Chapter 5

Author: Guava Wood
Daniel stood frozen for a moment before icily saying, "Ed, how could you be tricked by Helen too? I've really underestimated her. Even a cop like you got played like a fool!"

Uncle Ed was caught off guard by his tone. "Daniel, what's going on with you? Didn't you usually adore Helen the most?"

He paused momentarily before continuing, "We received a report today. Human remains were found in the mountains where Stewart Villa is located. We've confirmed that the deceased person is Helen.

"She's dead. She's been dead for over a year. She had brain cancer when she was alive and suffered unspeakable pain. In the end, she couldn't take it anymore and jumped off a cliff."

Daniel cut him off. "Impossible. It can't be her! You must have made a mistake!"

"The results don't lie. As her legal guardian, you have to come identify her remains." Uncle Ed chided him for a while more before hanging up.

As if disconcerted, Daniel stayed silent with his lips pressed tight.

  • The Death That Drove Him Insane   Chapter 12

    Despite his numerous attempts to escape, Daniel gave up after realizing there was no way out.He suffered from relentless insomnia night after night until it finally pushed him into a deep depression.Although the people watching him treated him well, they also monitored him almost every moment of the day. He couldn't even take his own life.Meanwhile, Grandpa was happily preoccupied with his young wife and paid no attention to him.Daniel was already skin and bones by the time Grandpa finally remembered him. Despite everything, he was still Grandpa's son. Seeing Daniel like that broke his heart, but he didn't know how to make it up to him either.Yet, Daniel didn't want any compensation. All he wanted was to find my ashes. It had been so long since he last felt my presence. Perhaps he thought it was just because my ashes were no longer with him. What he didn't know was that I had finally been freed the moment Jennifer flushed my ashes down the toilet.In my final moments,

    Daniel's eyes were bloodshot with rage. Pointing at Jennifer, he snapped, "She's nothing but a shameless bitch! We're not even officially divorced yet. How could you—"Before he could even finish, Grandpa slapped him hard across the face. "Get lost, you ungrateful bastard! Settle the divorce case today. I'm marrying her the moment it's done."The metallic taste of blood filled Daniel's mouth. He hadn't expected this frail old man to pack such a punch. It seemed that this was Jennifer's doing.Still, he didn't see her as an actual threat. There was no way he would let her carry Grandpa's child. What kind of influence could she have? Once he got rid of her, Grandpa would have no choice but to rely on his only son.Yet, he was dead wrong. Jennifer had finally seized her lifeline, so how could she easily let go? She had made the preparations beforehand by secretly contacting several of Daniel's old enemies.This time, those enemies finally got the opening they had been waiting for.

    "How dare you!" Hearing Jennifer's words finally snapped Daniel back to his senses. "Could it be that Helen had suffered even more without my knowledge?" Daniel mumbled to himself."No! I couldn't die now! I had to make every single person who ever hurt me pay back, especially Jennifer, the culprit who started it all!"Daniel pulled himself together, and Grandpa finally allowed him to leave the house.The first thing he did was to rush home. My ashes had been placed there for a month. He was afraid that I would be terrified, since I was timid.To his shock, the ashes were gone. The first thing that came to mind was Jennifer. She was the only one who would take the one thing he cared about most. His call proved him right. It was her, after all!"Want the ashes back? Sure, but don't you ever talk to me about divorce again. I will be the wife of Stewart Group's CEO!"With that, she hung up. It didn't matter whether Daniel still loved her or not. Given that things had already turne

    "Who gave you the right to hurt her like that? You can go to hell and beg for her forgiveness!" Daniel roared. With all the strength he had, he slammed Jennifer heavily against the wall behind her.She wailed in pain as she shielded her stomach, whispering, "Dan, our baby…"A pool of blood spread beneath her. She gazed at him in despair before passing out. Yet, he didn't seem to notice it. He simply let go and had her slump into the pool of blood.He dropped to his knees, staring blankly out the window. Moments later, he broke down in tears.When his crying finally stopped, he turned his head toward me. His sudden movement startled me—I almost thought he could see me.Yet, he looked away after a moment. He knelt there and muttered, "It's my fault, Helen. I wronged you. If only I had the guts to admit how I felt back then... I was a coward! Don't worry. I won't let anyone who has hurt you get away with it. Helen, I swear I'll cherish you in the next life!"He glanced in my directi

    "Dan, you've been fooled by Helen! Her kindness was all an act! You took her in and raised her like your family, but she ended up having feelings for you. The way she looked at you was truly possessive. She wanted to come between us and steal you away from me!" Jennifer seethed.The more she spoke, the more agitated she became, like I had truly been some terrible, manipulative person.Yet, Daniel stood up and shoved her away. "You're still lying at this point, Jennifer! I already know everything. I'm done believing you. For the sake of our child, I won't make this ugly. Just leave. Once the child's born, I'll have someone pick them up and bring them to my manor."Jennifer collapsed to her knees, unable to process what she had just heard. Then, after a moment, she started laughing. "Daniel, are you blaming me for everything I did? You were the one who allowed these to happen, didn't you?""Nonsense! Why would I ever allow you to hurt Helen?"She turned to face him, staring straight

  • The Death That Drove Him Insane   Chapter 7

    Daniel was a proud man who always thought he had everything under control. Yet, when something slipped through his grasp like this, he was bound to be furious.I could feel it. The closer we got to home, the stronger that rage grew. As soon as he opened the front door, his face turned frosty.Jennifer was having some chicken soup on the couch while chatting with her family. Seeing Daniel walk in, her eyes turned teary, and she stopped drinking her soup.Her family noticed his cold expression and immediately looked displeased. One of them said, "Jennifer's due any day now, Dan. Everything must go smoothly at this stage. Take good care of her.""She loves you a lot and always puts you first. You'd better not let her down!" another chimed in.They all started lecturing him one after another. Daniel didn't say a word and headed straight to his bedroom. When he came out again, he only said one thing to Jennifer. "Make them leave, or leave with them."Tears rolled down her cheeks. Afte
