View MoreMark could only chuckle softly at Julie's words, while Julie, seated beside him, squinted her eyes."You're laughing?""Of course, he'd recognize my scent. Don’t you realize the perfume I use is not something other men wear?" Mark chuckled again, his logic making sense to Julie."Ah, you're right. Anyway, I’m too tired to argue over nonsense."Julie rubbed her temples, and Mark offered a faint smile before refocusing on driving. The smile faded shortly after.It didn’t take long—just a few minutes—before they arrived at Mark’s apartment."Get some rest. I’ve got work to finish," Mark said with a smile, leaning in to kiss Julie, who was already drifting into sleep.Something was troubling him—a strange, unsettling thought playing in his mind. While Julie slept, Mark methodically removed all traces of his previous cologne and replaced it with a completely new scent. Once he was done, he left the apartment and headed to the police station to attend to his duties.As soon as Mark arrived,
The older woman sighed, her voice heavy with emotion. "I can’t stay with you all for long. I’ll head home once Elizah gets better."""She’s fine already, Mom. Look at her! She doesn’t even care about Liam anymore," Julie shot back, her tone sharp and defensive."Julie, that’s enough. Don’t talk about your sister like that. She’s been through a horrible experience—"Julie cut her off with a bitter laugh. "Oh, I understand her situation perfectly, Mom. She nearly drove me crazy with her panic! But let’s not forget, I got hurt too. My engagement crumbled at the same time!" Her voice wavered, anger and sadness bubbling up.Suddenly, a voice erupted from the other room, trembling with rage. "So I’m the bad guy now? Your fiancé assaulted me, and somehow I’m to blame?"Elizah, shaking and hysterical, stormed into the conversation. Their mom was immediately on edge, trying to calm her down, while Julie just sighed, overwhelmed and unsure what to do. Everything in her life felt like a mess.Ju
"I don't know what you're thinking. You suddenly sent me a nonsensical message, Julie. What's wrong with you?"They were now outside the apartment, facing each other, with Julie crossing her arms over her chest, clearly unwilling to care anymore."So, you think what happened between us in your apartment was something more?" Julie shook her head while Mark squinted, not understanding. "Don't act so innocent, Officer. You mean nothing to me.""Oh, really?""Go now. I don't want to see you again.""Are you mad because I didn’t contact you?""My God, I don’t want to argue anymore." She brushed Mark's arm and turned to head back to the apartment, but Mark grabbed Julie’s arm, making her turn back to him."I was busy with the investigation I was working on, Julie. Everything that happened—""And not even one moment to contact me?""Ah, now you admit it?"Julie fell silent and sighed before shaking off Mark’s hand."Don’t say nonsense!"Meanwhile, Mark just gave a slight smile, looking calm
"You don't have to force yourself to come in today, Julie," Richard said, standing in front of her as she busied herself with work. "I understand everything that's been happening to you. Liam? I can’t believe he’s targeting your sister.""What do you mean, Richard?" Julie's tone was exhausted. "Haven't I already said that this topic is off-limits?"Clearly annoyed, Julie left Richard standing there, frozen in place. She headed toward the next room, juggling a mountain of tasks with no time to think about Liam. Today was also Elizah’s last day in the hospital, which, after everything, was the one bright spot amidst the chaos."Julie, do you think Liam actually did this?"Elizah squinted at her, but Julie ignored her, disconnecting the IV line and its dangling bag."Don’t dwell on that," Julie replied, avoiding Elizah’s gaze. "You’re going home today, and you should stay at my apartment. I’ve already told Mom. She’s pretty freaked out, but don’t worry—she’ll be here today.""I'm not tal
MOMENTS AFTER THE TRAGIC INCIDENT THAT BEFELL ELIZAH HARTMAN"I heard there's a young and beautiful girl working at your place," said a man with a mustache and a repulsive gaze. "There are plenty of young and beautiful girls working at my factory. So what if there is? What's your point, huh?" The stout man retorted with a sneer, clearly displeased."No, I didn't mean anything by it. I was just asking. Besides, why doesn't she work here instead? You know, in a place like this, they'd make much more money than working—""Ah, you're such a scoundrel! From now on, don't ever meet me again. The girls working at my factory are good girls; that's why they chose to work there! Now, leave me alone." The stout man stood up and walked away, exiting the bar with its well-preserved classic ambiance."I was just complimenting his workers," the mustached man muttered before moving to sit with a group of middle-aged men. Even after being rebuked by the factory owner, they continued their discussion
After reading everything, Julie was stunned and could not deny that Liam indeed shared the DNA of the perpetrator involved with Elizah. She could only sit quietly in her place, with Mark beside her trying to console her.No words escaped her lips as she stared silently at the papers filled with data and evidence about Liam."I understand it’s hard for you to believe, but data doesn’t lie," Mark said, taking the papers from Julie’s hands. "Now, go back to your sister and let the authorities handle the rest, Miss Julie," he added."There must be a mistake," Julie said spontaneously, looking at Mark again. "I’m sure this isn’t entirely true. Elizah said that Liam wasn’t the perpetrator. There must—""Elizah's eyes were covered at that time; you saw the blindfold on her. Go back to your sister and start a new life. Forget this incident. At the very least, it saved you both from a man like Liam." Mark stood up, giving a faint smile that quickly disappeared. Meanwhile, Julie remained frozen
"Listen to me, Miss. You can't act recklessly. We don't yet know for sure who the perpetrator is, so please, stay calm.""Calm?" Julie immediately turned around, looking up at Mark, who was trying to calm her down. "What do you mean by calm? I just found my sister in a factory, half-naked, blood between her legs, and you want me to be calm, huh?" Julie's gaze was fiery with rage."Then what are you going to do? Are you going to confront Liam and accuse him without any evidence?"Hearing Mark's words, Julie was silent for a moment, but she didn’t care. She shook her head and walked away, ignoring Mark, who could only sigh before deciding to follow her, eventually agreeing to her demand."Why? Now you want to come along with me?""I have a car. Come with me. You know where Liam lives, right?" Julie nodded, and they headed to the parking lot where Mark’s car was parked. Shortly after driving on the highway, they arrived at the apartment building where Liam lived."Listen, I just want you
Blood flowed between her long legs, creating dark patterns on the grimy factory floor. Her body lay half-naked, dressed in a now-tattered sky-blue dress that barely qualified as clothing anymore. Her arms were limp, her eyelids covered by a dirty red cloth. Behind that cover, tears continued to stream down her cheeks, accompanying muffled cries laden with pain.A middle-aged man stood not far from her. He was plump, with a pale face and trembling hands. His eyes were fixed on the girl, filled with confusion and guilt. He exhaled heavily, trying to calm himself even though he had no idea what to do."How unfortunate .…" he muttered in a low voice. "Oh God, what should I do?"The man was the factory owner. And the girl lying before him was one of his factory workers.He finally reached for the phone with trembling hands. “I have to call the police,” he said to himself. However, his body froze, delaying the urgent call. Only a few minutes later, the sound of sirens pierced the silence. T
