After My Death, My Husband Who Threw Me Into the Hunting Grounds Went Insane novel Chapter 14

Chloe's face went pale as Liam's words sank in, her terror written all over her.

"I was just messing with her! I didn't think anything bad would actually happen!"

"If anyone's to blame, it's Emily for being so unlucky! Please, Liam, just let me out of here!"

She could feel the filthy, murky water sloshing around her, and the leeches crawling up her skin.

"You told me I was younger and prettier than her!"

"Without Emily, we could be so much happier together. Don't you see?"

Liam's patience snapped. He cut her off, his voice cold and sharp.

"Enough! You're nothing like Emily—you could never even compare!"

"I'll make sure you feel every ounce of the pain she went through. A hundred times over."

Chloe froze. His tone left no room for doubt—there would be no escape for her.

Realizing this, she dropped her act and started shouting.

"If it weren't for you leading me on, I wouldn't have done this! I wouldn't have lied about donating a kidney just to get closer to you!"

"You're the one who sent Emily into the hunting ground. You're the one who killed her! At most, I was your accomplice. So why are you blaming me for everything?"

Her voice rose, filled with venom and desperation.

"Liam Bennett, you're nothing but a lunatic! A coward! A murderer!"

Liam didn't reply. He turned on his heel and slammed the basement door shut.

By the time the police stormed into the villa to rescue Chloe, she was barely alive.

When the darkness lifted, I saw Liam standing before me.

"Emily… is it really you?"

His voice trembled, his face worn and haggard. Even his temples had streaks of gray.

"You're just as beautiful as I remember," he whispered.

To my shock, I realized that while I'd only been in heaven for ten minutes, ten years had passed in the mortal world.

The world I once knew was unrecognizable.

Chloe had been trapped in the reservoir for three days and nights. She developed a severe, incurable infection and died miserably in prison.

But Liam hadn't let things rest.
