When Prey Becomes Predator

After waking up from a car accident, I become the perfect wife of Dr. Leonardo Rossi.

In the next two years of being an amnesiac, I rely on Leonardo and love him with all my heart. But on the night of our wedding anniversary, I accidentally overhear his murmured conversation with a subordinate.

"Take her out once she's done signing the asset transfer papers."

At that moment, a searing hot memory comes barging into my mind.

I remember a man placing a hand on my sweat-drenched lower back. As he pants, he murmurs into my ear, "My dearest Donna Vittoria Costa, remember that I'm the only one who can make you shiver like this."

Finally, the fog that has been haunting my mind is lifted, allowing more memories to return. It turns out that the man who has held me by my waist is none other than Leonardo, who's currently passing a glass of water to me with a smile on his face.

I swallow the pill that he has handed to me. But in reality, I hide the pill beneath my tongue and merely swallow the water.

Dear doctor, when the prey remembers that it's supposed to be the predator, do you think your scalpel will still be capable of slitting my throat?

The torrential rain slammed against the floor-to-ceiling windows, sounding like countless shards of glass shattering.

Leo had been gone for 47 minutes.

On the table before me sat a glass of warm water and the blue pill I had to take every night. The blue pill gleamed strangely under the light, like the eye of some deep-sea creature.

Leo said it was a neuro-repair medicine to help restore my memory. He told me that my brain had been severely damaged in a car accident, and it would take time and patience for me to heal.

He was my best husband and my most considerate doctor.

Some time after I took the pill, I sat up from the bed.

The villa was terrifyingly quiet. Even the sound of rain seemed sealed off outside. I stepped barefoot onto the floor, feeling a little more awake at the cold touch.

Light leaked through the half-closed door as I passed the study.

Had Leo come back?

Just as I was about to open the door, I heard a hushed voice from inside. "The will has already been changed, and I've taken care of the lawyer. The trust fund, real estate, and overseas funds… All the assets under her name will be automatically transferred into my account."

My breathing hitched.

"Don't worry. She's very pliant—even more so after taking the pills." There was a hint of mockery in Leo's voice when he continued, "Next week, she'll sign the final property transfer agreement and transfer the remaining shares to me. Once the documents take effect, we'll stage an accident."

The person on the other end of the line said something, and Leo chuckled. The sound sent a chill down my spine.
