On the day Clinton left the hospital, he saw Gemma arm–in–arm with another man during a pregnancy checkup.
Rage consumed him, and he stormed up to yank her hair.

Clinton tried to get up, but his weakened state left him defenseless.
Gemma sneered down at him with contempt and hugged the man. “He’s the loser I told you about. He was so desperate to please me that he even ditched his daughter to take me to a soccer match. Can you believe that?

Clinton couldn’t handle such an insult. That very night, he sneaked into Gemma’s home and strangled her to death with a rope.
“I’ve lost everything because of you. You don’t get to live your life or have a child. You will spend every lifetime paying for my daughter’s death.”
Afterward, Clinton went to Ivy’s grave.
“Sweetheart, Daddy’s here to be with you. Mommy won’t forgive me, so this is the only way I can atone for my sin. In the next life, we’ll still be a family, alright? I promise I’ll love you with all my heart.”
The coldness enveloped him, and he wondered if this was what death felt like.

He thought my clear eyes were so captivating, and he couldn’t stop wanting to get closer to me.
