Especially when I know that the butler’s children and grandchildren would have a sniper on them at all times. The temperature in the house was hot, a hint that I had just stepped into hell.

I forgot to ask him this a while ago. He chuckled. “I live alone.” Then he went out of the car. “What?!” I thought. Calm down, Heather. He does not look like a bad guy, right? He opened the door for me. His residence is big. It looks like a bachelor’s pad. Those sleek, effortless looking pad houses in the movies? It literally looks like that!

My room had sealed windows, soft corners, no mirror, no lock, and a camera that watched me without blinking. A nurse stayed outside all day. If I sat up, she asked what I needed.

“No. You did it. You freed her.” Tears streamed down her cheeks. “Then why does it feel like I lost everything?” He pulled her close, holding her as the entire facility shook around them. “You didn’t lose her,” he whispered. “You just gave her peace.” A deafening explosion ripped through the lower levels.

When Jeremy was acquiring shares of my parents' company, he deliberately agitated them with news of Zachary and me dating. My parents were already exhausted and in poor health because of me, so his provocation caused them to have heart attacks immediately. Jeremy had also deliberately delayed calling for an ambulance. He personally watched as my parents died in agony. All of this was recorded by a hidden camera in his office. My father had secretly installed it before he died because he didn't trust Jeremy. In my past life, I died without ever knowing that the camera existed. In this life, the first thing I did after being reborn was send Liam to retrieve that recording.
