Chapter 5
But I hadn’t expected Merrick wouldn’t let me go
At two in the morning, someone kicked down my door.
Before I could react, I was yanked from my bed
Merrick’s eyes were bloodshot, his grip almost crushing my shoulder bones. “Lina, what the hell are you doing?
“What are you going crazy about—”
“Crazy?”
He slapped me without hesitation, the burning pain immediate. “Look what you’ve done!‘
I was shoved into the passenger seat, still in my pajamas, as the car raced to the hospital.
The hospital corridor’s pale lights were blinding, nurses walking back and forth, everyone looking at me like I was some kind of
monster.
“Are you satisfied?” Merrick forced me to my knees, his teeth clenched. “When Lillane slit her wrists, she left a suicide note saying you threatened her to die, or you’d expose her and make sure the pup lived a lifetime of disgust and torment.”
His eyes were crimson, his voice nearly torn from his throat. “But she said she didn’t blame you just begged you to treat the child Well ”
My mind exploded with a thunderous crash.
I didn’t do it. “I didn’t… Merrick, I never did any of that.”
“She tried to kill herself and you’re still lying?” He roared, punching the wall, blood sliding down his knuckles. “You’re a poisonous woman. If something happens to her, I’ll make you pay with your life.”
The emergency room’s red light stayed on all night
Jerina pointed at me, her voice shrill with accusations. “This is premeditated murder! We must call the p
police!”
My face was still swollen, lip split, arms bruised from being forcibly dragged, ears ringing from the hitting and cursing
People around nur pointed and whispered, some even filming videos.

[So cold–blooded… this kind of person should be in prison.]
[Ban her! Let her die!]
Everyone
e saw me as the ultimate evil woman.
I was trapped at home–my address exposed, red paint splattered on my door, endless curses and abuse. Some extremists even broke in with knives, wanting to ‘serve justice.‘
I nearly died on the spot only a beta quickly pulling down the security gate saved me.
I called that number with trembling hands, my last shred of dignity forgotten.
“Merrick,” I choked out his name, my voice hoarse. “I almost died.”
The other end was silent for a few seconds, then colder and more heartless than ever before. “That’s the karma you deserve.”
He hung up without hesitation.
I sank to the floor, tears hitting my knees as my phone slid away. He didn’t just not love me he wanted me dead.
