He reached out, gripping my chin and forcing me to lift my head.
I panicked and raised my hand to cover the suggestive kiss marks on my neck.
I stepped back, trying to create distance, but he grabbed my wrist, his grip so tight it felt like he might crush my bones.
“It’s none of your business!”
I shook off his hand, my tone icy.
Blake’s face darkened to an extreme, his whole body radiating danger.
A strong sense of unease rose in my heart. Not wanting to engage with him any further, I turned and fled back to my bedroom.
From the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a figure flashing behind the curtain on the second floor.
Olivia was hiding behind the window, staring at me, her eyes filled with malice and distortion.
The next afternoon, I dressed up carefully and went out to watch a movie with Ethan.
Walking through the yard in my high heels, I saw that red sports car.
Olivia was s
sitting in the driver’s seat, taking selfies with her phone.
After the movie, I returned home. Just as I walked into the living room, a voice rang out.
“Aria James! You vicious woman! Olivia almost died because of your perfume! Are you satisfied now?!”
Blake rushed up to me, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me violently.
I felt dizzy from his shaking. Frowning, I asked in confusion,
“What perfume? What are you talking about?”
“Still playing dumb?“”
Blake roared, shoving me onto the couch.
Then his body pressed down, pinning me to the sofa.
At that moment, my phone rang, the screen flashing “Boyfriend“.
Blake’s eyes flashed with jealousy and anger. He snatched my phone and smashed it to the ground!
“You think you can fool me by finding some random guy? Aria James, you’ve become more and
despicable!”

“Aria, I gave you chances, warned you not to provoke Olivia, but you keep pushing my limits! Since that’s the case,) consequences
Blake grabbed me and dragged me to the back garden. The night wind made me shiver,
Olivia sat in a wheelchair, her face pale
and oyes
swollen
Seeing me being dragged over, she began to cry,
*Blake, I’m so scared… I really don’t dare to stay here anymore. Aria hates me so much she wants me dead!”
“Aria also said that if she can’t marry you, she won’t let me marry you either. She must be trying to kill

“Wah… Blake, I’m really scared. I can’t compete with her. I give up… I’ll give you up, okay? I’ll move out as soon as I’m discharged…”
Olivia cried as if her heart was breaking.
Blake’s face darkened. He ordered the bodyguards behind him,
r up!”
“Tie her
Two bodyguards came forward and bound my hands with rope.
I widened my eyes, shouting and struggling.
“Blake Sullivan! What are you doing?! Let me go! Let me go!”
“Olivia almost died of suffocation because of you. I’ll let you experience what it feels like to suffocate!”
Blake’s voice was ice cold.
Fear overwhelmed me. The terror of suffocation enveloped me.
I knew too well the feeling of suffocation
“Aria James, I ask you one last time, was it you?! Did you secretly spray perfume on Olivia’s pajamas?! Tell me!!”
Blake demanded.
“It wasn’t me! I didn’t do it! Blake, I have no reason to harm Olivia! I don’t love you anymore! Why won’t you believe me?!”
I screamed, tears streaming down my face.
“Lies! You’re still lying even at death’s door! This perfume was your mother’s 18th birthday gift to you! I recognize it!”
“A vicious woman like you deserves to be punished!!”
I was dragged towards the fish pond by two bodyguards, my wrists aching.
The air was filled with the smell of fish and rotten weeds.
“A vicious woman like you should be sunk in this stinking pond to feed the fish! Better than being an eyesore alive!”
“Blake Sullivan, you madman! Let me go!”
“The om het in! Don’t let her die quickly. I want her to suffer, unable to live or die. Let her experience the pain she inflicted on Olivia a thousand

The bodyguards grinned maliciously, like machines following orders, unhesitatingly dragging me to the edge of the pond.
“Splash!
The pond water went over my head. Cold and dirty water rushed into my nose and mouth, my lungs burning with pain.
I struggled desperately like a madwoman, my nails scratching at the bodyguards‘ rough clothes, screaming hoarsely.
But it was all in vain.
“Splash!”
The cold, stinking pond water instantly submerged my head.
The biting cold and choking dirty water frantically rushed into my nose and mouth. My lungs burned with pain, the breath of death close at
hand.
Just when I thought I was really going to drown in this filthy fish pond, I was suddenly yanked out of the water.
Fresh air greedily rushed into my
lungs, but before I could catch my breath, I was brutally pushed back into the water again.
Over and over, I was like a broken doll, abused at their will.
My consciousness gradually blurred.
