Chapter 21

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.

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
