I got in the car without looking back as if I had never heard anything.
Just then, Marcus pulled out a sharp dagger from somewhere, looking at me with despair.
“Kaia, if I were to die in front of you, would you still be so heartless towards me?”
The car window was half open, and I turned my head to look at him.
He seemed to see hope, instantly smiling and laughing.
“Kaia… I knew you still love…”
Without waiting for Marcus to finish speaking, I started the car and left the place without hesitation.
In the rearview mirror, he instantly looked as if his soul had been sucked out, collapsing to the ground.
He kept murmuring in his mouth, “Kaia… I don’t believe you don’t love me…”
“You must still be angry with me, right? If I were hurt, you would definitely soften up.”
“After all, whenever my hand was cut and bleeding in the past, you would feel so sorry that tears would fall from
your eyes…”
With that, Marcus raised the dagger high and without hesitation, stabbed it towards his own heart.
In the moment when he was lying on the ground in pain, he kept saying, “I’m sorry Kaia, I really know I was wrong.”
“Don’t go… Don’t leave me…”
The next day, news of Marcus’s death reached my ears.
The police took me to record a statement because I was the last person he had seen before he died.
After all this was done, the police told me everything was okay and let me go home.
They also informed me of the reason for Marcus’s death, which was because he had been stabbed in the heart. By the time he was found, it was already too late.
Listening to this, I was just shocked.
I thought he was just trying to scare me into forgiving him, but I never expected that he had actually died.
When I walked out of the police station, it was already dark outside. A chilly evening breeze blew by, and I instine- tively wrapped my coat tighter around me.
Marcus died.

I didn’t feel any great satisfaction in getting revenge, just a sense of the impermanence of life.
He really did get what he deserved.

In fact, he could have lived out the rest of his life peacefully without being so extreme. Whether it was because of love or insecurity, only he knew.
But I didn’t want to delve into it at all…
Lost in thought, I saw Finley rushing towards me. He parked the car and strode quickly to where I was standing.
Just as I was about to speak, he suddenly embraced me tightly, almost as if he wanted to crush me into his bones and blood.
“Are you okay? Is there anywhere that doesn’t feel comfortable?”
“I went to the company to pick you up, and I heard that Marcus had died. The police even took you away. I was al- most going crazy with worry!”
“Kaia… I… I can’t be without you.”
He was so flustered that he didn’t know what to say. It was the first time I had ever seen such a chaotic scene.
I took a deep breath, wrapped my arms around Finley, closed my eyes slowly and leaned against his chest.
“I’m fine, you won’t lose me either.”
“I had finally found happiness, why would I do something stupid before fully enjoying it?”
Finley gently let go of me, my eyes were already red.
He tugged at the corner of his lips and nodded, “I won’t lose you. If that day really comes, I’ll go with you.‘
“Nonsense!”
I quickly interrupted him, then looked into the distance and smiled slightly.
“A happy life is just beginning, and so is my life.”
“Let’s go home, back to our home.”
