All Chapters of Don’s Frenzy of Regret After Her Death: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

(Ivy’s POV)I didn't hang up, nor did I open the door. I gripped the receiver tightly, my knuckles turning white."Don't you touch him!" I screamed into the phone. "Gabriel is innocent! He's just a doctor! Alexander, if you dare hurt him, I won't let you go even as a ghost!""Innocent?" Alexander sneered, his voice dripping with jealousy. "A man who eloped with you and hid you for six months, and you tell me he's innocent? Ivy, do you know how I've spent the last six months? Every day, I think about how I'm going to skin that bastard alive once I catch him.""However..." His tone shifted. "As long as you obediently return to my side, I might spare his miserable life.""Don't negotiate with me." His voice hardened. "Now, get out. The pickup truck is already fitted with a tracker. Drive east to the abandoned military airfield forty kilometers away. If you dare play any tricks or try to contact that doctor, I will immediately turn this entire area into a sea of fire.""Even if it's a Doct

(Ivy's POV)After returning from the church, I changed.I no longer went on hunger strikes, no longer smashed things, and no longer looked at him like he was an enemy.I knew I could never win against him head-on. To escape this hell, I had to make him lower his guard.At dinner, I took the initiative to pick up the spoon.Alexander sat opposite, staring at me intently, as if checking to see if I was playing tricks again.I swallowed a mouthful of soup, looked up, and gave him a weak but docile smile."Alexander, does the wound still hurt?"With just that sentence, the man's defenses completely collapsed.The knife and fork in his hands dropped onto the plate with a crisp clatter."It doesn't hurt... Ivy, are you not angry anymore?" He asked carefully, like a child who had done something wrong.Over the next few days, I began to cooperate with his "performance."He took me to reminisce about the past, and I chatted with him about our first meeting by the sea in Sicily; he read to me, a

(Ivy’s POV)"Ivy!"An anxious cry broke the deadly silence.Gabriel pushed through the crowd and rushed over. He was still holding the bunch of holly he had just bought. The moment he saw Alexander, he froze, then immediately threw the flowers aside and shielded me with his body, regardless of the consequences."Don't touch her!"Gabriel's frame looked frail in front of these professional killers, but he didn't flinch, guarding me firmly.Alexander didn't even lift an eyelid.He just toyed absently with the reindeer figurine, glancing at Gabriel as if looking at trash."This is him?" Alexander chuckled lightly. "The doctor who took you from my bed?""Alexander, don't do anything rash!" I poked my head out from behind Gabriel, my voice trembling. "This is Norway! There are laws here! You can't...""Laws?" Alexander acted as if he had heard a joke.He raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.Four bodyguards moved instantly. Their speed was astonishing; before Gabriel could even t

(Ivy’s POV)Early the next morning.Like a wooden puppet, I was dressed in that heavy wedding dress by several maids. They applied thick powder to my face, covering my pale complexion and eyes swollen from crying.According to family tradition, on the eve of the wedding, the groom must take the bride to the ancestral home on the mountaintop to offer incense to the spirits of past Godfathers.Alexander and I sat in the back of a bulletproof Lincoln.He wore a black suit today, his hair combed meticulously. Along the way, he held my hand tightly, his palm sweaty.He seemed nervous, yet excited, turning to look at me from time to time with a look of morbid satisfaction.The convoy traveled on the winding mountain road. On one side was a cliff face, on the other a precipice.Suddenly, a screech of brakes came from ahead.A heavy cement mixer truck rushed out from a side road without warning, smashing hard into the side of the lead car.Boom!The lead car was knocked flying, tumbling down t

(Alexander's POV)My hand grasped empty air.My fingertips only brushed a piece of flying skirt hem—the cold touch of silk, fleeting."Ivy—!!"I lay on the railing, watching helplessly as that patch of white fell, like a shooting star, smashing into the rolling black waves.The white foam churned once and vanished instantly.I didn't even think before trying to jump after her."Don! You can't!"Several trusted men behind me hugged my legs tightly, pinning me to the ground."Let me go! She's down there! She's in the water! She's afraid of the cold!"I roared, struggled, and smashed my head against the ground until blood flowed."Go save her! Whoever brings her up, I'll give them the whole family!"The search and rescue lasted seven full days.I mobilized all the family's helicopters and speedboats, even threatening the local navy to block off the entire sea area.I turned the Sicilian sea upside down.But the sea took my bride away.Except for that crystal high heel washed ashore, there
