On our wedding anniversary, Eugene tied me up on the rooftop of an unfinished building.

He sat calmly before me, playing a video with deliberate slowness.

In the video, my father knelt repeatedly, begging Eugene for my sake.

My eyes burned with rage, but Eugene kicked me violently, snapping, "Do you feel distressed seeing your father like this? But how can it compare to even a fraction of the sorrow I felt when I lost Megan?"

The sudden pain caused me to arch my back, and darkness clouded my vision, almost sending me into unconsciousness, yet I was powerless to scream.

Earlier, Eugene had silenced me with boiling oil, turning my breath into a torment.

The pleasure of making me suffer was evident on Eugene's face.

He grasped my chin, his eyes bloodshot, his hatred brimming. "Sherlyn, how could you be so despicable as to have Mega bullied to death? Sherlyn, why didn't you die instead of her?"

He shouted the last line, roaring like a beast at me.

"Megan?" I thought, struggling to recall the face that matched the name.

Finally, a youthful, pretty, and vivacious face emerged from my memory.

It dawned on me. Eugene not only loved Megan deeply, but he also believed that I had orchestrated that bullying.

Eugene and I grew up together.

In our third year of high school, we both made it to the elite class, ready to fight our last year for our dream universities.

With my current abilities, I was guaranteed admission to my dream school, with a shot at the best two schools.

Under my supervision and tutoring, Eugene could easily make it to a nice university too.

It all depended on whether he could hold on for this final year.

But then, Megan transferred to our school.

She was beautiful, fair, and slender, with a smile that curved her eyes into crescents.

She wore a modified school uniform that accentuated her figure to perfection.

At 17 or 18, boys were full of passion.

Countless boys had their eyes on Megan, Eugene among them.

His parents were strict, not allowing him to make any mistakes.

The vigorous Megan was like a rose blooming in his ivory tower, irresistible to him.

When Megan arrived, I was secretly in love with Eugene.

I couldn't bear to see him fall from grace under Megan's influence.

So, I repeatedly tried to prevent their interactions.

After a few failed attempts, Megan grew to hate me.

She confronted me in the stairwell, away from others. "Sherlyn, just wait and see. Eugene will be mine sooner or later."

Little did I expect that she would stage a bullying scheme, specifically targeting her and Eugene, to frame me and drive us apart.

What a childish and foolish act!

Yet both Eugene and I fell for it.

I saved Eugene that day, but Megan died accidentally in that alley due to the thugs' recklessness.

As I recalled the past, Eugene closed his eyes, hiding the sadness in them. "Sherlyn, you killed Megan."

3

I calmed down and looked into Eugene's furious eyes, shaking my head frantically.

I tried to convince him that I hadn't orchestrated the bullying.

Eugene bent down, pressing a burning cigarette onto my cheek, his smile sinister. "Sherlyn, your father is already waiting for you in hell."

Chills ran down my spine, and tears streamed uncontrollably down my cheeks.

A suffocating ache welled up in my chest as if my internal organs were being sliced by sharp knives.

"You killed Megan, and this is what you deserve. If you hadn't planned that bullying, Megan and I wouldn't be separated by death."

The first sentence was spoken through gritted teeth, filled with seething hatred.

But the second sounded calm, tinged with barely perceptible agony.

I knelt on the ground, staring at him.

Tears flowed into my mouth, leaving a bitter taste.

    That was truly hateful and ridiculous. I laughed at Eugene for degrading to the point of loving a scheming woman who tried to destroy everything he had. I laughed at myself even more, for not misjudging people and thus bringing harm to my family. Ignoring the pain radiating through my body, I gritted my teeth and pushed myself up, leaning on the window ledge. As I approached Eugene, I suddenly leaped forward and bit his ear. Eugene, enraged by my action, kicked me viciously on the foot. A piercing pain shot through my ankle, and I stumbled back a few steps. Suddenly, my body was suspended in mid-air, plummeting downwards... In a daze, I saw Eugene give me a cold, mocking smile. "Sherlyn, this is your karma! If there's a next life, I'll definitely correct my mistake and never let go of Megan again. As for you, go to hell and reunite with your damn father!' 4The pain of my bones shattering and piercing through my internal organs pulled at my nerves. The sensation of falling

    "Mr. Tanner, sorry for disturbing you. Let's just leave it at that." Eugene then turned to me with a faint smile. "Sherlyn, stop it. I'm not going to hold you accountable."I thought, "Ugh, how did I not see through his act in my previous life?" I felt a wave of nausea. "Eugene, what gives you the right to hold me accountable? And who said I was trying to prove my innocence?"Without hesitation, I called the police and stated firmly, "Sir, I've been assaulted at school. I need help."Upon hearing this, Jaycee stared at me in disbelief, her face livid with anger. "Sherlyn, why are you like this now?"She said the same thing to me in my past life.After Eugene suppressed my family in my previous life, I barged into their home to seek Jaycee's help. But she ignored our past friendship, saying calmly, "You made Eugene lose his beloved girl. He hates you, and I naturally can't help you. Besides, Sherlyn, why are you like this now? You broke into our home without any manners."This tim

After that, Eugene kept standing outside our house for three nights.On the third evening, it was drizzling.Eugene remained rooted to the spot, soaking wet but unmoving. Frustrated, I reluctantly got dressed and went downstairs.The moment he saw me, his eyes lit up, and he flashed me a smile. "Sherlyn, you're finally willing to see me."I dodged his attempt to hold my hand, saying in a flat tone, "Eugene, no matter what you do, I'm determined to call off our engagement.""Sherlyn, have you fallen for someone else?" Eugene choked out, his hands by his side clenched into fists.It seemed like he was bearing a great injustice.Looking at Eugene like this, I couldn't help but feel amused. He was always like this, wanting to keep his options op

    Megan looked up at me with a hidden smirk in her eyes. I had known since my previous life that Megan always hated me because I excelled academically, came from a good family, and had good looks, while she had nothing else to boast about except her face.What bothered her the most was that she was a needy student receiving financial aid. Therefore, she couldn't wait to see me fail.Unable to do anything directly to me due to my background, she resorted to Eugene.Getting Eugene on her side would not only allow her to climb up the social ladder as she imagined but also crush my spirit severely.Unfortunately, Eugene was completely unaware of this.I didn't bother listening to her nonsense and simply stared at her, asking, "Was it really me who hired those people to attack you two?"A fleeting nervousness flashed across Megan's face, but she quickly regained her composure.

Little did I expect that this step would lead me straight into the abyss.Remembering the gruesome scene before my father's death, I struggled to suppress my anger. "On what basis must I save you two?
