Revenge After Death

Michael leaned on the wall at the side like he was injured.
"Michael..." Yasmin called out his name nervously.
I lifted my head and looked at him. His gaze was fixated on me. It looked like he wanted to know my answer as well.
"Let's hurry. Michael is hurt." Yasmin looked at me angrily as though I was the one prompting this argument.
I looked back at Steven and asked quizzically, "Why wouldn't I pick you? You're my legal husband."
Steven froze for a moment before his eyes lit up.
He looked toward Michael as if to gloat, the triumph evident in his expression.
Michael's fists tightened, and his expression seemed to have paled slightly.
"You heard her. She only picked you because of the marriage certificate." He scoffed.

I felt a bit numb. I stared at Steven with furrowed brows but remained silent.
Seeming to notice the shift in my mood, Michael said, "Rachel was her best friend. Joel was one of your people as well. Is this all you care about when they just died down there? How cold-hearted do you have to be? What a lunatic."
He was trying to cause a rift between us as Zion's emotions were also suppressed to their limit.

"Carol... is gone. Joel and Rachel are also gone," Quinn sobbed out the words.
Everyone's sadness peaked after her words.
They all stared at Steven who didn't appear visibly upset.
In that split moment, I felt the prejudice that was cast upon Stephanie back then.
It was as if not knowing how to express sadness made you a monster.
"Let's go..." Eason broke the awkwardness and tried to get everyone to leave.
Steven turned to look at me again. It looked

He might not care about what the rest thought, but he cared about my opinion.
I didn't offer any words of comfort, but I tightened my grip on his hand.
"Do you really not care about Joel's life, Steven?" Eason, however, suddenly asked.
"I only care about Stephie." Steven seemed like he was upset as he pulled me into his chest.
He should've known what the others would think of him if he said things like that.
