The previous owner turned into a stalker and followed the girl all the time. Things would have turned out differently if the girl actually had a boyfriend or something. But to her misfortune, she was alone and single. Her parents lived in the countryside, not even sending any mail. They were completely isolated.
The only contact the girl would ever have with her parents was when she would go once a year for a few days during the Christmas holidays.
After the guy was clear on Hope's schedule and her entire life, per se, he decided to make her move. He approached her when she was in her most desperate situation.
Actually, the previous owner knew that the girl would go to the bar with her friends once a month to drink. The previous owner had to stalk the girl for half a year for this.
So whenever it was her outing day, she would get home completely drunk. If she was unable to move, her friends would accompany her and drop her off at home. Even if her friends left without dropping her off, the kind bartender knew her address and would send her home in a cab.
So over the years, the girl never got into any accidents. Even the drivers she hired would be kind enough to assist her without stealing or taking advantage of her.
The previous owner entered by hiring an actor instead of a driver to transport her home. The driver pretended to take advantage of the girl while taking her to the wrong place, and the previous owner went over and saved the girl from the evil man.
It was a good thing that the girl remembered everything from the night when she woke up. The man hadn't left any contact info with her, which was a deliberate act. The previous owner knew that the girl would get desperate to find him if he left just like that, and he wanted to create a desperation in her heart for him.
He planned everything from start to finish, and they met 'accidentally' as he bumped into her at the office. The two hit it off and became friends first. He became a person she wanted to meet and deliberately became her knight inshiningy armor multiple times. He forced her to fall for her through circumstances.
For example, he sent people to kill her family in an accident. Then he showed the girl that he was a very good person who could handle everything well, even the funeral of her parents. He suddenly became a responsible man in the girl's heart.
Their relationship grew even closer. The man then started controlling her even more. He forgot about his original wish, and his desire to monopolize her increased even more to the point that, by the time she saw his real face, she had been driven mad.
He married her and turned her into a doll she liked to control. His threads moved her from behind the scenes, making her his most beloved puppet. Whenever he liked, he could make her cry. Sometimes he would make her go naked in public, while at other times he would force her to commit suicide.
Even the girl's mental state turned worse as she spent more time with him, but the girl never realized that her husband was controlling everything. She thought everything was her doing, and she jumped into the pool of guilt more and more.
In the end, when she found out that her husband was a control maniac and a freak, she broke down and went crazy. That's when the accident happened, as she pushed her husband down the stairs.
When the cops arrived and the case was finally made public, they couldn't believe how a perfect husband could have turned out to be a control freak who committed his own wife to a mental institution. But when they saw how his wife was driven mad over the course of the marriage's first three years, they couldn't help but sympathize for her.
Thus, that's how their faces would change whenever they saw Shane.
He didn't think of anything after seeing this. He simply closed the window and removed his hacking traces before jumping out of the room, closing the window behind him. He soon returned to his room and closed his eyes after lying on the bed.
Only then did he venture into his mind, thinking about what he had just learned.
F*ck. He was married to Hope?!
That was even worse than his most horrific dream! That was perhaps why she refused to say another word at that time and forced him to find out the critical information himself.
Damn it. So f*cking terrible!
Even if the previous owner was married to her, he committed a gruesome crime. Wouldn't it be logical enough to give them a divorce or something. Why were they still registered?!
Shane covered his face as he felt a hint of frustration in his heart and another emotion that he couldn't recognize.
Let's just wait for Hope to do whatever she wants to and meet him all over again.
For a few days, Shane acted perfectly normal, as if there wasn't anything wrong with him. Even though people were afraid of him, they still couldn't continue to let their guard down in front of her.
A few guards even started talking to him unreservedly. Even though he never spoke to Ed again, he still saw his sister almost every day. It was torture for him not to do anything about it and directly ask her if she remembered him.
But over time, he managed to program his mind into believing that the girl wasn't his relative but a rude employee who looked like his sister.
Things were going well until one day, when he was wandering around at night, Hope jumped down again and said, "Get ready. We're going to run off."
Shane had many questions bursting in his belly, but he didn't ask them. Instead, he pursed his lips and nodded.
If they were running away, it meant that she must have managed to control her freaky self and take control of the body. So it could be that the girl was safe to wander outside the institute.
But Shane was worried about something. "What are we going to do after running away?"
"First," Hope said, pointing to his face. "Divorce."
Shane rolled her eyes and said, "Anything else? Do we have a mission?"
Hope nodded. "We have to destroy this world."
Shane looked like he had expected this to happen. He shrugged and said, "I knew it."
Hope nodded and said, before climbing back to the pipe, "Wait for my signal. And don't look at my thighs again. It's disgusting."
"Really?" Shane sneered. "Then wear something proper."
"So you're saying it's the fault of a girl to be teased and stared at?"
"No," Shane said flatly. "It's your fault that I'm looking at you. You're doing it deliberately, aren't you?"
Hope's face turned angry as she was about to say something when the alarm blared. "We will continue later."
"I won't." Shane waved and turned back with a blank expression on his face.
Oh, he forgot to ask her what kind of signal she would give. He turned around and had just opened his mouth when he noticed that the girl had climbed too high in such a short time. He sighed and turned around, returning to the group of people.
Since she said she would signal him, she might as well wait and see what the girl intended to do.
After this, thirty minutes passed before the alarm blared once again. At this time, everyone had returned to their cells, ready to go to sleep. Shane looked out of the door and turned to a guard at his door. "What happened?"
"That girl ran away again." The guard sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"The girl in my case?"
The guard was silent for a moment as he sighed again for the millionth time. "Shane, tell me something; you're not lying about your memories, are you?"
"What do you think?" Shane scoffed. "I don't even remember my own name. The only way I found out about it was through the doctors and you guys. I still haven't figured out what I did to her in the first place."
The guard seemed to have relaxed after hearing those words. "It's fine. Just stay inside and don't make trouble."
"I'm sleeping. Knock me up in the morning."
After saying that, he went to the ventilator and started removing the rods, just like before.
The girl had said she would send the signal. What could be a better signal than the voice he heard just now? It could only mean that she had run away to find him. He should just go to the backside of the institute and wait for her there.
Since that was the only place without any cameras, he knew Hope would go there.
