With a loud crash, the bottle shattered against the edge of the table, liquid spilling across the floor like a crimson tide.

Meryl gripped the neck of the broken bottle, her resolve hardening as she swung it toward Dalton and the hand heheld.

"Don't touch me, you filthy bastard!"

Dalton's breath hitched, a mix of shock and disbelief washing over him. "You think I'm filthy?"

"Yes! Dalton, are you really that thick-headed?"

Meryl's eyes blazed with fury, a storm of emotions that had been brewing for seven long years finally erupting.

"I used to cling to you like a shadow, but the moment you. started seeing Lydia behind my back and sent me to prison, that was the end of us!" Shards of glass littered the ground, mingling with an unknown pool of blood.

But Meryl didn't care.

"Now I see clearly. I must have been blind to ever like you. What's the matter? Can't handle the truth?"

A cold smirk danced on her face as she raised the jagged bottle again, aiming for his hand.

"I congratulate you, Dalton! You finally get to marry Lydia!

But here you are, holding my hand. Aren't you worried your precious Lydia will get jealous?"
