Eulalia, catching the scent of smoke from Percival, couldn’t help but cough, a tear streaking down her cheek. Percival rose and said, “I’ll contact the lawyer right away to get him here,” before leaving the room. Eulalia watched his departing figure, gently wiping the tear from her eye corner. She felt an overwhelming coldness, as though winter had come early, her blood chilled as if laced with ice shards.

She didn’t want to cry, yet the more she wiped, the more her tears fell. She covered her mouth, suppressing the heartache that throbbed within. Meanwhile, Percival was outside, calling the lawyer to draft a divorce agreement. He chose the same lawyer as before, who was momentarily stunned upon hearing “divorce agreement.” It seemed only recently they had battled in court, with Percival adamant against divorce. Why this sudden change?

Mr. Win, uncertain of Percival’s intentions, hurriedly dressed and rushed to Repulse Bay, making the usual hour-long journey in forty minutes. The agre

    Six years ago, on one fateful night, Percival had an accident and fell into the water. He had a fatal flaw - a deep fear of water and an inability to swim, bluntly speaking, he was like a duck on land.That night, he thought he was going to die in the water until a blurry figure plunged into the water and forcefully pulled him up.In December, with a thin layer of ice over the lake, his body was freezing cold, feeling as if it was being scraped by knives, and his blood seemed to contain ice shards.Percival’s thoughts returned to that night six years ago. His expression was incredibly complex as he sat in a room lit only by an orange-hued lamp, casting light into every corner.Eulalia, in his arms, was unknowingly shedding tears, grateful that her face, turned away from Percival, hid her tear-blurred visage.“When exactly was this, six years ago?”“December 25th, around midnight, in the northern suburbs...” As Percival recounted, the once blurry memories in his mind started to become

    Eulalia stood at the entrance of the government building, her eyes brimming with a smile as she looked towards Percival.“I am finally free,” Eulalia’s words drifted to him with the wind, “Percival, I never owed you anything.”Indeed, Eulalia had never owed him anything. Even if she had, she had long since paid her dues. In contrast, he had unscrupulously taken advantage of her love, like a cuckoo occupying another’s nest.Percival seemed to see the confident and vibrant Eulalia from six years ago, the only difference being that she was then full of health and vitality. Now... she was covered in wounds.At that moment, Percival felt an immense distance between them, as if he could never reach where Eulalia was, not even in a lifetime.The weather forecast had warned of rain and advised bringing umbrellas, but neither of them had one.They both walked into the rain together, Percival clutching the divorce certificate tightly in his hand, looking at Eulalia who was only a few inchesaway

    As the footsteps approached, Eulalia could finally see the person entering. The newcomer wore a Ghost King mask, revealing deep amber eyes and thin lips curved in a faint, sinister smile. Tall, over 6 feet in height, with a slender and imposing figure, the person exuded a cold, oppressive aura.Eulalia trembled from head to toe, her fear palpable in the unfamiliar environment, the unknown predicament, and especially towards this person. She could tell from everything around her that this individual was adept at tormenting others.Accompanying him were two men in black, their faces obscured by eerie black and white masks that left only their mouths and eyes visible.Eulalia, feigning composure, locked eyes with the man in the Ghost King mask, unflinchingly stating, “You are not Cassius.”The man raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. He had just heard Eulalia’s fear-stricken voice in the surveillance room and did not expect her to regain her composure so quickly. Indeed, Percival’s wom

    Warning: This chapter contains graphic descriptions of torture and intense physical and emotional distress.Eulalia’s collarbone was exquisitely beautiful, a feature that the man seemed to relish destroying. Lying on a wooden plank, Eulalia was in such agony that death seemed preferable. She begged for death, but her pleas only intensified his brutality.Her speech was slurred due to an anesthetic injection; she couldn’t even utter a word, let alone bite off her tongue in defiance. The man tormented her to the brink of insanity, rendering the polygraph strapped to her head useless. He appeared lost in his cruel game until reminded by his subordinate.Regaining his composure, his eyes narrowed slightly. “Eulalia, answer my questions properly, and if I’m satisfied, I’ll let you go,” he stated.Eulalia, with half-closed eyes and teardrops clinging to her lashes, looked utterly defeated, her eyes devoid of any light. The man, holding a map, interrogated her: “Which direction did Percival

    Warning: This chapter contains graphic descriptions of torture and intense physical and emotional distress.Eulalia was forcibly held aloft, her eyes widened as though being drawn upwards, incapable of closing. Her typically captivating pupils had turned blood-red, so intensely hued they appeared on the verge of bleeding.The bindings around her wrists were slackened, followed by those encircling her neck and ankles. The blood-drenched chains clattered to the ground.A scent reminiscent of rust pervaded the air. Eulalia reclined on a wooden plank, her breaths shallow. Her chest motionless; were her eyes not open, one might presume her deceased.The jagged object embedded in her collarbone remained unextracted. At the end of a slender chain dangled a silver hook, akin to a fish hook piercing through gills.Eulalia tumbled from the board to the earth, propelled by the man’s force. Prostrate, blood dripped from the corner of her mouth to the floor.“Summon the fool we apprehended two day

    Vincent could do nothing but watch helplessly as steel needles pierced Eulalia’s nails during their torturous ordeal. His emotions gradually crumbled as he crawled forward, his back pressed down by a crushing force, repeatedly falling under the unbearable weight.“Kill me, please! Just kill me and spare Eula, please don’t do this to her...” His memories had only recently returned, with a 15-year gap. The most vivid memory he had was of Eulalia. He knew she was terrified of pain and couldn’t bear the sight of her fingers being pierced by steel needles, watching her nails crack and fall off amidst blood and flesh.The man glanced at Vincent with a mocking look, then turned to Eulalia, asking, “Shall we continue?” Eulalia, drenched in cold sweat from pain, seemed deaf to his words, tremblingly redialing a number on her phone.Still, no one answered. Eulalia’s hands were covered in blood; eventually, she lacked the strength to press the keys, and the man dialed for her. On the tenth call,

    The doctor had seen countless patients and injuries, but never had he encountered someone as severely injured as Eulalia.Her wounds were so grave that they sent shivers down anyone′s spine. The person who did this to her would be insulted by being called an animal.After hearing the doctor’s words, Percival felt numb, as if cut off from the world, engulfed in darkness.Exhausted, the doctor continued, “I can’t imagine how she endured until now.”The doctor′s empathy was strong. When Eulalia was being treated in the ICU, every medical staff member furrowed their brows in concern.“Sir, I must tell you in advance, her ten fingers were filled with steel needles. Even if the wounds heal, she’ll be disabled,” the doctor said in an even tone, but the words struck Percival like a dagger.Percival, confused and distraught, asked, “Disabled? What do you mean?”“The nerves in her fingers are destroyed. She can live a normal life, but won′t be able to use her hands as before. Writing or typing

    Percival stared at the screen, his heart sinking as he saw Eulalia’s stomach, twisted and overrun with cancer cells. The room fell into a haunting silence.“Is that Eulalia’s stomach?” he whispered, disbelief in his voice.The nurse’s words hit him like a barrage of arrows. “Sir, if you’re still in denial, thinking these medical records are forged, these images fake, ask yourself - have you not seen her in agonizing stomach pain, unable to sleep through the night?”“Have you not seen her vomit blood?!” the nurse pressed on, her voice growing more intense. “Have you not seen her faint from the pain and rushed to the hospital? Normal stomach issues don’t cause such suffering!”Each question was like a bomb exploding in Percival’s mind, sending shockwaves through his entire being. A cold shiver ran from his feet to the nape of his neck. He wanted to argue, to deny, but words failed him. His face, usually so composed, now betrayed a flicker of panic.No matter how much he didn’t want to b

    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. He couldn't show any weakness, afraid he wouldn't be able to support Eulalia if he did.Kneeling on the ground, Eulalia slowly scattered dirt over Misty's body, burying her until she was no longer visible. Eulalia's thin frame shook violently, her fragmented sobs growing from quiet to loud as her grief reached its peak.Eulalia had never imagined she could feel heartbreak like t

    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. The pain in her chest was unbearable, desperately needing something to fill the void. Her grip on Victor's shirt loosened as she clutched Misty's collar tightly to her heart."Eulalia," Victor whispered. The girl in his arms was ice-cold, shivering uncontrollably. Her anguished sobs had faded to quiet whimpers.Even after crying her heart out, Eulalia wasn't feeling any better. Her veins were bulging, her temples throbbing. Her body alternated between freezing shivers and feverish heat, her back burning and itching.Victor's heart clenched. He opened his mouth, but no words of comfort came out.Kneeling down, Victor g

    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. Please, just hang on a little longer..."Misty lay in Eulalia's arms, struggling to open her eyes at the sound of Eulalia's voice.It's Eulalia... E

    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. The photo wasn’t big, but he pressed it to his chest alongside the well-worn journal he often read, then lay back down.That night, he didn’t dream. But when he woke, his eyes were damp, his face sticky with tears that left his skin stinging.As a cancer patient, Percival's body was weak, and he often caught colds easily. The open window and a night of cold wind, combined with the emotional breakdown after seeing the picture Victor posted, left him feverish.The housekeeper was the first to notice and rushed to inform Mr. Lee, who promptly called for a doctor. The doctor came, measured Percival's temperature, and set up an IV. But as the doctor tried to insert the needle, he noticed

    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
