Barry wished he could travel back in time and kill his greedy former self.But it was too late now. Nothing he said could change anything.Barry's hands trembled as he clutched his phone.

"Ms. Clearwater, I'm afraid you'll have to come in person for this one.""What do you mean?" Eulalia asked, slightly furrowing her brow.Oliver explained, "Misty hasn't left the garden since you died. It scratches anyone who tries to take it out. Neither I nor the boss dare to touch it. So we need you to come over yourself. How about this... let's set a time tomorrow, and I'll arrange for a driver to pick you up."When Eulalia heard Misty's name, her heart ached. How was that silly cat doing, the one that tried to save her from the fire? It refused to leave the villa - was it still thinking about what she said before she died last life, telling it to wait for her to come get it?"No need, I'll go there myself. 9:30 in the morning." Eulalia hung up after saying this.The five-minute call left her hair wet and sticky against her skin, very uncomfortable.

Now that she had found Misty, she couldn't bear to stay in this place a second longer.Seeing her about to leave, Percival reached out to block her path. Though he had grown thinner, his tall frame still towered over Eulalia, like an impenetrable wall."I've missed you so much these past three days," Percival said, resembling an abandoned puppy. Perhaps due to lack of rest, dark circles shadowed his eyes, which were bloodshot as if he'd been crying all night.His hoarse voice as he spoke these words would have stirred sympathy in most people.Unfortunately for him, Eulalia was not most people."I see. Now move aside," she said coldly.Percival felt as if his heart had been shot, the pain unbearable. He rubbed his face and continued, "Eulalia, when I say I missed you, I mean I felt like I

"Percival, you bastard! What did I ever do to you? I gave you my life, and it's still not enough? Do you want me to die again to be satisfied?" Eulalia shouted, hitting and cursing in Percival's arms. She wanted nothing more than to bite the man who had tormented her for most of her life.A sharp pain shot through Percival's hand, causing him to instinctively release Eulalia. He stumbled back, staring blankly at the two bloody puncture marks on the back of his hand.Time seemed to slow down. He gazed at the wounds for a moment before looking up, first at Eulalia's red-rimmed eyes, then slowly down to the cat she was cradling. Both human and feline glared at him with hatred, as if his embrace had been an unforgivable crime.Sometimes words hurt more than physical pain. Percival felt as if his heart was bleeding. Tears streamed down his face, staining his pale cheeks.The pain was unbearable, far worse than when he had been rushed to the ER during a lung cancer attack.Eulalia was so co

He leaned against the doorframe, dried blood on his fingertips, his body trembling almost imperceptibly.Oliver approached and handed him the pills. Percival coughed twice. "I don't want to take them.""You'll die if you don't."With shaking hands, Percival took the two pills from Oliver and tossed them into his mouth. Oliver offered water, but Percival pushed it away. He chewed the pills and swallowed them dry. Having just coughed up blood, his throat felt sticky and uncomfortable. The pills didn't go down smoothly, getting stuck in his throat. The bitter taste slowly spread.Percival winced, his face contorting. He wondered how Eulalia, who used to hate bitter things, managed to take these pills for three years.The bitterness

Eulalia gently stroked the singed fur of the ragdoll cat, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. Her gray eyes were filled with moisture, stinging painfully.Her eyes were either unable to cry or unable to stop once they started. Now they seemed almost blind with grief. She tilted her head back, veins bulging in her neck, mouth slightly open and eyes tightly shut as she let out a hoarse, anguished cry.Her choked, raspy voice was broken, like a rusty knife scraping against a whetstone - so harsh and painful to hear that it made one's heart clench.Victor's eyes were red too, but he turned away silently.

As much as she wanted to block out the world, cruel voices kept invading Eulalia's ears. Misty wasn't just a cat; she had saved Eulalia's life. They had promised to be together forever. Misty was family, a lifeline in her darkest moments, a light in the shadows.Eulalia's voice was hoarse, her tear-choked words barely intelligible as she called out "Misty" over and over.

Eulalia's hands trembled as she reached out to touch Misty's wounded body. Her hands came away bloody. Ropes had cut deeply into Misty's limbs, and blood covered the cat's body, tail, paws, and head."Misty..." Eulalia's eyes were terrifyingly red, dry from the intensity of her grief. The pain was so extreme she couldn't even cry.In a daze, Eulalia somehow managed to untie the ropes binding Misty. All she could see were the burn wounds on Misty's skin and the blood oozing from four small punctures in the cat's mouth. Misty's sharpest fangs had been viciously pulled out. How much agony had Misty endured?"Misty, I'm here now. Look at me. Didn't we promise to always be together?" Eulalia's body shook as she cradled the bloodied cat. "I'll cancel all my work... I'll stay by your side from now on. I'll never leave you with anyone else again.

Barry noticed the collar around the cat's neck and tried to cut it off with a knife, but it wouldn't budge. Frustrated, she gave up—she couldn’t waste time on a collar.Gripping the cat's jaw, she forced its mouth open, grabbing its sharp teeth with pliers. "You want to bite me? I’ll pull out every last tooth and see if you try that again."Misty trembled, lying helpless on the ground, bound and unable to move. After all, it was just a cat—no way to beg for mercy.Barry's eyes darkened, and with a sharp tug, a sickening crack rang out, like bones being torn from flesh. Misty's scream filled the air."Meow..." Blood spilled from the cat's mouth, staining its once-pristine fur. Misty lay there, defeated, and in that moment, all it could think about was Eulalia."I just wanted to spend more time with you... I wanted to see you again…"...After dinner, Eulalia was told to get ready for the next scene. She glanced at the door, feeling uneasy—Jane hadn't returned yet. Eulalia called her, a

Eulalia took the phone Jane handed her and attached the tracking device to Misty’s collar. “Misty's well-behaved; she won't run off.” “I know, but just in case… too many people dislike me. If they can’t get to me, they might target Misty. A tracker at least adds some safety.” Eulalia focused on the device, missing the brief flicker in Jane’s expression. Jane pressed her lips together, hesitating like she wanted to say something, but held back. “All done,” Eulalia returned the phone, noticing Jane still looked tense. She ruffled her hair. “If something’s on your mind, tell me, don’t bottle it up.” “I…” Jane started, then glanced at Misty in her arms, “I’m fine, really.” “Alright, if you say so.” Eulalia could sense something off, but couldn’t quite place it. Maybe Jane had issues at home these past few days. It wasn’t her place to pry if Jane didn’t want to talk.Just then, Reid called, telling Eulalia to get ready for her scenes. The day was packed with her shoot, and wrap

Percival’s heart felt like it was being pierced by a thousand arrows at the thought of Eulalia in bed with Victor. It was only 1 a.m. when he glanced at the clock, and he reached under his pillow for the wedding photo of him and Eulalia. In the picture, she smiled cautiously, her dimples soft, eyes gentle.

Divorce That Scumbag And Take The Lead The Anguish of Percival and Trent
Eulalia had never seen a post about herself deleted so quickly before.She sat cradling Misty in one arm, absently fingering the tag on the cat's collar. After a few minutes, her phone buzzed with a text from an unknown number:"Eulalia, I don't want you as a replacement anymore. Stay by my side and I can protect you. Percival is ruthless - if you want a better life, stay far away from that madman."Eulalia frowned as she read the message. Her fingers hovered over the keyboard to reply "Go to hell," but she thought better of it and deleted the draft. There was nothing worth saying to someone like Trent. She blocked the number and set up a custom auto-reply instead.Meanwhile, Trent was anxiously awaiting Eulalia's response. He thought he had made himself clear - surely the small-town girl would get the hint. But after half an hour of silence, doubt crept in. Had she not seen the message? Or was she too afraid to reply?He sent another text:"If you come back to me obediently, I'm will
