Reclaiming Her Heart

In Tessa's eyes burned a hatred that cut to the bone as she approached with the long knife in her hand.

Standing beside Selena, she screamed, "Die! No one will destroy my life! No one!"

Selena felt a rush of air and braced herself for pain, but it never came. Instead, something warm and wet splashed across her face-blood, with its unmistakable metallic scent. Torrents of it.

Above her, Wind's throat had been pierced by Tessa's knife. Blood poured through the wound, raining down on Selena.

Wind stared at Tessa in disbelief.

Terrified by what she'd done, Tessa released the knife and stumbled backward, her face ashen. This was her first time killing someone with her own hands. Previously, she had always ordered Wind to eliminate her enemies, but now Wind himself was the target.

She had planned this carefully. Wind knew too much. She trusted no one but herself. Only with his death could she protect her identity as a daughter of the Smith family.

The bloody scene horrified her. Her entire body trembled, especially as Wind's lifeless eyes continued to stare at her accusingly. She let out a piercing scream.

Selena, still disoriented, only knew that the grip restraining her had suddenly loosened

as Wind collapsed at her feet. Sitting on the edge of the bed, the metallic smell of blood filled her nostrils.

Before she could ask what happened, another scream cut through the air, "Selena, what are you doing? Don't kill me! Please don't kill me!"

Tessa was genuinely terrified now, with several drops of blood-splatter from when she had stabbed Wind-dotting her cheeks. Her legs gave way as she crawled toward the door, crying, "Help! Help!"

Still trying to understand the situation, Selena felt someone lying beside her. She crouched down and touched a knife. The reality of what had happened dawned on her, and her eyes turned cold.

She had thought Tessa was a rose, but she turned out to be a venomous trap. Wind had been Tessa's loyal sword for years, yet she had deliberately manipulated and killed him. And now, it seemed, she planned to frame Selena for the murder.

Selena almost wanted to applaud her cunning. To outsiders, Tessa and Wind's close relationship made it impossible to believe she would harm him-leaving Selena as the obvious suspect.

The bodyguards from downstairs rushed in, opening the door to the overwhelming smell of blood. At the doorway cowered a trembling Tessa, while by the bed crouched a disturbingly calm Selena.

To anyone watching, it appeared that Selena had killed Wind and was now targeting Tessa.

The two bodyguards quickly helped Tessa up, shielding her behind them.

"Ms. Fair, what are you trying to do?" one of the bodyguards asked.

Blood covered Selena's clothes. Disgusted by the smell, she felt her way toward the bathroom, wanting to clean herself. But her movement triggered another scream from Tessa, "Help! She's trying to kill me! I need to call Lawrence!"

The bodyguards, aware of Tessa's status, made a swift decision. They closed and locked the door, escorting Tessa downstairs to the main hall.noveldrama

Tessa immediately pulled out her phone and called Lawrence through tears.

"Lawrence, Wind is dead. Selena killed him. I'm so scared, I'm so scared, I..." she said,

her voice trembling with each word, barely able to steady herself as her breath caught in her throat.

Lawrence stood up the moment he received the call. "Tessa, where are you?"

After Tessa quickly shared her location, she reached for her heart medication and took

it.

On his way, Lawrence also called Christopher's alter personality.

The two men arrived almost simultaneously.

Christopher's alter wore an expression of pure rage, refusing to believe that the blind Selena would deliberately kill anyone especially Wind, a trained assassin who should have been on guard.

With these doubts, he quickly returned to his residence.

Lawrence arrived at the same moment.

Lawrence gave him a penetrating look before rushing inside. When he saw Tessa curled

up on the sofa, trembling and crying, he felt his heart constrict.

Since arriving in Silver Bay City, Tessa had endured nothing but suffering.
