As the pair engaged in a fierce altercation, Ryan unexpectedly brandished a blade and plunged it into Lily's midsection. Instantly, Lily's pristine attire became crimson-stained.
I'd nearly forgotten Ryan's inherently ruthless and aggressive nature. It mirrored his actions in my past existence. Upon discovering their infidelity, he didn't hesitate to end my life.
Presently, Lily was facing the consequences of her actions, but I couldn't allow her demise to be so swift.
The correctional officers, realizing someone's life was at risk, swiftly intervened, separating Ryan and rushing Lily to receive medical attention.
As Lily's eyes met mine, she implored: "Darling, help me. Don't let them imprison me. Don't let my beauty fade. I'm pleading with you."
I merely smirked. Hadn't I beseeched her similarly in my previous life? Alas, what goes around comes around.
"I hope you find joy in your remaining days," I remarked.
The glimmer of hope in Lily's gaze gradually dissipated.
