A bone-chilling coldness radiated from Samuel's ebony eyes.
The corner of his thin lips stretched into a faint smile. “Hello, Kathleen.”
“Are you faking it?” Kathleen questioned, her brows furrowed.
As he approached her, Samuel scoffed, his gaze hard. “What can I do to convince you that I'm not faking it?”
Upon hearing his words, Kathleen merely pursed her scarlet lips and changed the subject. “Where is
Nicolette?” “I killed her,” Samuel stated flatly, his tone icy.
“What?” Kathleen was at a loss for words. She paused for a moment before saying, “Bring me to see her body then.”
“Are you sure?” Samuel inquired, a menacing smile on his face. “I'm afraid that seeing it will give you nightmares.”
“What kind of cruel method did you use to kill her?” Kathleen questioned with a frown. “Listen, I don't care who you are. Just know that I won't allow
Samuel to end up in jail! Bring me to Nicolette. Now!”
With an intriguing glare in his eyes, Samuel pinched her chin. “Are you trying to hide my identity from the police by destroying the crime scene?”
“Or, I'll take the blame for you,” Kathleen retorted coldly.
Samuel froze. This woman is really something else.
“Follow me,” he eventually said before leading her upstairs.
Kathleen followed him without any
other words.
She could hear Nicolette's faint cries upon reaching the second floor.
“I'm going to kill you, Samuel! W-Why did you do this to me? I loved you so much,” Nicolette wailed.
Kathleen was soon able to pinpoint the source of the voice. It came from a room.
She entered the room without a second thought.
The scene that greeted her was that of Nicolette sprawling on the cold ground. The woman's hair was a mess, looking as if she had just stepped out of a horror film.
Nicolette raised her head when she noticed a pair of women's boots in her line of sight.
“You b*tch!” she snarled, glaring resentfully at Kathleen.
Kathleen, however, met her gaze with a poker face.
Samuel emerged from Kathleen's side and stepped on the back of Nicolette’s palm.
Nicolette let out a blood-curdling scream.
Samuel's handsome face wore a hostile expression as he asked, “Would you like me to break your hands as well?”
With a vigorous shake of her head, Nicolette pleaded, “I was wrong. Please, let me go. Isn't it enough that I've become like this? Stop torturing me. I beg you.”
“Let you go?” Samuel sneered. “In your wildest dreams! I would never let you go. In fact, I'm planning on taking my sweet time to torture you.”
Kathleen walked up to Samuel and pulled him away.
“What are you planning to do?” she asked, her brows pulled in a deep frown. “What can I do to get rid of you? How can I get the real Samuel back?”
“I don't get what you're saying,” Samuel replied, his eyes gleaming with mockery. “I am Samuel.”
“Samuel won't be as rash as you are,” Kathleen stated calmly. “So what if you manage to take revenge?
Everything will be for naught because of your involvement. Think about it; there are plenty of ways to deal with people like Nicolette.”
In return, Samuel sniggered. “How could you possibly understand his anguish? I was formed solely due to his undying affection for you. He has made numerous attempts to reach you ever since you disappeared. Yet, it was to no avail. Then, he became insane. He eventually lost his mind. I understand his pain. Therefore, I assisted him in breaking this woman's legs and harming himself. I could destroy myself together with him. Can you do the same?”
“What the heck are you talking about?” Kathleen asked incredulously. “You were the one who encouraged him to harm himself?”
Samuel gave her a cold grin as he answered, “He was in too much pain. I was merely helping him solve his problem.”
Instantly, Kathleen grabbed a fistful of his collar as she spat, “How could you?”
Staring her down, Samuel replied, “I can do whatever I want. This body is now under my control. Get it?”
“Return him to me!” Kathleen mustered all her strength and shook Samuel. Tears streamed from her eyes as she repeated, “Return him to me!”
Samuel grabbed her wrist as he glared at her. “I could destroy the things that you no longer want.”
Kathleen felt a fuse blow in her head. What?
“Samuel’s a living person!” she fumed.
