Terrence dropped the file he was holding before checking the notification in his mind for the third time.
“What? Quinn is dead?” he muttered in a shaky voice.

Then, he contacted John to ask about it again.

John fell silent for a moment. Staring at my lifeless face on the screen, he slowly replied, “Yes, Terrence. She’s dead.”

Terrence’s eyes widened with panic. “She’s the female protagonist. She’s supposed to be protected by the Narrative. How can she be dead?”

John sighed. In a heavy voice, he replied, “You’re too emotional, Terrence. There isn’t an infinite amount of Narrative favor in this world. You’ve transferred most of Quinn’s fates and opportunities to Yvonne. It’s only natural that she’s not protected by the Narrative anymore.”

A hint of pity flashed across his eyes. After a brief pause, he added, “You even forced her to endure hardships that she was never supposed to bear in the first place. Her Narrative favor had already been drained by Yvonne a long time ago. Quinn Sawyer is no longer the female protagonist.”

Terrence clutched his chest. The ache in his chest made it incredibly difficult for him to breathe. He couldn’t believe that he was the reason I was dead.

He shook his head violently and exclaimed, “That’s impossible! Quinn is my wife and the love of my life! Why would I ever hurt her?”

“I’m afraid that’s exactly what happened, Terrence,” John said in a calm and emotionless voice. “Because of Yvonne, you chose to hurt Quinn over and over again. In the end, you drained Quinn of her Narrative favor and killed her.”

Upon noticing that something was amiss, Yvonne reached forward and shook Terrence’s arm. “What’s wrong, Terrence? Aren’t you going to continue?”

Terrence flung her hand away from him. His head was a mess, and his emotions were all over the place.

He didn’t care that he was still in a meeting, and he didn’t care about Yvonne’s stunned expression. He turned around and dashed out of the conference room.

Yvonne froze. This was the first time Terrence had treated her so coldly.

She bit her lip as a flicker of embarrassment and grievance flashed across her face. Then, she ran after him.

Terrence rushed to the helipad. He desperately wanted to start up the helicopter.

He refused to believe that I was actually dead, and he wanted to head back and look for me. But just as he was about to board the aircraft, he saw Susan returning with the rest of my team.

Their faces were plastered with grief and anger, and every one of them was glaring at him.

Terrence’s heart dropped. After staggering forward, he asked in a shaky voice, “Where’s Quinn? How is she doing?”

Susan scoffed. Flashing him a look of contempt, she spat, “How do you still have the nerve to ask about her? She’s dead! She died the moment your helicopter took off!”

“That’s not possible. Her condition was already stable. She just needed rest. You’re lying to me!” he shouted, refusing to believe her.

Susan looked at him with disgust. “Do you even understand what you’ve done?”

“How could she possibly be alive after everything she went through? You colluded with those organizations and had her kidnapped and tortured. In the end, you still refused to spare her!”

He frantically shook his head. “How do you know about that? Who told you?”

“Everyone here knows about it!” Susan roared. “And soon, our superiors will know about it as well!”

“Quinn loved you dearly, and you reciprocated her love by sending her to that hellish place,” she continued. “You even asked for her to be tortured according to your orders! Right after she was rescued, you instructed Yvonne to kill her so she could take credit for our team’s efforts!”

Terrence’s mind went blank.

“That’s impossible. I didn’t ask Yvonne to kill her!” he exclaimed.

Susan scoffed and pulled out her phone. Then, she showed him the conversation between Yvonne and me.

After taking a look, he finally found out that Yvonne had given me a sepsis-inducing drug.
