"Young master, the police are here," the worker informed me as I returned from my visit to my mother’s grave. The weight of the past few hours settled in my chest, but a twisted sense of relief soothed my soul. That man was gone—dead by the hands of the very woman he had abandoned my mother for.
"Why?" I asked, my voice calm yet edged with curiosity.
"They found a car in the river..." the worker trailed off, his voice low and cautious.
I arched a brow. "Oh? So?"
The police officer stepped forward, holding out a photo. "It appears to belong to your stepmother, Mrs. Kim," he said solemnly.
I sighed, lowering my head, forcing the corners of my lips to tremble just enough. "First my father, and now my stepmother too," I murmured, letting a tear glisten in my eye as I met his gaze.
"Isn't life unfair, sir?" I asked, biting my lip as though barely holding myself together.
"My condolences, Mr. Kim. We'll arrange for the body to be delivered. Would you like to file a case?" the officer asked, his tone tinged with sympathy.
I shook my head, clutching my chest theatrically. "No, I’m okay. I've lost both my parents. It’s too much to bear right now."
"Understood, Mr. Kim," the officer said before bowing slightly and leaving the room.
As the door shut behind him, I wiped away the fake tears from my face, my expression hardening instantly.
"When they bring the body, Mr. Sam, bury it next to my father," I said coldly, my voice venomous.
"But make sure to decorate her grave with thorns," I added, my teeth gritted in pure disdain.
Uncle Sam, who had been standing quietly beside me, nodded without a word.
Justice had been served, and I ensured her place in this world would reflect the torment she caused in mine.
The mansion stood eerily silent, its vast emptiness cloaked in darkness. Each step I took echoed faintly against the cold, marble floor. I stopped by the window—the one where my mother used to sit with me, her gentle hands brushing through my hair, her voice a melody of comfort.
