The year Liam and I hated each other the most was the year he tortured and killed the dog I had raised for ten years, just to please his little secretary. In retaliation, I stabbed the secretary five times. I watched her scream and lose her mind like it was a work of art. Everyone thought Liam would take my life. Instead, he just threw divorce papers at me and said coldly: "You're nothing but a dog the Miller family raised. If you want to be crazy, get out." After that night, I disappeared. Until five years later, when I attended a gala in my father's place and saw Liam's secretary again. She poured red wine on me. "I was wondering who this was. Turns out it's the dog the Millers threw away." I grabbed a bottle of champagne and smashed it over her head. "Five years didn't teach you how to be human. Today, I will." 1 Sarah's screams echoed through the hall. Her entourage immediately swarmed in front of her, yelling at me. "Who the hell are you?!" "Do you know who you just hit?!" "Let me tell you," the loudest one pointed a finger in my face, "she is the fiancée of the heir to the Miller Group! You offend her, and Liam won't let you off!" Someone even blocked my path, sneering, "I want to see which idiot has no eyes and dares to offend Liam's heart. Everyone knows Liam is a wife-guy. Usually, if Miss Sarah even loses a hair, Liam turns the world upside down. And you just broke her head open!" Sarah clutched her bleeding forehead, glaring at me viciously. "I'm telling you, Charlotte, I was kind enough to let you go five years ago, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of you now! You were just a dog Liam kept at home! Five years ago I could ruin you, and since you dare to show up today, I can ruin you again!" I looked at the changes in Sarah over the last five years. I had to admit. Liam had taken good care of her. The woman who used to timidly call me "Mrs. Miller" could now publicly threaten to "ruin" me. Unfortunately, I've never been a pushover. Not five years ago. And certainly not now. Surrounded by the crowd, I looked at the shattered glass on the floor. I bent down, and to everyone's shock, picked up a sharp shard. I smiled. "Sarah." I walked towards her step by step. "Five years ago," I dangled the bloody shard, "I gave you too much face." "What?" I stared at Sarah's lower abdomen, dragging the shard's path through the air from her face down to her stomach. "Stabbing out your uterus wasn't enough to teach you a lesson?" "In that case." My smile turned sinister. Before anyone could react, I raised the shard and stabbed it violently towards her stomach. But. Before I could make contact, my wrist was suddenly grabbed. I heard a scream, and then Sarah's tearful voice. "Liam." "I'm scared." Five years ago, when I pinned Sarah to the ground and stabbed her again and again, she had looked at him with the same terrified eyes and cried the same words. "Liam, I'm scared." Time overlapped. A familiar voice came from behind me. "Charlotte, it's been five years." "How come," Liam's voice was dark, "you still haven't learned to behave?" My wrist was yanked hard. The pain made me frown, but I didn't submit like I did five years ago. Instead, it ignited the suppressed violence in my blood. I gripped the shard tightly, feeling it cut into my own palm. Just as Liam was about to snatch it away... I turned my head quickly and smiled at him. "Long time no see." "Liam." I drove the shard deep into Liam's arm. Blood sprayed, blurring my vision. 2 The venue descended into chaos. I heard countless screams, shouts for security, and whispers of shock. "Who is this woman? Is she crazy?! She dared to stab Liam Miller!" "Wait, I heard Miss Sarah say five years ago... Didn't Liam kick out an orphan the Miller family adopted, his nominal wife, five years ago? Holy sh*t, is that her?" "Doesn't look like her." "I heard that orphan had no family, only a dog. And because the dog offended Miss Sarah, it was tortured to death all night! Everyone in the elite circle has seen that video! The dog was skinned alive!" "Look! Liam is actually laughing!" Blood seeped from Liam's arm. Sarah screamed, "Liam!" Then, ignoring her own bleeding forehead, she rushed at Liam like a maniac, shielding him behind her and screaming at me. "Charlotte! How dare you hurt Liam!" "The Miller family raised you for twenty years, and this is how you repay them? You ungrateful wolf! Apologize to Liam right now!" Watching Sarah act like the mistress of the Miller household, ordering me around, I only found it amusing. I looked at Liam. "Raised for five years, and you raised a dog to bark for you. Liam, do you feel satisfied?" Sarah's face went pale. Liam immediately pulled Sarah behind him, just like five years ago. "Charlotte, we were done five years ago." "I told you, my heart only has Sarah. I won't love you, and I can't like you," Liam looked at me coldly. "I don't care how you lived these past five years, or how you got an invite to sneak in here." "But I will never let you return to the Miller family to harm Sarah again." "Charlotte." Liam looked down at me from his height. "I could have ignored your existence today, but since you hurt Sarah, you have to pay the price." Liam clapped his hands, and a group of security guards surrounded us. "Do you choose to do it yourself, or should I?" A guard handed him a knife. Liam took it, waiting for my answer. But I laughed out loud. "Liam, do you think the world revolves around you?" I pointed at the knife in his hand. "If you have the guts, you'd better finish me today," I stepped closer. "Otherwise, when it's my turn to deal with you..." "Don't you dare," I leaned in close, articulating clearly, "kneel and beg for mercy." "Hahaha." My laughter echoed in the silent banquet hall. Liam's face was dark. Seeing him tremble with rage reminded me of five years ago. He used my dog, Buddy, to force me to kneel and kowtow. He locked Buddy in a cage, taped his mouth shut, and threatened to slice him open if I didn't beg. My pride was shattered. Watching Buddy in agony, I knelt and begged. "Liam!" I cried and pleaded. "Don't hurt Buddy." "I admit it! I was wrong! I know I was wrong!" I only had Buddy. My only wish was to take Buddy and leave the Miller family. I begged desperately. "Let Buddy go! Please let him go!" I will never forget the look of pain in Buddy's eyes. And I will never forget the hatred carved into my bones. Facing Liam now, all that remains is unburned rage. "Liam, you're just a dog played by Sarah," I said word by word. "If your grandfather knew he handed the family to you, he'd crawl out of his grave to strangle you!" "After all, the Miller family is completely finished!" 3 My throat was strangled tight. My breath was stolen. Oxygen was fading. I met Liam's crimson eyes and heard his vicious, insane voice. "Charlotte, don't think I won't kill you!" "You are just a dog of the Miller family," Liam slammed me onto the floor. Champagne glass shards pierced my skin, cutting countless tiny wounds. The pain made me shudder. Liam grabbed my hair. "If I want you to kneel, you kneel!" "If I want you to die! You die!" Liam smirked at me. "But today, I don't really want you to die." "After all," Liam patted my face, "such a good toy shouldn't be broken so easily, right?" I looked at Liam, inches away. I remembered the day Sarah sent me that video, her tone bragging. I just told Liam the dog scared me, and he skinned it. Say, if next time I tell Liam you scare me too, will he skin you as well? So funny! Nominally you are Mrs. Miller, but you are lower than a servant. Now, looking at Liam's expression, a metallic taste rose in my throat. As he raised his hand to slap my face again, I spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm onto his face. Seeing the momentary shock turn to disgust on his face, I laughed. "That's right, Liam." "How can you die so quickly," I mimicked his tone and laughed, "After all, such a fun game has to be played to the end." Since I came back. I never planned to let the Millers go. Everyone who hurt Buddy will pay. Buddy died a cruel death; how could I spare them? Seeing my stubbornness. Liam suddenly let go of my hair and wiped the bloody spit off his face. "True." "Some things need to be tortured slowly." "Since you're back," Liam looked at me, "let's play." Liam stopped looking at me and ordered the guards. "Watch her." "Don't let her run." Then, Liam returned to his gentle self, turning to Sarah. "Does it hurt?" He gently wiped away Sarah's tears. "I'll take you to the private room." Sarah collapsed into his arms, sobbing. "With you, it doesn't hurt." "With you here," she choked out, "I'm not afraid of anything." I watched Liam carry Sarah away. I sat on the floor, the tiny cuts stinging. The sycophants around me started spewing venom. "Who does she think she is? Daring to hurt Liam. It's a mercy he didn't half-kill her today. Get lost." "Exactly! I heard before, she's just an orphan Old Man Miller picked up. The family raised her, and she bit the hand that fed her by attacking Miss Sarah. She deserved to be kicked out." "By the way," someone laughed and opened their phone, "I still have the video of that dog." The person opened their gallery and found the torture video. Others crowded around. "Let me see." "I want to see too." 4 Buddy's screams rang out. It triggered something in me. I picked up a shard from the floor, grabbed that guy by his hair, and stabbed it into his eye. Screams drilled into my ears. I admired it like art, turning to see the people who were pointing at me moments ago now silenced. No one dares to mess with a lunatic. Especially a lunatic like me, who dared to take the life of the Miller heir. Even the security guards didn't dare touch me. I looked at the crowd of cowards, spat out a mouthful of blood, dropped a "Useless," and headed in Liam's direction. Liam took Sarah to the private room and called his private doctor. The doctor carefully examined Sarah's wound, but she cried, "Don't look at me, look at Liam." "I really didn't expect," Sarah choked, "Charlotte is even crazier after five years. I shouldn't have been soft-hearted back then. She's here now because she can't let go of you." "Back then, everyone knew Charlotte loved you to death. Just because you were a little nice to me, she embarrassed me in public and slapped me." Sarah wiped her tears. "Liam, don't let her ruin our relationship again, okay?" Liam sat by the bed, holding Sarah's hand, comforting her softly. "I won't, don't worry." "To me," Liam scoffed, "Charlotte was just a toy. When I was bored as a kid, I'd lock her in a dark room and scare her with snakes and rats. Listening to her cry was fun." "Later, I found out she was feeding stray dogs, so I poisoned a few. She actually pulled a knife on me for those animals." Liam gritted his teeth. "That dog deserved to die." I reached the door of the private room just in time to hear this. I remembered back then, Liam chained me up for three whole days. I was covered in wounds, yet he still choked me and demanded: "No birth control!" I still remember Liam's sick, obsessive eyes clearly. "Since playing with you isn't enough, then carry my seed. I want to see if your bones are still this hard when you're pregnant with my child!" Later, Buddy brought the Old Man to save me. Buddy went with me to the hospital, where I ensured I could never be a mother. Even if I could never have children. I would never give birth to a child with Liam's blood. That was also when. Liam decided to kill Buddy. My phone vibrated. I looked at the caller ID, my face softening. "You went to the gala for Dad?" His voice was gentle. "Heard the ex-husband is there too. Why didn't you wait for me?" Hearing his voice, I couldn't help complaining. "I'm about to get killed! Come save me before I die!" I hung up. I heard Sarah ask him, "What if Charlotte still wants to be with you?" Before Liam could answer. I kicked open the door. Facing Sarah's shocked face, Liam immediately shielded her. "Charlotte! You really have no shame!" "You chased us here!" Liam looked at me with amusement. "What, want to come back and be Mrs. Miller? Who do you think you are—" I raised the knife in my hand, rushed to Liam, and stabbed it into his abdomen. I sneered at him. "Liam!" "Go to hell!"
