Chapter 20
Ariana followed the three men back to the hospital.
Once inside the room, she approached with a bright smile.
“Loki, Darth, Anton–I brought dinner! Hope you like it.”
Her cheerful voice didn’t prompt any response from the men.
Though her smile stiffened, Ariana didn’t show it. Even without acknowledgment, she continued setting out the food.
When everything was set, she tried to pull them toward the table. After a day of not eating, the three finally gave in and sat down to eat.
Ariana played the perfect little maid, piling food onto their plates.
As they ate, all three found themselves thinking: If only this were Rebecca instead.
When she was done, the three men finally spoke.
“Thanks for your help lately. What do you want in return?”
“Name anything.”
“We’ll make it happen.”
It’s clear that they were determined to cut ties with her. Fine. They’d regret making an enemy of her.
Though hatred burned inside her, her face maintained its pitiful expression.
Eyes filled with tears, she looked at them.
“Is that what you think of me? That I’m just some gold–digger looking for a payout?”
The three men just watched her. The tears that once moved them now seemed completely
ineffective.
Ariana wiped her eyes and forced a shaky smile. “Fine. Then… can you just spend one last day

shopping with me tomorrow?”
She looked heartbroken, hanging her head and clutching her chest. After a moment, she looked up at
them.
“Just as a goodbye. Please?”
Anton touched by her performance and finally spoke. “Alright.”
Loki and Darth had been hesitating. But after Anton agreed, they exchanged glances and nodded.
The next day dawned bright and perfect for shopping.
Ariana wore a white dress, sunhat perched perfectly atop her styled hair.
The men had simply thrown on casual clothes.
Ariana bit back her annoyance, considering what she had planned.
The four set out together.
Ariana did all the talking, with Anton occasionally responding. The other two remained silent.
No matter how hard she tried to lighten the mood, they remained unresponsive.
Eventually, she fell quiet too.
Remembering how different their previous shopping trips had been, Ariana almost couldn’t maintain her composure.
Her face twisted with resentment, but the distracted men didn’t notice.
When they reached their destination, Ariana led them toward a particular intersection.
Upon arrival, she scanned the area until spotting a familiar license plate. Only then did she continue walking.
“Hey! There’s a place just up ahead with the best food. Let me treat you guys. Just one last meal to say thank you for everything.”
“Fine.” Tired of shopping, they readily agreed.

Chapter 20.
Ariana walked ahead, ensuring they wouldn’t notice the changing traffic light.
It happened in an instant.
Ariana turned to check if they were following.
Suddenly her eyes widened and she screamed, “Look out!”
With a loud thud, Ariana pushed the three men aside and was struck by a car.
The men initially annoyed at being shoved to the ground, but looked up to see Ariana lying in a pool
of blood.
“ARIANA!” Loki, Darth, and Anton cried out in horror.
Loki quickly recovered and called an ambulance.
The other two carefully cradled her body.
“Ariana, how do you feel?”
“Ariana, you…”
a mentally cursed the driver for not executing the plan properly.
the moment she heard them call her name, relief washed over her. It worked.
Struggling to maintain a beautiful expression despite her pain, she whispered faintly.
“You’re… okay. That’s all… that matters…”
Then she lost consciousness, as if unable to endure anymore.
