Ace leaned her head against Adrian's chest, crying, and gently tugged at Adrian's shirt collar.
"Unfortunately, you're getting married, and I have to go to jail. We are destined to miss each other."
"No, I have a way." Adrian gently comforted her, his tone full of responsibility and care, completely forgetting that I was his fiancée.
I curled my still aching arm and glanced at Adrian.
"Ms. Garden, you killed someone, but there are extenuating circumstances. Adrian and I will find the best lawyer for you to seek a reduced sentence. We will also take care of your family."
This sentence took all my strength.
I was gambling, betting on whether Adrian would choose me or Ace.
But I didn't wait for Ace's answer, only heard Adrian's voice.
"Emma, you said that you would do anything I asked you to."
He lifted his head to look at me. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness and coldness that I had never seen before.
"Ace is in poor health, and you have an alibi. You go to prison for Ace."
Adrian ignored my pleas and cries, firmly holding my hand, leaving my fingerprints on the murder weapon, and threatened me with my family to change my testimony.
