“Yours?” Shane narrowed his eyes at Stanley's deranged look and his lips curled into a sneer. “If she was truly yours, did you have to hypnotize her into thinking that you were me? Who gave you the right to claim that she's yours?”

Stanley lowered his head after listening to him, his thoughts unbeknownst to anyone but himself.

However, after some time, the man lifted his head and wore a spine-chilling smile as he cackled, his shoulders bobbing up and down from the motion. “Yes, it's all because of you. Your appearance has influenced Nat. If it weren't for you, Nat would have been mine sooner or later. So, Shane Thompson, I just need you to disappear!”

Stanley reached into his pocket and fished out a small scalpel that shone with a cold glint.

Shane's iris constricted at the sight of the scalpel and he instinctively pushed Natalie further away from himself.

“Shane Thompson, go to hell! When you're good as dead, I will erase her memories, and Nat will not have a clue of who you are, and you won't be able to influence her anymore!”

Stanley broke into a cackle right after and aimed for Shane's heart.
