Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 71
"Shut up!"The mere mention of the police left Henry's expression darkening as he glared at Tina. "You really are fearless."At that point, Tina understood.Henry believed Linda, thinking that Tina insisted on going to the cops not because she was innocent, but because she had Madam Barnes' backing.It was fine as Madam Barnes loved Tina and despised Linda, and she would use the family influence to bail Tina out unscathed—just like how Henry brainlessly protected Linda.If that happened, he could not get payback for his beloved woman and daughter.Tina thought that her heart was impervious, but at that moment, her heart still stung terribly.She bit her lip and whipped out her phone—even if he did not want to call the cops, she could do it herself!However, she had just pressed the numbers when a hand snatched it out of her grasp before she could dial."Give it back!" Tina snapped, reaching out to grab it.However, Henry turned it off and threw it on the couch.Missing her m

"Hah!"Henry snorted, ignoring her resistance, and pried her hands off again.Tina held on to the door in turn, her nails digging in.But it was pointless even as she used all her strength as Henry pried off each finger and shut the door mercilessly in her face.Darkness engulfed her in an instant, and Tina pried the handle to find that it was locked from the outside.The terror she buried in the depths of her heart swelled, while all color drained from her cheeks.Smacking the door in agitation, she cried, "Open the door! Let me out! You have no right to lock me up without evidence!"There was only silence."Henry Barnes! Can't you hear me?! Let me out! You have no right to lock me up!"Still, silence.Tina trembled all over, but she fought to stay calm as she fumbled through the darkness to look around for a switch.She felt around in the darkness and finally found it, feeling hope once more as she flipped it.Click.The darkness remained—the wiring had been cut.Tina's

And now, Henry pushed Tina into the same hell with his own hands, just to punish her for Linda and Rory, torturing Tina with her worst fears.Her throat felt like it was seized by a formless hand that clenched harder by the second, so much so that she could not breathe.She was on her knees as she tried her best to loosen her collar, her lips opened feebly as she gasped for air.But she was still suffocating, as her nerves were at their limit.Struck by terror, even her voice was a lot softer now as she gave in, allowing herself to be vulnerable in Henry's presence. "Let me out… Henry… Open the door…"She called his name repeatedly as she hit the door, her voice trembling and almost unintelligible.He knew she was terrified but did not care.The darkness magnified her senses, and she could hear the faintest sounds outside as she pressed herself against the door.She could hear the footsteps and knew Henry was right outside.She could even imagine his haughty glare, poising him

Tina broke.Her tears welling out of her eyes, she crawled back to the door, hitting it limply with her bleeding fingers.Even as she left palm prints of blood, she no longer felt pain as she cried and pleaded to the man outside, "Please let me out, I'm begging you…"'Don't be so cruel!'Her words were filled with endless bitterness.However, it was Linda who stood outside, folding her arms before her chest.She kept silent, allowing Tina to presume that she was Henry, grinning as she listened to Tina beg in her despair.Even if she could not see inside, Tina's voice was enough to tell her how terrible a state Tina was in, and it was so much more pleasant than having Tina arrested.With Madam Barnes back and how protective she was of Tina, Tina would have been bailed out even before Linda's accomplices could do a thing.Locking Tina here was the worst torture possible instead!That was for trying to steal Henry from her! Tina could take her time and enjoy her stay!Still, Li

The room heating system was turned on, and the warmth was just right, but Rory cringed when her clothes were taken off.Still sleeping, she snuggled up to Linda in her arms. Even if Linda was not the best of mothers, she was her only mother, and Rory was dependent on her down to her core.But Linda was not relenting from the intimacy as she turned off the room heating system.Then, she carried Rory into the bathroom and turned on the cold water, causing the temperature to drop right away.Linda watched as the tub filled and touched the surface, immediately feeling a painful chill.Feeling the cold, Rory's teeth chattered as she pressed herself deeper into Linda's arms. "Hug me, Mommy… I'm so cold…"Linda's heart almost caved, but remembering that Tina was in the basement, she did not hesitate to shove Rory into the tub.The icy water quickly flooded over Rory's scrawny body, and Rory shuddered even as she slept but could not wake up because of her medication.Her teeth kept cha

At Barnes Ranch the next day, Madam Barnes was telling Sam, "Send word to the kitchen—tell them to cook some of Tina's favorite food for dinner.""Yes, ma'am." Sam bowed his head and left.Madam Barnes then took out her phone, texting Tina instead of calling since Tina would be at work.[I had the kitchen make your favorites for dinner. Do drop by after work.]She did not wait for a reply since Tina might be busy and went upstairs from a nap.However, Tina never replied even when Madam Barnes woke up, and it was past 4 pm. Madam Barnes then finally called."Sorry, the device you are calling has been turned off."Madam Barnes frowned—there was no way Tina would turn off her phone while at work.Scowling, she called Henry, but no one answered either.As such, she called Andy instead. "Where's Henry?""He's in a meeting, ma'am," Andy answered calmly.He knew that Madam Barnes despised Linda and would throw a fit if she found out that Henry had been staying with Linda and Rory s

Tina's cheeks were as white as a sheet as she lay on a hospital bed, while Madam Barnes asked a doctor worriedly, "How is she?""She fainted from arrhythmia but made it in time. If she were brought in even a second later, she would've died from shock."The diagnosis left Madam Barnes shaking with rage.Her chest heaving as she thumped her cane on the floor, she snarled through her teeth, "That vile spawn!"Henry knew Tina was terrified of basements, but he had locked her up in there for so long!Was he trying to kill her?!Sam hurried to Madam Barnes worriedly. "Please, Ma'am. Your health…"However, his advice fell on deaf ears until a cool hand reached Madam Barnes' wrinkled hand, calling out hoarsely, "Grandma…"Madam Barnes flinched as she promptly grasped Tina's hand in return, rubbing it in her palms to warm it while asking in concern, "Yes, Tina—I'm right here. Are you feeling alright?"Tears welled up in Tina's eyes right then. "I'm alright. I'm just hungry."Madam Bar

Then, the burly man kicked Linda, sending her tumbling into the car.Her head struck the car seat hard, and she was still in a daze when she felt her hair being grabbed."Argh!"She screamed shrilly as she was pulled inside and forced to look up to a pair of cool eyes.It was Tina—she had come to make Linda pay!Still, Linda's panic faded as soon as she saw that it was Tina, and she sat up fearlessly, even raising her brow at the woman who was left haggard and pale after a night of torture.Talk about dumb luck, coming out unscathed!And it went without saying that Madam Barnes must have freed Tina!Despite her frustration, Linda still noticed Tina's bandaged fingers and felt endless glee as she begged endlessly last night.However, she did not let her feelings show, fearlessly asking as if a damsel in distress, "Why are you doing, Tina? Let me go!"You know how much Henry loves me. If he finds out that you didn't learn your lesson and hurt me again, he would get upset… and w

As soon as Henry heard that Tina was hurt and hospitalized, he got into his car and rushed to the hospital, only to see John touching her upon arrival.However, John had already been furious with Henry when he found Tina in her tragic state.If he had not dumped her at that isolated place, she would not have suffered so much.Hence, John stood up.Henry presumed that he was backing down and released his grip, only for John to suddenly get up and punch him in the face viciously.It came so quickly it caught Henry off guard, and it struck him true.While John was a gentleman, and this was the first time that he had ever punched anyone, he did it so viciously.Henry stumbled backward once before catching his balance and felt blood in his mouth.Still, his face contorted savagely, but as he was about to return the punch, Tina suddenly got out of bed.She knew him too well and scrambled out of bed to stand in front of John.Henry's eyes widened and promptly stopped, his fist just

"Tina!" John cried, grimacing in heartache as he dropped to one knee, wrapping his coat around her before carefully picking her up.However, she was hurting everywhere after the robber kicked her repeatedly.She gasped in pain without knowing as John touched her and could not see where she was hurt under her clothes.She was not loud, but the pain in his eyes showed even more.He gathered her in his arms even more carefully this time, while Ian drove over in his black Maybach.Ian opened the door, and John put Tina in the backseat, barking, "Get us to the hospital!"At his order, Ian floored the gas pedal and sped off.-Much later, John was sitting by a hospital bed, his eyes fixed on Tina, who lay frailly on it.The doctor told him that Tina was bruised all over, clearly having been kicked repeatedly.John's heart clenched at the thought, his pain welling out.That was when Tina woke up and found herself staring at John's dark gaze right away.She was awake but also felt

The robber started fantasizing—once he got rich, he would kick his wife and the three money sinks to the curb and get himself a young pretty face to carry his genes.With that thought, he cheerfully returned to his bike and sped off, not caring about what happened to Tina.She lay on the ground, watching as the last thing she kept of Sophie disappeared from her sight, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Sophie…"In time, her body slowly turned stiff from the cold as she lay on the icy ground.Her tears would dry up quickly, but more would flow soon after.There was no telling how long had passed before she completely passed out.-After getting Henry's call, Andy promptly drove to where Tina was, but she was not there when he arrived.He alighted and yelled, "Ms. Smith!"There was no response, so he returned to his car and called Henry, but the call was cut off right away.After all, Henry had called him to pick Tina up while he sent his people to save Linda. At this time, he m

Furious, the robber lunged at Tina viciously. "You bitch! You asked for this!"Tina was flat on her back and did not have the strength to fight back as the robber charged at her again.She could only curl up to hold onto the necklace containing Sophie's bone."Give it up!" However, the robber was a blue collar worker and very strong.His hands were like pliers that grabbed firmly on her arm as he attempted to unfold her.He did not expect Tina to hold on so tightly that his temple veins were bulging, and he could not even pull her arm off."Fuck! Don't think I can't make you budge!" he swore as he sprang to his feet again. Unable to pull her off, he kicked her repeatedly.He did not hold back, just like how he never held back on beating his wife whenever he got too drunk.In fact, he was furious this time and kicked Tina even harder.However, Tina only curled into herself even tighter amid the pain.Even as she started blacking out, she held onto the necklace containing

Tina was the one who had taken care of Sophie from birth.Since jewelry was cumbersome when taking care of children, she was used to not wearing it even after Sophie's death.At most, she wore a watch to work—hers was not all that valuable, but she took it off even though it was hidden under her sleeve.Having given the robber everything, and seeing that he was still measuring her from head to toe, she said earnestly, "I really have nothing else."She had been very compliant, and the robber believed her and started stuffing everything into the handbag.However, just as he was about to get on his bike, he spotted the necklace around Tina's neck.His face dropping, he hung the handbag on the bike while snarling as he returned to Tina, grabbing her shoulder, "You bitch! You lied to me!"He was a big man and could crush her collarbone right then.Even as Tina shuddered in pain, she did not know what had gotten the robber upset, fighting back her panic as she said, "I've really give

It was a voice that would invoke any man's chivalry."I won't leave!" Henry promised Linda again.Relieved, Linda calmly closed her eyes, her breathing turning rhythmic.Thinking that she was asleep, Henry pulled his hand away…"Henry!"Linda promptly jolted awake, her eyes wide open.However, seeing that Henry was just moving to sit by the bed, she calmly closed her eyes again, this time holding firmly on his shirt to keep him.Nothing would change, even if Henry found out that Tina was not the one who had drugged him five years ago!In his mind, Linda would always be his savior, the woman he loved the most!He would love her like nothing ever happened no matter what she had gone through, and Tina had no right to compete with her!-Meanwhile, Tina continued walking along the eerily silent road after Henry had left her there.She would be lying if she said she was not scared, but she fought her fear and hurried along.It would take several hours to reach the city, but tha

It was a line that reminded Henry of that moment five years ago, and he nodded. "Yeah. I told you I'd never let you get hurt again, Linda."The single line offered Linda assurance, and she threw herself into Henry's arms."Henry…" She sobbed endlessly, at once hysterical and miserable. "You came for me!"Pained, Henry pursed his lips and scooped her up in his arms. "It's alright. I'm taking you home right now.""Yeah," Linda murmured, hugging his neck and pressing her cheek against his chest, shuddering endlessly.She seemed horrified, refusing to leave his embrace.And that was how Henry carried her to his car, quietly telling the chauffeur to head to Rose Garden.It was almost ten when they arrived.As Henry carried Linda inside as well, the maid heard them and came out.Bowing respectfully at the two when she saw them, she said, "Mr. Barnes, Ms. Cook. Rory's asleep.""Good," Henry replied quietly and leaned down to tell Linda tenderly, "We're home, Linda."Linda did not s

Seeing that Henry was stopping to listen, the man's eyes lit up with hope, and he quickly said, "It's the truth, Mr. Barnes—I'm not lying! She really came on to us!"That woman's acting was just too good.If they had not personally been there, even they would have doubted that the same person who came on to them was also the same person who had accused them!"It's the truth, Mr. Barnes!" the other man promptly echoed, his tone earnest as he tried to convince Henry.Regret was twisting their insides to a bunch too, as they did not have evidence—if they did, they would have shown it!They had been feeling gleeful earlier that they were doing it in a place without cameras.And now, they could not even defend themselves!Henry looked at them then.He could see that they were just stopping short of swearing it was the truth, and there was no hint of guilt in their eyes as they looked at him in turn."No!!! Get away from me!!! Please don't touch me!!! Henry!!! Henry!!!"But even as

Henry's eyes were on Tina even as he held his cigarette and answered the phone.Tina ignored him as he had clearly mentioned Linda's name to screw with her, but just as she got up, Henry's face dropped.He dropped his cigarette on her too, and she flinched in pain, losing her balance and falling again.However, Henry was busy assuring Linda endlessly as she screamed in terror on the other end. "Calm down! I'm coming right now—I'll save you! It's alright!"He did not hang up as he continued offering words of comfort, completely ignoring Tina as if she was never there.As soon as he returned to his car, he floored the gas pedal, disappearing into the night."Henry Barnes!" Tina yelled just as she got up, but her voice was drowned out by the roaring engine, and she was left standing as she watched Henry's car disappear from sight.A cold breeze blew just then, and the rustle of leaves echoed on both sides of the road.As Tina shuddered, she picked up her bag from the ground and to
