It was raining hard. The waves crashed furiously as if they were about to devour everything.
In front of the cliff, Viviane was already as cornered as she could be.
“Vivi. It’s dangerous.”
The male in front of her called out her name.
His low voice seemed to be coaxing and yet threatening. His tone was calm, but his eyes were swaying like a raging wave under the cliff.
“Come here.”
“…No.”
One step. Two steps.
With every backwards step she took, she could sense the strong smell of the sea. Behind her was a tall cliff.
She knew that. And the reason she had no choice but to keep stepping backwards was because of the shadow cast in front of her
“Let’s go home.”
The living trap was walking up to her.
With very, very sweet bait.
“Our game of hide and seek is over. I found you, so I won.”
One step. Two steps.
Slowly.
“Let’s go home now.”
At that time, she had fallen in love with this male’s beauty. She willingly fell for it, not knowing that it was a trap. It felt good just being by his side, not knowing that he was like thorns piercing her skin, like rugged teeth piercing her heart more painfully and mercilessly than anything else.
Ripping up one’s skin, drawing out one’s blood.
She managed to escape only when she had already been completely wrecked. The trap shook its bait again, desperately trying to take her back to its greedy embrace.
“I am not going. Kian.”
I am not your prey now, Viviane said in a clear tone.
Tak. A stone kicked by her heel rolled down the cliff. Vivianne stopped in her tracks. There was no place for her toes to touch anymore.
“…Please.”
Was she dreaming? She couldn’t believe it.
His voice trembled in a pleading as she stood at the edge of the cliff.
But this was a lie. That man did not know how to beg.
There was a time when she wished she could sway that ruthless male. Either way was good. She does not hesitate to injure herself and collapse in the process.
What’s the use of all that? When she recalled that time, only a smile mixed with remorse and self-deprecation came from her lips.
“And I won.”
With her last words, she threw herself into the sea without hesitation.
Farewell,
Kian von Rarson.
Recalling the cracks in the gaze behind Kian’s black eyes. She fell, further and further below.
And at last, she crashed.
