish?“I’ve always been like this, Alanna. You were just too blind to see it.“Besides, no matter what I said, you still tampered with Lewis’s car! What does that make you now? A murderer pretending to be virtuous?”His expression twisted, cruel, and unhinged. Alanna’s lips trembled with fury.“You disgust me. I’m going to turn myself in. I’m going to tell them the truth!”Alanna turned to leave, but hadn’t taken two steps before Jack closed the distance in a few strides.She hurried to run, but he grabbed her by the collar and slammed her to the ground.He clenched his fist and struck her face violently. Her cheeks swelled inst

It was probably the first time Alanna had seen Jack so fierce and imposing. For a moment, she froze, her voice faltering.“I can’t stand it,” she said, her tone weak. “They’re all questioning Lewis’s past race results.”“So what?” Jack said softly, perhaps realizing he had spoken too harshly earlier. “Lewis is already dead. What outsiders say is their business. “What we have to do is look after ourselves. You’ve barely escaped suspicion. No matter what happens, don’t wade into this mess again.”Alanna’s tone rose with uncharacteristic emotion. “But Lewis never did any of those things! If I don’t defend him, more people will slander him, and all the effort he put in will become a joke.“We only wanted to make him lose this championship, and he ended up dying horribly. “How can we ignore the lies about him? He wouldn’t rest in peace if we stayed silent.”I leaned back in a nearby chair, astonished that Alanna could say such things. I had assumed she felt nothing over m

Alanna’s struggles were achingly real. To outsiders, combined with Jack’s words, she appeared like a bereaved family member, wracked with grief after losing someone profoundly close.No one suspected she was the mastermind. No one noticed the subtle riddles they exchanged in silence.Jack remained quiet, a flicker of something unreadable passing through his gaze. His lips parted, then closed again; in the end, he said nothing.He had only been brought in for fighting and had no evidence linking him to the incident.Lionel and Jack were released shortly after accepting mediation.The moment Jack stepped outside, he immediately made a phone call. I couldn’t hear it myself, but I guessed he had contacted the organizers.Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Alanna was released, no matter how adamant Lionel remained about her having caused my death.Without conclusive evidence, and with the organizers confirming that the in-car camera had malfunctioned during the crash and remain

Alanna acted as if she hadn’t heard anything. Her gaze stayed fixed on the video, her eyes reddening as if stirred by some unspoken thought.Lionel had only guessed half of it. The call had indeed been for Alanna, but not because I had discovered her tampering.To be honest, until the very second before I dialed, I never suspected she wanted to harm me.When the call connected, I told Alanna that I might die, that I would try to survive, but if something truly happened to me, she should forget me and live well.Unfortunately, I managed only the first sentence before Alanna cut me off.“Stop. I know you’ve already figured it out, but I had no choice. “Winning this rally doesn’t mean much to you, but Jack is about to retire—this is his last chance.“I only touched your gearbox. You wouldn’t be able to accelerate, but it was still enough for you to finish safely.”The words I had prepared died in my throat. Even at that moment, I still struggled to believe Alanna would do t
