Deserved Punishment.

Anna, even now, you're still lying!" Gerald's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at her. This woman was beyond help! in the past five years, if she had once acknowledged her mistakes and asked for forgiveness, he would have given her a chance to make amends. But no, she remained stubborn, showing no sign of remorse.

Anna pressed her hands against the cold ground, the chill seeping into her heart. The pain in her lower abnomen was worsening, and she clutched it tightly, her face pale. "Gerald, I didn't, I..."

I'm in so much pain... But before she could voice it, Gerald interrupted her harshly. He tossed a phone at her, looking down at her from above. "Anna, you can repent here. call me when you're done."

"Don't think about leaving. it's getting dark, and there aren't many cars around here. You won't get far! Just admit your mistakes, and I'll come to get you."

Anna looked at him in disbelief. Didn't he know she had just lost a child and couldn't handle the cold, let alone the pouring rain? "Gerald, I just lost the baby last night, I..."

"Don't use baby as an excuse, Anna, losing the baby won't kill you."

Anna's face was ghostly white, unable to believe the words coming from him. She shook her head repeatedly. "Gerald, you can't do this to me..."

"Hah!" Gerald gave her one last cold look before stepping out of the cemetery.

"Gerald... Gerald!"Anna called out desperately to his retreating figure, but he didn't look back once.

Thunder rumbled overhead, and Anna's face was pale as blood started to seep between her legs, staining the ground. The rain couldn't wash away the vivid color of the blood. She sat there, dazed, like a soulless puppet, unable to feel the pain. How did it come to this?

Gerald's last words echoed in her mind, "You won't die..." so, just because she wouldn't die, she could be tortured like this?

Gerald, is it only if i die that you will listen me? only then will you believe i didn't harm the Tayler family?

...

Gerald got into his car, the rain outside pouring down harder. He frowned, thinking about how Anna was always pampered. what if she couldn't endure it?

He shook his head slightly. They say troublemakers live long, and that woman wouldn't easily come to harm. Aunt Taylor lost her life, and Migi, once a wealthy heiress, was forced to wander. All of it was because of Anna.

She was simply standing in the rain, repeating for her mistakes. why should anyone feel sorry for her? With that thought, Gerald started the car and drove away from the cemetery.

The sky was a dull gray, with clouds growing heavier and the rain pouring down harder.

Gerald corporation, CEO's office.

"Mr. Gerald, Mr. Gerald?"

Gerald was distracted, barely listening to his assistant's report. It wasn't until the third time his assistant called him that he snapped back to reality.

"What time is it?"

Henry, his assistant, paused for a moment before quickly replying, it's 7:35."

Gerald frowned. Was it that late already? that woman...

He unlocked his phone, noticing there were no missed calls, and his expression turned cold.

Still unrepentant! let her stay at the cemetery then!

"Have the secretary inform Mr. Warren that the business dinner is set at Nightfall. I'm heading there now!"

"Yes, sir! " Henry replied.

Back at the cemetery, the atmosphere was eerie and cold. The rain continued to fall, and a frail figure lay unconscious in front of a tombstone, a pool of red beneath her mixing with the darkness, creating a chilling sight. The woman's face was pale, devoid of any sign of life...
