He never meant to hurt you.

You were forced to marry a man Victor who wanted nothing to do with you.

Everyday he would give you the cold shoulder, never allowing you to leave the mansion.

You'd had enough. You wouldn't isolate yourself to the house anymore.

One afternoon, you're able to get past the guards and outside.

You head to the water, seeing as the sun was out.

You're just entering the water when you hear someone approach you.

"What's a weak thing like you doing outside? Big old boss done with his play thing?"

Your brows furrow, confused.

The man scoffs, pulling a knife out from behind him.

"Not much of a talker? This should be easy then." He snorts.

You open your mouth, but only a ragged gasp comes out.

The man rushed forward, digging his blade into your abdomen.

He twists it, earning another gasp. You slump forward, pushing into him.

Blood rushes in your ears. You watch the man's face twist in pride as you fall back into the water.

Just before your head is submerged you hear the roar of Victor's voice.

The cold water bites at your chilled skin.

The blood seeps out, poisoning the water.

He was only trying to protect you.
