A week after getting into a cold war with Alexander Griffin, his friends drag me to a private room. They drink and smoke inside, not caring that I have asthma. My breathing speeds up and it starts to get difficult for me. My hands tremble as I call Alexander and tell him I'm about to die. However, he's with his childhood sweetheart. He doesn't answer my calls. He finally answers when I'm about to pass out, but all he does is berate me. "You're old enough to know not to be so childish, Isabelle. Why would you think of joking around with your life? "Sasha's injured, and I'm tending to her wound—it's my duty as a doctor. Don't tell me you're jealous over that! For the last time, there's nothing between Sasha and me. It's up to you whether you believe it!" Later, I die in that private room. His friends throw my body into the sea to cover up their crimes. One day, Alexander finds my journal. That's when he loses his mind…

Caleb and the others did not hold back. "It's not like we're blind to what Sasha feels for you. We grew up together, and it's part of our brotherly obligation to help set her up with you!""Besides, you never brought Isabelle to any of our hangouts, and you expected us to believe things you were serious about her? We were trying to help you out, but you turned on us!""We didn't want her to die. She called you that night, didn't she? You brushed her off and said she was being jealous. We heard it loud and clear, too! Why should we be the only ones responsible for her death? You are equally guilty!"Alexander did not interject or cut them off. When they were done speaking, he broke his silence. "You're right. I am guilty. I shouldn't have given off mixed signals and let you guys believe I wasn't serious about Isabelle… And I shouldn't have dismissed her last call for help."But what I'd like to know is how the three of you saw her struggling in her last moments and did nothing to he

The police retrieved the footage 20 minutes later and immediately told Alexander to see it for himself.In the footage, I got to my feet twice to leave and, in no uncertain words, told Caleb and his buddies that I couldn't stand the smell of smoke.After that, I called Alexander for help. When I fell to the floor, convulsing and gasping for air, they thought I was acting and did not bother to try and save me. The security footage showed me clawing at the door to open it while the despicable trio watched and laughed.It wasn't until I had stopped breathing that they panicked. The footage showed them discussing among themselves and deciding to dump my body into the ocean.The audio from the footage gave clear and irrebuttable evidence that Caleb and his friends had caused my death. As Sasha had said, they weren't trying to intimidate or warn me.So, this was the long-awaited moment of truth.After watching the footage, Alexander was unusually calm. The officers in the lounge approa
Losing Her Chapter 10
Alexander was like a man possessed after reading my diary. He left home that night and asked around for my whereabouts. Not that he could find me; I was already dead and swallowed up by the ocean.He probably had a feeling that something terrible had happened to me, but denial had him holding onto false hope. He stopped going to work at the hospital and huddled up at home, waiting for me to return.When his so-called friends found him in such a reclusive state, they told him not to get so depressed over a woman. Infuriated, he threw them out of the house.Sasha seized the chance to shower Alexander with concern. She told him to cheer up and said I probably ran off with another guy.Alexander roared at her to shut up.About two weeks after my disappearance, the police got a call about a body found floating at sea. The caller had been swimming at the beach when they stumbled upon the corpse.When the police informed Alexander about this, they were taken aback by his pale, gaunt fac

I sat in the passenger seat and heard Alexander mutter to himself, "Please, Isabelle. Please be alright."I couldn't help snorting. Oh, so now he decided to pray that I was alive and well. And yet, this was the same guy who left me for dead when I called him to save me the other day. How ironic.At that moment, Alexander's phone rang with a call from an unknown number. Thinking there was an update on my case, he put it through. "Hi, is this about Isabelle—""Hello? Is this Mr. Griffin from Apartment 609? I'm calling from management, and we've received complaints about a suitcase in your apartment stairwell that's been there for days. Is there a reason why you haven't brought it home?"Alexander returned to the apartment and froze at the sight of the forgotten pink suitcase. He couldn't have known what I felt when I packed the suitcase, and he certainly wouldn't understand why I had left it on the stairwell.He brought the suitcase home and turned the numbers on the combination loc

Naturally, I couldn't reply to any of Alexander's messages that night. At that point, he started to panic. He even swallowed his pride and called me.All he got from the other end of the phone was a mechanical female voice telling him the same old line. "Hello, the number you dialed cannot be reached. Please leave a message after the beep."My phone remained switched off. Three calls later, Alexander gave up and found my parents' numbers instead. He called them, and my mom answered.The poor woman was blissfully unaware of my death as she asked Alexander if I was adjusting to life in the city or whether I had lost weight. He asked anxiously, "Laura, isn't Izzy there with you?"My mom replied, "No. She said she was going back to the city to do some shopping for the wedding. Why would she be back? Wait, shouldn't she be home at this hour?"Alexander quickly softened his tone to keep her from worrying. "Oh, she must have gone out to shop for candy for the goodie bags. I'll go pick he

Alexander did not see the suitcase I had left by the stairwell.He went to work, as usual, the next few days, and he resumed texting me, too. "I'm off work the day after tomorrow. Why don't we go to the beach? You've been wanting to go, right?""Where did you put the new toothbrush? I can't find it. Just text me.""How's your mom's lumbar hernia? Maybe you could bring your mom over to the hospital for an assessment. I could put in a word with Dr. Olsen for you.""It's been days. I've already apologized, and I told you Sasha is nothing more than a sister to me. Why won't you believe me?"Sasha had left the hospital the day after she was brought into the ER for her scrapes and scratches. She could have been discharged on the day itself, but when Alexander mentioned he did not plan on going home that night, she insisted on keeping him company.After leaving the hospital, she did not leave Alexander alone and called to pester him to go drinking with her. However, he turned her down w
