What savagery

Standing in the light, Jeremy stood up and his body was stretched out in a straight line. He raised his chin at me, as though ready to take on the attack of an army without fighting back. "Come on. I won't fight back."

My temples twitched as if I was looking at a lunatic.

"Can't bring yourself to it?" When he saw that I wasn't moving, he had a smile on his face. "You can kill me in another way. In bed?"

When I heard his words, it was as if a switch suddenly flicked in my heart. All I could think about was the years of romance we shared.

The past was like a movie playing in a loop, roaring in my mind. I felt the ache spread from my heart, and I gradually calmed down.

I tilted my head to look at my white fingertips and sneered, "Who do you think you are?"

"From that night three years ago onward, you had been dead to me."

"Why should I waste my energy on someone who is dead to me?"
