Chapter 1 The Price of His Love

Every time I pounded on the iron door, another layer of skin peeled off my hands, sticking to the metal.Blood seeped from my wounds, and my throat burned as if it were on fire.Still, I clung to what little strength I had left and kept begging for help. "Mom really died in prison! You tortured her to death. Do you have to kill me, too?"Tears streamed down my face.I was so severely dehydrated that my throat was raw, and every word felt like it might tear it open.My father ignored me, nodding furiously to himself instead.He turned to the chat window with my mother and shouted through gritted teeth, "Unbelievable, Harper! Just unbelievable! "Look what you've turned our daughter into! You weren't satisfied with lying to me about your own death. Now, you're teaching our daughter to say such an awful thing too!"He angrily tossed his phone aside.Hearing me continue to beg for help only made him angrier. He turned toward the sauna and shouted impatiently, "Stop pretending! T

Chapter 2 One Last Hope

My eyelids grew heavier by the second, and the skin on my lips cracked and split.Without thinking, I licked the blood trickling from them. I was so thirsty. So hot. Every inch of my body hurt.Through the haze clouding my mind, I suddenly heard my mother calling my name. "Aria! Please, you have to hold on! Please, keep trying to get help! Don't give up! Stay alive!"My eyes flew open, and I gasped for air.My mother was right. I could not give up.I had spent three years studying for tomorrow's college entrance exam. Wasn't that what all my hard work had been for?Getting into Goldspire University was my dream, and my mother's too.I did not know where I found the strength, but I forced myself back to my feet and started pounding on the door again."Dad, please. Please let me out first. If you let me out, I'll take you to Mom."I struggled to keep my voice from shaking, making my tone as gentle as possible.Hearing me, my father seemed satisfied with my change in attitude. H

Chapter 3 Gone for Good

A pair of hands suddenly yanked me away.I spun around, only to realize that I did not feel any pain. There was not a single wound on my body. And somehow, I was in Zoe's car.The sauna I had been trapped in moments ago felt like nothing more than a dream.Zoe was driving at breakneck speed, staring straight ahead as tears streamed down her face. I knew she was grieving for my mother."Aunt Zoe…" I reached out to wipe her tears, but my hand passed straight through her face.Staring blankly at my transparent body, I finally understood.I was dead.…By the time I had fully processed that realization, Zoe had already arrived at Miller Estate. She kicked the door open and shouted at the top of her lungs."Tristan! Get out here! Where have you locked Aria up? She's barely hanging on! Let her out, now!"The moment Zoe remembered the state I had been in when I called her, her voice began to tremble. She could not bear to imagine what might have happened to me.My father sauntered

Chapter 4 Too Late to Save Her

Zoe's eyes blazed with fury. Even as the bodyguards restrained her, she struggled wildly, punching and kicking at the empty air.She was nearly out of her mind."Tristan! I hope you die a horrible death! Harper has suffered enough because of you! Why can't you leave her alone, even after she's dead?"My father carefully wiped the moisture from his hands, his expression cold."Don't try to scare me by talking about death. I didn't believe you before, and I'm even less likely to believe you now. Go back and tell Harper that she has to take the blame for Stella again, no matter what."If she keeps raising hell, she'll never see Aria again after Aria finishes her college entrance exam. I'll make sure of it for the rest of her life."Zoe's eyes widened in shock. Everything had happened so suddenly that she had forgotten she still needed to rescue me.She knew that with Tristan this obsessed, there was no way he would tell her where I was.She had not been able to protect Harper's as

Chapter 5 The Call He Dismissed

It was barely light outside, and the sauna was still dark.The moment the door opened, a blast of heat rushed out, but Zoe did not care. She charged inside, forcing her way through the scorching air. "Aria! Aria!"The moment Zoe stepped inside, the tears on her face evaporated.The heat turned her face bright red, and cracks quickly began to form in her skin, but even then, she pressed on without hesitation, desperately calling my name.She was so frantic that her mind went blank. It took her a while to remember to turn on her phone's flashlight.She waved her phone around wildly. The moment the beam landed on my face, she froze in horror.I lay motionless on the floor. The side of my body that had been against the ground was horribly burned.Blood and pus dripped onto the floor, sizzling as they fell.The other side of my body was hardly any better. My skin had cracked open all over, exposing raw, blood-red flesh. The extreme heat had evaporated the moisture from my exposed

Chapter 6 Zoe's Breaking Point

After hanging up, Zoe immediately tried to drag me outside, but she had been in the sauna too long and was becoming dehydrated. She no longer had the strength to move me.However much she hated Tristan, I mattered more than anything right now.She shouted toward the door. "Tristan! Get over here and help me carry Aria out! Tristan!"My father heard Zoe shouting from outside, and his temper flared.…What was Harper trying to pull now?Their daughter was sleeping just fine inside, yet Harper had insisted that Zoe open the door. Worse, she had tricked Zoe into going along with her lie that something had happened to their daughter.He could not understand why Harper was doing all this. Was it just to make him feel sorry for her and pay attention to her?Why would she have to say such terrible things about their daughter?Besides, he had already promised that once she got out of prison, he would fully return to family life.The thought that I had actually joined Harper in this

Chapter 7 Regret Comes Too Late

"Tristan, you bastard! Get out here! How dare you kill them both and then carry on like nothing happened? Get out here!"Zoe's eyes were bloodshot as she kicked open the mansion's front door.The moment she entered the living room, she raised the knife in her hand and started slashing wildly at my father.If the bodyguards had not restrained her, he would be dead by now.My father was so terrified he could not even speak. "Zoe! What the hell are you doing?"Zoe let out a cold laugh. "You want to know what's wrong with me? Harper and Aria are both dead because of you! Why wouldn't I be losing my mind?"My father frowned and snapped, "I told you, stop bringing up her death to make me feel sorry for her! I made sure Harper was taken care of in prison! How could she possibly be dead?"And Aria! She's taking the college entrance exam right now. She has a bright future ahead of her. Stop jinxing her!"Zoe was so furious she was about to start cursing him out again when my father rece

Chapter 8 No Forgiveness

Black funeral banners fluttered throughout the hall.Photos of my mother and me hung at the front of the memorial hall.The moment my father saw them, he broke down all over again. His knees buckled, and he dropped to the floor.He scrambled toward the entrance, practically crawling on his hands and knees.However, just as he was about to enter the memorial hall, Zoe suddenly appeared and kicked him away from the entrance."Get out! Trash like you doesn't deserve to come in here!" she snapped. "Don't you dare bring your filth into this place!"My father did not get up. He curled up on the ground, his shoulders trembling continuously.At first, he sobbed quietly. But eventually, he could not hold back anymore and burst into loud, anguished sobs."Harper! Aria! I was wrong! I never should've locked Aria in the sauna! And I never should've refused to believe her! I'm a damn bastard!"As he spoke, he began slapping himself over and over. He kept going until his cheeks were red and
