At the Crescent Lake...Not long ago, Sotiria had nearly drowned in this lake because of Virginia’s scheme. She also knew that Virginia had drowned her mother, Carissa.Sotiria wanted to avenge her mother and herself by this lake today!There was a bridge that deviated from the road at the southwest corner of Crescent Lake. There were guardrails on the side of the bridge to prevent people from falling into the water. Because this section of the road was relatively remote, usually almost no one passed by that spot when night fell.This was exactly why Virginia had the guts to kill Carissa here.Sotiria drove directly to the bridge, locked Virginia in the car by herself, and got out of the car with the toolbox that she had prepared in advance.After a few minutes of work, Sotiria tied two ropes on the side rail of the bridge. She then opened the car door and pointed her gun at Virginia. “You, get out here!”Although Virginia felt that things were about to go south from now onwards
“On the day of your wedding, the person who arranged for someone to spike your drink, who hired two men to wait for you in the restroom, and broadcast the video of Mr. Connor helping you with the detoxification on the big screen at the wedding... It was all me!“ Virginia, who was about to wet herself, confessed everything.Sotiria smiled with great satisfaction. “Anything else?”“And... Yes! And! I threw you into this lake with a car the other day, wanting to drown you. I was also the one who killed Carissa Fellowes, deprived you of your chastity, and led you into degeneracy eight years ago!“Tiria, you wanted me to confess all of these, so I’ve confessed. So please don’t shoot me, I don’t want to die, I beg you— Mmm! Mmmm!”Virginia could no longer beg for mercy as Sotiria had sealed her mouth firmly with tape.Virginia kept whimpering from behind her.However, Sotiria never looked at her again. She left her alone, being tied to the bridge, and got into the car without looking b
‘This...’Sotiria lowered his head in frustration.‘Okay! I admit this! I’m not legally illiterate. I also know that I was going against the law when I chose to force a confession out of Virginia, but I don’t regret it.‘Virginia is so cunning that she did everything seamlessly. Even the police couldn’t find any evidence to expose her through proper channels. So in order for me to deal with Virginia, I must fight fire with fire.‘I have absolutely no complaints if I am sentenced to imprisonment. I’ll even put this blame onto Virginia and continue to seek revenge against her after I’m released from prison.‘However, I won’t be as stupid as this time when the time comes again. I won’t allow the police to intervene again. Instead, after I get my hands on another recording of Virginia’s confession, I’ll post it directly onto the Internet and clear my name through the process...‘After that, I’ll personally send Virginia to hell without leaving a trace of evidence behind. Just like wh
Sotiria, who was very grateful to Garrison, walked to the side of the car, opened the car door, and plunged into the man’s arms, “Thanks, hubby!”“Hubby?” An indifferent tone escaped the man’s thin lips and pearl-white teeth. “Even if you want to take me in as your underground husband, shouldn’t you avoid PDA in front of the public?”Upon hearing this voice, a hum echoed in Sotiria’s mind. “Zachary!?”“Although I don’t mind you calling me by my name, I think the term ’husband’ sounds more cordial.” Zachary, who looked as regal as a king, gave off a hint of banter in the perfectly curved corners of his lips.A huge void appeared in Sotiria’s skull, and her mind turned blank for a split second.In the next second, the clear voice sounded in her ears again. “You can continue to embrace me like this... If you feel that this isn’t close enough for you, you can kiss me too.” Sotiria finally realized that she was still hugging Zachary at this moment. She hurriedly let go of him and sc
Faking her calmness, Sotiria turned around and walked toward the front door of the police station with a deliberate, steady pace. “From the “Book Of Love” that I read, it says that the more men a woman has experienced, the harder she is to tolerate loneliness.” Zachary’s voice wafted into her ears from her back.Sotiria felt as if she had fallen into an ice cavern and all her blood turned cold.“Are you making fun of me, Mr. Connor?”“I’m just stating a fact. We’re not living in a feudal society anymore, and both men and women have physiological drive. It’s the nature of humans, and there’s nothing to be ashamed of to admit it,” replied Zachary. He was standing as straight as a ramrod, and his deep brown eyes were bereft of any emotion.Sotiria’s lips quivered non-stop as her cheeks flared with color.“Even if you’re not making fun of me, I don’t think this is a topic that a man and a woman should talk about. Mr. Connor, maybe I was a loose woman in the past, but I’m no longer t
Garrison was known for his courteousness and gentlemanship. However, his eyes were ice-cold and bloodshot right now.“The doctor said I can’t consummate with Tiria because of a chemical substance, and this substance is normally used in prisons for chemically castrating repeat rapists. Although I haven’t found out how I got poisoned, I know it must be your doing, Zachary!”On the other hand, Zachary’s eyes were cold, but he did not say anything. He did not admit it, nor did he deny the accusation.Sotiria looked at Zachary, unable to close her mouth.Zachary!Was he really the one who had made it impossible for Garrison and her to consummate? Garrison’s body was trembling, and his eyes were rounded wide in anger. “Zachary, you are so wicked! How dare you do such a shameless thing to obstruct Tiria and me? Aren’t you afraid that I will spread the news and make you the laughingstock of the whole city?”“Hoh?”Zachary stuck his arm out of the window. His face was bereft of emotion
“Are you alright, Garrison? The corner of your lips is bleeding. Does it hurt?” Sotiria, who was squatting beside Garrison, hastily took a band-aid out of her handbag and carefully pasted it on the corner of Garrison’s mouth. Garrison’s rage dissipated in an instant the moment he was facing Sotiria. His gaze turned gentle as he said, “I’m fine, Tiria. Don’t worry.”“Okay, can you move? Come, let me help you get up.”“Okay.”On the other hand, Zachary was looking fixedly at Sotiria, his expression cold and unfeeling. The way she looked at Garrison when she helped him to his feet was filled with so much affection and gentleness that Zachary felt as if someone had plunged a blade into his stone-cold heart, and a crack appeared on his expressionless face. After Sotiria helped Garrison to his feet, she did not look at Zachary anymore and just went straight toward Garrison’s car with Garrison.“Stop it right there!” Zachary shouted, his voice trembling slightly.Garrison let out a c
“Tiria, you can’t go with him!” Garrison grabbed Sotiria’s hand tightly, his voice thick with anxiety.Sotiria gave him an assuring smile and said, “Garrison, I don’t want to owe him anything. After paying back the three favors, I will cut ties with him and never see him again. As such, you have to let me go.”“No! I don’t trust him. He said he wants you to watch a movie with him, but what if he does the same thing again like what he did at our wedding the other day? What if he takes the chance to take you hostage and force you to divorce me? Tiria, I can’t watch you dive into his trap without doing anything!”The more Garrison said, the more worried he became. His right hand tightened to the point that his fingers had sunk deep into Sotiria’s flesh. Sotiria, however, did not scream out in pain. Instead, she patted the back of Garrison’s hand and comforted him, “Don’t worry, Garrison. I’ll be honest with you, the person I had lunch with today was Zachary. He asked me to buy him a
