Chapter 9

"Why did you kill my mother? Revenge on me? To punish me for the woman you love? Adrian, ask yourself, haven't you tormented me long enough? I've lost one of my kidneys and my baby. Isn't that enough?" Sienna turned to face Adrian, her eyes devoid of light and love, only filled with extreme indifference and... hatred. "Isn't it enough?" "Sienna, don't..." Adrian furrowed his brows, unable to call her unreasonable. He paused, "I didn't kill Mrs. Mckinney." "You didn't kill her? Huh... indeed, you didn't." Sienna laughed bitterly, clinging to her mother's now cold body. "It was me who killed Mom. It was me who insisted on loving you. If I hadn't fallen in love with you, maybe none of this would have happened." Sienna spoke to herself, and her voice was filled with sorrow. Lara had been a well-known socialite, a graceful, charming middle-aged woman. It was ridiculous that she lost her life just like that.
