Chapter 1225


    "He has given you a call, hasn''t he? Did he mention that he will take me away? Well, perhaps offer


    you something in exchange?"


    Aria looked at Michael with a glimmer of hope.


    Even Michael, who was named ''The ruthless devil'' had previouslymitted countless murders felt


    somewhat touched at the moment.


    However, he said nothing as he watched the sparkles in Aria''s eyes had faded gradually and then


    completely vanished.


    She said in a self-deprecating manner, "I''m being too naive, aren''t I? I''ve long known that he doesn''t


    love me right before I was here. I merely wish to grab this chance and make him marry me with a


    grand wedding. Well, it''s just my wishful thinking and I''m indeed stupid."


    Tears ran down her cheeks as she sobbed silently and motionless as if the sky was falling onto her.


    Michael had shown a littlepassion towards her but there was nothing he could do.


    "Can you please set me free? I want to go back and ask him the reason why he lied to me."


    Aria abruptly jumped down from the bed and knelt down in front of Michael.


    "I''m begging you, please let me go! Please!"


    Michael immediately narrowed his eyes as there was a trace ofplicated emotions rushed


    through his mind.


    The face which resembled Valentina was flickering and crying in front of Michael.


    Was Valentina crying also while pleading for mercy from those people nine years ago?


    No way!


    It was impossible for her to do so!


    She was way too tough that she would never make herself to be so humble.


    Instead, she would try her best to win over the heart of the person whom she loved. She would


    never kneel down to the others to achieve her goal.


    Hence, the woman was definitely not Valentina!


    Michael abruptly came to his sense. However, he could only feel a silver light shed across his


    eyes, and just then a cold dagger instantly stabbed into his chest.


    He could feel only a throb of pain and the fresh red blood gushed out from his body that sshed


    over Aria''s face.


    There were still tears wearing on her face.


    Her hands were shivering in fear and so as her body.


    "I''m really sorry, Michael. Please forgive me. This is my only chance. I know that he may not love


    me, but he has never lied to me. He did say that he will marry me if I''ve killed you. I trust him!


    Michael, I believe in him! I know it''s wrong tomit homicide, and I know also we''ve no grudges


    between each other. However, didn''t you take my virginity as well? I''ll pay my debt with my body in


    return, okay? Although the sin can''t be clear in that way, I''ve no other choice. Is it possible that I''ll


    work a ton for you in next life?"


    Aria was crying her heart out.


    She should hate that man!


    He was the one who took her virginity, wasn''t he?


    Why was she feeling nervous right at the moment when she saw his fresh blood spurting out from


    his body?


    She was truly horrified!


    Michael had never thought that his life would have ended in the hands of such a petite woman.


    She was not even considered a killer.


    How embarrassing it would be if the news was spread out!


    One wouldn''t believe that a less known woman managed to kill Michael who was being called


    "Ruthless Devil"!


    However, Michael did not feel offended.


    For some reason, he was indeed calm at the moment.


    The pain in his chest had spread to his limbs and then all over his body.


    He was panting while leaning against the window but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.


    "Will you get what you want if I die?"


    Aria had thought that she would witness how Michael went nuts, but little did she expect that his


    cid tone almost made her cry.


    "I''m sorry."


    She could only utter these words for the time being.


    However, Michael let out augh.


    Heughed brightly and amusingly indeed.


    It seemed that his smile was not tainted by the gory over those years, and he was still the same


    man.

    He said, "Perhaps I can meet Valentina after I die. I haven''t seen her for nine years. I couldn''t even


    enter into her cemetery. Instead, I could only set up a memorial stage for hermemoration every


    year. I had no idea if Valentina could hear my voice. Also, I didn''t know if she has reincarnated.


    Would she forget about me? It doesn''t matter. I''m going to meet her soon after all. It sounds great."


    After finishing his words, he fell to the ground as heughed.


    Aria felt touched.


    She wondered how much did Michael love Valentina?


    How could he be so relieved?


    Was he going to die?


    He should be!


    Would he still be alive with so much of blood loss?


    Aria suddenly felt panicked.


    She quickly found herself a set of clothes from the cab and put them on. Then she tried her best


    to remember the solution to flee but to no avail. She realized that she couldn''t leave with either way.


    The ce was surrounded by plenty of Michael''s men.


    Even if she had killed Michael andpleted her mission, she couldn''t leave the spot, let alone be


    the bride of Maverick.


    Looking at the blood in front of her that was gushing out increasingly and was slowly soaking the


    floor, it as though Aria was witnessing herpanions who died in front of her eyes.


    She curled up herself on the bed and tightly hugged her legs.


    Why didn''t Mavericke to her rescue yet?


    She had done what she was told. She killed Michael!


    Why didn''t he send theds to pick her up?


    He would definitelye to her rescue, wouldn''t he?


    Would hee over as he had never lied to her before?


    Aria appeared to recall something and quickly jumped down from the bed. She took out the phone


    from Michael''s pocket and unlocked the screen using Michael''s fingers. Then she dialed the most


    familiar number as she could remember promptly.


    "Michael, have you thought it all through?"


    Maverick''s voice sounded from the other end.


    Aria immediately let out a cry.


    "Maverick, I''ve killed Michael! I killed him! I''ve done everything that you asked me to. When will you


    pick me up? There''re plenty of people here. Everybody wish to kill me. Can youe over


    quickly?"


    Aria said it quickly as she was afraid that the person on the other end would hang up the call if she


    utteredte.


    Maverick waspletely stunned.


    "What did you just say?"


    "I''m telling you that I''ve killed Michael!"


    Aria ttered Maverick like a kid, but she could only hear a loud shout from the other side abruptly.


    "Who asked you to kill him? Don''t you know the importance of him towards me? Do you know that


    he is Nathaniel''s most capable right-hand man? Do you think that I''ll send you over there if I want to


    kill him? You idiot! All I want is the power in Michael''s hands, and made him topletely surrender


    to me. That man is a sharp weapon without any feelings. If I got him with me, I would have taken


    half of the Baxter Alliance. How dare you kill him? How could you really kill him? Aria, you''re indeed


    good- for- nothing! You''ve ruined everything! I''ve shown you my mercy to let you stay alive up to


    now. Do you still want me to save you? If it wasn''t that you have the same appearance as


    Valentina''s, would I send you over to seduce Michael? Look at the thing that you''ve done now?


    You''ve really killed him! Why did you still want toe back in this way? You shall bury yourself


    with Michael then."


    After that, Maverick smashed his phone without waiting for Aria to react.


    Aria waspletely stunned.


    What did Maverick say?


    He was the one who asked her to kill Michael. Why did he scold her forpleting her task?


    Didn''t he agree to marry her after she had killed Maverick?


    What did he mean by asking her to die with Michael instead?


    Aria crazily wanted to revert the call but the other party had already ignored the call. Atst, it was


    no longer in the service area anymore.


    She knew that Maverick had cklisted her number.


    Aria fell to the ground and felt extremely sticky. Only then did she realize that she had sat on


    Michael''s blood.


    That man''s expression was ghastly pale.


    Aria didn''t know how much blood a human''s body could hold, but she knew that Michael could no


    longer be saved if the situation went on that way.


    She had learned that she was abandoned by Maverick.


    It turned out that she was merely treated as a substitute to be sent to Michael''s side.


    Her existence was rather pointless to Maverick.


    She was not even as important as Michael to Maverick.


    How could a man like him love her?


    Also, how would he marry her?


    It was her who was infatuated with Maverick, messing up all her judgments. And now, she was


    treating others'' lives like nothing.


    It was karma, wasn''t it?


    She couldn''t believe that she was abandoned by the person whom she loved the most.


    "Hahaha!"


    Aria chuckled loudly.


    She found that she was indeed ridiculous and her whole life was a joke.


    However, she couldn''t help but shed more tears.


    She looked at Michael, who fell unconscious, and said, "You know it right? You knew that I was a


    joke from the very beginning, didn''t you? No wonder you didn''t kill me but just imprisoned me


    instead. It turned out that it was my appearance that made you reluctant to kill me. Well, what did I


    do? I''m being stupid all this while. I thought I''m obedient and well-behaved when I did as he told


    me. He will definitely be fond of my disposition and fall in love with me then. I even thought that he


    would marry me after I''ve killed you. However, he has initially nned to give me to you. Hahaha!


    I''m truly pathetic and ridiculous!"


    There was a trace of sadness in Aria''s tone, which immediately attracted the attention of the people


    outside.


    "What happened? Is the woman crazy?"


    "How can it be? Boss is inside."


    "Well, Michael didn''t make a sound at all."


    The three guards at the door looked at each other, and instantly felt somewhat anxious.


    "Let''s enter inside!"


    The trio knocked on the door quickly.


    "Boss? Michael?"


    However, Michael didn''t show any reaction at all.


    The three of them became anxious and abruptly kicked the door open. They caught sight of Aria


    sitting on the ground. She was crying andughing like a crazy woman while Michael had already


    bathed in the blood pool.


    "Boss Michael!"


    The trio quickly stepped forward and kicked Aria away. Then, they quickly picked up Michael.


    Michael was still bleeding, but he wore a relieved smile on his face.


    The three of them were on the verge of tears.


    "Call the ambnce! Hurry up!"


    Someone had already begun to call an ambnce.


    Another man got up and came to Aria. He gave her two ps which made her feel dizzy.


    She immediately fell to the ground and then she was warned by the man, "You better pray that


    Michael will be fine. Otherwise, I will rip off your skin and pull out your tendons. Then you''ll be


    chopped into pieces to feed the dogs!"


    Aria had begun to shiver.


    Shepletely believed the man''s remarks and she was truly nervous. Upon thinking so, she


    abruptly got up and ran toward the wall beside her like a lunatic.


    "Stop her! Do you think you can just end your life after hurting Michael? You won''t have it so easy!"


    Plenty of people rushed in at once which they managed to grab Aria in time the moment when she


    was about to hit the wall. A man among them had even given a call to Nathaniel instantly.
