All Chapters of The Man Who Killed Me Wants My Hand: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

"I don't like owing anyone anything, miss. Take your money back and tell me how much compensation you want for your car."Stilliam's deep, cold voice cut through the noise in the fourth-floor hallway. That firm statement didn't sound at all like a shady business negotiation, but rather an absolute demand driven by high self-respect.At that, Bentley—known here as Karina—snorted loudly. His beautiful eyes flashed with irritation, radiating pure frustration that seemed to have been bottled up all day."How many times have I told you, Stiff Guy? I don't need your money!" snapped Bentley in a deliberately raised voice, complete with a hand-waving gesture that was incredibly graceful yet brimming with emotion. "The wad of cash I threw in your face yesterday was more than enough to fix that lousy bumper of yours. So, stop following me like a debt collector!"I, lurking from behind the crowd, could only blink a few times. My brain, which had been spinning various conspiracy theories, came to

The realization that I was right in the middle of the deadly conflict between The Raven and Black Lotus instantly set off alarm bells in my head.The warm touch of Skyden's hand on the back of my head and the worried look in his gray eyes no longer felt heart-fluttering; instead, they had turned into a terrifying, very real threat.Thud!Ignoring the anxiety on his face, I used both my palms to shove Skyden's broad chest with a forceful, cold thrust.That sudden movement successfully sent his massive body sliding backward across the marble floor.I immediately stood up, stiffly adjusting my slightly disheveled clothes.I didn't even bother glancing in his direction anymore. To hell with whatever manifest data or physical evidence he'd offered earlier. Being too close to this man would only shatter my sanity.Without uttering a single word, I strode past Skyden, who was still sitting on the floor, heading for the bathroom, and immediately locked the door from the inside.In the shower,

That night... Katherine tried to stop me from leaving too."Have you lost your mind?! Why have you become like this? Has hanging out with that lowlife woman turned you into a fool?!" she shouted at the time, blocking my path.I just let out a quiet sigh. I didn't want to get into an argument right then.So, I just nodded, admitting to all her accusations, and walked past her.I'm crazy.I'm stupid.Whatever you want to call it, I don't care anymore."You bastard!" Katherine yelled from behind me. But I didn't stop; my mind was made up."You're lying, Skyden… back then, when I asked if you liked that damn girl, you said you just saw her as a tool, but now? After she died, you've turned into this!" Katherine yelled again, throwing a small object at my back.That's when I stopped in my tracks. When I turned around, I saw it was the earring Linora had once given me.I still remember when Linora gave it to me with a blush on her cheeks; I'd never seen her act so shy before—she was so adora

That night, I immediately called Bentley and told him I wanted to secure a unit in Echelon Nine."Sure, I'll contact my contact to sell you that unit, but the condition for living there is—""I'm getting married. I'll take care of the paperwork tomorrow," I said immediately, cutting off Bentley on the other end."Really? So you accepted Katherine's feelings and proposed to her?" Bentley asked excitedly. "Just so you know, asshole, I don't really like that snake of a woman—she once laughed at me just because I preferred Barbie dolls over robots!"I could only rub my forehead as I listened to Bentley recounting that childish, long-held grudge; I'm sure Katherine had already forgotten about it. I mean, we were only about five years old back then.And besides, how did he even know Katherine liked me in the first place? I'd only found that out in my previous life, just moments before I had died."You're either too stupid or you just don't care, but anyone could tell that snake of a woman l

Linora Vance's POVI know I'm at fault. In my rush to escape from Skyden, I bumped into someone—Stilliam Spancer.Honestly, I didn't have the energy to argue. Facing Skyden earlier had already drained my defenses.I was afraid staying longer would make me lose my drive for revenge."I realize I was wrong for accidentally bumping into you. Once again, I'm sorry," I finally said, suppressing my pride.I had to be patient. This was entirely my fault.Still, it was frustrating. The man didn't seem to want to let me leave.From his eyes, I could tell he'd just had trouble elsewhere and was taking it out on me.Just as Stilliam was about to speak, a sudden punch cut through the air. A fist flew in, landing squarely on his face.I screamed in shock.Stilliam staggered a few steps backward, bracing himself as his body nearly collapsed. Meanwhile, I stood frozen, trying to recover from the shock."Skyden, have you lost your mind?!" I snapped as soon as my eyes locked onto the person who'd thro
