She Had Seven Days with Him, and I Had Seven Days Left Chapter 08

Vivian glared at Nathan coldly. Just as she was about to speak, a bodyguard hurried in. “Ms. Martwell, Mr. Brooks’s phone has been repaired.”

Vivian snatched my phone from his hands and powered it on.

She tapped into the phone gallery, hoping to find our old pictures, only to find the photo albam entirely wiped clean.

As she switched over to LarkRelay, she accidentally opened her chat with Nathan.

Almost every hour of every day, he’d updated me on what he and Vivian were doing.

“Daniel, Vivian and I are heading to bed. Night.” Attached was a photo of the two of them.

“Daniel, Vivian told me she rediscovered her passion for life through me.”

“You’re nothing more than a stagnant puddle.”

“Vivian said she’s even going to have a wedding for me and marry me one day. Are you jealous yet?”

“Serves you right. You should’ve stepped aside a long time ago.”

Every single taunting message laid bare his true colors right in front of Vivian’s eyes.

I never once replied.

Yet to Vivian, it was a silent testament to the quiet agony I had endured.

Vivian clenched her fists, gritting her teeth in anger as she said, “Daniel… I am so, so sorry. How did

you even survive these past few days…”

How did I survive?

Quietly. Just like any other ordinary day.

After all, this wasn’t the first time I had been forced to endure this kind of pain.

From the moment I first noticed her heart drifting away, I had already begun letting go.

A bitter smile formed on my lips,

I used to think I would still feel deeply attached to her. But now that I was truly dead, I realized how

utterly insignificant it all was.

“Vivian… Vivian, wait, don’t misunderstand! I didn’t send those. It was… it was…

Nathan scrambled to explain himself and deny any involvement, but he was so flustered that he couldn’t come up with a convincing excuse.

Vivian didn’t erupt into a rage, nor did she look at him with icy disdain.

Instead, she smiled faintly, but that smile carried a suffocatitig sense of danger.

“Nathan, I told you not to disturb Daniel. Didn’t I make that clear? Since you broke your promise,

you have to pay the price. Right?”

It sounded like a question, but the flat certainty in her voice was a death sentence./

Nathan shook like a leaf but forced a pathetic chuckle. “Vivian, the dead… the dead can’t come

back…”

“Yeah. The dead can’t come back. And you used that very mouth to drive Daniel to his death. So you

can pay with that same mouth.”

Vivian turned her back on him and looked coldly at the bodyguard. “Cut Nathan’s tongue out.”

Nathan let out a shriek and bolted for the door.

But the bodyguard rushed forward, pinned him to the ground, and immediately set to work with the

knife.

“No! No, please! Vivian! Vivian! You vicious bitch! You’re the one who killed Daniel! You’re the one who came onto me! You couldn’t keep your hands to yourself and kept clinging to me!

“If you really loved Daniel, I never would have existed in the first place! Even if it wasn’t me, a thousand more like me would’ve taken my place. You did this! All of this is your fault! It was you-”

Vivian grew frantic. Her eyes widened as she desperately denied it. “It wasn’t me! I love Daniel! I love Daniel! Cut his tongue out! Did you not hear me?”

The next second, the bodyguard pinned Nathan’s jaw open, and the blade flashed downward.

“No! Ah!”

A blood-curdling scream tore through the room as a pool of blood spread across the floor.

Nathan lay on the ground like a broken doll, trembling violently as muffled whimpers escaped his lips.

He cried out in agony, his eyes burning with raw hatred.

Vivian had always been terrified of blood, yet she couldn’t tear her gaze away.

Her breath came in ragged gasps, and a flash of madness glinted in her eyes.

I never imagined she would lay a hand on Nathan-her absolute favorite-just for my sake. But I

didn’t see it as love.

If it were love, Nathan wouldn’t have existed in the first place.

Maybe she was just spiraling over losing someone who used to be hers.

“Daniel, I got revenge for you. Daniel… Daniel… Please come back. I won’t let anyone hurt you ever again, I promise. I’ll stay right by your side, okay?”
