Marrying the Killer of my Girlfriend
OLDMAN

That heavy hand still curls my neck from behind.

I tried to escape but there was nothing I could do but to stay in my place.

The person behind me is so strong, I can't move.

I couldn't even reach my phone which was still in recording mode in my pants pocket, to send to Gery and Anna.

At the same time, Celine's herd is heard to end their secret conversation and rush out of the library to check what is wrong with the security of this house.

Finish me.

In a few seconds, Celine will see me here.

It's been ruined that I've been working on with Josh Rainer and Gery for a few days.

If I had gone straight to Josh Rainer's room, this arrest wouldn't have happened.

If only I had prioritized Josh Rainer in the first place, we might still have survived.

Is this all fate?

Can't I feel happy again after losing half my life?

If so, life is never fair.

For Dio, for me and for Josh Rainer.

Especially for you Josh.

I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise.

I have closed my eyes and resigned myself to what will happen after.

Am I going to be executed by one of Celine's herds?

Or would they still kill Josh Rainer and set up as if I were the killer?

Whatever happens after, these two choices are equally devastating to me.

If I could choose, I might just die.

That way I can rejoin Dio, right?

Yeah, I'm better prepared to die than to spend decades in prison for a mistake I never even intended.

When I was resigned to this situation, the sound of footsteps drew closer to the library door I was walking on.

In a moment, I'll be done.

Good bye everyone.

..

May my father and mother remain healthy no matter what my destiny may be.

May Gery and Anna be granted happiness and kept away from wretchedness as I have.

And hopefully, I can soon meet and walk side by side again with Dio in the world there.

And hopefully Josh Rainer….

I couldn't find the right words for my wish for Josh Rainer.

Inexplicably, suddenly Josh Rainer's face filled my mind.

When he pretended to be asleep..

When he caressed my face and muttered my name in my face…

When his face turned red, he asked about Gery..

When she looks very peaceful doing yoga without her top dress..

When he asked me not to go…

Wh why?

“You stay with me right?”

The question of Josh Rainer asking me to stay now resonates in my brain.

When I was almost done with world affairs, why did the shadow of Josh Rainer come to my mind?

“Selena.”

Soft sounds..

Sturdy body..

His face was cold but handsome..

Everything now doesn't just fill my mind space.

But now he's enveloping my body.

Josh's?

Are you encouraging me to stay alive?

“Selena, don't go.”

Again the recording of our conversation reappeared in my mind.

…

Joshs.

I'm not going away from you.

We'll be together.

We'll keep living.

Out of nowhere that belief came from, I now feel perfectly capable of finding a way out of here.

Think, Selena. You are usually very expert in finding your way in the moment of the stroke.

All I thought about was one, kicking the man's belly and thigh area from behind until he let me go.      

However, suddenly my heart seemed to want to be dislodged from its sockets.

Celine and her comrade sounded like they were stopping their steps and sounding away from the door.

I don't know what's stopping them, but this is a good opportunity for me.

“Mama, I got word from the villa keeper that Selena hasn't been out of the cemetery since. No need to worry,” says Becca.

Celine sounded like she didn't reply to anything.

They stopped because of the information from the guards of this villa?

They sounded like they were sitting in a reading room.

Thank goodness there was a little breath for me.

Celine doesn't know that I've been here since.

The only problem left at this moment was how I got away from this burly man.

Wait for.

Something is strange.

If he really wanted to feed me to Celine, why didn't he just use me to enter the library?

Why is he still standing behind me and telling me this?

My brain was still rattling as the person loosened his or her pitting around my neck.

I had the intention to punch her in the stomach and thighs immediately, but I still doubt that it would even get me caught by Celine and her flock inside.

I choose silence.

The burly man now turned my body towards him.

Now we stand facing each other.

We stood so close that I could smell the perfume from her body.

For some reason, the smell of this perfume reminds me of the scent of Dio.

I then looked at her face fixedly, hoping that it was indeed my lover who had been buried in the ground.

But of course he is not Dio.

What I see now is a foreign man who is showing me his big smile.

I tried to observe him but somehow this time his face and stature actually reminded me of Josh Rainer.

The only difference is that the man's skin is brownish, while Josh is white, the size of an Asian. His jaw was very firm and sharper than Josh's, making this guy seem even more unfriendly. Both nosed, but this man has a more thin face.

And it turns out, this guy isn't as strong as I thought he was. His posture is similar to that of Josh Rainer, but may be a few centimeters shorter. However, he was a fitness guy, visible from the biceps muscles on his arm that were perfectly printed. That's what made him so strong when he was telling me earlier.

Who her?

And why is he still silent, smiling in front of me and not kicking me in front of Celine right now?

While I was still guessing at this man's motives, he brought his face closer to me.

What am I supposed to do?

It was like watching my eyes, my nose, my cheeks and my lips at a very close distance. I was really trembling at this moment, afraid that he would do something indecent to me.

Then his hand reached for my face. He twisted my hair behind my ears before bringing his lips back to my ears.

“Don't tell me you forgot me?” whispered.

Then, he walked away from me and rubbed my head.

Does he know me?

I feel like I've never met this guy before. And he seemed to catch my confusion from my expression.

“Selena, I've been waiting all this time to see you again. And you forgot me just like that?” he whispered in front of the library door.

Is he a lunatic?

I really don't remember knowing who he was.

“Sorry, but I'm in a hurry,” I said as I tried to take his grip off me. But he held me back.

“You're not afraid I'll scream that you've been eavesdropping here?” he smiled, still whispering.

Oh naw.

This guy turns out to be Celine's herd.

“Why didn't you do from earlier?” I get upset trying to find a way to run.

However, I failed. He stopped me again.

He now folded his hands together while smiling at me.

“It's clear, right? I want to help you let us break even,” he said.

The impact?

Have I met this guy in the past?

Did I ever help him?

Because I really don't remember anything about a Josh Rainer-like person I've met in my life.

However, it is very good that he is on my side and wants to help me.

“Good, let go of me now that I have to hurry,” whispered me around and tried to get away from her.

When I tried to run to Josh Rainer's room, he pulled my hand back.

“Listen to me carefully,” the door while holding me back.

I really don't understand what this guy's motives are and who he really is, but if he slows down the plan to get Josh Rainer out, I won't stay silent.

“Can you let me go now, please? With you releasing me, you've helped me,” beg me to him.

He was still smiling on top of his haughty face print.

“Selena I know is a very brave, smart and good taekwondo guy. I'm disappointed you didn't pull out your taekwondom style to attack me earlier,” he said still holding my hand tightly.

A taekwondo?

Yeah, I used to follow taekwondo extracurriculars while I was in elementary school with Gery.

Was he my schoolmate?

I'm really not sure because I almost knew all my school friends through the regular reunions we often do.

So who is this guy?

“I beg you, I just left dead a very important person to me and if you don't let me go now maybe I will die!” I still whispered but in a firm tone.

He still responded casually and came back to my face.

Now her lips have landed thinly in my ears.

Then he replied to my request with words that gave me goosebumps.

“I won't let you die Selena. Because you're going to marry me.”
