During a classmates' reunion party, the villa unexpectedly collapses, trapping both Priscilla Hobbs, my husband's true love, and me beneath the fallen ceiling. My husband is a member of the rescue team. To keep Priscilla alive, he chooses to lift the ceiling from her side. He says, "Pris is an actress. She can't be crippled." The ceiling crushes my legs as it's lifted from the other end. My husband seems to have forgotten that I have a congenital blood clotting disorder. Without my legs, I'll die…

A Collapsed Love Chapter 8
On the day of the cremation, Joel refused to let go of my urn, holding it tightly in his arms.The unexpected turn of events came when the police got involved.Suspicious of the messages that had tarnished my name, Eileen and Theo reported them to the authorities.Upon receiving the tip and considering the peculiarities surrounding the collapse, the police decided to merge the two cases into a single investigation.Just like that, the case progressed quickly.It wasn't long before they uncovered key evidence and identified the suspects.The mastermind behind those messages was none other than Priscilla's close friend.Following Priscilla's instructions, her friend impersonated me and sent insulting texts to Priscilla to drive a wedge between Joel and me.As it turned out, Priscilla had been involved with a high-ranking official. She seduced Joel in a calculated effort to secure a legitimate status for her illegitimate child.As for the building collapse that killed me, it was

Theo lunged forward and kicked Joel away."Get the hell away from Aurora! Don't you dare touch her with your filthy hands!"Joel, eyes bloodshot, charged forward like a madman and yanked off the white sheet covering me.My mutilated body was exposed before him.From the knees down, my legs were nothing but mangled flesh and shattered bones, the stark white of my broken limbs protruding in a grotesque display.Joel froze in place, unable to utter a single word.After a long silence, he numbly reached out, his trembling fingers gently tracing the jagged wounds on my legs.He had personally "crafted" these wounds.He stared blankly at my face, then, as if possessed, reached out and pinched my cheek.The intimate gesture startled me.In seven years, he had always been cold and distant, rarely showing affection between husband and wife.I wasn't naive enough to believe he had ever truly loved me. He was simply too shocked to think straight.Joel caressed my face, mumbling nonsen

Joel's hands trembled as he pulled out his other phone, which had been turned off for three days.The moment it powered on, a flood of WhatsApp messages and texts poured in like a snowstorm.They were all from Sofia and our mutual friends—and every single one was about my death.There were even photos of me, covered in blood, being carried into the ambulance."No… This isn't possible…"Joel's face turned deathly pale. His legs gave out, and he nearly collapsed.Theo yanked him upright and said coldly, "Believe it or not, she's dead. Completely, irreversibly dead."Joel stood frozen in place, utterly stunned.Then, as if he had gone mad, he opened my WhatsApp chat and began sending voice messages repeatedly."Arie, why aren't you texting me?"Arie, stop pretending."Arie, I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry!"Arie, please, just say something!Theo grabbed him by the collar and forcefully dragged him away from the driver's seat.The hospital was right across the street. I f

Joel had the sales associate carefully wrap the jewelry before driving to a newly opened bakery nearby.A man who had never been interested in desserts now leaned over the display case, studying the delicate pastries he once scoffed at."Do you have a low-sugar version of this cake? And this chocolate one—make sure the cocoa powder is unsweetened." His voice was gentle as he instructed the staff.The employees around him praised him for being such a thoughtful and attentive boyfriend.My heart clenched tightly and it felt like I might pass out from the pain.Joel carried the neatly packed cake to his car, eager to return to the hospital.I sat in the back seat, watching as he occasionally steadied the dessert box with one hand, my chest aching so much I could barely breathe.Halfway through the drive, he suddenly slammed on the brakes, his gaze fixed on the street to his right, his brows furrowing.Following his line of sight, I saw two of his university friends, Theo Cust and

Priscilla managed to push the already wavering Joel into a full-blown rage with just a few words.He tore the death certificate to shreds and shouted furiously, "Aurora has really gotten smart! Now she's even buying fake documents to trick me!"What do you all take my mother for? A maid? Just because she's kind-hearted, do you think you can force her into going along with your lies?"I never should have saved her! I should have left her there to reflect on her actions and learn how to be a proper wife!"Every word cut deep, piercing straight through my heart.So this was what it felt like to be in unbearable pain—to the point that all one could do was laugh.But as I laughed, tears slipped into my mouth, bitter and salty."Joel, I won't have the chance to learn anymore in this lifetime. In the next life, I never want to be your wife again," I swore.Eileen stared at Joel in disbelief. "Aurora is in this very hospital. Come with me and say all of that to her face!"His patience

Stung by the accusation, Joel flew into a rage.He growled, "Enough! I've tolerated you this long for Aurora's sake, but don't push your luck! I've been doing rescue work for years and have seen countless people with broken legs! Aurora only injured her lower legs and was treated in time. How could she possibly be dead?"Tears streamed down Eileen's face as she grabbed the cup from the bedside table and splashed Joel with water."Xander, just whose husband are you? Do you think you're noble and devoted? You traded Aurora's legs for Priscilla's life—but what about Aurora? Why did she have to die?"Joel's face turned pale, then flushed red, his expression shifting back and forth.After a long silence, he responded, "I-I'll make sure Aurora gets the best rehabilitation and the most advanced prosthetics so she can live like a normal person..."Someone had to be saved first. I didn't have a choice…"Eileen furiously wiped her tears away, then pulled a knife from her bag and charged f
A Collapsed Love Chapter 2
Finally, seven years of entanglement, love, and resentment came to an end.Thinking of this, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.When I came to my senses, Joel had already carried Priscilla into a ward.The doctor said Priscilla only had minor injuries, yet he still refused to leave her side.One of his subordinates couldn't stand it anymore and softly reminded him, "Mr. Xander, Mrs. Xander's condition isn't good. Her legs were crushed. Shouldn't you at least check on her?"Joel hesitated for a moment, but before he could move, Priscilla pitifully clutched his hand. "Joel, I'm scared. What if I fall asleep and wake up to find my legs broken? Can you stay with me?"As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks, making her look like a wounded little rabbit.His heart softened instantly, and he gently reassured her, "Don't be afraid. I'm here. I won't go anywhere."His subordinate stomped his foot in frustration. "Mr. Xander, Mrs. Xander's legs are broken! Can't you at least take a look
A Collapsed Love Chapter 1
The class reunion had just ended when the villa hosting it suddenly collapsed.Priscilla Hobbs and I were both trapped beneath a massive concrete slab.Her legs were pinned down by steel bars, while mine had been crushed, the pain unbearable.Joel Xander arrived with the rescue team at this critical moment.One of his subordinates hesitated and asked, "Mr. Xander, Mrs. Xander's condition doesn't look good. Should we get her out first?"But without a second thought, Joel picked up his tools and began prying the slab off Priscilla."Priscilla is an actress. If her legs are broken, her life will be ruined."His voice was cold, as if I were nothing more than a stranger.Fighting through the pain, I pleaded with tears in my voice, "Joel, you know I have a congenital blood clotting disorder. If you keep prying that thing, my legs will break. I'll bleed out and die!"Even now, I naively hoped that Joel would show me a sliver of compassion.We had spent seven years together. Even if
