Chapter 11
Half an hour later, Lisa was getting impatient.[]
She slapped Mark across the face:]
“Why isn’t she here yet? Are you two playing me?”
Mark’s head snapped to the side from the blow, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth as he hastily explained:
“Maybe she’s stuck in traffic… I’ll call her again.“)
The phone rang again.[]
This time Mark’s voice was full of urgency:
“Honey, why aren’t you here yet?“]
flowered my voice, pretending to be nervous:
“Babe, the police just told me they’ve located Lisa. She might know you reported her and come to the hospital to find you. When she does, stall her. don’t let her escape…”]
“What are you talking about=“]
Before Mark could finish, Lisa snatched the phone and smashed it to the ground.
The phone instantly shattered, pieces flying everywhere]
“Mark! So you’re the one who got me wanted by the police!
Liss glared at him, looking ready to tear him apart
Mark tried to scramble off the bed to escape, but was shoved back by one of the men
His body slammed heavily onto the hospital bed, making a dull thud
The bed frame even shook with the impact]
“Caroline is making this up… I didn’t report you… mmph!“]
His words were cut off as one of the men stuffed a sock in his mouth.
Lisa waved her hand: “Beat him!”
The men immediately surrounded him, fists raining down like hailstones.
Mark tried to curl into a ball to protect himself, but it was useless.
Crack
Mark seemed to have broken more ribs
He shook in pain, wins bulging on his forehead, but with his mouth gagged, he couldn’t even scream
Only muffled whimpers escaped.]
“Hat harder! What, you haven’t eaten today?“||
Lisa’s lips curled into a cruel smile, her eyes filled with satisfaction |
Thud! Thad‘ Thud
The men’s fists became more vicious, each punch landing with full force.]
Mark’s body was tossed around like a broken doll]
He began to convulse violently.
He seemed to be losing consciousness.
“Enough“]
Lisa finally waved for the men to stop
She walked up to Mark, spat on him, full of disgust: “I hate cheating scumbags like you the most!”
With that, she turned to leave the room with her men
However, as soon as she opened the door.
She was caught red–handed by the police.]
Mark was pushed back into intensive care
This time, his condition was more critical than before
The doctors did their best.
ans were ruptured in multiple places, blood loss was severe, and ultimately the rescue efforts failed
But his internal organs
In his final moments]]
Mark’s last wish was to see me one last time.]]
I went
The Mark on the hospital bed had been beaten beyond recognition, barely resembling his former self
When he saw me enter, his eyes suddenly brightened, like a final flicker before death
He struggled to rause his hand, reaching toward
“Honey. I love you.“]]
I stood still, the corner of my mouth lifting in a mocking smile.
I mouthed three words.]]
“Go! To! Hell“]
He understood.
His eyes instantly dimaned.
Hi, body convulsed violently once.
Blood suddenly gushed from his mouth and nose []
His hand fell limply
Mark was dead
A tear still hung in the corner of his eye.
Just crocodile tears]
I felt not a ripple in my heart
Lisa’s life was over too. She was charged with intentional injury causing death, prostitution, and multiple other crimes. Ultimately, she received the death penalty for her combined offenses
Standing at the courthouse entrance, I looked up at the sky, the sunshine was brilliant.
