She had always been afraid of water, but because Mitchel loved swimming, she had pushed herself to learn. However, as she fell into the water, she forgot to struggle. Her mind was overwhelmed with the image of her fiancé and another woman in a sweet embrace.
Her heart felt like it was breaking and she struggled to breathe. Desperately, she opened her mouth to cry out, but the water choked her and she couldn’t make a sound.
‘Help, Mitchel, save me!’ She pleaded in her mind, but the words refused to leave her lips.
As her consciousness began to fade, a final thought consumed her. ‘I will never love you again. I will let you go.’
After being rescued by the staff, she immediately decided to break off the engagement.
"Alright, Livia, you've grown some guts!"
Suddenly, she jolted awake, her eyes snapping open.
She looked down and saw herself completely naked, her body covered in ice cubes, while Mitchel was staring at her intently.
"Mitchel, I'll let you be with Malva... From now on, let's never see each other again!" Livia said.
Not sure which words triggered Mitchel, but he tightly gripped her neck, his deep eyes filled with anger. "Do you even know what you're saying? I only consider her as a sister and insulting her means insulting both of us!"
Even with her body covered in ice, the heart-wrenching pain refused to subside.
The places where the glass had pierced her skin throbbed, as if countless tiny insects were gnawing at her body.
As Mitchel’s grip on her neck tightened, the suffocating sensation creeped back. She opened her mouth to speak, but blood spilled out instead.
As the blood covered Mitchel's hands, he immediately panicked, "What's going on? Didn't you say you were pretending to be sick?"
Livia forced a smile, her lips trembling.
However, this attitude seemed like a provocation to Mitchel.
After loosening his long, bony fingers for a while, he tightened his grip again on her chin. "What do you mean by never seeing each other again? You love me so much. How can you live without me?"
Livia tilted her head slightly, but her body was too weak to respond.
