"Angelica, please, don't leave me," I begged, dropping on my knees. "Angelica, I love you so much, I know you didn't mean to kill my dad, please don't leave!"
Angelica stood before me, stepping on my dad's dead body with a knife in her hand. She burst into laughter as she stared down at me, like she was staring at an ant. "I didn't mean to kill your dad? I came here to kill your dad! I purposely gained your trust, became your girlfriend, and spent time with you to kill him! You think a beautiful, talented, flawless girl like me would listen to your stupid troubles for free?"
I stared at her in disbelief.
"Gotta say, my acting skills are amazing. Don't you agree?" She twirled with the knife in her hands.
"Angelica... This isn't real..." Tears dripped onto the carpeted floor.
She stomped on my father's chest with the heel of her shoe.
"I always thought you were an angel.. my soulmate..."
"Because you're a pathetic, foolish loser!"
I stared at her with blood red eyes, tears uncontrollably rolling down my cheeks. I shook my head furiously, denying the truth. Denying that my father was lying there, lifeless, below Angelica's feet.
"Chase!" Mum's voice sounded behind me. I whipped my head towards her. "Angelica, what have you done to my husband?!" she screeched, stumbling back in shock.
Angelica burst into another fight of maniac laughter and stabbed the knife into his chest again. "I killed him!"
"You...! You...!" Mum clutched her chest, staggering back into the wall. Her eyes rolled back into her head. With her hand on her heart, she collapsed to the ground.
"Mum!" I dashed towards her.
"Ha ha ha!" Angelica yanked the knife out of my father's chest, blood dripping from the blade. She tossed the knife on the ground and strolled towards the window.
"Angelica! Angelica!"
She leaped out the window, escaping.
