Logo of me!” I shouted.

“Don’t be afraid, Em And please, don’t be like this. I won’t let anything happen to you. I’ve already made all the necessary arrangements. So all you need to do is lure the kidnappers out,” Irvin coneil, trying to reassure me.
It didn’t matter what he said. It also didn’t matter how much he promised I would be fine. He knew I would still be frightened. He also knew that he shouldn’t be forcing me to do this.
When the kidnappers had told him to exchange me for Julianne, had refused at first. He had firmly and decisively rejected them. But then, they sent him a video recording of Julianne. And no matter how hard he searched, he wasn’t able to determine the location in the video.
“Lianne’s situation is dire, Emi. The kidnappers will only show themselves if they see you…” He tried to reason with me.
I was obviously against his plan.
Irvin wouldn’t be forcing me to do this if Julianne hadn’t looked like she was in peril.
He genuinely wanted me to forgive him. He truly wanted us to start over. In all honesty, he would rather die than force me to do something again . He wished he didn’t have to coerce me at all.
Nevertheless, it wasn’t his life that was in danger. It was Julianne’s
He had promised Diana that he would take good care of Julianne for the rest of his life. Her parents had passed away because of him, so he couldn’t be the reason she died as well.
“Trust me, Emi. I won’t let anything happen to you!” Irvin repeated
He had arranged everything. He had ensured no harm would come to me. He spoke gently and confidently, reassuring me over and over
But the more
e he did, the more my fear grow
“You’d better let me go right this instant, Irvin!” I yelled .
Then, I lowered my head and bit down hard on the arm that was holding me. My plan was to escape when he loosened his grip due to the pain.
Yet, against my expectations, it didn’t work. I was biting him hard enough to draw blood . And still, he refused to let go.
Irvin didn’t allow me to keep biting him, I wasn’t sure what he had drugged me with, but my body instantly went limp. I felt weak, and I couldn’t even scream.
I glared fiercely at him through my shock and terror.
Picking me up, he left through the back entrance. Then, we got into a car and left.
Irvin’s tight grip on me loosened slightly after the car had traveled for quite some distance.
“Don’t be afraid, Emi. Just trust me. You’ll be fine,” he whispered, gently stroking my hair . “ You just need to make an appearance and lure the kidnappers out. The situation Lianne is in is really ”
He trailed off, unsure of how to continue. So instead , he took out his phone and showed me the video the kidnappers had sent
him.
“Look, Emi. Lianne’s situation is bad. She’s really in danger. If we don’t rescue her in time, she Irvin tralled off again.
But I knew what he had left unspoken. Julianne would die.
Irvin had shown me the video so i would know how tragic Julianne’s situation was. He was probably hoping I would pity her enough to cooperate with his plan

However, I only had one thought. Everything he had done was just to manipulate me into willingly walking to my own death. Myule was precious to me. Why would throw it away? And for June, of all people,
But I was unable to speak. So I couldn’t tell him any of this. All I could do was shoot Irvin a death stare.
He simply wouldn’t stop until he had cost me my life! I swear, if Iced, I wouldn’t let him off. If I ended up becoming a ghost , I would hamt him!
“Don’t worry, Emi. I’ll make sure nothing happens to you. I love you so much, after all.” Irvin tried to reassure me yet again.
He was looking at me with a heartfelt expression, as if silently saying he would die before he let that happen to me. He probably thought this would put me at ease.

Instead, I was disgusted. All I wanted to do was puke. My sole thought was to kill him!
I didn’t understand how he could be so repulsive. He kept professing that he loved me. Yet, here he was, sending me to my death!
I had to have been cursed with eight lifetimes” worth of bad luck. Otherwise, how else would I have ended up being loved by him? How else would I be stuck with his perverse form of love?
