I’ll give you three minutes to cough up Ophelia’s ashes right now!”
Dominic had completely changed into a brand new person over the past two years. He was used to being brutal and decisive when it came to business dealings, which allowed him to develop an intimidating air over time.
The employee could only slump against the wall helplessly. Still, a trace of mockery flashed across his eyes.
“Sorry, Mr. Sharp. We really don’t have Ms. Burton’s ashes. I gave you all of her ashes back then. You were the one who dropped the urn and scattered her ashes. If you keep causing trouble here, we have no choice but to call the police.”
Dominic was stunned. It was as though he finally accepted the fact that he was the one who scattered my ashes. He lowered his hands dejectedly before stumbling out of the crematorium with his tail between his legs.
I could only shoot the poor employee an apologetic look. Then, my soul began following Dominic autonomously.
It was an extremely dark night tonight. Dominic’s face was already shrouded by the
darkness.
Ever since he left the crematorium, he didn’t speak a word. The car was deathly silent the whole time. I knew that he couldn’t see me, and yet I couldn’t help but feel nervous and on
edge.
Once Dominic killed the engine, he leaned against his seat while staring at the dark window. He sat in the car throughout the night. Of course, he kept staring at the window the entire night too.
Soon, the sky started becoming brighter. Dominic didn’t sleep a wink at all, so there were dark circles under his eyes. His eyes were starting to become bloodshot too.

I caressed his face out of astonishment, soon realizing that there were tear tracks on his
cheeks.
Dominic had cried, and yet I didn’t realize that happened.
The moment I touched his face, I felt as though my fingertips were scalded by hot water, causing me to retract my hand immediately. But my hand began trembling violently.
Suddenly, I grinned sardonically. I supposed that Dominic could easily cry out of happiness because he realized that his mortal enemy was truly dead.
Today was Mdm. Miranda’s death anniversary. Two years ago, Dominic had dragged me into the car furiously on this very day. He had also made me kneel before her grave for 24 hours.
That wasn’t enough. I needed to apologize to her the whole time too.

Once it was over, I couldn’t even stand up. My knees were all chafed and bloodied.
But Dominic was very happy to see me suffer. He told me I deserved this. He even said that I was doomed to roam in purgatory and that I would never be able to rest in peace.
Well, he was right. After I died, I couldn’t even go to hell.
This year, Dominic and Isabelle were the only ones visiting Mdm. Miranda’s grave. When I saw Isabelle, I’d always tremble uncontrollably
Although she was the one who killed Mdm. Miranda, Dominic still patiently brushed away some of her locks which were messed up by the wind.
At the moment, Isabelle was kneeling before Mdm. Miranda’s grave while looking sorrowful.
“Mom, Dominic and I are here to visit you. By the way, Ophelia is dead. You’ll be able to rest in peace now.
