Matthias was so anxious that he could die.
If he knew what happened back then, he would have told Arielle everything in Cindy's place.
Biting her lower lip, Cindy looked at her lover with bloodshot eyes. “You think I don't know how bad things look for us right now? But I just can't do it.”
If I tell Arielle the truth, I'll spend the rest of my life in prison. Even if she decides to let me go, those guys will come knocking. I don't really have a choice here.
Arielle shrugged in response. “I guess you two couldn't come to an agreement, huh? Then I have no choice but to send Cindy back to the pigsty.
“No! Please don't!” Cindy could feel her stomach turning when she remembered how the rats and cockroaches crawled over her face in the sty.
What followed was the sound of Cindy vomiting her guts out.
“Please, Cin. Just tell Arielle what she needs to hear. Staying in prison is a hundred times better than rotting away in this godforsaken place!” begged Matthias, who was already drenched in sweat.
“But...” Cindy knew that her life would be ruined if she was sent to jail.
“Think about it, Cin! Do you really want to spend the rest of your life in the pigsty? Living your life like a pig?”
After a moment of internal conflict, Cindy finally gave in. “I'll do it! I'll tell you everything you want to know. Just don't send me back to that disgusting hole!”
“You have my word. Now start talking,” demanded Arielle after pulling up a chair.
