He called her name over and over, but no matter how hard he searched, there was no sign of her anywhere.
Through the window, Tristan suddenly noticed something outside in the distance–Lisa standing next to Nicole, who was tied to
a chair.

It hit him in an instant: Nicole wasn’t inside the burning building. Lisa had set him up deliberately.
He quickly turned on the tap, soaked a tablecloth, and draped it over himself before running out of the flames.
“Lisa, are you insane? Do you even realize what you’re doing?”
“What I’m doing? Isn’t it obvious?” Lisa sneered. “I’m getting revenge.”
_______Tristan ignored her, his eyes darting to Nicole, who was slumped motionless in the chair. Despite the roaring fire nearby,
remained completely unresponsive, and his worry deepened.
“What did you do to her?”
“Nothing much. Just gave her a little sleeping pill, that’s all.”
Then, she pulled out a knife, its blade smeared with blood. The sight made Tristan’s heart clench.
“Lisa, if you dare hurt her—” |
“And what if I already did?” Lisa cut him off, smiling as she gazed at the blood on the knife.

“She ruined everything for me. She’s the reason I lost my child, my career, my reputation. And yet she gets to escape here, living in this little paradise as if nothing happened? Do you think that’s fair?”
“It’s my fault! Blame me, punish me–I deserve it. Just don’t hurt her!”
To prove his point, he started slapping himself hard across the face.
“Is this enough? Does this make you feel better? I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!”
He hit himself again and again, apologizing repeatedly, his voice cracking with emotion.
But Lisa found it all laughable, her expression filled with disdain as she watched his pitiful display.

“You wasted two years of my life, took away my child, and left me unable to ever have children again. Do you really slaps can make up for all of that?”
Lisa narrowed her eyes, a chilling gleam flashing within them.
“I won’t forgive you, and I won’t forgive her either. Tristan, I want you to watch the person you love most die right in front of
you!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lisa raised the knife and drove it straight toward Nicole.
Tristan reacted instantly, lunging forward and grabbing the blade just in time.
“I won’t let you hurt her!”

“Let me go! Tristan, I hate you! I hate you!”
She twisted the knife and turned it on Tristan, plunging it into his chest with all her strength.
Warm blood sprayed across her face, and in that moment, her manic fury began to fade, replaced by a dawning realization of
what she had done.
As the blood continued to gush from Tristan’s chest, Lisa froze in horror, her hands trembling.
Dropping the knife, she stumbled backward, her voice shaking
“You forced me to do this… you and Nicole both pushed me to this!”
She turned, intending to flee, but the sound of sirens filled the air. The police had arrived.
