"How is it possible? The mayor never mentioned you going up the mountain." Amanda was bewildered.I lowered my face and said, "That's what I wonder. He was the one who suggested it to me, but why when I went missing, he didn't tell anyone about it.""Perhaps he was the one who harmed you. He lures you up the mountain to attack you and wants to kill you." Amanda opened her eyes wide, covering her mouth with her hand, her face full of horror as if she had just discovered a shocking secret.I stayed silent, not knowing how to respond. In the immediate future, the mayor is the most suspicious person because only he knows I went up the mountain, and he purposely kept it a secret. Still, I don't believe he was the one who beat me up in the mountain because he's grown up anyway age, so his strength can't be so muscular that I can't fight back.I told Amanda, "Even though I couldn't see the killer's face, I don't think he was the mayor because he had powerful, muscular arms. Maybe the mayor k
Darian said, "I want to give you a chance to confess the truth. If you're the one who put poison in the well water, admit it. I will help you cover this up. As for you being pushed down the cliff, I will find the mastermind to defeat him."I opened my eyes wide, unable to believe what I just heard. Is he suspicious of me? No, he did not doubt. He asserted that I was the one who poisoned the people's healthy water.My heart throbbed a little. I can accept anyone who doubts or harms me because those people are people I don't care about, but I don't want Darian to doubt me. The frustration in my heart increased a little more. The pain mixed in with my every breath, making me feel like I couldn't breathe.It took a while for me to calm down. I tried so hard not to get so frustrated that I cried, but my throat seemed to choke, making my voice choke, "You don't believe me!"I remember Amanda telling me today that the investigation team had not found any new leads. The accusations against me
I suppressed the uneasiness in my heart, saying, "Did you get any more information from Alex? Has there been any new information about the poisonous well water?"Logan said cautiously, "Alex testified that he and Daisy were both hired by Luna Layla to harm Sharmaine. Daisy is the one who poisons the people's well water. The one who spread rumors to the people to rebel was Alex. The investigation team tortured Daisy to ask her where the potion was. She buried the potion under a tree in the village. The investigation team found that evidence. Currently, the people on the investigation team need you to come up with a solution. They don't dare to arbitrarily announce the results because the mastermind in this is Luna Layla."I clenched my fist. The anger in my heart could not be contained, so I slammed my hand on the table hard.Logan did not dare to breathe when he saw me in such an angry state. He is silent, trying to reduce his existence as much as possible.After a while, I was able t
Sharmaine's POVAfter three weeks in the hospital, my body recovered very well thanks to the dedicated care of doctors, nurses, and Maya. A few days ago, I received news that the investigation in the town had been completed. Alex and Daisy were the ones who put poison in people's well water. They confessed it and were taken to the Pack center to receive the punishment.It was widely covered by the media, and within a few days, it was the subject of everyone's talk. Everyone criticizes and scolds Alex and Daisy for being evil. Only I know that Alex and Daisy are taking the blame for someone else.Although I was restored to my innocence, the mastermind of my harm was not brought to light, so I did not feel happy at all. More than that, I'm disappointed that I didn't get an apology from Darian. He's been gone since the day we argued, and he hasn't come back to apologize for misunderstanding me."Lady, let's go. The car is waiting for us at the hospital gate." Maya said and hurriedly pull
The party was held at Moon Castle as usual. Today's main character is none other than Luna Laylay. She wore a very magnificent and beautiful dress, attracting everyone's eyes.The party was very crowded, almost everyone who attended my wedding party was present at this party. That's right, no one dares to miss Luna's birthday party.Like in previous parties, I walked beside Darian during the party. Even so, I feel that I have no existence in the eyes of others. Everyone just greeted me out of politeness, and after that, no one cared about me anymore. I'm used to it, so I don't want to try to prove my existence. Even I feel good when no one bothers me. I'm too lazy to pretend to smile and have fun talking to people.After a while, I met Amanda. She looks very pretty today. Darian saw that Amanda was close to me and suggested that I speak to Amanda. He understands that I am not happy to follow him.I separated from Darian and went with Amanda to the food court. We eat cakes together and
The harsh sunlight hit my eyes. I was upset, so I woke up in a hazy state. My body was so tired as if it had been run over by a car, that I didn't want to move. I wanted to turn around because I was avoiding the sunlight, but someone's arm wrapped around my waist so that I couldn't move.I suddenly opened my eyes wide because I felt someone's naked body behind me. I jumped, wanting to get up, but the arm around my waist stopped me.Crazy memories flashed through my mind. I realized that the person who was hugging me was Darian. Last night, he and I made love. My face grew hot as I recalled the details of last night.Darian is like a wild animal; he's fierce, crazy, and passionate. Different from his usual cold appearance. I don't remember how many times he tortured me; I fainted when my body couldn't take it anymore.It took a while for me to calm down, but my tears unconsciously streamed down my face because I thought Darian didn't love me. He made love to me just for his routine phy
When I reached the first-floor corridor, I heard Erza's voice calling from behind.“Darian, Darian! Wait for me!”I turned around to see her hurrying towards me.As she approached, I raised my arm to signal her to stop, not to take another step closer to me.She was stunned to see my action but still obediently stood back. She asked, "Darian, where did you go last night? Me and Luna have been looking for you everywhere, afraid of what will happen to you. Are you okay?"I sneered, retorting, "What can happen to me?"Erza said, "At that time, you…" She stopped because she didn't feel right to say something. She thought momentarily and then changed how she spoke, "You were in a drunken state at the time. When you suddenly left, did you know how worried I was for you? Where did you go last night, and what did you do? Were you…"Right now, Erza was like a wife questioning her husband why he was spending the night outside. She skillfully hides her anger, expressing herself as gentle, weak,
I met two soldiers patrolling the cliff. If they hadn't introduced themselves that they were patrols, I wouldn't have recognized them because they were so ordinary. They wore simple casual clothes, walked, and chatted like two friends. I mistakenly thought that they were just ordinary people walking around.When they caught me, they didn't radiate majesty or anger. They just greeted me with simple questions, "Hello. I don't see you as people here. Who are you? Why are you here?""Hello. I'm Sharmaine! I'm new here from elsewhere. I want to find my mother; she lives here." I politely replied.Then, through their few simple introductions, I learned their names were Enoch and Bevis. They are patrol soldiers on patrol duty on this cliff.They offered to help me find my mother, but first, I needed to go to the nearest police station to declare my identity. They say that every tourist here must declare their identity, or they will be charged with breaking in and being evicted Pack.I once h
