I still went to find Daniel.
After what he said that day, I tossed and turned all night, feeling guilty.
I was supposed to be the dark, twisted, vicious female supporting character, driven by love.
But somehow, I had become the manipulative, two–timing, “white moonlight” love interest.
For both our sakes, I owed him an explanation.
And I had to apologize to the female lead for my past actions.
And then, I had to say a proper goodbye.
And I would start my new life a life that belonged to Aria Astor

And then, I had to say a proper goodbye.
And I would start my new life, a life that belonged to Aria Astor.
The empty hallway.
The lab door slowly opened.
I stood up.
I rushed over.
My legs were numb from squatting. I was limping.

A beautiful figure appeared and, incidentally, shot me a disdainful look.
I still managed a surprised, well–behaved wave.
“Hannah!”
The word had barely left my lips.
The scene in front of me froze,
Time stopped.
The world seemed to stand still.
Everything faded to black and white.
Only a single, emotionless voice resonated through my mind.

“Hannah Thorne! You dare to fight me for Daniel? Go to hell!”
At the critical moment, Daniel didn’t hesitate for a second,
He stood in front of Hannah.
The tip of the knife sank into his shoulder, trembling as it stopped.
But blood still flowed, a steady, crimson stream.
