Show's Over, Love's Over Chapter 8
John's POVLisseth—a person I thought I'd never see again—had reappeared, yet my heart didn't stir in the slightest. If anything, all I felt was disgust."What are you doing here?" I asked coldly. "Haven't I already told you that I won't marry you?"She froze momentarily at my words, then pressed her lips together. "In my heart, you've always been my husband. Besides, I've already divorced Donny. I can get married whenever I want."If that's what you've been upset about all this time, we can go get married right now. Let's go back to how things used to be, okay?"I almost laughed. Even now, she still thought I was just throwing a tantrum and being mad over her fake marriage to me. She likely would never understand the agony of being betrayed by both my wife and my own father.Shoving my anger down, I said, "Get married? I never said I wanted to marry you. And since there was never a marriage to begin with, let's just end things here."Lisseth stared at me with disbelief, seemi

John's POVAs the flames spread toward me, I instinctively escaped through the back door. The foolish thought I had was quickly replaced with complete disappointment in Lisseth and Dad.I frantically flagged down a cab and quickly left the place that had given me nothing but despair.When I checked my phone again, I realized that both Lisseth and Dad had believed that I'd died in the fire. While crying their eyes out, they'd also refused to give up and flooded the internet with missing person notices.Then, among the sea of posts, a former employee from the psychiatric hospital mentioned me and shared a number of gruesome photos."Why are you acting all heartbroken now? I watched Mr. Kaufman being electrocuted, drugged, and even beaten with my very own eyes. It's a miracle he's even alive today!"If I had to guess, it was definitely your bastard Donny Kaufman who arranged for people to do all that. I couldn't stand watching it, but I was powerless to stop it, and that was why I q

Third-Person POV"A high probability that he what?" Lisseth asked frantically.With no time to dwell on it, she hurried back to the family home. When she saw the familiar items scattered across the ground, the blood in her body ran cold."The shoes, the coat… They're all his."Gerard had rushed over right after receiving the news as well. Seeing the items, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground."W-What's going on here?" Lisseth stammered.The neighbors nearby immediately began talking over one another."We heard fighting inside the house earlier. It sounded like John had gotten into an argument with someone. Then the fire started. We never saw him escape."The words pushed Lisseth to the edge of a breakdown. "Why would anyone be here? I didn't allow anyone to come here!"Only then did she notice some porcelain shards nearby, as well as a badly defaced portrait. "Who on earth did this?"Instantly feeling guilty, Donny hurried forward and tried to shift the blame

Third-Person POVThick smoke billowed from the old house in the distance as neighbors fled in every direction."It was fine just a minute ago. How did it suddenly catch fire?"Following the voices, Lisseth looked up and froze. That was none other than the family home that belonged to John's mother."No, it can't be…"The thought had barely crossed her mind before she threw down the flowers in her hand and ran over.Gerard Kaufman stood there in shock. After all, he'd been the person who'd just purchased the property, solely to teach his son, John, a lesson.But flames were already roaring through the entire structure, and the fire was far too intense for anyone to get close.Lisseth had just taken a step forward when the smoke got so thick that she could barely breathe, and a falling beam nearly came crushing down on her.By the time the firefighters arrived, her voice was trembling uncontrollably."I heard someone is trapped inside," she said. "You have to search carefully."

John's POVTears spilled from my eyes, and a laugh nearly escaped me.The face of the woman in front of me, looking ever so menacing, could no longer overlap with the Lisseth Gabler I once knew.A flicker of resignation flashed through her eyes, as if she had suddenly remembered how hard I had cried the day I lost Mom."As long as you clear things up, I'll divorce Donny and marry you."But that was never what I cared about, Lisseth.I closed my eyes for a moment, feeling utterly despairing. Stumbling, I pushed her away and faced the cameras."Emma, Donny's mother, wasn't a homewrecker. My mother had mental issues and falsely accused them. I'm sorry…"Almost instantly, the internet exploded.Mom and I were pinned to a pillar of shame, and she was branded as the "crazy lady" on the very day of her death anniversary.Lisseth remained indifferent, while Dad, who had his arm wrapped around Emma, finally let out a sigh of relief.All of a sudden, Donny cried out in shock as he wav

John's POVEarly the next morning, I was woken up by a sudden blast of loud music outside the door.Finding the basement door unlocked, I stepped out and found that all Mom's photos and belongings had been entirely removed and replaced with festive decorations.When I emerged, looking disheveled and unkempt, the crowd immediately shot me strange looks."Isn't that the lunatic? How did he get out of the psychiatric hospital?""His father is getting married, and his brother is celebrating his birthday. It's a double celebration, so of course he has to make an appearance!""Isn't he worried about embarrassing Ms. Gabler? Looks like the Gabler family is about to have a new Mr. Gabler."Just then, Donny walked over wearing a tailored suit, his arm wrapped around Lisseth's slender waist."You've been through a lot, John. Even though you never liked my mother or me, we're family now. Let's get along peacefully from now on."On his finger was the Gabler family's family ring. Only the
