Chapter 21

"Ah…"Hearing a strange moan just ahead, Chuck slowly looked up to find a familiar figure.It was Lisa, and she looked sick, barely standing as she leaned against the hallway wallChuck was at once worried, running to her side and asking anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you okay, Lisa?"Lisa's pupils were darting everywhere, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes watery, clearly in a state of arousal.Chuck couldn't help gulping even as he felt a little joy inside.He had no idea who had drugged Lisa, but he was the only person in the cruise ship who had been physically intimate with Lisa as of now.He was undoubtedly the best choice to help!Moreover, marriage should never fall apart over a single quarrel. Who knew if he might stand a chance if he bailed Lisa out of this crisis…With that in mind, Chuck eagerly helped Lisa to his room, only for Lisa to suddenly grab a waiter who was just passing by!The waiter was tall and slender, not to mention good looking—just the sight of him le

Lisa woke up to many unread texts on her phone.Fighting against her throbbing headache, she immediately spotted an apology sent from the cruise crew manager.After many sincere apologies, they told her that they had found the culprit and asked her to go to the office on the main deck at her earliest convenience.Lisa quickly cleaned up before heading to the office, where she found herself staring at a familiar face."Susan Smith," she breathed the name softly, her expression as cold as ice.The manager was stunned for a second, quickly catching on that there was history between the two women.Still, he said, "That's her, Ms. Adams. She stole a set of janitor's uniform and tried to blend in as a janitor, and we have evidence she slipped something in your champagne. However, she hasn't said anything since we caught her, and she's just sitting there. We didn't get rough or do much else with her since she's pregnant…"Susan finally looked up, glaring at Lisa resentfully as she wait

Susan was rushed to the hospital as soon as the crew got off the cruise ship.But she lost her child, and she was so ill herself that she almost didn't survive surgery.However, once she recovered, what awaited her was criminal charges and an indefinite jail term.On the other hand, Lisa had made enough connections at the cruise dinner and was ready to return to Europe per Ian's guidance. From now on, she'd never return unless it was necessary.On the way to the airport, a violent gale flipped over her car, and she passed out in agony.When she opened her eyes again, she frowned as she found herself back in a very familiar place.It was identical to the old bedroom she shared with Chuck. Everything, from the bed to the cupboards, down to the curtain color and floor tiles, was the exact same as the house she had lived in for three years.The only difference was that even the things she had taken with her when she left had returned.It was a creepy sight that left her feeling lik

Lisa retched as the stench of gasoline filled her nostrils, but she kept staring fixedly at Chuck as she demanded, "What do you think you're doing?!"Chuck shrugged as he held a lighter in one hand and spread gasoline all over the floor with the other.He smiled at her. "I've been doing some thinking—even if I lock you up here, I'll always be worried that you'll escape sooner or later. So why not just die together instead of doubting each other like this?"Yeah… Let's die right here, in this house that I so painstakingly decorated. Our bodies will melt together as one, and no one can come between us ever again…"Even as Lisa felt the chill down her spine, she stared fixedly at Chuck's right hand in case he accidentally dropped the lighter.However, he seemed to read her mind, and he threw the lighter outside the door and closed it.As the blazing heat swirled and flames danced outside the door, stifling black smoke started seeping through various cracks.Lisa promptly wet a towe
