After the Rescue, He Regretted It

Summary

When we went to rescue my fiancé's childhood friend, my mother became their hostage.

My fiancé, the squad leader, shot and killed her.

Afterward, he held me, his eyes red-rimmed, explaining, "Your mother was trying to push Willow out to cause a riot. I had no other choice."

"I'll convince Willow not to expose your mother, to try and preserve her good name."

I couldn't believe it, yet with each piece of damning evidence, I was forced to accept it. The immense pain extinguished my will to live.

One time, as I slit my wrist again, I heard Sebastian Stone scoff in his study.
