To help Sebastian, I risked my life to drag him away, never leaving his side until we were both captured again and suffered greatly.

My parents called the police immediately.

After being rescued, Sebastian and I were taken to the hospital for treatment.

At that time, to stabilize the company and for my reputation, my parents did not announce that I had been kidnapped and asked Sebastian and me not to mention it again.

I always thought he knew I had saved him, but when he woke up and saw Selena by his bedside, he believed it was her!

Selena's eyes flickered with evasion for a moment, then returned to normal.

"Sebastian, no matter how Lyra treats me, I can't bear to see her suffer. You should call her."

After speaking, Selena took the initiative to call me by video.

Soon, the call was connected, and my face appeared on the screen.

I was puzzled. I was already dead, so why would I appear on the video call?

I soon realized that this was another pre-recorded video.

During my detention, Selena came in with a camera and forced me to record these videos.

I refused and could only watch helplessly as she brandished various torture devices under my horrified gaze.

Terrified, I screamed in pain and curled up in a ball, yet still unwilling to submit.

Blood pooled on the ground, a heart-wrenching sight. "Selena, I will avenge you if I ever get out!"

Selena was furious. "Get out? You will never escape in this life!"

The torture intensified, and the sharp pain struck my very soul.

It hurt. It hurt so much.

I would never be able to recall that unbearable, convulsing, mind-numbing agony in this life.

I used to cry at the slightest pain from a mosquito bite, and when I had a nightmare, my whole family would gather around to comfort me!

"Lyra, your mother is still in hospital. If you don't comply, I'll have them remove her ventilator."

Selena's once innocent face was like that of a demon at that moment.

Thinking of my mom, I get scared.

I could endure all the inhuman torture, but my mom couldn't!

In the end, I could only give in.

I cried and did everything Selena asked until she was satisfied and took the camera away, leaving me in tatters.

And those videos and audio recordings I had made before my death were what Sebastian had seen and heard of "me" these days.

"Lyra, if you apologize to Selena, I will let you go," Sebastian said coldly, looking at "me" on the screen.
