Chapter 87 – The Only Way

(Brielle’s POV)

“Gen, what have you done?” I murmured in horror, gasping in disbelief and standing beside Bryce.

Bryce stood frozen in the doorway, his eyes widened and his mouth agape. His hands tightly gripped the knife handle, but he seemed unable to move it. He had probably tried to pull it out, but what he had witnessed inside the luxurious log house immobilized him.

Like Bryce, I was in a state of shock. We both stood there for what seemed like an eternity, trying to process what had just happened.

“Brielle, help me.”

Immediately, I wandered my eyes around the room, looking for Kione. She was sitting in the farthest corner of the room, almost like hiding. Her body shook as she sobbed, and when our eyes met, I felt a pang of sadness in my heart. Gen was on the couch, motionless, and her left arm was hanging limply on the floor. The blood on her wrist told us what had happened before we arrived.

Gen…

I could not believe Gen was dead.

“Oh, dear heaven! Kione, what have you done?”
