For the past eight years, Henry hadn't earned a cent, and even when he invited me to dinner and bought me gifts, he used the pocket money I gave him.

If it meant he wasted eight years, I would have wasted my whole life.

I didn't intend to settle with Henry, and I did give him a gallery. It wasn't that I couldn't afford to give him, but he didn't appreciate it and insisted on bringing Janet to see me.

It was obviously all about him messing around, but he said I was ruthless in the end when I just asked for my stuff back.

That was it.

As I dried my tears, I slapped myself.

I was disappointed in myself for crying for a man like Henry.

As I threw away my cell phone, I lay down in my soft bed and drifted off to sleep.

I seemed to feel someone knocking on the window at midnight, which woke me up.

I lived on the third floor, but why was there a sound of knocking on the window? Could it be a bird?

I got up, went to the window, and opened the curtains. A face with hair hanging down appeared in front of me.

"Ah!"

The scream resounded through the building as I slammed the curtains shut and fell to the ground.

I was still in shock when the police arrived.
