Chapter 3

But Sophia suddenly spoke up: "It's spring now. The snakes are agitated because it's their mating season. It seems this intelligent monitoring system isn't intelligent enough."

Hearing this, Adrian's expression relaxed, and he regained his composure.

I cried out in pain from the bites, knowing this was my last chance to save myself. Nearly suffocated by the king cobra's coils, I managed to free up enough space to speak and pleaded with all my might:

"Adrian, I was wrong. I truly know my mistake now. I'll divorce you. I won't interfere with your happiness anymore. Please let me out. I've been bitten..."

"Ah, my stomach hurts so much. The residual poison must be acting up," Sophia suddenly screamed, interrupting me. "Never mind... Adrian, let her out. You were married to her after all. Seeing her so pitiful, you're bound to feel some compassion. Isn't that why your father took her in and had you marry her when her mother died?"

Adrian's face immediately darkened as he remembered something. His cold gaze pierced through the glass door, fixing on me.

"You slut! If you want to act, keep putting on your show with the snakes! Maybe if you act well enough, these snakes will be seduced by you and stop biting you."

"Let's all leave! Let her perform her solo act here! Unless we push her to the brink of despair before letting her out, she won't realize her mistakes."

Adrian left without even glancing at me again.

I screamed desperately, begging him to stop, but he didn't pause.

Soon, I couldn't scream anymore.

Because as soon as I opened my mouth, a snake slithered in, its tongue flicking.

They consumed my internal organs from top to bottom and bottom to top.

I made hissing sounds from my mouth, feeling the blood rapidly draining from my body, the flesh peeling off.

I couldn't scream anymore because my tongue had been eaten, my vocal cords bitten through.

I heard Sophia's voice.

"Oh my, she's really stopped calling out. Adrian, you were right. She was just pretending to be pitiful for your sake."

"Sophia, don't mention that ill-fated venomous woman anymore. You're the only one in my heart. No matter how she acts, I won't be fooled again."

As the footsteps gradually faded away, the king cobra finally tired of toying with its prey.

Slowly coiling its thick, slippery body, I heard the sound of bones breaking throughout my body.

At this moment, Adrian was instructing the servants to throw all my belongings into the storage room.

Because Adrian wanted to officially announce to all the staff that Sophia would be the new mistress of this villa.

As my body was almost drained of blood, Adrian burned the love letters I had written to him and knelt on one knee to put a diamond ring on Sophia's finger.

"I'm sorry. I hope you can accept this belated proposal. I was deceived and manipulated by her before, which is why I married her. But I'll make her divorce me as soon as possible."

"What if your father doesn't agree? He clearly treats Olivia differently..."

"That's not up to him anymore. This morning, when I registered my marriage with that venomous woman, his share transfer agreement was already handed to me by the lawyer. Now I don't have to care about his opinion anymore. He's been bewitched by an old slut himself, yet he still presumes to control how I treat the little slut."

As Adrian expressed his disgust towards me, the king cobra opened its foul-smelling mouth and swallowed me whole. I was completely enveloped in its belly.

Amidst the intense compression and corrosion, I closed my unwilling eyes in despair.

A drop of blood-tinged tear slid from the corner of my eye, mourning for the life I had wrongly devoted.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already floating above their heads.
