“I didn’t mean to, your shares aren’t worth
much, I’ll double the compensation.”
Holden reached for his phone to transfer
money.
Halfway through, Susan called, afraid of the
dark.
He pocketed his phone.
“She’s delicate, needs me to sleep with her.”
“It’s late, it’s not safe for you to move alone,
let’s talk tomorrow. Take a sugar–free
breakfast to the hospital, she’s picky.”
I ignored Holden, taking my suitcase to my
<
room.
Two messages appeared.
One from my man.
“See you at the courthouse at 1 PM.”
One from Holden.
“It’s going to rain, you’re still recovering, don’t rush. Rest at home, no need to deliver
breakfast, I’ll take Susan to the sky garden.”
After nine years, Holden reported his
schedule for the first time.
He expressed concern.
Too late.
I blocked his number.
I finished packing and left.
Holden stormed out of his Ferrari.
He slapped me.
“You bitch, you pretended to be virtuous, then
you told Grandpa to freeze my card.”
“I was going to propose to Susan, you ruined
it!”
L
“From now on, don’t try to remarry me, or
step foot in the Holden family again!”
He kicked my suitcase into the pool.
My parents‘ gifts were ruined.
Ignoring the throbbing pain, I jumped in.
My wounds reopened, staining the water red.
After retrieving my things,
My body was swollen, my skin pale.
Susan pretended to offer a robe.
She twisted my wound.
“You think Grandpa’s protection is enough?
loves me, I’ll be Mrs. Holden!”
“We’ll get our license this afternoon, you can
cry with your divorce papers!”
I gasped, unable to speak.
Holden spat on me, embracing Susan.
A kind stranger took me to the hospital.
Susan sent taunting messages.
When I had my accident, Holden ignored my
calls, attending a concert with Susan.
<
I was removed from the company because
Holden helped Susan.
The company, the mansion, even both
families‘ estates.
Holden and Susan slept everywhere in the
city.
She wanted me to give up.
But she didn’t know I no longer loved Holden.
I turned off my phone and went to the
courthouse.
My man waited.
He handed me the marriage certificate and
put the ring on my finger.
“I’ll get the car, let’s go home.”
Holden and Susan entered.
“Nancy, I told you I won’t remarry you, don’t
bother me.”
“You’re wrong, I’m not bothering you,
because…”
I didn’t want to hear Holden’s accusations.
<
I held up my marriage certificate.
“I’m married.”
