While I Died, He Held Her In His Arms

Synopsis

A kidnapper's knife pressed against my neck, and the phone on the other end was on speakerphone. I heard my fiancé Liam Mitchell's impatient voice. "She's a hassle. Kill her if you want to." On the other end of the line was his first crush, Eleanor Baker, her laughter light and sweet, while outside the window, the entire city lit up with fireworks set off for her. I closed my eyes. Right before the blade could break my skin, I whispered, "Do it. Don't let him hear me cry."
