Chapter 5 Celia was about to speak when Raya suddenly appeared behind them , her voice dripping with fake innocence . " Wait , didn't you guys hear wrong ? I could have sworn she said she wanted to destroy Uncle Conrad and Aunt Millicent's graves , along with Mireya's . " Her soft words cut through Celia like a blade . Celia stood there numbly , not even bothering to defend herself anymore . She knew that no matter what she said , they'd never believe her . Sure enough , Aurelian's face went dark . " Celia , are you kidding me ? We came back when we saw the storm and you weren't around - and this is what you're up to ? Haven't you learned anything by now ? " Silas was absolutely livid , grabbing Celia by the collar . " Killing Mom , Dad , and Mireya wasn't enough for you ? Now you wanna desecrate their graves too ? " Celia almost wanted to laugh . Who exactly had she killed ? Everyone was alive and well - she was the one dying here ! But before she could say a word , Silas dragged her out of the office . " Since you clearly haven't learned anything , maybe it's time you felt some real pain ! " He kicked her hard in the back . " AHH ! " Celia tumbled down the stone steps , sharp edges tearing at her skin , her bones making sickening sounds as they hit each step . She rolled down to the bottom like a broken doll , covered in blood , and finally passed out from the agony . Hours later , Celia woke up in the freezing rain . She lay there in a pool of her own blood , completely alone . The cemetery staff had clearly been warned off - no one dared come near her . Her ribs were probably broken , her right leg useless , and blood still poured from a gash on her forehead . Rain mixed with blood , creating little red streams on the ground . She bit down hard and crawled inch by inch toward the nearest fence , her fingernails digging into the dirt , leaving bloody trails behind her . Every movement felt like being stabbed by a thousand needles . Finally , she grabbed the fence and shakily pulled herself up . One step , two steps … Blood dripped down her pants , blooming like red flowers in the rain . By the time she dragged herself to the hospital , got patched up , and made it back to the house , it was past midnight . The living room lights were still on . Aurelian and Silas sat on the couch , watching coldly as she limped through the door . " Have you learned your lesson ? " Silas asked icily . Celia nodded numbly . " Yes . " " Gonna try anything stupid again ? " 23:58 Killed Me for Your Precious Angel ? Now Pray She Can Save You from Hell 19.0 % Chapter 5 She shook her head . Only then did they get up and leave , satisfied . The next few days , Celia locked herself in her room , not coming out for anything . Until Raya's birthday party , when they forced her to attend . The celebration was on a luxury yacht , crystal chandeliers casting brilliant light everywhere , champagne towers sparkling in the center of the ballroom . Celia stood in the shadows , watching Raya shine on stage . Aurelian knelt on one knee , slipping diamond - studded heels onto her feet . Silas stood nearby , fastening a priceless ruby necklace around her neck . Guests raised their glasses in celebration . For a moment , Celia remembered the past . All her childhood birthdays had been held on this very yacht . Back then , Aurelian would drop everything to personally decorate the entire ballroom for her . Silas would drive across the city in the middle of the night just because she mentioned wanting cake from some specific bakery . Her parents would proudly tell everyone , " This is our beloved daughter . " Now she lurked in corners like a ghost . Even the waiters deliberately avoided offering her champagne . " And now , let's light the birthday fireworks for Miss Raya ! " The MC's voice snapped her back to reality . Guests cheered and rushed toward the deck , and Celia was pushed along with the crowd . Ocean wind brushed her face , carrying the salt air . " BOOM- " The first firework exploded across the night sky , lighting up the entire sea . But suddenly , the clear night turned stormy ! Dark clouds rolled in from nowhere ! " What the hell ? " " The weather report didn't say anything about rain tonight ! " Before anyone could react , fierce winds picked up and rain came pouring down ! " AHH ! " A massive wave hit the yacht , sending it rocking violently ! Celia's feet slipped , and she went tumbling over the rail ! At the same moment , she saw Raya get thrown overboard too ! SPLASH SPLASH ! They both hit the water almost simultaneously . 23:58 Killed Me for Your Precious Angel ? Now Pray She Can Save You from Hell 20.6 % Chapter 5 Freezing seawater rushed into Celia's nose and mouth .
