The medical report was a horror story. Her arms and legs had been cleanly amputated. Her tongue had been extracted. Her nose was sliced off, her eyes surgically removed, and her face branded over and over with a searing hot iron.
The calculated sadism of it made Elena physically sick.
"It... it was Michelle who did this, wasn't it?" Elena whispered, sitting by her bedside.
Bianca nodded weakly.
Fresh tears spilled down Elena's cheeks, which she quickly wiped away.
"I knew it. God, I wish I hadn't given her such a quick death. I should have made her feel every ounce of what she did to you." A wave of furious regret crashed over her for having slit Michelle's throat so mercifully.
"You don't have to worry anymore. I'm going to take care of you. Nobody will ever hurt you again," Elena promised, wrapping Bianca in a gentle hug.
This was her best friend, the woman who had sacrificed literally everything for her. Elena owed her a lifetime of devotion.
Memories of their past flooded Elena's mind. They had started out as bitter rivals, evolving into begrudging allies, and finally cementing themselves as inseparable best friends.
Bianca had once jokingly told her that she had never truly loved anyone in her entire life—except Elena.
She had sworn that if she were born a man in her next life, she'd pursue Elena relentlessly. They had even pinky-promised on it.
Bianca had been so impossibly proud, a stunning, radiant woman who owned every room she walked into.
Now, she was trapped in this mutilated shell.
The sheer hell she must have endured over the past year in Thailos was unfathomable.
The worst part was that Elena had traveled to Thailos multiple times for supplies over the past year.
How many times had she walked past that very alley, oblivious to her best friend's suffering?
The guilt was suffocating. To endure absolute destruction just to protect a secret... was it really worth it?
Bianca was too hopelessly loyal for her own good.
Elena brought Bianca back to the farmhouse in the Outer Northern Farmlands.
