Chapter 4

Penulis: Riri Ann
No matter what I did, I couldn't touch them. Despair and helplessness washed over me as I slumped to the ground.

Isaac took Mandy to the hospital for a checkup. While they waited, Liam cautiously approached Isaac. "Mr. Thornton, now that Miss Robinson is safe, please release Mrs. Thornton."

Isaac's sharp gaze fell on Liam. "Liam, aren't you interfering too much? Or do you have feelings for Nicole, making you plead for her?"

Liam avoided Isaac's gaze. "Mr. Thornton, I'm just worried about Mrs. Thornton. A woman alone at the bottom of the ocean is dangerous."

Isaac scoffed. "You may not know, but she's an excellent swimmer. She's even gone deep-sea diving with friends." But Isaac, you locked me in an iron cage! What good was my swimming skill then?

Liam started to leave, but Isaac called him back. Liam stopped, hopeful.

"Call the guards. Tell Nicole that if she agrees to donate a kidney to Mandy, I'll let her go." Liam immediately called.

Was it finally happening? I thought bitterly. Would Isaac cry if he found out I was dead?

The guard replied, "Mr. Thornton, Mrs. Thornton said that even if you kept her locked up for life, she wouldn't donate a kidney to Miss Robinson. She wants Miss Robinson dead."

    He watched the cage disappear beneath the waves, then, as if the ocean itself had finally claimed him, Isaac fell back, murmuring, "Nicole, justice is served. Can you forgive me?"No. I hope we never meet again in another life.Isaac left a will, donating all his wealth to charity in my name. He asked Ashley to bury his ashes with mine.Ashley buried me in the city's best cemetery. She cremated Isaac and Mandy, scattering their ashes in a pauper's field."You two deserve each other. May you never hurt anyone again."Ashley, thank you for everything. We'll be friends again in our next life.A breeze blew, and my soul vanished.

    I watched his self-destruction with cold indifference. His pain was nothing compared to mine.He stumbled to my body, blood streaming from his head, his eyes filled with hatred. "Nicole, everyone who hurt you will pay."You were the one who hurt me most, Isaac.He cremated me but kept my ashes. That night, he captured the goons. Tortured, they confessed Mandy had tampered with my oxygen tank. She was never sick; it was all a plot to kill me.Isaac listened to Liam's report, nodding calmly before dismissing him. Screams echoed from the interrogation room. The goons were dead.The next day, he orchestrated a car accident that killed my father and stepmother. He watched the car burn, then drove away.He went to Mandy's hospital."Isaac, you're finally here! I've been waiting," she said, rushing to him.His gaze was icy. "Sorry to keep you waiting."She didn't notice. "Isaac, Nicole's gone. Nothing can stop us now.""Yes," he said. "She's gone.""Mandy, come with me."He took h

    Five days after my death, Ashley learned what happened. She stormed in, punching and kicking Isaac."You monster!" she screamed. "You killed Nicole! I'll make you pay!"Isaac stood silently, taking the beating."Your family went bankrupt, Mandy ran off, and Nicole, without hesitation, married you and helped you rebuild your life," Ashley raged. "But you killed her for that woman! Nicole saved you at sea, and you let her die there! You're worse than an animal!"Isaac looked up sharply. "What? Nicole saved me at sea, not Mandy?"That summer after graduation, we went to the beach. Isaac got caught in a rip current. I risked my life to save him, collapsing on the beach from exhaustion. I woke up to Mandy telling me she and Isaac were dating. Mandy had stolen my credit as his savior.Ashley scoffed. "You thought Mandy saved you? She can't swim!" She slapped him again.Isaac collapsed, muttering, "How... how could this be...?"Ashley went to my body, tears falling as she looked at my

    Liam repeated, "Mr. Thornton, your wife is really dead. Don't you recognize the birthmark on her arm?"Isaac looked again at her forearm. There was a crescent-moon shaped birthmark.Tears welled up in his eyes. I floated before him, watching his reddened eyes. I was surprised he was crying. He hadn't even given me a chance to speak before throwing me into the ocean to die. Who is this performance for now?Isaac held my body."Nicole, open your eyes and look at me. If you open your eyes, I won't divorce you. I won't care about you cheating on me.""Just open your eyes and live. We'll be like before. I'll agree to anything…""Nicole, I'm sorry, I know I'm wrong. I won't yell at you anymore. I won't leave you alone again. Please wake up…"But the corpse, of course, didn't react.Liam said, "Mr. Thornton, your wife is dead."Isaac roared, "She's not dead! She's just angry, that's why she's ignoring me!"Isaac took my body home, buying an expensive cryogenic bed and placing me o

    Isaac said, "Then we'll wait until she has the baby, then she can donate her kidney. I'll have my mother raise the child." Mandy was finally satisfied.After Mandy fell asleep, Isaac impatiently checked his watch. "Two hours have passed, why aren't they here yet?" He called the bodyguard guarding me, but the phone went straight to voicemail. Panic flashed across his face. He quickly called his assistant, Liam. He said he'd agreed to let me go and told Liam to pick me up from the beach.After hanging up, Isaac unconsciously pulled out a pack of cigarettes and lit one after another. Isaac rarely smoked. Was he worried about me? But I quickly dismissed the thought. If he cared, he wouldn't have left me at the bottom of the ocean for two nights. Forget the lack of oxygen; even with plenty of oxygen, a normal person locked in a cage underwater that long wouldn't stand a chance.Soon, the smoke filled the room, choking Mandy awake. She coughed repeatedly. Isaac was about to tend t

    A red welt bloomed across Isaac's cheek where Ashley had slapped him. In a flash, he seized her arm and slammed her against the wall. "Security! Get her out of here!"I reached for Ashley without thinking, forgetting I couldn't touch her. All I could do was watch helplessly as she crumpled from the impact. Before she could get her feet under her, two guards burst in and yanked her up by her arms."How can you be so heartless?" Ashley shouted, struggling against their grip. "You'd make Nicole donate a kidney while she's carrying your child?"Isaac froze. "What did you just say?"Ashley wrenched one arm free. "She's pregnant with your baby, you monster!" Her voice cracked with fury. "Even wild animals protect their young, but you're worse than any beast!"Seeing Isaac hesitate, Mandy quickly said, "Isaac, that baby's definitely not yours. Remember those videos?"Isaac recovered himself. "Yeah, Nicole's such a floozy. Who knows whose kid it is?"Isaac, you bastard! Bastard! I loved
