Chapter 100

Chapter 100

There were seven photos, each featuring a girl. The first four were her and Neil, under cherry blossom trees, on lover’s bridge, and with a Ferris wheel They were wearing matching outfits and grinning like they had won the lottery. The next two were a stark contrast, filled with sorrow She was crying in a selfie, and her wrist was stained with blood. The last one was the worst. It was a corpse, presumably drowned. Soaked to the bone and tangled in seaweed, her skin was pale and bloated

Neil’s grandpa was seriously ill, and wanting to see Neil get married, they set out to find a suitable match. They thought I was a good fit. When I learned I was to marry Neil, I didn’t hesitate to say yes, which only fueled the Whitmore family’s opposition to Karina

“Why didn’t you tell me then?” I asked.
