MasukAfter three years of pursuing Patrick Doyle, he finally agrees to marry me. During the ceremony, while we are exchanging rings, he suddenly pulls out his gun and presses the muzzle against my dad, Jacob Walker's, head. "Damn you, you evil drug dealer! You killed my mentor, badge number 66205. Put down your gun and surrender. I'll let you live." As soon as he finishes, his sister, Lena Doyle, screams. It startles Patrick, and he fires without hesitation. A bullet pierces through Dad's forehead, and his body crashes down into a pool of blood. His eyes remain wide open even in death. My white wedding dress is soaked through with blood. Just like that, my family is shattered. I go from being a wealthy heiress in Hinton to the daughter of a criminal. Patrick gets his honors while my family lies in ruins. He looks at me in his uniform, his eyes cold. "Ariana Walker, your dad may be a criminal, but you're innocent. We're married now. I'll ask them to go easy on you." I look down and hold tight to the badge Dad left behind. Who's really guilty here?

The blade grazed my neck, leaving a thin line of blood. "Do you know what Jacob said to me before he died?"Patrick's breath hitched.Sting leaned in close to my ear, deliberately raising her voice so Patrick could hear. "He told me not to hurt his daughter." Her eyes gleamed with the thrill of revenge. "Now I'll make you watch her die."She dragged me into the elevator with her. The doors slid shut as Patrick's desperate screams echoed outside. There were only the two of us inside. A sudden feeling of weightlessness washed over me. Sting pressed the button for the rooftop.Sting turned and brought her mangled face close to mine. "Ariana, are you scared?"I stared into her deranged eyes. "I'm just scared you'll die a quick death."Sting sneered, and the tip of the blade pierced my shoulder. Pain shot through my b
Sting didn't even try to fight back. She just let Patrick pin her to the floor, shards of glass digging into her as blood ran from her mangled jaw down her neck. She kept laughing through it all, the sound like some demon crawling out of hell.Sting taunted, "Harder, Patrick. You didn't hesitate like this when you blew Jacob's head open."Patrick's eyes were bloodshot. Blood and tears mixed with the grime on his face and dripped onto hers. He raised his fist and slammed it into her face.Once.Twice.The sound of bone cracking made my skin crawl.Sting's nose collapsed. The face she'd spent three years sculpting was instantly reduced to blood and mangled flesh.Patrick had completely lost his mind. All he could think about now was Dad lying in a pool of blood. All he wanted was to tear the monster in front of him apart.Leaning against my hospital bed, I watched them fight. The pain from my wound kept me alert.Patrick seized the IV stand beside him. He hauled it up, aiming f
"There's one more video." I kept my voice low as I pressed play. "Patrick, see for yourself who you've protected all these years. See who she really is."The screen flickered. The real Lena was tied to a metal chair in a basement where half the lights were out. Water had pooled across the floor. Her hair clung to her face, and blood stained the corners of her mouth.She slowly lifted her head toward the camera. Her eyes were swollen from crying. "Patrick… Help me…"Sting, dressed in red, sat opposite her, casually playing with a metal hammer. She smiled at Lena. "Louder. Make sure your brother can hear you clearly."The hammer came down, and Lena's scream burst through the speakers.Patrick went white. He stared at the screen, his lips moving soundlessly. Whatever he wanted to say never came.The video kept playing, the clock on the basement wall ticking on.Lena screamed. Then she begged. Eventually, there was nothing left but ragged breaths.Sting stayed seated across from he
Patrick stiffened, his face turning deathly pale. "Impossible… That can't be. The records said Jacob Walker was…""The records?" I sneered and pointed at Lena. "Why don't you ask your angelic sister? Ask her how she turned my dad from your fellow officer into a criminal. And how she erased his commendation and made you shoot him dead."Lena stopped crying. She looked at me, her face pale, as her body trembled uncontrollably. "No, I didn't! Patrick, she's talking nonsense, trying to sow discord between us!"I tossed the memory card to Patrick. "Patrick, see for yourself."In the video, Dad forced a grim smile at the camera. "Patrick, if you're seeing this, I'm probably already dead." He coughed up a large amount of blood, breathing heavily as he pressed hard against his wound."Someone hacked the internal network, and my records were wiped clean. Now you all see me as an unrepentant criminal." With trembling hands, Dad pulled out his badge with 66205 clearly engraved on the back. H
