A Lifetime To Settle The Score 소설 & 이야기

Life couldn't be any better. THE END

The letter opened to reveal a note. The message written on it was bursting with hostility: ‘In three days’ time, at Long River’s Taichi Island, the score will be settled with our lives.’

Then she hit the gas and sped off. Claire stood frozen, staring at the bill fluttering in the wind. Every shred of her dignity had been crushed. She broke down sobbing. Elias died on a snowy winter morning. When he passed, only Claire was there, her face haggard and worn. His eyes remained wide open. There was no peace in them, only endless regret and resentment. His final days had been consumed by physical agony and bitter remorse. That was how his life ended. The funeral was painfully sparse. Not a single relative showed up besides Claire.

Fire burst through the old mausoleum, swallowing the black coats, the white flowers, the graveyard, and every apology that had come too late. “No—!” I screamed, but no one heard me. I did not want Luca to die. He was innocent. He was the only one who had understood me. The world went white. Then the Survival Program sounded in my mind. 【Isabella, congratulations.】 【Dante Bellandi’s family-bond score has reached 100%.】 【Julian Vale’s Love Score has reached 100%.】 【Adrian Moretti’s Love Score has reached 100%.】 【Luca’s Love Score has reached 100%.】

And mates could never really live with killing their own mate. "No one has to die, Lila," he calms down now. "It's high time we stopped playing games," he says without emotion. "Let's settle this once and for all." "What are you saying?" I'm getting excited now. "You and me. One fight to settle your doubts. No one has to know." A smile stretches my lips. "And if I win?"

Tears brim his eyes and the last question comes out in a shaky breath. My tears stream down my face for the millionth time today. The round diamond sparkles spectacularly like the stars in the night sky. It's absolutely stunning. All the pain and suffering have led us to this moment. This moment in time where we can finally accept that nothing will stand in our way and nothing will ever tear us apart. We are it for each other forever. "Yes," I whisper. The End

He begs, his voice shaking from despair. I look the man over. I know I took everything from him. I played it dirty in order to get what I want and what I want is his daughter. And she is still not in my possession. I release a deep sigh, pretending to think the matter over, but I know my patience is running out and if I don't have her by my side before the night is over, his life is mine. "My patience is running out Bart, I give you until the end of the night." I say and stroll to the bookcase. The need to have something that belongs to her in my hands overpowering the need to wrap them around his throat.

I closed my eyes, sensing the free fall of my body through the air, this time he couldn't stop me either. Just like the incident of eighteen years ago repeated again, except that the person who fell was no longer the person he loved, I did not hear his heart-breaking screams like before. I made a deal, accepted my fate and let go, the last bit of consciousness left before falling into a coma, I felt like someone was holding my body in my lap. Your heart rate is so real...

The incident was suspected to be a crime of passion. From what I'd heard, the woman had just been released from prison and was sent back again. After the attack, the court sentenced her to life in prison. The perpetrator was none other than Vivian herself. Although her eyes had been blurred out, I was still able to recognize her. Vivian used to be infatuated with Liam. I couldn't believe their relationship ended this way. I supposed they reaped what they sowed. … Years later, when Andy graduated from high school, I took him on a vacation.

"I'm sorry, Caitlyn. I had misunderstood you. I couldn't marry you in this life, but if there's a next life, I'll marry you as soon as I can." She rolled up her sleeve, revealing a new tattoo. It was a photo of us from when we were together. Through her tears, she said, "It's okay. I’ll never forget you. In the next life, I'll wait for you to marry me." Now free of attachments, I felt lighter. Slowly, I began to lose control over my form, and I realized my time in this world had come to an end. For the first time, I felt true peace. It was as if I was showing the living that death was not the end of life, but rather, the beginning of a new journey.
