Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 210

We all fell silent, our eyes glued to the screen.

On the screen, Marissa walked to the edge of the rooftop, stopped by the railing.

She paused and looked back, her expression shifting slightly.

"What's she looking at?" Janice exclaimed.

"I don't think she’s looking," I shook my head, noting Marissa's glance back.

I quickly paused the video, zooming in on her face. A faint smile graced her beautiful features. For a moment, I felt as if she was looking through the screen at me, smirking with a wicked delight.

My heart raced, an involuntary shiver of dread ran down my spine.

The next second, I resumed the video. Marissa had already climbed over the railing.

Standing at the edge of the rooftop under the dim light, her white nightgown stood out sharply. Without hesitation, she stepped forward, arms spread wide.

My hand instinctively shook in response.

Yes, she stepped forward, walking, instead of jumping, into the void as if it was solid ground. The white figure plummeted downwards, disappearing from the screen.

"Holy moly..." Janice gasped.

My heart pounded as the figure vanished from the screen.

To be honest, I hated Marissa to the point that every cell in my body screamed at me to tear her apart. Yet, seeing her disappear silently, knowing she was gone, I felt an odd mix of emotions. Was it relief? Regret? Or frustration that I couldn't punish her properly? Regardless, it left a bitter taste in my mouth.

I rewound the video, pausing on her final smirk.

I nodded, understanding.

"Then an officer talked to her for 45 minutes. After that, she was driven home and never left her apartment again.

No one visited her during that time. No phone calls. No messages. Then you saw what happened on the surveillance footage. She just walked off the roof. Where did the drugs come from?" Logan spread his hands.

We all exchanged glances.

"What if she did it herself?" I guessed, looking over at Logan.

Logan shook his head, "Unlikely. No one faces their death that calmly. Someone definitely drugged her."

We all fell silent, a chill running down our spines. Who could have drugged Marissa?
