I was a purveyor of erotic goods, walking the tightrope of legality, supplying adult toys to overseas scam operations.
One day when the delivery guy called in sick, I personally made the drop-off. I woke up in a basement, trapped in a metal cage meant for poultry.
Thankfully, I had shared my real-time location with my boyfriend of many years before setting out.
My boyfriend came to save me, but I watched in horror as Granger tortured him and his team to death right before my eyes.
With his dying breath, my boyfriend whispered: "Run."
I swallowed my pride and became Granger's obedient lapdog in a remote bamboo village deep in the rainforest.
After my carefully plotted revenge failed a year later, I decided to end my life on December 28th. But on that very day, I met her.

I Was Atoning For My Boyfriend's Death When I Met Her

"Frost's people have gotten into a fight with Granger's men..."


I stood up, pacing anxiously in the cave. There had to be a way out! There just had to be!


The roaring bonfire suddenly caught my eye.


"Scarlett, it's raining outside and so damp. How did you get this fire going?"


Suddenly, an idea struck me. I couldn't help but burst into laughter, doubling over.


"What's wrong with you? Keep it down," Scarlett asked worriedly.


"It's nothing. Get some rest. I've figured out a plan."


This time, I'd make sure they all paid the price.


In the middle of the night, I fell into a deep slumber.


In my dreams, I saw my loving boyfriend, my supportive mother-in-law, and Scarlett, my savior...


Surprisingly, I slept incredibly well that night.


The next morning, I woke up early. I bit my finger and used the blood to write a message on the ground next to Scarlett: Thank you. See you in the next life.
