After spending the past days with Gilbert, she still could not believe what the warden said. She kept thinking of reasons to disprove the warden's accusation.She clenched her hands and said tensely, "I found two of your jailers who said Gilbert had nothing to do with the fire.""What do they know? They were just taking my orders, and it was I who liaised with Gilbert. At first, I didn't dare to do it, but Gilbert promised he would take all responsibility for it in case things went wrong. I asked him why he did it and why he had to burn the woman named Kisa; he said he hated her and would only be happy to see her die a horrible death."'He would only be happy to see me die a horrible death? Heh, did he really say that? Were all the tenderness and affection he had shown me all these days a lie? But why did he have to go to such lengths to deceive me if it was a lie? If he really hated me, he could have just taken revenge on me by killing me straight away. Why bother beating around th
"Kisa!" Jensen called out, rushing to catch her falling body.Kisa's vision went dark. In the darkness, she kept running and shouting Gilbert's name, desperate to see him, wanting to get clarification from him. But there was nothing but darkness in front of her eyes. It seemed that no matter how fast she ran, she could not find the light, and no matter how loud she shouted, Gilbert would not appear."Kisa, Kisa, wake up, Kisa."'Who is it? Who is calling me with such an anxious voice?' She struggled to open her eyes, and her vision was still blurry. When her vision got better, she saw Jensen's anxious eyes."Are you alright, Kisa?" It hurt Jensen to see her reddened eyes.Kisa looked at him, dumbfounded, tears slipping from the corners of her eyes. "I couldn't believe what he said... he said Gilbert was the one who was behind the prison fire. How is that possible?" She spoke with a trembling and sobbing voice.She sounded so heartbreakingly fragile that Jensen could not help but
Jensen quickly pulled her back. "It is dark now, and it is raining again. How are you going to get there in this condition? Listen to me; I will go with you to confront him tomorrow.""I can't wait that long. I hate waiting."Kisa brushed his hand away, looking determined. "I have to ask him and get an answer from him tonight, no matter what."Jensen pursed his lips, not knowing what more to say."Thank you, Jensen." Kisa glanced at him, then turned and strode out, slamming the door shut behind her. She went without even taking an umbrella.Jensen leaned back against the cabinet, feeling terrible. He lit a cigarette and looked at Adrien with cold eyes. "Are you happy now?"Adrien leaned back in his chair and smoked absently. "This is nothing compared to the pain I suffered back then.""Heh..." Jensen laughed with sarcasm. "Oh, yeah. Your love is the greatest. After your love was broken, you decided that no one else should deserve it. You are so selfish and heartless.""Selfish
Kisa's face changed as she knew by intuition the other car was coming toward her. She hurriedly turned the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes. The next thing she knew, she heard the screech of the tires and her car hitting something, then crashed into the guardrail. The other car just grazed her car and disappeared in the rain in a flash. Because she had stepped on the brakes in time, the damage was not serious even though the front of the car had hit the guardrail. It only suffered a slightly dented front bumper and scratches. But because of the tremendous inertia, Kisa hit her head on the steering wheel, ending up with a few bruises and minor bleeding.She sat back up and leaned stiffly back in the driver's seat, her hands on the steering wheel trembling. After a long while, she leaned on the steering wheel and cried, her tense emotions bursting at once. She cried and trembled, her voice sounding fragile and miserable."Gilbert, why?" She cried out with resentment and helples
Kelvin shook his head.Nobody knew what kind of profound hatred Madalyn had against Kisa.However, Madalyn's determination seemed a little strange to them.Perhaps only Madalyn knew the answer to that question. However, she flat-out refused to say anything about it, and that was why they were so puzzled."Give me a cigarette."With his eyes bloodshot, Gilbert lifted his gaze to look at Kelvin.Kelvin immediately did as Gilbert said.Then, Gilbert stood up and went to the window.He opened the window slightly, and a gust of cold wind and raindrops flew into the room.Gilbert lit up the cigarette and took a drag. His emotionless face looked desolate.His cigarette burned out.Then, he looked at Kelvin with a blank smile. "My grandma is actually willing to die to stop me from getting together with Kisa. Is there really anything I can do to fix this?"Kelvin pursed his lips. He did not know what to say.He only asked softly after pausing for a while, "What's your plan then? A-
Suddenly, Gilbert lifted the edge of his mouth at Madalyn.The smile looked cold and a little contemptuous. "Grandma, why is it necessary for you to think that I got back together with Kisa just because I still love her, or I'm devoted to her?"Kelvin paused and stared at Gilbert.'What is he talking about?'Madalyn was also shocked but she refused to believe him.Then, she snapped. "Don't even try. Did you really think that I'd believe you? How stupid do you think I am? Why don't you try something new instead?"Kelvin was speechless.'She's right. I can't even find myself to believe in what he said now, let alone his grandma.'However, Gilbert smiled again, looking very unpredictable.He leaned toward the window and said unconcernedly at Madalyn, "Do you know why I wouldn't leave her alone and why I treat her so well these days?"Madalyn did not answer his rhetorical question.Kelvin ignored him too.Then, Gilbert continued speaking as he chuckled softly, "That's because I
Madalyn looked at Gilbert, wide-eyed in shock.Kelvin thought that he was lying, but he did not say anything."Finding the guards in Hillsby was just a part of my plan. I bribed them before bringing Kisa there. I even hired some killers and set up some traps along the way just to make her trust me."Otherwise, do you really think that I and her would make it out alive if the killers were real? Hmph. They were only some actors I hired to fool her."Kisa felt very cold as she stood outside.The ran through every part of her body as she shivered.Madalyn looked at Gilbert suspiciously.She furrowed her brows and asked, "There's something I don't understand. Didn't you already know that she set you up, but didn't hurt me? Why would you still do this to her? That's so unnecessary.""I only sent her to prison back then because I thought she was the one who did all the bad things, and I hated her so much for it. However, I came up with another way to get back at her after knowing that
Madalyn was shocked as she shifted her gaze to Gilbert subconsciously.Kelvin's jaw dropped in surprise. Then, he glanced at Gilbert worriedly.However, Gilbert was still looking as emotionless as before, and none of them were expecting that from him.Gilbert stared in her direction.The sound of the door opening could be heard in the quiet room.Kisa walked inside slowly, drenched with rainwater.She was a skinny person, but with her thin clothes stuck to her skin because of the rain, she looked even more fragile and tiny.It seemed as if a gust of wind would blow her away.Her face was so pale, that it looked like a piece of paper. There was a wound on her forehead, and it was still bleeding.The blood streamed down from her forehead to both sides of her eyebrows, and to her cheeks. It made her look like she was crying blood out of her bloodshot eyes. It was a little terrifying to look at.Kelvin was shocked as he took a few steps forward."Kisa, why are you here? Your wou
