The system had informed me that Vincent had been locked in the basement for days. I cautiously walked in and overheard a woman's anguished moans.It was Irene.I navigated the cold, damp walls until I found him. There stood Vincent, close to her, clutching a small knife. His expression was dark and manic."You told me," he snarled, his voice low and trembling, "that if I buried my love for Kels, she would stay with me. So, I did it. "I forced myself to love you, Irene. And yet… why did she still leave me?"Irene was tortured to the point that she was almost breathless. "You deserve this, Vincent!" she spat weakly, her words laced with bitterness. "Did you really love me? Take a look at the heart beating in my chest. It's Kelsey's! You deceived me! You swapped out her heart and put it inside me! This heart won't last through the month, will it?""So what? Are you worthy of her? If it weren't for your tricks, she would still be alive! You're the one who killed her!" he shouted

"If you kill her, I will never forgive you!"Although Irene was hateful, she wasn't worth Frank risking his future."I… I won't. I'll listen to you, Mom," Frank said as he tugged me carefully.I sighed as I looked at him.At the orphanage entrance, I ran into Wesley Reinz."I didn't expect you to be here, Mr. Reinz. Is 'The Killer 2' wrapped up?"Wesley looked at me guiltily and said, "I'm sorry… I didn't know…"'The Killer' was a script I wrote six years ago. It was also one of the books Irene stole. At that time, I had already ironed out most of the details with Wesley online. After Irene impersonated me, she replaced me and completed the rest of the filming on-site."I thought she was you. I'm sorry about that. I should have realized it sooner!"Back then, Wesley was only 23 years old. He became famous and got many awards because of this piece. Meanwhile, Irene rose to fame as the screenwriter of the project. She quickly became a national celebrity, and rumors of a se

After Irene returned to the country, she sought me out in the basement. At that time, Wesley was already preparing to film 'The Killer 2'. Irene threatened me with Frank in exchange for the manuscript. I was extremely reluctant to do so. However, under her coercion, I was forced to write the script for 'The Killer 2' in the end. When I got back, I added more details and sent it to Wesley. Vincent was a ticking time bomb. Hence, the most effective solution was to orchestrate his demise. 'You only have seven days left!' the system said hastily. That was why I didn't dare to love Frank. Engaging in this narrative meant using my own life as a bargaining chip to ensure the demise of the story's protagonist. Frank inherited the Carson Corporation, but he was still too young. Thus, I temporarily placed the company under the Reinz Film Studio. After Frank turned 18, he would take over the company officially. Also, I changed both Mille and Frank's names. Now, they shared t

Her inherent kindness meant she would never have consented to my plan invo

Kelsey indeed provoked Irene. She fainted to test my true feelings. I had already contacted the hospital since Kelsey's body wouldn't last through the month. At that moment, Frank thought I was going to harm her and wanted to send her away again. I considered Frank naive. After all, Kelsey was my everything!When Kelsey was first taken to the basement, Frank stayed up all night. I told him that Kelsey had gone to a faraway place and needed to please Irene to get her back. Frank was compliant.Every interaction with Irene was an act of appeasement on his part, much to her delight. The day before Kelsey emerged, I feared Frank might reveal the truth. I reminded him sternly to keep pleasing Irene, or we might lose Kelsey forever.Frank performed well. However, I found myself unable to meet Kelsey's gaze. On the drive, Kelsey asked if I intended to kill her. Her question shocked me. How could she think that? She was the one I would protect with my life!Yet, I couldn't

As I was wheeled out of the basement, I caught sight of Vincent Carson carefully braiding Irene Yatez's hair. My useless son stood off to the side, clapping his little hands with glee."Irene, you're so beautiful! Dad, when are you going to marry her?"Vincent shared a warm smile with Irene, who bashfully lowered her head. The creak of my wheelchair cut through the serene moment.Vincent looked at me indifferently. "Three years ago, you sabotaged Irene's chance to win that award. Do you regret it now?"I raised my eyes briefly to meet his. After three years of being imprisoned in a basement, I was already extremely disappointed with him.Silence hung between us as I looked away, focusing on my legs. Irene's voice, syrupy and soft, broke the quiet. "Vincent, are you still upset with me?"During the finals, she took my manuscript. I was so frightened that I went to the media. I could never have foreseen my fans reacting so wildly…"'Fans? She has the nerve to call them fans, huh?'

I was wheeled into the guest room, and just a few minutes later, Frank stormed in."Why did you come out?" His voice seethed with anger. "Dad and Irene were perfectly happy until you showed up, and then she faints. Why must you always ruin everything?"The last time I saw Frank, he was just three years old and starting kindergarten. He would rush into my arms every day after school, bubbling with stories from his day. Whenever his teacher handed out snacks, he would secretly save some and bring them home to me."Mom, I love you the most! Even more than Dad!"I was away for only three years, and yet, everything had changed.The disdain on his face now mirrored his father's perfectly."I don't want to see you! Go back to the basement!" His eyes brimmed with frustrated tears, and as he spoke, he shoved my wheelchair toward the door.Before we reached it, Vincent stepped in front of us, blocking the exit."Where are you taking her?" he asked, his voice sharp.Frank faltered, his
