LOGINI was a guesthouse owner in Verano, a popular and beautiful town. Every year, around the end of the year, a particularly large number of beautiful women would come to my place. Outsiders did not know why my business was booming, but I knew the reason very well. Once they came in, they all had to leave their most precious things behind before they could go. That went on until a pair of twin college girls knocked on my guesthouse door. One was pure and innocent; the other was cute and naive. They cautiously asked, “Sir, are you guys still hiring for the summer?” I looked them over. The security camera shifted. I saw the text message on my phone and smiled knowingly. “Yes, we are. Five thousand dollars each.” They were overjoyed, but they had no idea the ending had already been sealed the moment they walked in.

I barely had any strength left. “Come closer. Look at me. Do I really scare you now?”He hesitated for a long time, and I kept talking. “It’s about my mom.”His expression shifted slightly, and he crouched down to listen. I leaned close to his ear and said, “When I was going through my mom’s things, a letter fell out. She said she was willing to die for you.”His breathing grew ragged. He glared at me fiercely. “What else did she say?”My smile widened as my hand moved toward my pocket. “She said she loved you. She’ll be waiting for you in the underworld.”The next moment, blood splattered. I drove the small knife Shannon had left me into his neck. This knife had originally been meant for the two of us. If one of us did not die outright, the other was supposed to end our suffering.He clutched his nec
I looked completely unbothered. A slap on the wrist like that could never make up for Jadine’s death or all the years of suffering I had endured.Shannon gently set a small bag down on the stool.Before ending it all, I wanted to ask a few questions. I looked at Edward and asked, “Did you ever regret what happened to my mom?”He shook his head calmly. Then, I looked at George. “You’re the one who killed Jadine. I want you to apologize to her in front of her grave. Loud enough for everyone to hear. Three times. I want you to own up to what you did. Will you do it?”George was furious. “You want me to apologize to a loose woman? Jordan, have you lost your mind?”He lunged at me, aiming to strike, but Edward’s butler, Keith Lance, held him back. Keith barely moved, yet George could not shift even half an inch. I knew full well he was not just any butler.Edward had been guarding against me. I laughed openly and without holding back. “Fine then. Go keep her company in the under
I stared at the bag and headed to the warehouse without a moment’s hesitation.Along the way, I thought about a lot of things. I realized I had truly accomplished nothing in this life. I had failed to protect my mother, and I had failed to kill my father. Then, I had failed to make it to the end with the woman I loved. All in all, I had lived a wretched, meaningless life. So, I decided to drag some people down with me.When I reached the warehouse, Shannon was tied up in the middle. The moment she saw me, tears streamed down her face.She was usually gentle and obedient. However, at this moment, she screamed at me, “Go! Why did you even come?”I sat down beside her with the bag on my back and pointed at the sunset with a smile. “Look. The sunset’s gorgeous. Being alive is the greatest.”However, there was a bomb in my bag that was ready to go off at any moment.I stood up, held her head, and kissed her deeply. “Shannon, promise me you’ll live.”She was in despair as she sobb
By the time I got there, the VIP room was a total wreck. Jadine lay in the middle of it.I was so furious that I screamed at George and everyone else there, “I’ll kill anyone who tries to stop me!”Nobody blocked my way. However, George, who was lurking in the shadows, just laughed. “She’s already dead. Take her if you want.”Panic hit me, and my body started trembling uncontrollably.That was when I finally realized that something was wrong with her. I dropped to my knees and gently patted her face, sobbing. “Jadine! Jadine, it’s Jordan. I’m here. Wake up. Come on, wake up!”No matter how frantically I shouted, her glistening eyes never opened again. When I let go, her arm fell limply. The last bit of warmth in her skin slowly went cold, and the chaotic, flickering lights faded away.Under the harsh lights, I finally saw the full extent of her injuries. Jadine had been tortured beyond recognition. She had been tortured so savagely that no one showed her even a shred of decen
