Chapter 7 He had one hand around Marcus's throat , the other balled into a fist , beating the shit out of him over and over . He was taking all his rage out on this kidnapper , but even if he beat Marcus to death , it still wouldn't be enough . Marcus was barely breathing when he managed to gasp out a few words . " Mr. Harrington ... we were just ... paid to do a job ... " Dominic's eyes narrowed . " By who ? " Marcus's hand was shaking as he pulled something out of his pocket . It was my charm . The one that matched Dominic's . Dominic held his breath as he took the blood - stained thing and slowly opened it up . Inside was a piece of paper . The paper had a list of everyone connected to Sophie , with all the other names crossed out except one - Lily . If this was before , Dominic would've thought this was just me being jealous . Me being petty about Lily , treating her like my enemy . But now he got it . He understood what I was really trying to tell him . Lily wasn't just my romantic rival . I'd been secretly helping Dominic find the truth this whole time . Dominic told everyone to get the hell out . Now it was just me and him in that room . Well , not really me . Not a complete me anyway . He couldn't look at my face . Couldn't look at where he'd cut into my back . With nobody around , he covered his face with his hands and couldn't lift his head . Wait ... was he ... crying? We grew up together , and except for the day Sophie died , I'd never seen him cry . Even when Sophie died , he only shed one tear . But now I could see tears streaming through the gaps between his fingers . I heard him mumble , " I'm sorry ... " I wanted to ask him what exactly he was sorry for . But at this point , whatever answer he gave wouldn't matter anyway . I was already dead . If it wasn't for how deep my resentment ran , I probably wouldn't have even gotten to hear that apology . Thinking about it , I actually wanted to comfort him . Dominic , don't feel sorry . You should feel relieved . Um in Court for EVERYTHING Chapter 7 From now on , nobody's gonna bother you . Nobody's gonna chase after you . Nobody's gonna take up that fiancée spot anymore , You can be with your little canary forever and ever - assuming you still want her after knowing the truth . Lily's surgery went perfectly . She was lying in bed , waiting for Dominic to show up . When she saw him walk in , she smiled . " Where were you ? I thought you said you'd wait outside the operating room for me ? " Dominic didn't say anything . He just placed a charm in front of her . Lily's sharp eyes recognized it right away - it was my charm . She stopped smiling . Dominic asked her , " Why ? Why did you kill her ? " Lily went white as a sheet . She didn't dare say a word . Dominic pulled up a chair and sat next to her , acting all calm like nothing had happened . " You're not gonna talk ? That's fine . I already know . " " My sister - you killed her too , didn't you ?
