All Chapters of A Face For A Face: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

After returning home, I followed my memory and rushed straight toward the room that belonged to my son, Andy.“Andy? Buddy? Andy, Daddy's home.”The household staff stared at me in shock. At first, I thought it was because of my face. So, I quickly pulled out a wrinkled mask and put it on. I didn't want to scare Andy when he saw me.However, the moment I pushed open the door, I froze. The room that had once been filled with toys was now packed with miscellaneous junk. The stench of dust and garbage hit me hard, and my mind went blank. Slowly, I turned around and grabbed the nearest servant by the arm.“Where's Andy? Where did you take him?”The servant glanced at Riley, who had just walked up behind me, and hesitated to speak. A terrible feeling settled in my chest, and I started to panic.I grabbed Riley by the collar, asking, “Where is Andy, Riley? Where is he? You can't just neglect him because I wasn't there with him...”Riley closed her eyes. After a long struggle, she fina

Three days later, Riley came to pick me up exactly as promised. This time, Leo did not come with her. Maybe he had finally learned his lesson and was too afraid to provoke me.Riley drove me straight to her cosmetic surgery clinic.“Trust me, Carter. I’ll restore your original appearance. After that, we’ll go back to how things used to be. We’ll live our lives together again.”I wanted to say, ‘Unfortunately, Riley, we could never go back to the way we were.’Still, I didn’t refuse because I could no longer walk around with the face of the murderer who killed Andy. I would scare Andy so much.I lay down once again on the operating table. With the cold metal pressed against my back, memories of the past came flooding back, and my whole body trembled uncontrollably.Riley gently tried to calm me. “Carter, don’t be afraid. It’s all in the past now.”I handed her a USB drive.“Riley, make sure you listen to this.”She nodded. “Alright. I will.”Then, she instructed the nurses to

Riley used her influence to secure one day of bail. As for Leo, she brought him back with her as well.Back at home, the first thing Riley did was walk into the room and insert the USB drive I had given her into the computer. Almost immediately, an audio file popped up, and Riley frowned because it was Leo’s voice.“Carter, I deliberately ran over your child. Why should you get to be with Riley? Why do you get to have a happy family of three while I watch from the sidelines? You hate me for it? So what? All I did was cry a little, and Riley believed me. She thought your son ran onto the road himself, and she sent you to prison for five years. Hahaha!“I heard when your parents died, their bodies weren’t even found for days. You were in prison at the time, weren’t you? No one went to collect their bodies.”Following a rustling sound, Leo’s voice suddenly turned sharp. “Ah! Carter, why are you hitting me?”At that, the recording cut off.Riley froze. She couldn’t believe that the i

It turned out that after witnessing the bloody scene and hesitating for a long time out of fear, one of the servants finally called the police. Just like that, Riley was taken away by officers, while Leo was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.By the time I received the news, everything about what happened to me had spread online. Countless people sympathized with me. Some even sent their condolences for my late child and parents.Riley’s business rivals took advantage of the situation and fanned the flames. In a short time, Riley’s cosmetic surgery clinic was drowned in negative press. The funding chain collapsed soon after, and she was pushed to the brink of bankruptcy. It was not long after that the clinic shut down.Leo, on the other hand, survived after three days and nights in intensive care. However, he lost the ability to ever be a father. The injuries on his face and body drove him to attempt to take his own life every day, until the police intervened and stoppe
