The Diary Of My Dead Wife

Chapter 16: I just want her to die! 

Starting that day, Zac lost all the will to live on.

He was physically alive but was mentally and emotionally dead.He didn't eat, drink, and even sleep.He just kept on holding Sophie's ashes all day and all night.He was so lost the whole time.

His entire being seemed to be paralyzed.

He never cried, or even tried to show everyone that he was struggling and dying inside.

It looked like he was just waiting for his death to come so he could be together with Sophie.

Thaddeus, on the other hand, received a call from the housekeeper regarding his son's condition.

He immediately flew to Arial City to wake Zac up to reality and help him recover.

Unfortunately, Zac seemed to have his own world, and remained silent after Thaddeus said a lot of words and scolded him.

So Thaddeus decided to awaken Zac's senses by saying something that would surely catch his attention.

"Do you want to end your life just like this? Let's just say that you don't care about me anymore, but what about the ashes you are holding now? Think about Sophie's death.How could a secured villa, with so many servants and bodyguards, suddenly catch a fire? Stop dwelling too much on grief, son.Don't you want to avenge her?"

Upon hearing this, Zac finally moved, and slowly looked at his father.

"You mean…”

"Go and find out the truth! You don't want to die without avenging her death, right? If you die like this, I'm afraid Sophie won't accept you underground!"

After saying that, he didn't look back to push the wheelchair away.

‘‘Someone set the fire on purpose!’’

“My Sophie was killed!’’ He thought furiously.

He closed his hands tightly, and the veins in his fists started to be visible.

Thaddeus’ method of waking his son's senses was effective.

Zac pulled himself together as fast as he could.

With Zac's force and his father, nothing was impossible.

If they wanted to find out something, they would really find it.

If only he didn't dwell much on sadness, this matter wouldn't be delayed.

Thanks to his father for waking him up.

Within just three days, the truth finally prevailed.

Edith, who was the culprit, was also brought to him.

In a dark room with only dim lights.

Edith was pushed vigorously by the bodyguard.

After that, the door was closed loudly.

She gasped in pain as she accidentally fell to the ground.

She slowly got up and saw Zac sitting behind his desk.

Only half of his face could be seen because the other half was hidden in the dark.

His usual gentle looks faded away.

It was replaced with a cold aura that brought chills to her whole being.

Edith's legs trembled slightly.

"Zac, y-you have lost weight.If you want to see me, you should have called me and not through this way.You're scaring me.Have you not eaten well recently? I've been practicing my cooking skills recently.If you want to eat, I'll cook for you."

She forced herself to smile to make herself looked calm and relaxed.

"You're the one who set the fire,’ Zac spoke coldly, ignoring her words.

"I don't understand what you said!"

Edith's face turned pale.

She was nervous, but she still gritted her teeth to hide her fear.

Zac got up and walked up to her.

"Sophie is your sister, and I really wonder what she did to make you hate her so much.Even though she was already comatose and almost lifeless, you still didn't leave her in peace.You really won't stop until you finally killed her? Hmm? "

Looking at him, Edith realized that Zac was more terrible than a devil, but she wouldn't admit it or else, she would lose everything.

She slowly took Zac's hand and looked him in the eye with all her courage.

"Zac, It's not me! I didn't do it! It's her own life, the fire is just..."

Pa- Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a slap in the face.

Her forehead hit the wall, which made her dizzy in pain.

"Do you think you can fool me? All the evidence is on my desk.Do you want me to show it to you?"

He furiously grabbed her neck, with his eyes burning in rage.

Edith's face flushed. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She knew that he wouldn't believe her anymore, so it would be useless for her to deny everything.

"Yes, it's me! I was the one who paid off the nurse, and the people to sprinkle the gasoline that set the fire because I wanted her to die! I want her to be out of this world, so you will come back to me! What's wrong with me? I just wanted to have my own happiness back, but she was a hindrance to me.Everything in the Williams family is mine, which includes my grandmother's inheritance.Even you and everything you have is also mine! She wanted to compete with me, but she couldn't beat me.She deserved to die! "
