Chapter 5
Regina and Thomas kept playing out their emotional scene until sirens started wailing outside.
“Regina, what’s that?” Thomas asked.
“Probably a fire truck,” Regina said.
She closed her eyes, looking determined. “You two should start. I’m leaving.”
“Leaving for what?” I sat up. I looked straight at them and smiled. Both of them froze in shock.
“You weren’t unconscious?” Regina’s face changed instantly. She shoved me toward Thomas, who was already losing control under the drug. Then she ran out and locked the door behind her.
“Regina!” Thomas shouted after her.
The Moment he faced me, his expression shifted Completely. “People like you are nothing but tools to satisfy Me.”
He lunged at me. I let out a sharp scream. “Stay back. Don’t come near me.”
I kept shouting. At the same time, I pulled out a small hidden knife and waved it in front of him. “Don’t come any closer.”
I waited for my chance. Then I struck. The blade went straight into his upper thigh.
Thomas’s eyes went wide with shock. He howled, “How dare you!”
At that exact Moment, the door burst open. Police officers rushed in and pinned him down.
Thomas lay on the bed in agony. Regina had already been caught outside. The two of them looked at each other, and all they saw in each other’s eyes was despair.
Honestly, if they had just left me alone, I would not have done anything.
But they insisted on going this far.
The Moment Regina knocked me down, I had already sent a message to the police.
Thomas was nothing but a hypocrite. He claimed to love Regina, yet he still went after the woman she pushed onto him.
As for Regina, I stopped caring about her a long time ago. A friend like her wasn’t worth keeping.
In the end, the police ruled that Regina had kidnapped Me on purpose, and Thomas was guilty of attempted rape. Both of them were sent to prison. They would not be getting out anytime soon.
There was one more thing. Because I stabbed him in self–defense, Thomas would never be able to have sex again. Regina would never have to worry about him trying anything with her anymore.
[What do I even feel? This is satisfying, but why did the author write a scene like this?]
[Wait. Where’s the male lead? Doesn’t he care that the female lead went to prison?]
[What are you talking about? Ronald isn’t any better. Do you think he would let Sacha go? She’s in trouble.] [Exactly. After that party, the Cress family blocked Ronald from using his power to get Regina out. And since Thomas is ruined and can’t have children, the Mallin family abandoned him.]
I watched the comments with a quiet sense of satisfaction.
Then my grandmother’s lively voice came from beside Me. “Sacha, come eat some fruit. Stop staring at the TV. You’ll ruin your eyes. If you don’t come now, I’M eating it all.”
“I’m coming,” I said.
No matter who it was, no one was allowed to hurt my grandmother.
Just when I thought I could finally move on, Ronald Made his Move.
I had to admit that he got creative.
When I opened my eyes, my hands were tied tight. My body hung in midair. Beneath Me was a deep, dark pit. I heard Movement below–a low, chilling rustle. From the sound alone, I knew it was a snake pit.
I quickly looked around for my grandmother. She was not there.
I let out a quiet breath of relief. I had already sent her to stay with a friend. That friend and her father were both police officers. She was the same person who helped me last time.
At that moment, Regina leaned against Ronald.
[Ronald really went all out for Regina. He even went against his own family just to get revenge for her.]
[Is this really a romance story? These main characters are way too cruel.]
[Yeah, this is nothing like what I expected.]
(Of course. Other than the main characters, everyone else is treated like trash.]
I gave a small, cold smile and looked down at them. “Regina, what did I ever do to you? Why did you have to set me up again and again?”
I had wanted to ask that for a long time. When I searched My Memory, I realized I had always treated her as a friend. Back when I first saw those Comments, I thought they were ridiculous.
