No woman could stand the pain of losing her child. Elizabeth tried hard to bury it deep in her mind, yet Marvin rubbed her nose in that memory without the slightest mercy.
Elizabeth twitched her mouth with composure, her tone sarcastic. "Congratulations. Your son will have a bright future as the lawful heir to the Bennett family."
Undisturbed by her sarcasm at all, Marvin continued pushing inside her body with an evil smile while clenching her legs. It hurt so much. Not daring to make a sound, Elizabeth bit her lips tightly with her eyes shut. Miserable tears trickled down her cheeks.
If only it were raining now. She wailed on the night of her eighteenth birthday, but no one could hear it due to the beating of rain outside.
If only a rainstorm could fall at the moment.
...
The next morning.
Confused by Elizabeth's swollen eyes, Ann then caught the suspicious red marks on her wrists hidden beneath the loosen sleeves. With a frown, Ann took her hand before asking worriedly, "You seem so weak. Aren't you feeling unwell?"
Elizabeth's fingers tingled with a tremble. She took back her hand while whispering, "I just have a painful period. Don't worry."
Ann gazed at Elizabeth's pale face with her deep eyes. God knew what was on her mind.
...
In the evening after school, Elizabeth worked part-time at a cafe as usual. Late at night, several policemen appeared and took her away without warning.
In the police station, Elizabeth saw the cool killer she met that night. Very different from the man she saw then, Robert, in a light gray suit, was sitting upright with an imposing aura, his face chiseled and impressive. Elizabeth once witnessed him shoot someone to death which kept haunting her since that day. Yet, rather than a brutal murderer, he looked more like a gentleman right now.
