Bloody Night Before The Wedding

“No worries, Stefan. I had ordered the gift a month ago and asked the delivery man to send it at midnight. Just wait for it,” I said with a flat expression, since I was too fed up with his depression.

When we started our business, the first gift I gave him was a phone case.

It seemed so cliché, but I added some special things to it.

Every gift that I gave to him always included a greeting on it.

For the phone case, I hid it inside, the part where it touched the phone. So, the outside part was like a usual phone case.

Even when I put the phone case on his mobile four years ago, Stefan was not aware of it. He just realized when he removed it from the phone.

That was why, even if the gift was not expensive, Stefan treasured it so much.

As for tonight's gift, I also carefully carved my greeting on it. So, I could not wait for his reaction.

At midnight, a delivery man rang the bell, but Stefan thought it was me.

He smiled happily when opened the door, just to find that it was only my gift for him.

I vaguely saw a glimmer of tears in his eyes as he opened it and read the greeting on the wristwatch I gave him.

Stefan directly picked up his phone and continued to message the unanswered chat.

[Stefan: Beatrice, I received your gift. I like it very much. Please come back. I'll explain everything. I promise this won't happen again in the future.]

However, the result was still the same.

In the end, he walked to the bedroom, screening for the gift box he treasured so much.

I wondered what was inside.

It turned out that all of the gift I gave him was saving on it.

He read all of the greetings that were included on the gift and cried hopelessly.

In the past, I would cry with him, but at that time, my heart was numb.

I watched him cry himself to sleep, but when the sun rose, his phone rang.

"Hello, is this Mr. Stefan Murray? We found Miss Beatrice Callahan's body and need you to identify it."

As the phone fell to the ground, Stefan froze in his tracks.

Suddenly, he came to his senses, rushed downstairs.
