"Did you hear that, Norah? This is the first person I've gotten rid of for you." Colin gently stroked the ribbon; his expression was twisted. I could hardly believe Colin had become so consumed by madness.Similar news stories filled the TV from various channels—car accidents, fires, electrocutions, and falls into rivers. Each piece of news followed by the loss of one more life, all those who had once guarded me in the cave.I coldly followed Colin, watching as he carefully tidied himself, becoming as sharp and polished as ever, his charm intact.He stood outside Olivia's room and said, "Olivia, Norah and I are divorced now. Here's our divorce certificate."He placed two certificates right in front of Olivia. I saw Olivia's lips curl into a sneer, but then she quickly ran into Colin's arms, smiling sweetly, "That's amazing! Colin! Now we can be together forever!"Colin shoved her away with disgust, but spoke gently, "That's great, Olivia. I've decided we'll have a grand engageme
At the Riverview Villa, a grand engagement party was being held. Since I had moved into the villa, I had never seen such an extravagant event. Guests flooded in, and reporters with cameras did not even know which big shot to focus on. Meanwhile, Olivia stood at the center of the stage, dressed in a stunning gown, looking every bit like a princess.She said, "Thank you all for coming to our engagement party. Please enjoy our love story."My parents, along with Olivia's, immediately clapped their hands. They cheered, "Olivia, you're the most beautiful girl ever! We wish you the best for your marriage!"Olivia blushed and looked sweetly shy, while Colin stood beside her, looking indifferent. It was as if he was not the groom.Scenes began flashing on the big screen, and the guests immediately started whispering among themselves."My God! Is that really Olivia? She's so evil!""Not only did she secretly bully her classmates, but she was dating so many guys at once!""I can't belie
Colin shouted, "No way! How could I marry such a disgusting woman!" It finally hit Olivia that Colin was behind this, and she exclaimed, "It's you, Colin! You did this!""Yes, it's me! I wanted everyone to know your true colors!" Colin looked at her as though she were something filthy. He was filled with repulsion.He continued, "Your parents switched you at birth with Norah. You've enjoyed all the wealth and status from the Martinez family, and had the love of two parents. But that wasn't enough, was it? "You also had to bully Norah! Beneath that pretty face is a heart that is utterly vile—you bullied your classmates, slept around, and even slandered Joey, claiming the child wasn't mine. You bribed people to push her toward death! You're truly wicked!"Olivia yelled, "Shut up! Aren't you the one who really killed her?"Ethan and Hazel suddenly rushed onto the stage, grabbing Colin's hands. They asked desperately, "Did you say Norah is our child? Is that true?"Colin replied,
Colin drove back to the familiar, dark, gloomy warehouse—only this time, there was a hidden room. Colin dragged Olivia in, forcefully pushing her into the small, locked room."No, no! I'm afraid of the dark! Please let me out!" Olivia screamed, pounding on the door frantically.No one could hear her except for Colin, standing outside. He sneered, "Heh! You're afraid of the dark? Wasn't Norah afraid of it too?"He continued, "I just want you to experience what Norah went through. Can't handle it, huh? Then why did you let Norah go through it?"Olivia slammed against the door, her hands bruising, clearly terrified. "Enough! Enough! Let me out! I wasn't doing it on purpose! I was just going along with things!""Yes! You were just going along with things, and I'm the one who truly killed Norah! Don't worry, once I'm done with you, I'll make things right with Norah!" Colin laughed bitterly, his face twisting into a cruel grin.He added, "But Olivia, what you're experiencing is just th
Colin gripped the steering wheel with one hand and dialed a phone number with the other. As soon as the call connected, he asked, "Hello? Is everything ready? Where are they?" The person replied, "Everything's ready. They're at the villa on the west side of town.""Got it."After he hung up, I could see a fire burning in his eyes, though I had no idea who that fire was meant for. Soon enough, I found out. The villa in the west was my parents' house—no, my adoptive parents' house. It was laughable that I did not know the truth about why I was never really loved until Colin pulled out the paternity test. It turned out I was not their biological child at all. It was such a twisted joke. I still had no idea what Colin planned to do to them.Once we entered the villa, the first thing I saw was my adoptive parents tied up and struggling against their restraints. When they saw Colin enter, they desperately twisted their bodies, hoping he would notice them and release them.But of co
Without wasting any time, Colin shoved the rag back into their mouths and dragged them into the bedroom, like he was hauling dead dogs.In the bedroom, several barrels of gasoline were set up. I could not believe my eyes as I finally realized that he was going to burn them alive. My adoptive parents also realized the danger and struggled desperately, but it was useless. At that moment, I finally saw just how strong Colin was. He threw them on the floor, splashed gasoline around them, and, with terror in their eyes, he dropped a match by the door.With a loud boom, the fire erupted, roaring to life. As the flames raged behind him, Colin slowly stepped out of the villa, muttering, "These are the last two. Everyone who ever hurt you has paid for their sins, Norah. Do you see it?"He added, "Oh wait, there's one more. Don't worry, Norah, he'll be joining them soon."A chill ran down my spine when I heard those words. Afterward, Colin sped back to our home, Riverside Villa. In my bedr
I instinctively replied, "Yes, I'm done."A man in a white robe appeared behind me like a ghost and said, "Congratulations, Ms. Martinez. Because of your kind nature, your soul is pure. From now on, you can join the direct department of the underworld."Then, I realized that I was also a ghost. I excitedly circled around him and asked, "Are you White Enforcer? What about Black Enforcer? Where is he?""Who's Black Enforcer? I don't know anyone by that name.""The one dressed in black, your colleague," I pressed on, curious."Sorry, all my colleagues wear white. No one wears black. And you, Norah, will be wearing a white uniform too."He looked at me seriously and added, "My name is White Sentinel, not White Enforcer! Now, follow me.""But—""No buts."When I suddenly stopped in my tracks, he turned around and glanced at me. He asked, "What's wrong? Don't waste my time, Ms. Martinez.""Will all the people who died become your colleagues? I mean..."White Sentinel replied, "Oh,
"Well? She's been locked inside for days now. Has she admitted her mistake yet?" Colin Shaw's face was twisted in disgust as he glanced toward the cave and questioned the bodyguard."No, sir. Mrs. Shaw hasn't begged for mercy once," the bodyguard replied firmly. He was right—I had not begged for mercy, but I did call for help. "Mr. Shaw! Mrs. Shaw hasn't eaten or drunk anything in days. Could she have passed out? Maybe we should let her out?" Kyle Wilbur, our driver, suggested. Having watched Colin and me through our courtship and marriage, he always seemed to pity me.Colin's face darkened, his voice cold as ice. "Shut up! So what if she's gone a few days without food and water? "Olivia has been missing for so long, with no idea how long she's gone without either. Norah deserves to suffer just like Olivia did!"He added, "And Kyle, don't think your long years with the Shaw family give you immunity. Anyone who dares plead for that woman will be fired on the spot!"Kyle turn

"Hey... I've arranged everything. You'll be well compensated," Colin said coldly as he hung up the phone, his gaze fixed on the bare tree trunks outside the window.The people in the villa were still asleep, but Colin drove off alone. I did not know where he was going, but I followed him closely. Soon, he arrived at a dark, gloomy warehouse.A person was tied to a chair inside. I focused and realized it was my first bodyguard, the one who had run away when I'd died. He probably thought I smelled too bad.Colin picked up an iron rod and, without saying a word, smashed all ten of the bodyguard's fingers. The man screamed in pain, but his mouth was covered, so he could only sweat profusely.After smashing his fingers and toes, Colin took a rag out and slowly began his next actions. He shouted, "Tell me! Why didn't we hear Norah's cries for help?"The bodyguard gritted his teeth and refused to speak, but Colin threatened him, "A human body has 206 bones. How many do you think I can br
"Olivia came back from abroad, and Colin was so happy...""Olivia visited the Shaw family, and Colin actually skipped work to come back...""Olivia needed a driver, and Colin went. When Olivia drank too much, Colin went to pick her up...""Olivia said she didn't like kids, so Colin stopped holding Joey. Joey cried for his dad...""Colin...""I'm tired... I'm letting go..."From the excitement of young love to the coldness that followed, my diary had witnessed all my thoughts. Now, those thoughts were all laid out in front of Colin.I saw him holding his face, tears slipping through his fingers as he repeatedly whispered, "Norah, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong; I really was wrong."Nonetheless, Colin knew it was pointless to say all this as I was already long dead and could not listen to any of his apologies. He had not cherished me when I was alive, and now that I was gone, he finally realized his mistakes.It was too late for regret. I was already dead, and even if I could hea
