A short knife thrust fiercely into Janice’s abdomen!
Blood gushed from the wound, soaking her white dress, creating a horrifying sight.
Adrian, furious, rushed to her side and scooped Janice into his arms. “What happened? What’s going on?”
Adrian had already ordered Sienna’s hands and feet to be bound and confined her to the bed.
He did this to prevent Sienna from hurting herself and to stop her from harming Janice any further.
Despite his efforts, the scene Adrian dreaded still unfolded.
Janice trembled in Adrian’s embrace, like a frightened girl.
Her innocent eyes were filled with tears, and she pitifully looked at Adrian. “Adrian, Sienna said she had something to tell me. She told me to come closer, but I didn’t expect… Adrian, it hurts so much…”
Janice recounted the events in a broken manner, casting herself as the perfect victim.
Sienna lay in bed, laughing coldly. Her laugh made her suffer pain in the chest.
Janice had gone to great lengths to frame Sienna, even injuring herself severely.
And Sienna could do nothing because any explanation she offered sounded like an excuse.
Adrian’s face darkened as he held the weakened Janice, his gaze piercing Sienna, revealing his disgust.
How ruthless could one be to repeatedly harm such an innocent girl?
“Sienna, if anything happens to Janice, I’ll make you pay!”
Adrian stared at Sienna coldly with a chilling tone.
Each word felt like a needle, piercing Sienna’s most vulnerable spots.
Made her pay?
Wasn’t she barely surviving now?
Sienna smirked sarcastically, her entire body aching, feeling as if she were in hell.
Janice was right, even with Sienna’s hands tied up, Adrian would rather believe Sienna had cu**ingly stabbed Janice and never suspect Janice for a moment.
Perhaps even if Sienna died the next second, Adrian would think she deserved it.
“Just kill me.” Sienna laughed brazenly and crazily. “Adrian, end me with a single strike, and avenge your lover, how about that?”
One by one, Sienna’s loved ones departed. Her life now was more unbearable than death itself.
If not for her father in prison, Sienna would have long fought Adrian to the bitter end. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Adrian had no time to argue with Sienna. Carrying the unconscious, blood-drained Janice, he left.
“Sienna.” Adrian glanced at Sienna before departing, leaving a chilling threat. “I’ll make you regret what you’ve done today.”
Regret?
Sienna had done nothing to regret.
Sienna stared at the ceiling. Her wrists were injured from the restraints, but she was still unresponsive.
She was like a soulless scarecrow, for her every movement was controlled by others.
After Adrian left with Janice, Sienna lay in bed for a long while..
She stayed in bed all day, only the doctor sent by the man came to take care of her.
With no appetite and refusing to eat, Adrian ordered her to be given nutritional IV drips.
Although treated by a highly skilled doctor, Sienna’s recovery was slow, and her body remained weak.
Adrian backed Sienna into a corner, cutting off her escape, while also tightly gripping her life, refusing to let her die easily.
Sienna knew Adrian hadn’t tormented her enough, which was why he kept her alive.
She languished in the room like the living dead, until a week later when Adrian finally reappeared before her.
Adrian was reeking of alcohol, and his eyes were clouded with a haze that wouldn’t dissipate.
He looked down at Sienna on the bed and suddenly reached out, grabbing her throat!
