After serving five years in prison, Silvia Winston’s first action upon being released was to make an appointment for a sea burial.

Silvia nodded and took out a plastic bag from her washed–out jeans. She counted the bills and coins she had saved for a long time in prison, and then clumsily paid the down payment.

She was
She still remembered many years ago when she and Zachary Aldrich had made a promise to each other to have their wedding in Flodino, with all the gods of Flodimo as witnesses to their wavering love.
The promise of marriage, which is no longer possible to fulfill now, let her rest in that pure land, it can be considered as a kind of consolation.
The cost of a sea burial was not low. After leaving the instination, in order to pay off the remaining balance, she went to the Cat Club to apply for a job as a
waitress.
She had a criminal record and couldn’t find a decent job. The Cat Club, however, was a notorious high–rolling establishment in Desamura, where waitresses could cam a decent wage.

After being given some instructions by the person who came, she was directly given a uniform and was asked to start working that same evening
After a brief training, she took the wine and entered the nearby VIP box.
The lights in the private room were dim. Many scions and socialites were playing games. She lowered her head and squatted by the coffee table, gently placing the wine bottle back in its place. She was about to turn and leave when the mest familiar cold voice suddenly came from nearby.
Her body stiffened, and she instantly froze in place from a distance!
Sure enough, sitting on the high–end sofa, Zachary was surrounded by a group of people, his cold and stern eyes appearing particularly noble and aloof under the shifting lights
After five years, his appearance hadn’t changed at all, except for a slight air of keeping others at a distance.
She couldn’t help but take a second look, only to notice that he was also embracing another woman, and that woman happened to be her best friend,
Rebecca Deross.
The two of them seemed to be discussing the matter of getting married
“The wedding was held in the seaside church, as you liked, with pink roses spread all over the beach.”
“If you don’t like the wedding dress designed by the previous designer, I will arrange for someone to redo it according to your preferences.”
Silvia listened to that familiar volce, and her thoughts unconsciously drifted back. Five years ago, she was so close to becoming Zachary’s bride.
The two of them were childhood sweethearts and grew up together.
Silvia’s parents passed away unexpectedly, and it was Zachary who accompanied her through those difficult years.
She went to school and he rode a bicycle to take her. When she was bullied, he stood up for her. When she had her first period, he blushed and went to buy sanitary pads for her.
Afterwards, the two of them naturally fell in love and took steps towards entering the realm of marriage. However, on the eve of their wedding, she accidentally hit and killed Zachary’s mother, Elaine Aldrich, while driving.
She could never forget that night, Zachary’s eyes were stained red with blood.

He drove her into a corner like a madman, questioning her relentlessly about why she did it and it she had any
Silvia had never felt so desperate before. She looked up and smiled, saying, “There’s no secret, it was because she saw me sleeping with another man and threatened to tell you. In a fit of anger, I could only drive and run her over.”
She would never forget the look in Zachary’s eyes at that moment,
Anger, hatred, and disappointment intertwined, like an impenetrable web, completely ensnaring her, almost suffocating her.
In the end, Zachary personally sent her to jail.
During her five years in prison, she often reminisced and wondered if she had spoken the truth, would she and Zachary not have ended up the way they
During the five years in peisen, dignity meant nothing to her anymore.
Her vision in front of her became blurry, and she was on the verge of biting her lips until they bled. Finally, in front of everyone, she knelt down with a
Just as she was about to bend down to crawl out from his crotch, the tea talle was violently kicked over, and a chilling and piercing voice rang out.
“it’s enough
Immediately after, her arm suddenly lust, before she could react, she had already been pulled out.
In the dim cerridor, Zachary forcefully pressed her against the wall, his gaze filled wills hatred and coldness.
“Silvia, dal you just nds yourselt like this?”
Her lock touched the cold mable, and she couldn’t help but shoulder all over. Only then did she turn her head slightly and say, “You shouldn’t have stood up for me like that. Do you think Elaine can rest in peace if you do this?”
Her words indeed male him furious, and he forcefully pushed her away. “Stand up? You’re thinking, too much. I brought you out to discuss a deal with
Weren’t you in need of money? Tonight, you will stand guard outside my room and I will give you money. In the following; days, you will stay by my side, and I guarantee that the money I give you will be more than what you earn by accompanying others for drinks.”
Without waiting for her to reluse, he took out a wad of money and fiercely threw it in her face.
Silvia’s face was hit and immediately blood seeped from her chook,
She knew that he made such a
request just to retallate against her.
And he did indeed accomplish it.
That might, she stood outside the door and heard him and Rebecca making love.
