Flowers Are Bait Ch 9

Mon fiancé Roch Martin m'a séquestrée dans son sous-sol pendant dix jours pour venger son amie d'enfance. Il m'a tranché les bras, condamnant mon corps, déjà fragile à cause de mon trouble de la coagulation, à une lente hémorragie. Le jour de notre mariage, il a maudit mon « retard », croyant aux calomnies de cette même amie qui m'accusait d'adultère. Ses mensonges ont tué ma mère, morte d'infarctus sous l'outrage. Pourtant, quand il a découvert mon cadavre desséché, c'était lui qui a sombré dans la folie...

À cause de ma négligence, Sophia, la chérie de Leo, s'était étouffée avec une gorgée d'eau de mer. Il est devenu fou de rage et m'a enfermée dans le sombre cachot d'eau. « Catherine, tout ce que Sophia a enduré, tu le paieras au double ! » Mon instinct de survie m'a poussée à me transformer en louve. Je me suis cognée la tête contre la cage de fer encore et encore, implorant sa pitié. Mais Leo m'a enchaîné les membres avec des chaînes de fer et a ordonné à ses subordonnés de continuer à inonder la chambre. « Une misérable jalouse comme toi n'apprendra l'obéissance qu'à travers la souffrance. » « Reste là et souffre pour tes fautes. » Il a scellé lui-même la porte de fer du cachot d'eau et a interdit à tout le monde de s'en approcher. À maintes reprises, je tendais le cou pour avaler l'air rare, hurlant de désespoir. Mais l'eau glacée qui montait me submergeait peu à peu. Je continuai à me débattre jusqu'à ce que je n'aie plus aucune force. Une semaine plus tard, dans sa grande miséricorde, il a décidé de mettre fin à mon châtiment. Ce qu'il ignorait, c'est que les serpents d'eau avaient déjà rongé mon corps jusqu'à le rendre méconnaissable.

Campus food deliveries vanished so often that no one even commented anymore. Then it happened to me again and again. I never identified the thief, but by New Year's Eve I was finished with being an easy mark. I set out a bowl of soup as bait and soaked it with water wrung from an old bathroom mop. I meant to make whoever stole it regret touching my food. A week later, the police did not come for the thief. They came for me. The counselor slid a penalty notice across his desk—600 dollars for food costs and medical fees, due next week. The person who ate my food had been hospitalized for "poisoning." The school was already discussing a major demerit, the cancellation of my first-class scholarship, and the loss of my needs-based stipend. That stipend was the money keeping my sick mother alive. They planned to pin everything on me, shield the real culprit, and bury me under paperwork. Unfortunately for them, they chose the wrong target. I was the law department's resident argument addict, and I intended to turn their dirty little mediation into a public collapse.

It is 9:00 pm, and a soft glow still lights the master bedroom on the Lowe residence's second floor. "Helena, there's only a month left before the marriage agreement ends. Once it's up, I'll go ahead and arrange the fake death." Sitting at her vanity, Bianca Lane types the message and sends it to her mother-in-law, Helena Johnson. A reply comes back almost instantly. "Bianca, you've worked so hard these past ten years. You've taken such good care of Sebastian and even gave birth to a child for our family. "To me, you've always been my daughter-in-law. Why not just forget about the agreement?" Reading the message, Bianca unconsciously tightens her grip on her phone before quickly typing her response. "No, Helena. Let's just stick to the agreement."

That guy, enthusiastic as fire, sometimes cold to the point of selfishness. If the game has already begun, who will be willing to take the final step?

Until she wakes up on a deserted island, my god, his world is dangerous! With a girl who only knows how to grow flowers and earn money like her? She didn't like this joke at all!

To Rian's surprise, the strong man was suffering because of her. Perhaps Rian realized, love made her a winner.
