Semua Bab You Left Me to Die, I'll Leave You to Cry: Bab 1 - Bab 8

"Alice, why didn't you inform us that you were coming home?" Thomas asked. "Mel and I didn't do anything. Don't get the wrong idea!"When Thomas woke up and noticed me standing there, he scrambled off the bed and hastily put on a shirt.Melody was awoken by the commotion. Her eyes were still hazy with sleep when she mumbled, "I've been scared of the sound of thunder since I was a child. I can only fall asleep with Thomas cradling me whenever it storms. Alice, you're not going to be petty over something as small as this, are you?"I was near tears by how infuriated I was with them. But after leaving the hospital, I promised myself that I would never shed another tear for Thomas."There's nothing that I have to be petty about," I replied. "Don't worry. Even if you have sex in front of my face, I won't stop you!"I left after saying my piece. I was afraid that I would start crying if I stayed.Thomas chased after me, grabbing me furiously."Mel and I are innocent. As her elder, how

"Ally, where are you going?" Thomas yelled in panic. "Alice Redfield!"The thunderous roar of the helicopter propellers reverberated in my ears. I leaned over to look at the ground.Thomas was sprinting after the helicopter as if he truly believed he had a chance to catch up to it. He tripped over his own feet and crashed to the ground. The groomsmen hurried to pick him up, but he quickly broke out of their grasp and continued to chase after the helicopter.I'd never seen him lose his composure over me before. I supposed it made sense. He had cared deeply for me during the first five years of our relationship.In order to help him attract more clients, I'd once had so much alcohol that my stomach had begun to bleed. He had held me when he found out, sobbing until he lost his voice.During a critical moment when his company was in the process of being publicly listed, I sacrificed countless nights of sleep to complete my research in order to improve his chances. I had grown so weak

I called the police. It didn't take long before two police officers showed up and took Thomas away.Later, Thomas sent me a text message that read, "I know you still have me in your heart. You're unwilling to look at me because I hurt you so deeply five years ago. That's alright. I'll prove my sincerity to you!"I replied, "You guessed wrong. I already have a boyfriend, and our relationship is going very smoothly. We're going to get engaged after meeting each other's parents. Don't look for me anymore."I was telling him the truth. During the five years I was part of the confidential research team, I fell in love with the military officer who was in charge of security at the research base, Xavier Sparks. We started dating three years ago.Thomas didn't believe me. "You're telling me this because you're still angry, aren't you? We dated for ten years and were each other's first loves. I don't believe that you've fallen for someone else. I know that I failed to cherish you in the pas

"Xavier, I'm not actually going to meet him," I explained. "I just—"I didn't want Xavier to get the wrong idea. But I wasn't able to finish my explanation before Xavier interrupted me in a pained voice. "You're a silly goose who doesn't know how to express herself. You always think about other people."You must have endured a lot of hardships after meeting a hypocrite like him.""It's all in the past now," I replied.I was much more naive back then, while Thomas was an expert at whispering sweet nothings into my ear. I trusted everything he'd said, which was why I had clung to our relationship for so long.Xavier enveloped me in his embrace and pressed a tender kiss to my forehead.The next afternoon, I brought him to meet my family. Xavier, the young military officer who always lived life at his own pace and did whatever he wanted, was fidgeting nervously the entire time we were on our way to my house. When we arrived, he was respectful and obedient.If I didn't know any bette
