Chapter 426: A Strong Message
A couple of days passed and Arthur was staying with Talia. This time, he was upgraded to her official boyfriend and was allowed to stay in her place. So they’ve been sharing the bed at night.
Both of them found themselves growing together as a couple although there were not making love. They felt like they were old couples just talking and laughing together. Of course, Talia would offer her ’hand’ but she still wasn’t ready to go all the way.
That morning they were informed that Ralph passed away. From what they heard, Ralph chewed his own wrists off and died of blood loss. He went through terrible suffering with his infections before he took such a drastic method to take his life.
Arthur thought Talia would be a little scared to hear the gory way Ralph died, but he saw the corners of her lips lifting slightly.
This is good! She compliments me well!
That was his thought. The little girl he met at the creek who cried for the death of the bug has turned to this ruthless woman and it was not on her own choice. And he loved the woman with him now as much as he liked the girl he met at the creek.
Talia went to the holding cell with Arthur and the box was cleaned up already. She demanded to see the video and Arthur held her hand as she watched his gory death without even blinking.
It was as if she was imprinting his last moments in her heart. And then she closed her eyes and observed a moment of silence. She said nothing making Arthur wonder what she is thinking.
"Ms. Alexandra Belfauger was the last person who talked to him. She didn’t want to hear his side and she just spoke through the microphone."
