Stefan felt his heart ache. The man stared at her with cold eyes, asking, �Have you ever considered that I�m doing all of this, going through so much trouble, because I want to start over with you? And yet you�d rather die than give us another try?�

�I can�t!�

�Why not?�

Renee rested her head in her hands, racking her brain and thinking of an excuse to escape this stubborn man. �This is so weird! Isn�t he cold and distant all the time? Why is he suddenly acting like a lovesick puppy? It�s like there�s no end to his pestering!�

�B-Because I�m not a reliable person. I�m not suited to be a wife.�

�I beg to differ.�

�How am I suitable? I was just pretending to be a good wife back then. To be honest with you� I have a lot of bad habits, and dark secrets that I keep to myself too. If you found out about any of them, you would definitely want to stay away from me,� Renee said desperately, all in the hopes of escaping this marriage.

�Secrets?� Unfortunately, this only piqued Stefan�s interest. �I love secrets. Do tell me about them.�

�Alright then, you asked for it! I have violent tendencies, and I love beating people up.�

�That�s not exactly a secret. I experienced it firsthand long ago.�

�But did you know that I�m a murderer too?�

Stefan�s gaze turned cold, and shock flashed in his eyes briefly. However, he was able to compose himself within seconds, putting on a fake smile.

�Your martial arts skills are quite impressive, so that�s not surprising.� He had long guessed that Renee was someone with great power. Her identity as the gentle daughter of the Everheart family was a mere mask to please the public. Her secret identities would definitely blow everyone�s minds if she were to be found out.

However, the man never found enough concrete evidence to rip that mask off. Thus, he was very excited to hear her reveal her secrets.

�Really now?� Renee cracked her knuckles and approached the bed, smirking coldly. �Are you not afraid that you�d be my next target? After all, you can�t move. A mere flick of my finger would be enough to take your life. Our marriage would automatically be dissolved then, so I wouldn�t have to negotiate senselessly with you.�

She then placed two fingers on the man�s neck, as quick as lightning. �I�ll be honest, the last man who died in my hands was way stronger than you. But my thumb and pointer finger were enough to snap his neck in an instant. The way his tongue fell out was similar to those horror movies too!�

After revealing this information, Renee hoped that Stefan could finally see just how cruel and coldblooded she could be, and would voluntarily distance himself from her.

Unfortunately, it seemed that she had achieved the complete opposite instead.

Stefan didn�t seem scared at all, and his eyes filled with admiration as he asked, �Did you really snap someone�s neck using only two fingers?�

Renee was dumbfounded. �Is this guy for real? Why is he focusing on that instead?� JrNovels.com
