Chapter 13 Just as Silas was feeling guilty about misunderstanding Raya and wanted to go apologize , he heard something crash inside her room , followed by Raya's voice filled with rage . " Fucking Celia ! I thought things would finally calm down after she died , but nope - should've known better . I don't know what kind of crap she pulled . but now everyone's crying over her like she was some damn saint . " " Can't even stay quiet in the grave ! " Hearing Raya's words outside , Silas immediately frowned . He'd thought she'd accidentally broken something and was worried about her . But now he pulled back his hand from the door handle and stood quietly outside , even holding his breath . He wanted to know what else Raya might say when she thought no one was listening . And she didn't disappoint . " That bitch Celia had nine damn lives . A car crash , falling off a roof - nothing could kill her . " " But what good did it do her in the end ? She's still dead . " Silas's breathing stopped . So all those incidents were Raya's doing . She'd been trying to kill Celia this whole time ? All the strange things from recent months suddenly connected . The reason Raya wasn't surprised or sad about Celia's death was because she'd orchestrated it all . From beginning to end , she'd wanted Celia dead so she could completely take her place in the Fairborne family . Silas slammed the door open , his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Raya . Glass fragments sparkled on the floor , telling the whole story . And the woman who hadn't had time to hide her twisted expression - who else could it be but Raya ? When she heard the noise and looked up , she met his eyes directly . Without her usual gentle facade , he almost couldn't believe this was the same Raya who'd at worst been a bit spoiled from the family's affection . But thinking of what she'd just said , it all made perfect sense . Silas approached her , looking down at her panicked expression , his voice dripping with barely controlled rage . " Raya , what really happened when you fell from that hospital window ? Was it actually Celia trying to frame you ? " Hearing his question , she knew he'd overheard everything . She was panicking inside but managed to compose herself . She tentatively reached for Silas's hand , and when he didn't pull away , she felt more confident and put on her usual act . " Silas , let me explain … " Before she could finish , voices came from downstairs - Aurelian and the staff . " Where's Raya ? " 23.59 Killed Me for Your Precious Angel ? Now Pray She Can Save You from Hell 57.1 % Chapter 13 " Miss is sleeping . Please come back tomorrow . " Then came the sound of footsteps on the stairs . The next moment , Aurelian stood before Raya , his eyes red with fury . Seeing him like this , Raya felt a wave of terror . But she quickly regained her composure . " Aurelian , why are you here so late ? I've already forgiven you for today . I know you're upset about Celia's … AH ! " Before she could finish , Aurelian's hand struck her face , sending her to the floor . Raya touched her swollen , burning cheek , staring at Aurelian in disbelief . Soon her eyes filled with tears , blurring her vision . " Aurelian , how could you hit me ? " Her trembling voice seemed to plead her innocence , but her usual tactics that always worked before only fueled his rage more . Aurelian grabbed her throat , his eyes blazing with fury . " Even now , you still want to lie ?! " His grip tightened around her neck . Stars danced before her eyes as suffocation set in . She instinctively clawed at his hands . She gasped desperately for air , but it was useless - only making her throat drier .. Finally , perhaps seeing her distress , he mercifully loosened his grip . A terrifying mark appeared on Raya's pale neck . She greedily gulped fresh air , but then he yanked her hair , forcing her to look up at him . " What did you do to Celia ? Why did you deceive all of us ?! " Aurelian threw Raya to the ground . Her head hit the table , blood seeping from her forehead . Neither man moved to help her . Aurelian threw all the evidence at her , the sharp paper edges cutting her skin and drawing blood . " All the proof is right here ! What else can you say ?! " Silas knelt down and picked up the scattered reports from the floor . All the past truths were laid bare . Ile looked at Raya with complete disgust . Conrad and Millicent , hearing the commotion , rushed over . Seeing Raya kneeling on the floor with blood on her forehead , they quickly entered . " How could you two treat Raya like this ! " Millicent started to pull Raya up from the floor , but Silas stopped her . " Look at what your precious Raya has really done ! " ( 0 ) 609 ( 0 ) 23.59
