"I don’t need you to save . Get away from ," Mika Sumrs said coldly, shaking off her hand.
Maggie Monroe rubbed her arm, her smile growing more sinister. "Miss Sumrs, you stole my man, stole what was rightfully mine. And you still want to keep holding on to him? Life doesn’t work that way."
"I don’t know what you’re talking about." ’When did I ever steal anything from her?’
"Oh, you’ll understand. You’ll understand very soon." Maggie Monroe sneered, raising her hand to lunge at Mika.
Mika Sumrs grabbed a nearby pillow to block the attack, her whole body trembling. "You lunatic! What are you doing?! I don’t even know you!"
"Don’t know ? But you know Tristan Grayson, don’t you? Mika Sumrs, do you really believe you’re the one he loves? Let tell you, that’s impossible. As long as I’m around, Tristan will never, ever love you." Having missed Mika with the needle, Maggie was now utterly crazed.
"You know Tristan?"
"I know him? Of course I do! Without , Mika, do you really think a woman like you would ever be worthy of marrying Tristan? You’re nothing but my poor, pathetic replacent."
"What are you rambling on about?" The woman’s words made Mika’s head throb with a buzzing pain.
Seeing Mika’s pained expression, Maggie’s laugh grew more triumphant and vicious. "If you don’t believe , you can co with to the rooftop and see for yourself."
Mika clutched her head in pain, fighting to remain calm. "I’m not going with you. Why should I?"
"Not going?" Maggie laughed mockingly, as if she’d expected this response. "If you don’t, your son and your mother just might jump from the roof."
"You psycho! What did you do?!" Hearing those words, Mika’s composure finally shattered.
"Oh, nothing much. I just happened to see them on my way here, so I had my n tie them up on the roof."
"You lunatic. You’re a complete lunatic."
"Heh. So I’m a lunatic. Are you coming with or not?"
"I’ll go with you. Just don’t hurt them." ’True or not, she couldn’t risk her family’s safety.’
Maggie then held out a vial. "Drink this. Then we can go."
Without hesitation, Mika took the vial, twisted it open, and drank it all in one go.
’Seeing Mika drink it all, Maggie finally felt a bit of relief. But then a sudden panic seized her heart, making it hard to breathe. Still, it wasn’t her ti yet. If she was going to die, she would take their entire family with her. Only then would things be truly complete.’
On the rooftop, Una Sullivan clutched Kiki, staring fearfully at the tall n standing before them.
When she saw Mika arrive, Una Sullivan burst into tears. "Mika, why are you here too?"
Before Mika could speak, Maggie shoved her hard from behind. With her injured leg, the push sent Mika sprawling to the ground.
Looking down at the fallen Mika, Maggie walked over, crouched down, and took out her phone. She opened a video and held it out for Mika to see.
The video showed a man and a woman—Tristan and Maggie.
The woman was playfully asking the man to feed her. He was smiling gently as he did...
Scene after scene played out, and a wrenching pain seized Mika’s heart. It was a pain far worse than any physical ache.
Her brow furrowed in agony. Her head felt like it was about to split open, and with the pain, fragnts of mory seed to be returning, piece by piece...
"Mika, you’re just my replacent. Did you really fool yourself into thinking you could keep Tristan? Didn’t your teachers ever tell you when you were a child that greedy little kids never get a happy ending?"
