Once, Rainie and Nigel had made a promise to each other that no matter what happened, they would never abandon each other.

Back then, they had so much fun together and were without a worry in the world.

Rainie had always believed that as long as they continued down this path bit by bit, they would one day be able to overcome all obstacles and spend the rest of their lives together. Now, though, Nigel was making his way toward her, bit by bit, with a blade in his hand.

It was not for their happiness but rather because he wanted to kill her.

Nigel had once said he would never make her cry. Never, ever...

However, despite how much Rainie sobbed and begged him to stop, it was all pointless. Nigel still continued making his way toward her.

What should have been a shining diamond ring in his hands was replaced by a shining dagger that could take her life from her at a moment's notice.

Rainie had had bad eyesight ever since she was a child because of how much she cried. Whenever anything sparkled before her, she would blink her eyes in pain.

This time, though, she did not close her eyes no matter how much the dagger sparkled.

Even though her eyes had turned completely bloodshot, she still refused to believe the man she had once trusted most in the world would betray her.

Despite everything, Rainie still blamed herself. Was her stubbornness the reason why this had happened to Nigel? Was she the reason? If she had done as her father had wanted, Nigel probably would not have been subjected to such treatment. It was all her fault. As those thoughts occurred to Rainie, she stopped backing away.

She lowered her head and waited for her 'punishment' to arrive.

"I'm sorry. It's all because of me. It's all because of me..."

When she lifted her head once more, Nigel's blade was within reach of her.

Soon, Rainie would be able to atone for her crimes.

She looked up at the ceiling,

With a clang, the dagger found its way to the floor.

Fearful expressions appeared on everyone's faces. Somehow, the dagger had missed its target.

Most importantly, how had Rainie disappeared into thin air?!

Rainie opened her eyes when she heard Clint's voice.

"M-Mr. Melton..."

She looked around her surroundings frantically.

"W-What's going on... Why are you the one I'm seeing after I die? Are you not human-"noveldrama

Clint chuckled at what Rainie said.

"Gosh, what are you talking about? I saved your life. You aren't dead!"

"What..."

Before Clint could explain things further, Gale burst through the and Sprinted toward Clint.
