Chapter 2: Chapter 2
"Ugh...ugh..." Time dragged on, and Sienna felt a heaviness in her chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Her struggles became weaker and weaker, and Adrian's cold smile etched into her mind.
"Sienna, you deserve to die. You've managed to hang on for three years, and that's long enough. Tell me where Janice is, and I'll let you die quickly."
Looking at his demonic face, she couldn't help but remember the light of her life when Adrian was so gentle.
The memory of them playing the piano together gradually blurred, and it was replaced by countless days and nights of torture over the past three years.
Pain that seeped into her bones.
"Cough, cough!" There was another mouthful of blood. Feeling the ebbing of her life, Sienna mustered a self-mocking smile, no longer struggling.
With her last ounce of strength, her lips quivered. "Won't you believe me, just once?"
Adrian hesitated. His heart was momentarily pierced by her powerless smile and then replaced by indifference. "My patience has limits. Tell me where Janice is."
"Don't think that dying will be the end of it all. If you don't want your imprisoned father to be executed prematurely, or if you don't want something to happen to your mother in the mental hospital, you'd better think it through."
Janice... Janice...
Sienna's eardrums bled. The buzzing noise grew louder, and her heart clenched tightly.
Sienna was resentful. She hated herself for ruining the McKinney family and hated the biased Adrian.
Adrian's unrelenting crush was the one who truly abandoned him three years ago!
In the end, darkness enveloped Sienna. She tried to say something but no longer had the strength. The next moment, her body sank like a lifeless corpse.
Seeing this, Adrian's eyes darkened, and his breath hitched.
"Damn!" He slammed his fist on the glass tank, roaring, "Sienna! You wicked woman, are you not going to tell me where Janice is, even in death?"
Sienna didn't respond and kept sinking downward.
Adrian, momentarily dazed, instinctively wanted to smash the glass. The sight of Sienna inside falling incessantly was particularly glaring.
"Damn it!"
Muttering a curse, Adrian was about to stand up when a sudden shout rang out.
"Mr. Olson! Ms. Potter has been found!"
Adrian's head snapped around, and the petite figure at the entrance of the rooftop shook him to the core.
"Janice!"
Adrian called out urgently, and his thoughts was instantly pulled away.
Janice's body was soaked in blood, her hair disheveled, and her expression distraught. The moment she saw Adrian, it seemed like she saw light.
"Adrian!"
Adrian abandoned the seemingly lifeless Sienna and rushed toward Janice. He then tightly embraced Janice.
"Adrian, I finally see you. Sienna is so scary. Those men are so scary. I... I've been tortured so badly, I thought I'd never see you again..."
As Janice spoke, her body went limp, and she fell silent.
While Adrian was only focused on Janice in his arms, Sienna had sunk to the bottom of the glass tank.
"Do you want to die like this? I'm telling you. It's not happening!"
"Sienna! Wake up!"
The sound was cold.
Swallowed by the tide, Sienna's mind flashed back to the beautiful moment she first met Adrian fifteen years ago. It was brief and quickly extinguished.
"Sienna, you want to die? Not a chance!"
Adrian's familiar roar exploded in her ears once more, and the pain of her hair being yanked brought her back to reality. Sienna opened her eyes suddenly, sweat streaming down her face.
In the darkness, she met Adrian's dark purple eyes. They were terrifying!
Sienna's heart trembled.
