Chapter 9
“Why did you kill my mother? Revenge on me? To punish me for the woman you love? Adrian, ask yourself, haven’t you tormented me long enough? I’ve lost one of my kidneys and my baby. Isn’t that enough?”
Sienna turned to face Adrian, her eyes devoid of light and love, only filled with extreme indifference and… hatred. “Isn’t it enough?”
“Sienna, don’t…” Adrian furrowed his brows, unable to call her unreasonable. He paused, “I didn’t kill Mrs. Mckinney.”
“You didn’t kill her? Huh… indeed, you didn’t.” Sienna laughed bitterly, clinging to her mother’s now cold body.
“It was me who killed Mom. It was me who insisted on loving you. If I hadn’t fallen in love with you, maybe none of this would have happened.”
Sienna spoke to herself, and her voice was filled with sorrow.
Lara had been a well-known socialite, a graceful, charming middle-aged woman. It was ridiculous that she lost her life just
like that.
“How could you be so foolish, Mom? Why did you do this? You could’ve just told me. I don’t love him anymore. I really don’t…”
“I’ll take you away. Away…”
Sienna’s gaze was hazy, and her words were repetitive. Her mind was filled with Lara’s last look. Lara was now dead and cold…. covered in blood.
“Sienna, snap out of it.” Adrian watched Sienna, feeling suffocated as she spoke of not loving him anymore.
“I’ll give Mrs. Mckinney a proper burial.”
In the end, Adrian’s eyes went cold, leaving only those words for Sienna. His heartless tone couldn’t affect her anymore because her heart was already shattered.
“Adrian, let’s get a divorce.”
Pressing her head against her mother’s, the sticky blood sobered Sienna up. She had made a mistake, and it was time to set
things right.
