I scoffed repeatedly. "You're still defending her now, really? Sean, it's over between us!"
Sean's face darkened as he kicked Yelena out.
"Nicki, stop it. I was with her because someone drugged me. She's nothing more than a tool for me to vent my desires. You're the one I truly love."
"You're the only one in my heart, always. I don't blame you for the child. Let's go back to being the loving couple we used to be, alright?"
I couldn't help but laugh at his audacity, but I was no longer interested in arguing with him. After all, the plan to fake my death was finally going to be executed tonight. What harm would it do to let him hold on to a shred of hope?
I wiped away my tears and stopped making a scene. I let Sean pull me into his arms.
The entire afternoon, he acted as if we were newly in love again. He fussed over me and expressed his affection. However, I just looked at him coldly the entire time until his phone buzzed again.
I caught a glimpse of the screen. It was a message from Yelena.
"Babe, the baby misses you. Do you really have to ignore me for so long?"
"Tonight, you can pick the positions."
Sean instinctively turned the phone face down on the table. Five minutes later, he still couldn't hold back. "Nicki, there's an urgent issue at the office. I need to go handle it."
I nodded in silent agreement. "Sean, I would be nothing more than ashes when you returned."
That evening, a team disguised as nurses entered my ward. They placed a life-like mannequin in front of me. It wore clothes similar to mine and styled to look almost identical.
In the dead of night, the flames jumped up instantly and burned the entire ward. Sean had reserved a private room for me. So, there was no risk of hurting anyone else.
I hid in the shadows, watching the fire grow larger. Then, I called the emergency hotline with a husky voice, reporting that someone was trapped in the hospital fire. Once that was done, I quickly left through the emergency exit.
I got into a mysterious car and disappeared without a trace. As we drove away, I caught a glimpse of Sean's car. He seemed to have just left his office.
That man ran a red light and headed straight for the hospital.
I wiped away the last tear from the corner of my eye and silently said goodbye to him in my heart. "Goodbye, Sean. May we never meet again."
