“We’ve brought Dwight here as you asked.”
Gilbert walked over to the van. Inside, Dwight lay slumped in the seat, his body drenched in blood.

The wound in his abdomen had been bleeding relentlessly, and now his heart had been pierced as well. Blood soaked through his clothes, staining them dark.
Dwight’s face was as pale as a ghost, his eyes glazed over. When he saw Gilbert, he whispered weakly, “It’s you?”
“That’s right, it’s me,” Gilbert sneered. “Don’t blame the for this. You brought it on yourself. Just take a good look at who you are. You don’t deserve Halsey. She’s mine and mine alone!”
Dwight managed a bitter smile. “Halsey…won’t…love you.”
Gilbert’s eyes turned cold. “She only loves you because of your looks. If you became some hideous monster, do you think she’d still care about you?“,
At that moment, one of the bodyguards stepped forward and handed Gilbert a small bottle of acid. “Be careful. This acid can’t touch your skin.”
Gilbert took the bottle and unscrewed the cap. Without hesitation, he poured the acid directly on Dwight’s face.
“Argh!” Dwight screamed in agony as the acid burned into his skin turning his face into a grotesque mess of blood and flesh,
Gilbert felt a rush of satisfaction.
Back in school, Dwight had competed with him for the title of the campus heartthrob. Now, Dwight was trying to steal Halsey from him. Who was this lowborn man to think he could rival him? It was laughable!
“Wipe your hands,” the bodyguard said to Gilbert, offering a handkerchief.
Gilbert took it casually and wiped his hands. He glanced at Dwight grinning. “Just relax and die. Don’t worry, Halsey will forget about you. Soon, she’ll be with me. I’ll take good care of her and love her the way you never could.”
Dwight glared at Gilbert with bloodshot eyes. He tried to crawl toward Gilbert, his body wracked with pain.
But he was too weak, his movements slow and sluggish.
Gilbert turned to the bodyguards. “Push the car off the cliff. I want him completely gone, got it?”
The bodyguards nodded. “You can count on us.”
They started the van, closed the doors, and sped toward the cliff. With a loud crash, the van plunged over the edge.
Gilbert tossed the handkerchief to the ground. Finally, Dwight was dead. He was certain that soon enough, Halsey would come to accept him
Back in her room, Halsey was reading when suddenly, a sharp pain pierced her chest.
It felt as though someone were using a knife to carve out her heart. She felt like she was losing something crucial, something she couldn’t live without. The pain of loss hit her all at once, overwhelming her.
Madeline noticed something was wrong and rushed over in alarm. What’s wrong?”
Halsey pressed her hand to her chest, struggling to speak. “I don’t know what’s happening to me… It hurts here, right in my heart.”
“Your heart hurts? #ll go get a doctor!” Madeline moved to leave the room.

Halsey grabbed Madeline’s arm, stopping her. “No, don’t go! Don get a doctor.”
Madeline looked at her in shock. “Why…”
Halsey frowned, confused. “What’s wrong?”
Madeline looked at her in concern. “Why are you crying?”
Had she been crying?
Halsey touched her eyes and felt the wetness. Tears had already blurred her vision, and they kept falling uncontrollably.
