"How dare you, Matthew! You have no right to stop me from making my own decisions. Don't blackmail me. You're the one who should be held accountable for committing adultery!" I yelled.
I was startled when he suddenly grabbed my arm. "Don't waste your time, Lorelei. My father is the mayor, and do you really think he'll let me go to jail?!"
His action hurt, so I pulled my arm away. "You're no different from your abusive father!"
After I said that, I received a hard slap. I was shocked and touched my stinging cheek.
"Say that again, and you'll regret ever crossing me!"
At that moment, I saw a furious glint in Matthew's eyes, and I never expected he harbored such a dark side. I must have been blind for years, clouded by rose-tinted glasses.
"Matthew, if I had known from the start that you would treat me like this, I wouldn't have married you. That’s my biggest regret!" I dictated, my voice steady despite the fear creeping in.
He merely smirked, "It's too late now, Lorelei. You can't escape me, you belong to me!"
Before I could react, he suddenly grabbed me and dragged me toward the bed, forcing me to comply with his demands.
“Let me go, Matthew!”
I struggled to break free, but he was too strong, pinning me down on the bed. With a swift motion, he tore off my shirt, exposing my chest to the cold air.
"Lorelei, you’re mine, and only death can separate us."
As he leaned in to kiss me, a surge of desperation ignited within me. I grabbed the lamp beside me and swung it at him, the ceramic crashing against his head.
He toppled to the floor, and for an agonizing moment, I held my breath, watching in horror as he lay still, blood pooling on the ground beneath him.
Panic washed over me, and dread gripped my heart. What had I done?
"Matthew..." I tried to wake him, but he didn't move at all.
Suddenly, the door burst open and Kourtney rushed in, her eyes widening in shock as she took in the scene before her.
"Oh my god! Why did you kill him?!" she exclaimed.
