Chapter 2
One second before blood splattered everywhere, Declan kicked the knife away.
I groaned and clutched my hand.
Without looking, I knew the blade had twisted back and sliced open my palm, blood seeping through my fingers.
Declan scooped up the crying, trembling Ruby.
His expression was stone-cold.
“Found the blood source. Your father is receiving treatment now p>
Pain made me bite through my lower lip.
“Show me p>
Declan nodded, and his bodyguard held a phone up to my face.
The phone was connected to surveillance footage-my father was surrounded by several doctors, and I could clearly see the blood plasma containers.
I breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Declan’s retreating figure.
“Declan, let’s get divorced p>
His steps faltered, and he turned around.
I could see Ruby’s lips curl into a smile, though she quickly buried her face in his chest to hide it.
“Ruby’s just a kid. She won’t affect you, so I won’t agree to a divorce p>
Declan’s eyes were dark and deep.
“My mother’s life was my wedding gift to you, and it’s also the chains binding our marriage. For the rest of this lifetime, you’ll never escape p>
With shaking hands, I lit a cigarette and scrolled through my phone without looking at him again.
Blood from my palm stained the screen-it took me forever to wipe it clean.
Declan instructed his subordinates:
“Go buy gauze and medicine. My wife’s palm can’t be allowed to scar p>
Apparently, he’d forgotten-I already had countless scars on my body and soul because of him and his mother.
His footsteps gradually faded.
Looking at the deep and shallow scars on my wrists, I spoke to the lawyer on the phone:
“Prepare divorce papers for me. I need them today p>
After hanging up, I stubbed out my cigarette and went downstairs to check on my father.

Chapter 2
In the hospital corridor, several nurses were whispering among themselves.
“So horrible, they slit his wrists and ankles to drain the blood p>
“That’s what happens when you mess with the wrong people p>
My heart jumped to my
throat.
I ran desperately toward the hospital room.
My high heel broke, and I heard the crack of bones in my foot twisting.
Limping inside, I saw my father’s limbs rigid in a spread-eagle position, his wrists and ankles torn open with flesh exposed, his skin an unnatural blue-gray color.
“…Dad p>
I tentatively approached and pressed his hand against my face.
“Dad p>
My father’s ice-cold hand made my tears feel even more piercing.
In the deathly quiet room, I could hear laughter from next door.
Ruby was acting coy and spoiled:
“Declan, I’m craving cherry pie right now! I don’t care-if you don’t go get it yourself today, I won’t take my
“Go get it now and feed it to me~ Come on, hurry up p>
Footsteps approached.
medicine p>
Ruby pitifully held up her bandage-wrapped hand. Declan had his arm around her waist as they walked out of the hospital room.
When they passed by my doorway, he deliberately gave her cheek a gentle pinch.
Ruby pouted, catching sight of me standing in the room.
She smiled bright as sunshine.
“Raven, I forgive you for what happened earlier. The Lord teaches us to forgive others. Declan won’t be angry anymore either, right p>
But Declan wouldn’t meet my eyes.
After ten years together, I knew clearly-he felt guilty now.
I stepped over him and grabbed his chin with my fingers, forcing him to look up.
Even when he frowned, I didn’t let go.
“My dad is dead,” I said quietly.
He suddenly smiled faintly. “Your dad had it coming. But the blood in his body won’t go to waste-how about some blood pudding p>
SLAP!
Chapter 2
I slapped him hard across the face.
Declan’s head snapped to the side, his expression shadowed by his hair.
“Don’t hit Declan! God won’t forgive you for this p>
Ruby, who had jumped in front of him, quickly received a slap from me too.
The moment Ruby cried out in pain, Declan moved.
He wanted to scold me but saw the tears streaming down my face-his expression instantly became confused.
I’d only seen that look once before-seven years ago.
That time, when his mother was undergoing cancer treatment, I disappeared for seven days.
When we met again, I was also in tears.
The careful facade I usually wore had completely cracked.
I made him promise never to lie to me again.
But he lied to me three times.
He lied about handling business when he was really taking Ruby’s virginity.
He lied about not caring about birthdays, throwing away the cake I made from scratch while keeping the handmade gift Ruby gave him under
his pillow.
He lied about saving my father, but only left me with a corpse…
The harsh words on Declan’s lips softened.
“God gave Ruby a vision about bloodletting therapy being effective. I didn’t expect your dad couldn’t handle it, but I promise he’ll get a proper
funeral p>
“This time it’s my fault. You can do whatever you want, just don’t hurt yourself p>
The moment he finished speaking, I pulled out the metal hair pin I’d been using and stabbed it into his shoulder.
Ruby screamed through her tears while he squeezed her hand, telling her not to move,
Suddenly, I wanted to laugh.
How had I become the villain in this story?
My fingertip touched the warm blood, and I rubbed it gently.
“Declan Sterling, I want you to personally slit Ruby’s wrists and ankles and drain three bowls of blood p>
