"Baby, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have tried to strangle you. I know I was wrong. Please don’t go, baby. I can’t live without you..."
William Quinn pleaded.
He was frantic, clutching her tightly, terrified she would vanish the very next moment.
His body was even trembling slightly.
But Iris could only think, ’He’s a madman!’
’A complete and utter madman!’
’How can someone’s mood change so fast?!’
’One second he’s trying to strangle me, and the next he’s apologizing and saying he can’t live without me.’
’Terrifying. This is terrifying!’
"Let go! Let me go!"
Iris struggled with all her might, her voice choked with sobs. "I hate you! You’re a devil! I don’t want to be with you! I don’t want this!"
Her cries were filled with despair. Despite using every ounce of her strength, she couldn’t break free from his arms.
They were like thick iron chains, binding her completely, making escape impossible.
’How hopeless.’
Hearing the sob in her voice, William grew even more frantic. Helpless and distressed, he wiped away her tears.
"I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, baby. I’m truly sorry. I didn’t want to hurt you. I was just so angry... you wanting to leave me... The moment I thought of you leaving me, I just couldn’t control myself..."
"How could you leave me? You can’t leave me. You’re my treasure, the one I searched so hard for. You’re supposed to stay with me forever."
He repeated these words over and over like a man possessed.
Iris struggled until she was too exhausted to move, leaving her limp in his embrace as tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."
William apologized over and over until his voice grew hoarse.
Iris closed her eyes in despair and asked, "What will it take for you to let me go?"
