"I gave everything you asked of me! I gave you all my fortune, the prestige you dreamed of having, my love, and my whole life! I gave everything to you! How can you do this to me?!" Rhianne Cartel shouted at the man standing in front of her in despair. "I... I even sacrificed my relationship with my family just to make a stepping stone for you to succeed! Andrew, you're heartless!"
Andrew, the man in a black suit standing in front of the weeping woman was looking at her with a cold look in his eyes. He's looking at Rhianne as if he was seeing a nasty pest lingering in his sight.
"After all the things I did for you, this is how you are going to pay me? Andrew, I love you with all my heart! How can you be so heartless and brutal like this to me?!"
This woman was once a beauty that every man loves to have by their side. Her long, silky hair was now too short and looked like a bunch of shaggy fur of a boar. Her fair jade-like skin was now full of ugly scars and bruises. Her caramel-colored eyes that can stir the hearts of every man had become like those of a rotten fish in the trash.
Rhianne felt bitter, betrayed, lost, and hurt. She only wanted to be loved by this man.
Rhianne once dreamed of having a happy and peaceful life with the man who loves her as much as she loves him. She thought she finally saw the man of her dreams in Andrew. He showed her compassion and love which moved her feelings. But who would have thought that it was just an illusion made to make her fall into deep despair? Andrew only used her to get everything he desired. Money, fame, and prestige. Andrew accomplished all of the things he desired. And it was all thanks to a foolish puppet he obtained named Rhianne Cartel.
"You're disgusting," Andrew said as he kicked the woman away from him. "Your presence is just making me sick."
Rhianne whimpered in pain, but she ignored it as she tried to stand up again and stare at Andrew. She truly regrets it all. If she had not fallen for his lies, maybe Rhianne would still be living happily up until now. If only she had not forced her family to accept Andrew, maybe her parents would still be alive and her brother would not be in jail. If only she had not blindly followed this man, maybe she is now truly living full of peace and happiness just like what she once dreamed of having.
If only she did not love this monster...
Maybe she is still living her life in peace. Maybe she is still the precious daughter of her parents and the beloved little sister of her brother. She would never have been in any kind of situation like this if only she had not met this monster in human skin in front of her. Maybe she is not in despair and living a life where those people who are truly over her are surrounding her.
She is regretting all of it. How she wishes she could turn back the time and fix all of her mistakes.
If she can only return back in time, Rhianne will never choose him again. She despises his whole existence. He ruined her. He destroyed her life! She put her bony hand inside her pocket to get the pocket knife she brought with her today. Andrew deserves to die! A monster like him does not deserve to live! She runs towards Andrew fast with the idea of killing this monster in her mind. But the reality is really disappointing her.
Andrew grabbed Rhianne's free hand and twisted it on her back. Before Rhianne could react, she felt something that stabbed her abdomen. She lowered her eyes only to see Andrew holding her hand that holds the knife. He gave much force from his hand to stab the knife deeper into her abdomen before he let go of her.
Rhianne staggered in her step before dropping to the floor with a thud. Her warm blood kept on flowing from her open wound. Her breathing was getting harder every second that passed. Andrew kneeled his one knee in front of her just to give her a sneer.
"Let me tell you something. There is one more thing I benefitted from when I met you." Andrew said. His eyes are almost twinkling while saying these words to her. He did not wait for Rhianne's response and continued to talk. "It is when you introduce Donna to me.
That woman is different from you. She is the one I truly want, not some foolish and dumb woman like you. So please, you should die now and give us a happy future."
'After all the things that I had given to you? You will still choose another woman?!'
How foolish. Rhianne chose this monster over her loved ones. Why did she become so blind in the past? Why?!
"I will not try to ask for your blessings. Anyway, it is still thanks to you that I finally get what I want." Andrew said with a smile.
Then Andrew stood up and removed the dust from his black suit. He walked towards the door and closed it without turning his head to look at her dying figure. Rhianne was left inside the room alone. Rhianne knows that she is near death's door. She lost literally everything. No one is now standing at her side. This may be the punishment for being a foolish woman.
'This is the end of my life. After my long existence, only hatred, despair, and bitterness is what I only gained in this life.' This is what Rhianne thought before her consciousness completely disappeared.
'I regret it. All of it. How I wish that I... I...'
Before she can finish her thoughts, Rhianne finally closes her tear-stained eyes.
