Marco lost it. Without a moment of hesitation, he threw himself out of the helicopter right after me.“Aurora, I won’t allow you to leave me!” he roared mid‑air, his face twisted. “If you die, we’ll die together!”After that, we plunged into the ocean.Unfortunately, I had planned to swim away using skills I’d trained for years, but I hadn’t expected their helicopter to be equipped with an inflatable rescue raft. Marco’s men dragged his half‑drowned body out of the water and then forcibly took me with them. Just like that, I was taken back to that estate—my cage.After that, Marco cleared his entire schedule. Anything he couldn’t cancel, he handled from home. From then on, he practically glued himself to my side. He even handcuffed my right wrist to his left so I couldn’t escape while he slept.“This way, you can never leave me again,” he said with a fanatic gleam in his eyes. “Aurora, bear with it for now. You might not be used to the cuffs, but in time, you will.”“Used to it?”

However, Marco clearly wasn’t listening. He kept repeating to himself, almost delusional, “I know you’re still angry. It’s okay, I understand. We have plenty of time. I’ll win your forgiveness, slowly.”For the entirety of next month, he really did follow through. Whenever I refused to cooperate, he ordered his men to activate the electric chair every night. They weren’t allowed to stop, even if he fainted from the pain.Lina was strapped into the punishment room’s chair as well. After weeks of that torture, she was barely breathing. Still, Marco demanded that the doctor heal her after every session, just enough to keep her alive. Just like that, she hung on by a single, miserable thread.Marco pulled out every trick he had, desperately showing me his regret. However, I never gave him a single response. I didn’t want to see him, so I kept my face cold and refused to say even one word.“Please, Aurora. Don’t do this to me.” Marco was on the edge of breaking down. “Just talk to me. E

“Marco, I can’t forgive you,” I said quietly, “so I’m leaving the final decision to God. “A Russian roulette revolver has six chambers but three bullets. We take turns pointing it at each other’s heads and pulling the trigger. If, in the end, neither of us dies, that means God has forgiven you on my behalf. Then, I’ll follow His will and forgive you one last time. “But if either one of us dies, then the game ends, and we’re both finally free.”Marco immediately grabbed my hand. “Aurora, if you die, I’ll pull the trigger and die with you.”Instead of feeling touched, I said to him calmly, “If you die, I won’t do the same. I’ll forget you and go on with living my life.”Marco’s expression twisted in pain, but he didn’t argue. He gestured for his men to bring the revolver.“Aurora, I love you,” he said. “I won’t let you risk getting your head blown off just to gamble with me.”Holding the gun, Marco continued, “So, we won’t take turns. I’ll fire all three shots myself. If I’m sti
