Destitute And Homeless

It was night and the cold sea breeze was blowing.

A private yacht was moored at the marina and was lit up.

Anna's hands were tied to the railing with thick twine, her body hanging suspended from the stern end of the yacht, covered in bruises.

Blood was trickling down, wetting her messy hair and making it dry and stiff, so that she couldn't open her eyes.

She was dying of pain.

The palm of her hand that had been cut open by the knife was suddenly stomped on hard by a high heeled shoe.

'Ah..."

The drilling pain hit her, Anna's voice was hoarse as she cried out in pain.

She wasn't dead yet, this torture wasn't over.

"Hehe, Anna, I'm so happy to see you in a state worse than death."

A female voice with a cold smile came from above her head.

Anna tilted her head with difficulty, and her blurred vision saw the woman she hated the most.

Growing up together, a good sister for twelve years...Bella who married her father half a year ago and turned into her stepmother.

'Why ... I've always treated you as a good sister, why are you doing this to me ......"

"A good sister? Haha! Seeing as how you're dying, I'll tell you all the truth."

Bella condescendingly admired Anna's pain, a mischievous smile surfaced on her beautiful face.

"I'm Mrs Order now, so of course I'm going to settle all the children of The Wright Family who stole the family fortune from me.

"Have you ever thought that Alan who asked you to come to the pier tonight didn't show up because he betrayed you for money."

"Now your three brothers can't threaten me, Andy went to jail for knowing the law, Bart met with a car accident and died accidentally, as for, Bill disassociated himself from The Wright Family, it's your turn next."

Every sentence, every word.

It was Bella flaunting her victory, a hard lynching that landed on Anna's heart.

Angry hatred and aching remorse consumed Anna.

"Bella... you're not human... Big Brother loves you so much, The Wright Family treats you so well... "

Her wide eyes seemed to be redder than blood as she tried to fight back, but her hanging body didn't even have the strength to struggle.

At the moment, Bella's heels chopped hard at the wounds on her palms, and her smile was one of eerie pleasure as she saw the bones break and the blood gush out.

"You guys were nice to me? Where's the good! I've lived a parasitic life, Anna, why should you be pampered when you were born into The Wright Family, while I'm an orphan living off The Wright Family's support? Do you think I really consider you a sister? No, you're just a pawn to be manipulated by me."

Anna bit her lip so hard it filled with blood and refused to make another miserable sound even though she was convulsing in pain.

It was she who was too stupid.

Being hoodwinked and counted by Bella all this time.

She had failed her father's love, and even dragged her three brothers into trouble.

The tears raged, an emotional breakdown from her inability to accept the truth, from her pain that was on the verge of tearing her apart.

"Bella ... you have the guts to kill me, I will not let you go even as a ghost ......"

"Death would be a relief for you, how could I let you end it so painfully.

Bella was like she couldn't get enough of it, still enjoying the feeling of victory from abusing her.

"Anna, there's something else I haven't told you, do you know why your father hasn't been in good health for a while? It's because I bribed The Wright Family's servants to put chronic poison in his tea every day, he can last for half a month at most, and when he dies, I will be able to rightfully inherit all of The Wright Family's property.

"No ... nothing is going to happen to my dad ..."

Anna stared in horror desperately shaking her head, but there was nothing she could do to stop it.

There was no one... brothers were in trouble, there was no one left in The Wright Family who could protect her father.

Just then, there were footsteps coming from the deck, and on the yacht was another masked, godforsaken

Secret man.

Anna's eyes struggled to see past him, she couldn't recognise him, was he Bella's accomplice?

Is he here alone?Bella's enquiring expression was tinged with surprise.

The masked man nodded and said in a mechanical falsetto voice, "He really does care about Anna, he was tricked by us into

came over."

At that moment, the headlights of an approaching car were visible from the road across the dock.

Hearing this Anna's eyes widened and her voice hoarsely asked, "Who's coming? What are you going to do?

What?!"

"Heh, the person coming is the head of The Fort Family, your husband, Alexander."

Bella squatted down, reached out and grabbed Anna's messy hair, as if close to her ear, and said: 'The misunderstanding and resentment that happened after you and Alexander got married was all a deliberate plan arranged by Alan and I. Obviously, you're already a notorious lowly woman, but I didn't expect Alexander to come to save you anyway.

"Alexander ... don't come ... over," Anna panicked and wanted to shout to stop, but the headlights were getting closer and closer. Until, that is, the sports car stopped at the pier.

Alexander's upright figure stepped out of the car, his deep gaze looking at Anna full of heartache. "Give Anna back to me, I'll give you whatever you want, don't hurt her."

The masked man had a gun in his hand and was threatening Anna's life.

Tonight, Alexander was risking his life to get to the appointment and he didn't even have any self-protection.

"Anna cheated and betrayed you, why did you save her?" Bella is gloatingly inquiring.

The answer didn't matter, Anna looked at him with raging tears and shook her head desperately.

"Alexander, go away ... I don't deserve you to save me ..."

Alexander gazed deeply at her and said, word for word: "Because Anna is my wife, the woman I want to protect in my life.

It was an answer to Bella, and even more so to Anna.

"Say, what exactly do you want in exchange?"

The masked man's voice laughed strangely. 'I want shares in The Fort Family."

I'll give it to you.Alexander didn't half hesitate.

"But I don't need you to give it, as long as you die here.

The masked man suddenly raised the gun in his hand.

Bang!

The bullet hit Alexander's heart.

"No-"

Anna cried out hoarsely!

At the same time, the moored yacht suddenly started moving.

Anna was shaken to the point that her wounds hurt more, but not as much as her heartache at the moment.

"Alexander--"

The speeding yacht was getting farther and farther away from the pier.

No matter how Anna shouted, her voice was covered by the waves and wind.

The surrounding darkness was as thick as ink, and in an instant, a huge explosion of fire suddenly rose from the pier's location.

The fire engulfed Alexander's body. Watching the fire of the explosion getting smaller and smaller, and finally moulded

blurred in the eyes, Anna cried heartbreakingly.

Sorry ...

She was the one who got Alexander into trouble, she was the one who killed him.

At this moment, Anna was in so much pain that she didn't even have the strength to cry, the intense pain made her body twitch and tremble.

Shivering.

The yacht travelled to the middle of the sea and stopped.

"Anna, you got what you got today, you The Wright Family siblings turned against each other and your family was destroyed, it was your stupidity that gave me the opportunity. The sharks in this sea will treat you well, you will die here and no one will ever know, you The Wright Family family will soon be reunited down there."

Bella cut the ropes binding Anna's hands with her knife and watched her fall into the sea.

Those were the last words Anna heard.

The suffocating sensation of drowning left her with no strength to struggle and she gradually lost consciousness.

Blood was spreading in the sea water and the smell of blood was like the scent of prey, attracting sharks in the sea.

Towards the end, Anna didn't close her eyes.

It was her resentment, remorse, pain ....

She was very angry!!!

If I could do it again ...
