My husband, Theodore, was about to take his childhood sweetheart, Rosalie, around the world in a hot-air balloon when I was kidnapped by his enemy. They were about to throw me into a snake pit. I gave up asking Theodore for help and called my father-in-law instead. In my previous life, I begged Theodore to save me, even kneeling in front of the phone camera. Hence, he abandoned the hot-air balloon ride with Rosalie and rushed to negotiate with the kidnapper. Rosalie was all alone and angry. She took another hot-air balloon, but it exploded mid-way, causing her to die on the spot without even leaving behind an intact corpse. Hearing the bad news, Theodore showed a rare calm expression. He seemed to forget about Rosalie's existence and took me on a trip around the world. As we were sailing in Norwol, he suddenly pushed me into the sea. "I should never have saved you. Snake pit? Kidnapper? How could they have had the courage to push you into it? I should've never saved you if I knew it'd kill Rosalie. You should go to hell sooner!" When I opened my eyes again, I had come back to the day I was kidnapped. This time, I chose not to call for help. Humble love would only leave you bruised and battered.
View MoreAfter I left, Theodore stabbed Rosalie with one of the paring knives on the coffee table. Finally, ambulance sirens were heard in the residential area, and Theodore was reportedly seen with a bloody knife in his hand, crying for help in despair.However, none of this was no longer my business. I had a new life. I had successfully changed the course of events in this life, and I was currently soaking in a hotel bathtub.I did not expect Theodore to show up a month later.When I opened the door, he fell to his knees in front of me. "Celeste, I was wrong. Will you forgive me? I don't want a divorce. I want to spend my life with you."I frowned. "Theodore, the world doesn't work the way you want it to."He answered, "No... I know I was wrong. I know you still like me."The once high and mighty man knelt humbly in front of me, but it only made me sick."Hold on, Mr. Lambert. There's no cure for regret. You killed your future children with your own hands. It serves you right."Yes, I
Rosalie could not help taking a step back. "W-What are you talking about?""Rosalie, what's going on? Who's that man?" Theodore looked at her angrily.Rosalie suddenly rushed up and tried to take my phone. Unfortunately, I was prepared. I easily dodged her and played another clear recording."Reagan, you're the only one I love. Please, let's get back together." It was Rosalie's humble voice. She acted like the queen when she was with Theodore, but it turned out she could be a simp for someone else.The guy named Reagan was indifferent. "You want to get back together with me? Aren't you with Theodore?""Reagan, I have nothing to do with him. Theodore is the one who keeps pestering me and following me around like a simp," Rosalie replied.Reagan's voice was still indifferent. "Is that so? You'd better not be two-timing us.""No, no. How can Theodore compete with you? He's just a backup..."My phone fell and was smashed to pieces. It was not Rosalie but an angry Theodore who smash
"Theodore, I'm scared." Rosalie rubbed her temples and fell into Theodore's arms.Then, Theodore threw me on the floor, and my belly hit the corner of the table. An excruciating pain hit me, and I clutched my belly with my hands as warm liquid gushed out between my legs.The dumbfounded doctor yelled, "Oh no, she's having a miscarriage! We must operate on her immediately."However, Theodore remained unresponsive. All he did was caress Rosalie's stomach."Why argue with a madwoman? What if your pregnancy is affected and it harms our son?"I was also carrying his baby, but he would not glance at mine. Instead, he treasured the one Rosalie was carrying.Even if it was my second chance at life, I still could not help feeling saddened.Theodore pointed to my nose and roared, "Celeste, stop fucking pretending! Get on your knees and apologize to Rosalie. If you don't apologize, I'll divorce you and throw you out. You won't get anything when that happens."I finally gave up. Even if my
"See. I told you she was faking it." A snarky voice rang out, accompanied by the click-clack of high heels hitting the ground. The next second, in came Rosalie.I was finally relieved that she was alive. I had finally changed my fate.As soon as Rosalie appeared, Theodore stopped looking at me and immediately turned into a gentle and kind man who held her hand. His loving look made it seem as though he were holding a priceless collection. "Why did you come here? You're more than a month pregnant. You should be resting."Rosalie twisted her neck, looked at me sarcastically, and provoked, "Oh, you didn't think we were going to cancel our trip for you, did you? I'm pregnant, and I live next door."Theodore said, "Don't hurt our baby because of someone unrelated. Let me help you back to your ward."I was so relieved to hear that she was pregnant. I could get a divorce from Theodore and escape from him for good.Just as they were about to exit my ward, the doctor came in head-on. "Who
I did not expect to die faster this time. Amid the chaos, I seemed to have returned to three years ago.…I checked into a hotel on a business trip. I opened the door with the card, and a man reeking of alcohol immediately pounced at me. Although his face was red, he had defined features and was handsome. The buttons on his chest had been torn open, revealing a strong chest.Before I could say anything, he threw me on the bed. He exuded a young yet intense love, and his clear eyes melted my heart.The first time we met, I was attracted to him with a primitive impulse."I'm going to marry you," he said.His eyes were like the moon, and his tone was seductive. I could not contain myself, and he had already begun to undress me.However, he sat on the bed and said nothing on our wedding day."Why aren't you in bed?" I asked him shyly."In bed? I thought we'd already slept together? Have you forgotten that our intimate photos were all over the news? Now that you've gotten the statu
Peter looked at me on the ground with disdain. "If you think that kidnapping yourself will change Mr. Lambert's attitude toward you, you're dreaming."It was what fate did sometimes; it would ruthlessly drive people into a corner.I struggled to prove that none of this was an act, but Peter was unmoved no matter how hard I tried. The moment Peter turned around, the kidnapper panicked. "Take one more step and I'll kill her.""Kill her. Hurry up." Peter turned around with a grin. He waved, motioning to the kidnapper to continue. "Mr. Lambert doesn't want this woman anymore anyway. Just keep acting and we'll see who has the last laugh."Before he finished speaking, a cold flicker gleamed in the kidnapper's hand as he sliced a gaping hole in my face. Bright red blood burst."Help me!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.The moment Peter turned around, my heart jumped as tears almost burst out of my eyes.However, before I breathed a sigh of relief, Peter laughed out loud. "Mrs. Lambe
"I'll cut you if you continue to dilly-dally!" The kidnapper's voice rang again, bringing me back to reality.I didn't know what to do. If I called Theodore, would the same tragedy happen again? I was panicking as my mind raced.Just then, I saw a figure moving at the entrance. It turned out to be Theodore's assistant, Peter Zimmer.I shouted, "Help me!""Mrs. Lambert, are you really here?" Peter walked into the cave unfazed—as if it were not a dangerous kidnapping scene but a boring tea party.I almost cried for joy as if I had just seen my savior, but what he said next made my heart sink instantly. "Mr. Lambert asked me to ask what the kidnapper would need in return for the release of a drama queen like you."The kidnapper was obviously surprised as he looked at Peter wide-eyed, but he soon regained his composure. "Cut the crap. A hundred million dollars or you can collect Mrs. Lambert's corpse!"Hearing the figure, Peter paused for a moment before bursting out laughing. His l
Theodore held her body in the morgue for a day and a night without eating or drinking. When he came out, he forced a smile at me.We were married, but it was only in name. He had not touched me in months. He saw me as an obstacle between him and Rosalie and wanted to kick me out. All I got from him was the cold shoulder. I grew guilty after what happened. Rosalie was a human being, after all.Seeing that I was at a loss, Theodore touched my head for the first time. "It has nothing to do with you. I forgot to secure the rope."He did not blame me and said he would spend the rest of his life with me from now on.It was one surprise after another during that period. He took me to a business event and bought me a beautiful dress for the first time. Then, he bought a yacht and said he would take me to Norwol for the weekend to see the northern lights.For the first time, I found out how romantic he was and how lucky I was to be his woman. I looked forward to that day's arrival, but I
Theodore knew I was here and what I was facing, yet he played dumb and even made Fred his accomplice.However, I knew that Fred was the only person I could turn to for help now. "Fred, I really have been kidnapped! Please save me!" I almost cried into the phone, my voice incoherent with fear.Fred, on the other end of the line, was still nonchalant. "Celeste, you can argue with Theodore all you want, but don't joke about such things. He's busy. You should be considerate of him."I thought, 'Considerate? When he was busy riding in a hot-air balloon with Rosalie and when he pushed me into the sea, was I not considerate of him?'However, I had no time to be angry, so I could only suppress my voice and speak into the phone with a hint of humble plea, "Fred, I really have been kidnapped. You and Theodore don't have to come. Just send someone over. Whether it's a hundred million or a few million dollars, it'll solve the problem, right?"Fred sighed and answered with a hint of impatience
The dark snake pit was eerie, and the damp air was filled with a nauseating smell. Countless pythons wriggled their thick bodies at the bottom of the pit, making a creepy hissing sound.Cold, sticky sweat broke out on my back in waves.The kidnapper walked to the opening, his fleshy face trembling slightly with anger. "Celeste Chandler! It's all because of your husband! Your husband's company cost me everything. I have a mortgage to pay, and my parents are waiting for me to save them. How could you live so comfortably?" The kidnapper growled hysterically as he held a bright dagger against my neck.I froze, not daring to move for fear of provoking the kidnapper.The kidnapper threatened, "Tell your husband I want a hundred million dollars, or I'll throw you down and feed you to the snakes!"My face was pale, but my body could not help trembling.Theodore Lambert had offended many people over the years. I knew it would be dangerous, but I never thought these people would be so ru...
