# Chapter 7
‘Alexander! Do you realize what you’ve done? You killed her!”
Alexander froze, caught completely off guard, just as he was about to snap back.
Ethan hurled a death report into his chest, eyes burning with rage and disbelief.
“Do you even know how much she suffered before she died?!”
“Everyone knew Grace was terrified of heights, and you still made her ride the Drop Tower! Alexander, are you even
human?
“Because of that ride, her fear triggered premature labor. The wrong position, the wrong strain, she tore five centimeters
down there!”
“She lost so much blood afterward that, by the time of the autopsy, her body was practically drained dry Before she died.
she was trying to protect your child.”
“But she’d injured her right hand years ago saving you, she couldn’t even hold on! All she could do was watch as the baby died right in front of her. Do you know how hopeless she must’ve felt in that moment?”
“Alexander, you bastard! Grace did everything for you! She even saved your life! She stayed with you when you hit rock bottom, rebuilt everything beside you, bore your children! She was your wife! How could you do this to her for that
woman Lila?”
The words hit Alexander like blows. His expression went from confusion to dazed disbelief.
“What did you say? Old injury? What injury?”
He racked his brain, but nothing came up. When did she ever hurt her hand saving me?
Ethan’s voice trembled with anger. “We grew up together, all of us. Everyone could tell Grace liked you the moment she
transferred to our class.”
“That day your mother tried to jump off the roof with you, it was Grace who risked her life to pull you back. She was so
small then, but she held on for half an hour! When you two were finally rescued, her right hand was completely
shattered”
“And what did you do after that? You turned right around and started dating Lila!”
“When Lila left, I thought you’d finally realized Grace’s worth. I never imagined you’d be the one to kill her!
Ethan grabbed my right hand and thrust it in front of Alexander’s face.
Even after all these years, the scar around my wrist was still shocking to look at, the one I got from dragging Alexander

off that rooftop, the rough wall tearing through my skin.
The more Ethan spoke, the angrier he got, until finally he swung and punched Alexander hard in the face before storming out, slamming the door behind him.
Alexander didn’t move. He just stood there, stunned, not even reacting to the hit. His brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
He remembered that day.
His mother had dragged him to the rooftop. He’d been drowning in despair, swallowed whole by darkness.
Then, at the very last second, a pair of soft but unyielding hands had grabbed him.
He’d been too drugged with sleeping pills to even open his eyes. Just when he thought he’d fall, a gentle voice kept whispering, urging him not to give up.
So he’d held on. With the last shred of strength he had left, he’d clung to those hands.
When he woke up in the hospital, Lila was sitting beside his bed.
And so, of course, he’d thought it was her.
She’d smiled vaguely, neither confirming nor denying it, and he’d chosen to believe what he wanted, that the one who’d saved him was Lila.
A girl who wasn’t afraid to die for him, that became his light in the darkness.
From that moment on, no matter how cruel or manipulative Lila became, he convinced himself she had her reasons. He forgave everything.
Even if it meant destroying me.
Now he stood there, staring blankly at my lifeless body.
If that really was me, then what about the baby…?
He couldn’t let himself think about it. Couldn’t bear the truth.
No, he told himself. This was all fake. I had to be faking it, colluding with everyone, trying to make him pay
He’d find the truth himself.
But every investigation he did only proved the opposite.
Everything he uncovered contradicted the lies he’d built to protect himself.
He’d always thought my sudden return was just opportunism, that I’d come back because the Hayes family was weak. # Chapter 7
