Fate has always been cruel to her, and the moment she thought she is finally going to be happy.
The worst happened.
Imogen gasped for air as he strangled her, no struggling, no resistance. She just wants it to end quickly, then she can put an end to her wretched life.
She felt life slowly leaving her and darkness taking over. It is finally ending, without a chance to explain her.
Does she have any regret? Yes, ever thinking she could love Simon. That was her regret and in her next life. If such a thing exists, the last person she will want to meet will be him.
He looked at her with nothing but hatred, strangling her to death. He loved her but was betrayed, he thought of a life with her, a future that he could live in forever. But she taught him again, that he can't be happy nor trust anyone.
Death, that is what he wants for her. But death is too merciful, he wants her to feel his pain, to be miserable like him.
