Within seconds, the livestream room had tens of thousands of viewers, and the comments were exploding.
[Girl, don’t do it! The one who should die is him!]
[If you die, you’re just giving that cheating bastard and the homewrecker a chance!]
[Think of your child! He still needs you!]
[Trash man! Hope you get struck by lightning!]
Phones were pointed at my face from every angle. The screaming crowds and the curses online were drowning me.
I had no choice but to try negotiating with Kiera. But no matter what I said, she refused to come down unless I paid her one million and a half.
After half an hour of this nightmare, the police finally arrived, and I almost collapsed in relief.
“Officer, I want to report a crime! She falsely accused me of getting her pregnant and is extorting me for one million and a half! But I’m not even—”
I couldn't even finish saying “a man” because Kiera’s hysterical sobs came from above. “Officer, don’t believe him! I have proof! I secretly did a paternity test!”
The officers tried to coax her down, telling her everything could be sorted out on the ground and they would protect her rights. But she refused. Instead, she threw two sheets of paper from the top.
They fluttered to the ground in front of me, then a heavy sense of dread settled in my stomach.
I asked the officer quietly, “Officer, can she hear what I’m saying from up there? I’m not even speaking loudly. How did she know exactly what I said?”
The crowd looked like they were seconds away from rushing over to beat me up.
“Officer, did you hear that? How can he talk like that? He didn’t believe the girl from the start! She knew he doubted her, so of course, she prepared evidence. Isn’t that normal?”
I tried to explain, but no one listened.
The officer held the report in his hands and slowly unfolded it. A hush fell over everyone, and all eyes locked on the page.
At the same time, a notification popped up on my phone from an unfamiliar number.
[After today, you’re completely finished, Allie. This is my first gift to you.]
Before I had time to process those words, a heavy thud sounded from a distance.
The entire crowd erupted in panic.
“Someone jumped! Someone jumped! Help!”
“That poor girl must’ve died with resentment. She won’t let that bastard go even as a ghost!”
The officer froze. Then he shoved the report into my hands and sprinted toward the commotion without looking back.
