All Chapters of Blood of Regret: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

As Jason finished his cigarette, he casually threw it into a bin before continuing, "Beatrice's phone was sabotaged, but it's reparable, and all we have to do is wait."With that, he turned and started to leave, when he paused again and turned back to Martin. "By the way, your protectiveness over Yvie is clearly hampering the search for Beatrice, and you could well consider yourself an accomplice to her murderer. Sure, there's no law that can punish you for that, but it will eat away at your conscience forever."Martin stood there, suddenly looking stiff and exhausted.I glanced at him for a moment and left without looking back again.I didn't know when my soul would move on or what state my body was in, so I could only wait. If anything, I looked forward to my body being found and laid to rest, while the truth being eventually exposed—perhaps that would free my soul.Still, just as Jason got in his car, Lucas called him. "Cap! That nutcase—I mean, Star—is gone! We were still se

Lynn, still on the ground, stared at Star as she blurted, "Where's Bea…?"Star threw away the stick he was holding and turned to run like a startled deer, but Jason caught him and shoved him against the wall.He bellowed in rage, "Why are you running?! What are you doing here?!"It was always this… loony!I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Lynn was safe and that Jason suspected Star too.Eventually, this would lead everyone to the truth and my body…Soon, the police took Star to the station, while Jason took Lynn home.I felt reprieve—if only for the time being. Still, I noticed the fruit-flavored lollipop that Star left on the ground…-Despite being arrested, Star remained silent throughout the 24-hour interrogation.And without evidence, the police could only release him on bail, and the Lachmanns didn't hesitate to post bail.I sat in the lobby of the precinct, jaded as I watched the Lachmanns leaving with Star.There was really no end with that cunning monster

"You're fucking crazy!" Jason bellowed as he kicked Star, just as the other officers finally managed to pull him away."Calm down, cap!" Lucas cried. "This isn't the time to be rash! Look, we don't even know why he's suddenly confessing, but he has solid alibis!"Listening to reason, Jason took a deep breath and straightened himself. On the other hand, Star was suddenly frantic and pointed at himself as he said. "I-It was me… I killed those women… Kill me…"Jason frowned in silence and eventually said, "Keep going. Press him until he tells the truth." Despite Star's confession and being certified insane, he was protected by multiple alibis and had the best lawyers Miguel Lachmann had to offer—the charges wouldn't even stick.It was a stalemate for everyone.Still, everyone jerked up as they heard a loud crash outside.Martin was yelling and raving outside, trying to barge in and murder Star.I stood by the door of the interrogation room, completely ignoring Martin's antics

However, Lynn wasn't retching out of disgust.It was simply a physiological reaction to utterly overwhelming fear and distress.After all, my body was standing inside a glass case in the dark cellar—just like the glass cases one would expect to see in a museum exhibit.And I could see my own body attached to countless IV bags, looking just like a mannequin, save for the piece of red cloth that covered my eye sockets after my eyes were removed.My skin was so pale, it was as if there wasn't a single drop of blood flowing in my veins.My feet were nailed to the display stand, while I wore nothing but a red dress with spaghetti straps.Even as firefighters and EMTs carefully worked to open the glass box, everyone's eyes were fixed on my body—a beautiful masterpiece, suspended in that box like an exhibit…Martin stood, his eyes widened in fear and a myriad of different emotions.I didn't know what he was thinking at this moment, but even I couldn't bear to look at myself any more.

That was when I heard my parents in the void."Come on, sleepyhead, Time to get up.""Mommy and Daddy are always here for you."-Even after my death, no suspect was arrested.The Lachmanns once again bailed out Star, with both his diagnosed insanity and alibi strongly countering any circumstantial evidence.The police had no choice but to let him go.-Somehow, I found myself in a trance and was yanked back to reality just as I heard someone snapping furiously, "I'm warning you, brat! Produce an heir soon, or you're never leaving this house ever again!""It's alright, sir," another voice spoke. "The drug has been administered, and she's in the room with him. It's going to work this time."Hearing that, I panicked.Where was I? Why did my eyelids feel so heavy that I couldn't even open my eyes?"Bea..." a hoarse voice rang in my ears.I can hear him breathing, his body shuddering with lust that couldn't be stifled.My fear and shock only peaked as I suddenly felt a burnin
