Adele's sacrifice shattered Eric completely. He had once been confident that he could control everything, but after hurting his own sister, he realized he had lost it all. Eric collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed with pain and regret. Although he had once been my greatest enemy, I now felt a complex sense of pity for him.
"Why... why did you do this?" Eric's voice trembled as he held the broken body in his arms, his eyes filled with fear and remorse.
Adele lay in Eric's embrace, her face pale and her breathing faint. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, as if she had finally found relief.
"Because... I... could no longer endure... being controlled by you." Adele's tone was weak yet resolute, her eyes revealing a sense of liberation.
"Eric... you are my brother... but... you are also my enemy." Adele's voice gradually faded, her life slipping away bit by bit.
"What should I... do? How can I make it up to you?" Eric was utterly broken, tears filling his eyes as he helplessly called out Adele's name.
However, Adele could no longer respond. Her hand fell limply to the side, her eyes slowly closing as she departed this world in silence.
Eric knelt in despair on the ground, tightly holding onto Adele's lifeless body, his heart completely submerged in regret and guilt. The man who had once been cold-hearted and full of confidence was finally defeated at this moment.
He no longer had any will to continue fighting because he had lost everything.
Watching Eric's despair filled me with complex emotions. I had once yearned for revenge, but now I felt an unprecedented emptiness and confusion.
I realized that this quest for vengeance had not brought me any true satisfaction or joy; instead, it deepened my understanding of the complexities and contradictions of human nature.
In the end, Eric chose to end his own life. He knew there was no way out but to face the tragedy he had caused. He slowly stood up, his expression shifting from despair to determination.
"This is my end." Eric's voice carried a sense of helplessness and sorrow. "I spent my life pursuing power, only to lose everything."
His gaze reflected a profound sense of powerlessness, as if narrating his own helplessness and regret.
"I lost, Isabelle." Eric turned his gaze toward me, his eyes complex and deep. "I lost it all."
I remained silent, simply standing there and watching this man who had once been my greatest enemy.
Eric ultimately chose self-destruction. He collapsed beside the massive crack in the hall, his expression shifting from indifference to despair, ultimately finding release in self-destruction. His last glance held a hint of regret, as if seeking an unattainable redemption.
As I looked at Eric's body, countless complex emotions surged within me. The person who had once harmed me had finally ended everything before me. His death did not bring me pleasure; rather, it prompted deeper reflection and insight.
This quest for revenge had finally come to an end, but I felt no relief or joy.
The silence in the ruins was broken by distant sounds; it seemed someone was approaching. I stood in silence for a moment, took one last look at Eric's body, then turned and walked away into the darkness of the ruins.
The final outcome of this revenge taught me many things. Vengeance itself does not bring true satisfaction or happiness; it only leads to more pain and emptiness.
I finally understood that true liberation lies not in revenge but in letting go. Only by releasing hatred can one truly look forward and find their own happiness and peace.
This act of revenge made me reevaluate my life and deepened my understanding of the complexity and contradictions of human nature. I decided to leave this place filled with painful memories in search of my own peace and happiness.
