Chapter 11
At this moment, he seemed like he had just woken from a deep dream, regretful and crying bitterly.
“Carola, I was wrong. I know I hurt you. When I first approached you, I had ulterior motives, but as I spent more time with you, I became deeply drawn to you. I’ve never met a girl as kind as you…”
“Yes, it’s precisely because I’m kind that you toyed with me. You watched as I fell into your sweet words, unable to extricate myself, didn’t you feel smug about it?”
I slowly walked closer to him, recalling the past and finding it all incredibly ridiculous.
He wasn’t kneeling in repentance because

he truly realized his mistake; he was kneeling because he knew he was about to die and was scared.
“You used to be so proud in front of me. How could you ever know you were wrong? When you saved me from Shervin’s gun earlier, I really thought you didn’t want me to die. But in the end, wasn’t it all for your selfish reasons?”
“I really was afraid you would die!”
Hart looked up at me, his tears flowing even more fiercely.
“I’ve regretted it ever since three months ago, when I held that charred body in the hospital room. I only wished it wasn’t you!
“These past three months, I’ve lived in a haze. If it weren’t for Shervin, I wouldn’t have

abandoned, and to watch everything you once had disappear. In the end, you’ll live like a rat in the gutter, forever looking up at the happiness of others!”
I wouldn’t kill him like I did with Shervin and his sister, but I would make him watch as everything he had vanished. In the end, he would live a miserable life, always in darkness, yearning for the happiness he could never reach.
Lain understood my intent, nonchalantly put away his gun, then kicked Hart to the ground.
“Before the lady changes her mind, get lost, you scumbag!”
But Hart knelt there, not getting up. “Carola, I’m sorry, truly sorry…”

Looking at the stiff bodies, I sighed quietly and carried my son forward.
But in the next moment, I saw a familiar face.
It was Hart.
He lay in the snow, his cheeks red from the cold, his body stiff and unmoving, clearly lifeless. But his arms and legs were twisted in an eerie manner.
Seeing this, I felt an indescribable emotion stir inside me.
Lain stood beside me and said, “After he lost everything, no one dared to help him because of K’s influence. To survive, he ended up on the streets as a beggar. One time, after stealing food from someone, the people he stole from teamed up to beat him.

His limbs were broken on the spot. I had thought someone as pathetic as him would make it through the winter!”
The baby blinked in my arms, curiously gazing around, as if sensing something.
I covered his eyes and walked away with a blank expression.
As we entered the restaurant, the warm air from the air conditioning greeted us, instantly warming me.
Outside, Hart’s body had been loaded into the car, slowly disappearing into the snowstorm.
The End.

Fred funded my tuition for four years, as if a light had entered my world.
The night before our wedding, he laughed and joked in the private room.“It only cost a little money, and I easily won her heart.”
“I’ve been craving her body for four years, and now she’s finally mine.”
What he never expected was that I would seek revenge, call off the wedding, and fall in love with his childhood friend Nevo, who was also the ruthless mafia king.
