Five fingers, six electrocutions, 5 toes and removal of 3 toenails later.
Wu Ziliang was still alive and breathing, her breaths slow and shallow, as she stared at the demoness in front of her.
Oh, how she regretted everything. She regretted loving Wang Huo, she regretted killing his wife, poisoning Old Man Wang and shooting Jiang Yue.
If only she could turn back the time... She would have avoided Wang Huo the first moment that she saw him.
Wu Ziliang racked her memories, trying to recollect her memories of her first meeting with Wang Huo.
They were at the same university. He was in business management while she...
Right now, she could not even remember what course was she learning at that time.
Was it medicine? Right, she wanted to become a doctor.
Wu Ziliang grew up smart but insecure.
As for her sister, Wu Mingying, she was someone who didn't even have a proper maternal family.
Someone below her.
Yet Wu Mingying always excelled in everything.
Be it the arts or sciences. She was always on the top.
While she, the first daughter of the Wu Family, the legal first miss was always standing in the shadow of Wu Mingying
Always like a shadow.
Sometimes, Wu Ziliang would ask herself why Wang Huo choose her sister over her. She, Wu Ziliang, was more beautiful and more influential than her.
So why Mingying? Why not her?
Was it just because she had been Mingying's shadow?
Wu Ziliang once again let out a muffled scream, when Jiang Yue ordered the man to shove another needle in her finger.
She just couldn't take it anymore. The pain was enough to wish for Jiang Yue just kill her instantly
To save her and ease her pain.
"Giving up already?"
Jiang Yue must have noticed Wu Ziliang's pitiful expression. That's why she asked that question.
"Don't worry Miss Wu. I am not that ruthless. I will give you an easy death... but only after we finish this."
"However, let me tell you something before you die." Jiang Yue said. "Loving someone is not wrong. It will never be wrong.But what made your actions wrong was not your love. It was rather your selfishness, making you take the wrong path to fulfill your desires."
"You have killed my uncle's wife because of your twisted ideas. You thought that without her, my uncle would love you."
"Let me ask you, Miss Wu. Did you think my uncle would have been happy after his wife's death? Did you think you could replace someone just by copying their face?"
"Did you think my uncle will love you just because you look a little like his dead wife?"
"If you did then... you didn't really know the man that you love. Think about it! Did you even love him the first time you met?"
"Or did you just wanted to own him? Make him yours? Make yourself be above all the women who liked him?"
"Miss Wu. You never loved my uncle. You just had seen him as something you needed to have. An object. So when he had got together with my aunt, your thoughts become twisted. You became obsessed."
"I pity you, Miss Wu. I hope that in the next lifetime you would really get to know what true love is..." She said while shaking her head.
At that point, Wu Ziliang was just staring blankly at Jiang Yue, waiting for the end of her agony.
True love? Does it even exist? Yet, she always believed that her feelings for Wang Huo were real.
Now that she heard Jiang Yue's words, Wu Ziliang couldn't help but realize something.
Jiang Yue was right and wrong at the same time.
She fell in love with Wang Huo the moment her eyes landed on him during a basketball game.
But she never approached him. She never let him know about her feelings.
However, everything changed when she got the news that her sister was going to marry Wang Huo.
Jiang Yue was right. She became obsessed. She wanted what her sister had.
Just then she saw Jiang Yue opening something that seemed like a vial.
"Venom." She heard her say.
"Since you like poisons so much... I think you would be happy to die from one." Jiang Yue elaborated. "Boomslang, that's the name of the snake that produced this venom"
"Pretty lethal. Scary, isn't it? Terrifying… that's the only thing that I can use to describe it."
"This venom will destroy all your red blood cells, reduce your blood clotting rate, and cause your organs and tissue to degenerate. Of course, there are also other milder symptoms that you will go through like headache, sleepiness and such." Wu Ziliang watched as Jiang Yue walked towards her, asking someone to remove the gag from her mouth so that she could put the venom in.
"Hours from now, blood will start seeping out from every possible exit, nostrils, eyes, gums, ears and from the tiniest cuts that you have. Then you will die from massive internal bleeding and brain hemorrhage."
Wu Ziliang just stared at her, unable to utter even a single word. This was her end.
And maybe she deserved it.
She deserved dying a horrible death for killing her own sister and maybe her own father.
Tears slowly made their way towards her pale cheeks as she stared at Jiang Yue, giving her a smile. "Thank you."
Thank you, for making her realize her mistakes.
Thank you, for setting her free.
Yes. Wu Ziliang was finally free.
