When I saw the bodies of Shen Jianxi and Jin Ke, it felt like the sky had collapsed.
The first time I met her was at DA, her dashing and cool attire and her incredible marksmanship left an unforgettable impression on me.
After that day, I dreamt of her many times. I initially thought it was just a fleeting interest, but when Ye Chuanxi and his friends announced they were dating her, I felt a pang of sadness in my heart.
The next time I saw her, she was in a fight. I had no intention of interfering, but when I saw her being ambushed, I involuntarily cried out.
This time, I brought her back to my home. It was just the two of us, and the feelings in my heart grew even stronger.
I know I'm not a good person. The gentleness everyone praises is just a facade. Every time I showed my emotions as a child, I was beaten. To satisfy my father, I gradually learned to pretend, becoming the polite and outstanding student everyone spoke of. As time passed, I almost convinced myself.
Until now.
A voice kept telling me, "Try it, try it, maybe you'll find you're not that interested."
So I added something to her drink.
She quickly fell asleep.
I kissed her red lips. Midway, she tried to struggle awake, but ultimately, the effects of the drug were too strong.
Standing beside her, I looked down at the marks on her body. My feelings not only didn't diminish but intensified.
I began to plot.
Watching them show affection in front of me every time, the darkness within me almost drowned me.
I started to constantly hint to Ye Chuanxi that beautiful things should be kept private, even gifting him the place I had renovated.
As expected, the cage eventually housed its owner.
Through the hidden surveillance in the villa, I watched her grow thinner day by day, watched Ye Chuanxi force himself on her. I told myself, "Wait, just wait a little longer."
My waiting time had arrived.
Jin Ke rescued her, and she and Ye Chuanxi finally broke up completely.
I watched indifferently as Ye Chuanxi drowned his sorrows in alcohol. So what?
My chance had come.
I began to pursue her openly, constantly creating surprises. Jin Ke was the only slight annoyance.
Watching her gradually soften, I could feel that I was close to succeeding.
At the Liang family's birthday banquet, I deliberately brought her, deliberately wore matching couple's outfits. Seeing Ye Chuanxi's pained expression, I felt no guilt whatsoever.
I led her over, still greeting them gently, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing her gaze towards Ye Chuanxi utterly unfazed, I was satisfied, but it wasn't enough. I needed to test her again.
So, I deliberately invited her to dance after Ye Chuanxi. Seeing that she ultimately chose me, I finally felt completely at ease.
I held her as we walked towards the dance floor. Looking at her docile profile in my arms, my heart melted, and I became lost in admiration.
As if possessed, I blurted out that question. The moment it left my lips, I regretted it. How could I be so impatient?
Fortunately, she agreed.
Exhilaration washed over me. I felt like the happiest person in the world. I held her tightly, and in those brief few minutes, I had already planned our wedding venue.
But happiness vanished so quickly.
When I saw her body at the police station, my vision went black, and I suddenly couldn't hear anything.
How could this be? After planning for so long, after just getting her, how could I lose her so quickly?
