Jay stared at Marilyn with a gloomy gaze and an intense hatred in his eyes.
Afraid to meet his eagle and profound gaze, Marilyn held Tiger silently as tears streamed down her face.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Marilyn glanced at Jay and got up to open the door.
Standing outside the door was a courier wearing blue overalls and a baseball cap. There was an enormous rectangular package in front of him. He spoke in a gruff voice, "Here’s your package. Please put down your signature."
Marilyn asked skeptically, "My package?"
She had not bought anything online lately, though.
The courier explained, saying, "It's probably a refrigerator or some other appliances."
Marilyn turned back to glance at Jay, thinking that it was probably an appliance he bought, hence she said t o the courier, "Push it inside then."
The courier pushed the package into the living room with his cart and glanced at Jay and Tiger standing across from him with his dark pupils.
"Do you need help to unpack it?" the courier asked
thoughtfully.
Marilyn nodded. "Thank you."
The courier pulled out a sharp knife and cut the tape o f the package before saying to Marilyn, "You can open i t now."
Unsuspecting, Marilyn walked up to the package and slowly opened it up.
As soon as she saw the badly mutilated yet familiar face inside the package, Marilyn slumped to the ground in shock.
"Arghhh!" she let out a shrill and tragic scream.
Ken laid in the box, bloodied and badly mutilated. Also inside the rectangular parcel box were white flowers scattered everywhere, making it look just like a coffin.
Inside the coffin, a weak and gasping sound fell on her ears. "I'm Ken, Marilyn. Save me!"
Marilyn was devastated. She sat on the ground and asked in a trembling voice, "What happened to you?"
Ken’s feeble voice was heard. "We’ve been exposed, Marilyn. It's never too late to repent. You won't be able to pay for this even if you have ten lives..."
Marilyn paled with fright, feeling like she had just fallen into an ice cave.
Jay glanced calmly at Ken’s ghastly wounds and eventually asked Marilyn with an indifferent voice," What are you planning to do with him?"
Marilyn roared. "I hate him! I wish he could die!"
Ken was so furious that a spurt of energy returned to his dying body. He pointed at Marilyn and roared. ' You vicious woman. I'm so disappointed in you!"
