Chapter 11 Aurelian was consumed by crushing pain . Every time he closed his eyes , Celia's last words echoed in his mind . " My surprise for you is here . " He held her ashes close to his chest , repeating " I'm sorry " countless times . But no amount of apologies could bring Celia back . Only alcohol could numb him enough to sleep briefly , though he'd always wake up from nightmares . When the doorbell rang , Aurelian didn't move . After a long while , the door opened . Backlit by the light , he couldn't make out who it was clearly . But the silhouette looked familiar - like Celia's shape . " Aurelian . " When Raya's voice rang out , Aurelian's head dropped in disappointment . He grabbed the wine glass from the coffee table and hurled it at her . CRASH ! The moment Raya stepped through the door , a glass flew past her , shattering at her feet . An angry voice roared out : " Get out ! All of you get the hell out ! " Raya froze , but carefully stepped around the glass fragments and came inside . It had only been a few days , but she barely recognized the man in front of her . His face was haggard , with streaks of gray already showing in his hair . He'd aged years in just days . " Aurelian . " His gaze finally shifted from Celia's urn to focus on Raya's face . " Aurelian , what's wrong ? Did something happen ? " After Silas came home , his attitude toward her had completely changed . He wouldn't even respond to their parents and had moved out . Raya had been trying to figure out what went wrong . " Get out ! I never want to see you again . " The sight of Raya made Aurelian think that if he'd just been stronger back then , if he'd told Celia the truth directly , maybe things would have turned out differently . It was all because of Raya , because of the Fairborne family - they'd killed Celia . " Aurelian , I've been missing you so much lately , I … " She slowly approached him , talking about how much she'd missed him , completely oblivious to his darkening expression . Suddenly , she spotted the death certificate on the table . 23.58 Killed Me for Your Precious Angel ? Now Pray She Can Save You from Hell 47.6 % Chapter 11 Celia's name jumped out at her . For an instant , unmistakable joy flashed across Raya's face before she quickly switched to sorrow . " Aurelian , I know you're heartbroken about Celia leaving us , but she's gone now . Making yourself suffer like this would only make her sad too . " Her hand touched his arm , her voice gentle . " It's okay , Aurelian . You still have me . I'll always be here for you . " SMACK ! The next second , Aurelian's palm struck Raya hard across the face . Raya clutched her cheek , staring at him in disbelief . In her mind , Aurelian had always been gentle and refined . These past few years , she'd enjoyed his devoted care . She'd practically started thinking of him as her fiancé . Before she could say anything else , Aurelian's hand wrapped around her throat . The terror of suffocation made her struggle desperately , pleading for mercy . Just when she thought he was going to strangle her , Aurelian released his grip , his voice cold and emotionless . " Get out . " Raya didn't dare say another word and fled quickly . With her gone , the villa plunged back into darkness . His phone rang again . T " Hello , Mr. Graves . According to Miss Fairborne's final wishes , she wanted to be properly buried . When would you like to hold the funeral for Miss Fairborne ? " Another call from the cemetery management - Aurelian had received many of these lately , but he'd always hung up immediately . But thinking about Raya's expression just now , Aurelian asked , " When did Celia reserve the burial plot ? " When the manager gave him the date , Aurelian quickly realized it was the same day they'd been tormenting her as usual - the anniversary of her parents ' and " Mireya's " deaths . But hadn't Raya said that day that Celia wanted to destroy their graves ? Thinking about this , a realization began forming in his mind . Aurelian's voice was hoarse . " She said she wanted to purchase a burial plot , not destroy graves , right ? " After getting confirmation from the staff member , Aurelian's breathing stopped , All his memories from recent days began spinning wildly in his mind, everything taking on a different meaning . If this was a lie , then … what about everything else ? What was the real truth about the house fire , about falling from the yacht ? At the hospital that day , was it really Celia who pushed Raya from the window ? No … it was all wrong ! 23:58 Killed Me for Your Precious Angel ?

Aurelian suddenly remembered the flash drive that had been with the medical report . He'd never opened it . But now , holding it , he suddenly felt like all these questions would be answered by what was on this drive . Aurelian inserted the flash drive into his computer . Looking at everything organized on it , his eyes widened in disbelief . Unable to control his emotions anymore , he grabbed the flash drive and headed straight to the Fairborne house . ♡ ( 0 )
