I didn't mind, though. I believed Liam could give us a better future.Isabel and I thoroughly fell out with each other a week after her birthday. I was bringing Liam his lunch—we'd already graduated from college. Liam had gotten a tutoring job at an association near our apartment while waiting to make his graduation dissertation.When I arrived at the association, I saw Isabel kissing Liam in front of all the parents and children, even introducing him as her boyfriend.I couldn't handle it. One was my best friend, and the other was the man I loved with all my heart. How could they betray me like that?When Liam returned home, I had a huge fight with him, and we broke up. Isabel came to my place and apologized to me, claiming that she was only trying to get inspired for her artwork.I was so angry that I didn't let her into the house. Then, I asked whether she truly liked Liam. If she did, we could compete fair and square. However, she told me she genuinely didn't feel anything for

Eugene looked at me as I lay in bed, my face wrapped in gauze and bandages. He listened as I recounted to him what had happened.Yes, he was alive. He'd even saved me from the fire.According to him, he'd found some evidence to prove something was wrong. Later, he'd gotten injured in a mission and had faked his death while on the job to make Liam lower his guard.Sure enough, Liam had fallen for the lie and quickly dealt with Joey's body before bringing it home to store it with his "masterpieces".Eugene felt guilty for not protecting me. My face and voice had been ruined in the fire. I smiled and shook my head, telling him that I was thankful enough he'd saved my life.He smiled, too. Then, he looked at the sketchbook I had on my bedside table. "Did you draw these?"I nodded. "Yeah. It's too boring here; I needed something to do."Eugene flipped through the sketchbook, his gaze landing on one in particular. I leaned over to see that it was one of a towering tree with roots that curled

Liam was surprised to see me there. Then, his smile widened manically.I held up the prosthetic arm and train tickets, asking, "What is going on with these things?"He threw some photos at me without a word. In the photos, I saw a man and a woman embracing each other tightly. They played by the ocean, kissed in the forest, and dressed similarly as they strolled through a shopping mall.There were also photos of them in bed together and… torn limbs.I immediately recognized the woman in the photos—she was none other than my best friend, Joey. The explicit and gory photos made my vision go white. I clamped a hand over my mouth, trying to stop myself from puking."You… You killed Joey?" I stammered."Killed her?" Liam was still smiling. "I would much prefer it if you called it 'getting inspiration.'"My goosebumps rose when I looked into his eyes. They were cold and emotionless."But why?" I leaned against the wall, trying to stop myself from trembling. "You could've been frank wi

The story I heard from Liam was completely different from what I knew. In his version of events, he and I were still perfect lovers. Since childhood, he'd vowed to become a renowned artist. He would use his paintbrushes to draw us a world that only we lived in.What differed from my memory was that in his world, I'd witnessed a horrific accident three months before our marriage. From then on, he'd noticed something was off about me.I frequently had illusions of him or myself being in that accident. I would also often stand on our balcony with a ragdoll and toss it into the air, making it fall to the ground below. I would tell him the doll was my substitute—my perfect stand-in.That had worried him, so he'd taken me to the hospital. After a series of checks, the doctor diagnosed me with schizophrenia. I'd been forced to remain at the hospital for treatments until my birthday.Liam had taken me home so we could celebrate my birthday together, but I'd broken free and run off to Joey.

Liam was hospitalized for two months. I picked him up on the day he was discharged and ran into the culprit and their family. I was no longer the furious woman I'd been when waiting outside the ICU. In fact, I nodded calmly at them in greeting.Liam had lost weight over the past two months. His eyes were no longer as bright as they'd been in the past—there was a veil of gloominess over them now. He had ultimately still become a shell of the outstanding man he'd once been. He now looked like a lifeless puppet.I started avoiding him after bringing him home. What I'd experienced in my past life had become a nightmare I couldn't dispel.Liam was already devastated by his loss, so my actions only fueled his pessimism. He often raged at me, shouting, "You want to leave me because you think I'm worthless now, don't you? No, you've been wanting to leave me even before this."Don't think I don't know about you being flirty with that senior of yours. Now that I'm a piece of trash, you can g

When I woke up again, I found myself lying on the couch at home, still terrified from my experience. Liam came out of the kitchen with a slice of cake, making me jolt in shock.To my surprise, I found that the stab wounds all over my body had disappeared. I wasn't in pain, either. It was as if nothing had ever happened.Liam looked at me, gentle as ever. "Are you that stunned by the surprise? Hurry up and eat your cake. You were clamoring about wanting this, remember? I went to line up outside the store early this morning. Happy birthday, my gorgeous Izzy. I hope every day of your future will be as happy as today."I broke out in a cold sweat when I saw his uninjured arm. It looked like I'd been reborn on the day of Liam's accident. The bloodiness of my past life was still vivid in my mind, and I wanted to flee despite having a high fever. I had to get away from Liam, who was a monster!He didn't understand what was happening and thought he'd done something wrong to upset me. He follow
