Stars In The Snow Chapter 18
‘Starling must have been scared, and she called me three times, just as we promised.‘If I had answered, she would have been so happy.‘No matter how much pain she was in and how terrifying the person threatening her was, she must have believed that I would save her.‘But I did not go.‘I even snapped at her. I said, “Stella, could you stop?! I told you that Catherine is in danger! If you won’t help her, stop annoying me!” ‘I abandoned her.’Honestly, when I was stabbed, it hurt a lot.But after Zach snapped at me, for some strange reason, I lost all sense of pain.Even when my head was cut off and my limbs were severed, I did not feel much pain.Right from the start to the end, I never shed a tear.But Zach cried, though he only came to realize it much later.“Why am I crying? It must be fake. Why would I be crying?”He eventually wiped away his tears when he got a call from the hospital.“Are you Stella Riverra’s family? I’m from the First Hospital. She’s scheduled for

A police officer rushed over to Zach.“Mr. Clark, we identified the person who picked Ms. Riverra from your house seven days ago. Do you know Gale Queen?”When Gale was arrested, he appeared exceptionally calm.“Yes. I did it. I lied to her to get her out and had someone kill her.“It’s nothing, really. I just found Zach an eyesore, that’s all.”Gale smiled. When he looked at Zach, it was as if he still treated him as a friend.“Where is she?”“What are you saying, Zach?”“I’m asking you: where is she?”Gale was still smiling. “Didn’t I tell you? She has always been beside you. Zach, you’re smart. You should know that there aren’t that many coincidences in the world, right? Why would the black market have a female corpse all of a sudden? It even had a kidney that was a match for Catherine! That woman had also donated her kidney once and only had one left. Coincidentally, she was also pregnant.”“You… You b*stard! Even though she’s harmless and your sister in everything but bl

Bam!When Zach got home, he destroyed that huge, heavy statue.After it crumbled to pieces, a head that was preserved perfectly via chemicals showed up.She looked calm, and her eyes were wide open, as if she could not feel any pain.It was as if she was asleep, just with her eyes open.Zach acted as if he discovered treasure. He pushed away the hair over her face and nuzzled against her cheek.“Don’t worry, Starling. I’ll always protect you.”

Since my head was discovered, I found that I started growing weaker.I knew then that this must mean that my attachment to the world was about to fade away.I was about to disappear.Gale was sentenced to death.Even though he said that he killed me because he found Zach an eyesore, we all knew that he did it for Catherine.He was the adopted son of the Queen family and had always taken care of his sister.He would do whatever it took to keep Catherine alive, regardless of the cost.He would even kill his sister in all but blood.From that day onward, Zach stopped going to work.He stayed home with my head in his arms.Just like before, he cleaned up the house and cooked my favorite food.He would then remove the fat on the meat and eat the food I could never again finish.He even bought a wedding gown for me.But I only had a head left, so I could only wear the veil.He told me that I was the prettiest girl he ever met.He even told me that he rejected my proposal becau

The final time I met Zach was by the pool of sulphuric acid.He held my head and carefully covered it with a beautiful white veil.Bound beside him were Catherine and Gale.“Zach, if you want to take revenge, come at me! This has nothing to do with Catherine!”“So, you can actually feel fear, Gale?”Zach put me on a table and wiped away nonexistent dust on my face.He then kissed my rotten head and said with a smile, “Be good, Starling. Once I deal with your bullies, we’ll go home together.”‘Don’t!’ I screamed. ‘Zach, have you lost your mind?! This is a crime!’“Zach, are you crazy?! Not only did you break me out of prison, but you also kidnapped my sister! The police will know about this soon enough! You can’t ruin your future!”“Future? What other future do I have?” Zach smiled. “Do you know why I became a doctor? Because Starling nearly died from a fever when she was twelve. I carried her on my back while begging for money door to door, but no one helped me. From that mome

‘I don’t want it, Zach.’ I thought. ‘Since we were children, I always wanted you to live freely and happily. I never wanted to be a burden that stopped you from running to your future.‘I don’t want you to ruin it and turn into such a scary person because of me.’“Stella, you’ve never been my burden. You’re my one and only family in the world.“I was useless and didn’t protect you well, but don’t worry. I’ll go over and be with you very soon.“I told you before: I’ll stay beside you and protect you forever.”When he cut his flesh open with the surgical knife, I screamed. I wanted to go over and stop him, but I could not touch anything.I could only watch as Zach cut his torso open.The pain made him unable to continue. He hissed.“So, it hurts this much?”But he only smiled and injected anesthesia in himself. Then, he continued cutting open his torso.He was covered in blood and looked like a demon.I had no idea how long he kept this up.The pain made his survival instin

When my body was placed on the simple operating table, it was still warm.Not that anyone cared, of course.With a surgical knife in hand, Zach Clark slowly but meticulously cut open my chest, and then, he was puzzled.“Huh? Why is there only one kidney?”But he soon resumed what he was doing. His movements were sure and smooth. As expected of the top nephrologist in the city.Some moments later, he removed a bloody kidney from my body and placed it on a uniquely-shaped instrument.“Send it to the hospital and have the staff perform the kidney transplant for Catherine immediately.”Gale Queen, Zach’s best friend, stared at the torso on the operating table and asked, “What about the woman’s body? Even though she only had a torso left when we bought her, it still feels weird to keep her around. Should we call the police?”Zach just washed off the blood on his hands and did not even spare the torso a look. He said in his usual nonchalant tone, “Just destroy it. We don’t want any a
Stars In The Snow Chapter 2
But Zach and Gale found something surprising when they were on their way to destroy my torso.I was pregnant.Zach even saw the burns he had adored on my stomach.Throughout the years, Zach always turned off the lights when he slept with me. It was probably because he did not want to see my disgusting face.But he should have been familiar with my body.Those burns were all marks left behind courtesy of my father, who burned me with cigarettes.Zach loved kissing those marks and said that they were like blossoming flowers. They were marks God gave me.But when he saw those familiar marks, he was only taken aback for a second before he threw me into a pool of sulphuric acid without even blinking.How strange. I knew that I was dead, but when my torso touched the sulphuric acid, I still felt excruciating pain.And when I saw Zach’s cool, unfeeling gaze, I could not help but think, ‘Zach, do you know this torso is mine? Or have you always wanted to do this?’“Whose family does s
