Unforgiven: A Debt Paid with Blood のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 8

I hadn't slept for three whole days. The moment I got home, I collapsed onto the bed, utterly drained.As I stared blankly at the ceiling, the pain in my heart spread.All of this felt like a nightmare.I hadn't noticed when my eyelids had grown heavy. In a half-asleep daze, I seemed to see my sister crying, begging me to save her.I ran toward her with all my might. Just as I was about to grab her hand, a splash of cold water suddenly shattered the dream. The icy water snapped me awake. There stood Jenny, one hand on her hip, the other holding the empty basin, her face twisted in anger."Wow, Landon, you actually have the nerve to sleep here!"Not having eaten or drunk anything for days, combined with the shock of the cold water, I was dizzy and disoriented.I wiped the water from my forehead. As I staggered to stand up, Jenny shoved me back down with a hard push.With her expression full of irritation and contempt, she wiped her hands in disgust."Where's Cynthia? Tell her

Jenny's expression froze. She opened her mouth slightly as if to say something, but no sound came out. After hanging up, she glanced at me with guilt flickering in her eyes. She hesitated for a long time before finally speaking."Why didn't you tell me Cynthia had passed away?"I looked up, a mocking smile playing on my lips. "I did, but did you believe me? You knew Cynthia had a heart condition. She couldn't drink alcohol or be under stress. Why did you make her go entertain guests?""Landon… I…" Jenny stammered, utterly lost for words.I turned to look at Claude, who was standing off to the side, trying to shrink himself. My eyes, filled with rage, fixed on him as I stepped closer."You lost your USB drive, didn't you? Tell me! My sister is dead; how could she have taken it? Or did you see her ghost?"Claude shrank further, cornered and unable to escape, finally falling to the floor.Seeing this, I sneered and headed over to the liquor cabinet. Grabbing a bottle of vodka, I tw

Three days later, Jenny sent me the signed divorce agreement. I wasn't surprised at all.With her pride, she wouldn't keep begging.A month later, as I walked out of the courthouse, I received a call from the police. They informed me that a drunkard who had been harassing Cynthia outside a bar had been caught. He was linked to other murders and was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.There was a price to pay for every mistake made.Claude, it was your turn next.Finally, someone invested in Claude's project.I facilitated ten million.The day after signing the contract, Claude proudly flaunted his new car and watch on social media, responding to his own post."It's not much; just a little over a million for the car."I completed a small goal of ten million, hence I decided to treat myself to a little reward."I scoffed quietly and let him enjoy his moment for a few more days. After all, the fall from grace would be much more entertaining.Claude started frequentin

On the anniversary of Cynthia's passing, I brought a bouquet of bird-of-paradise flowers to her grave. However, I was met with someone I wasn't expecting at the cemetery.Jenny stood there in a thin white dress. She was barefaced.I recognized the dress; it was the same dress she wore on the day we got our marriage certificate."Landon, I was wrong. I've spent the night at Cynthia's grave, repenting. I only realized how much I love you now. I thought I loved Claude, but when I truly lost you, I could finally see what was in my heart."She knelt on one knee, holding a bouquet of white roses with a sincere look in her eyes. "Landon, I'm asking for your hand in marriage at Cynthia's grave. I promise to love only you for the rest of my life."I've gotten rid of Claude. Can you forgive me?"I gently pulled Sabrina who had been watching from the side closer to me, intertwining our fingers. Turning to Jenny with a blank expression, I replied, "I'm sorry, but I have a fiancée."Sabrin
